United Kingdom in 2019: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United Kingdom through 2019, read the way mundane astrology reads a nation: from the chart cast when the Sun enters Mesha each year, from the country's founding chart and from the year's eclipses. They describe tendencies in public life, not fixed events.
No founding chart is used for United Kingdom on this page, so it reads from the Mesha Sankranti chart cast for London and from the eclipses.
Mundane readings here stay with themes and timing windows. They say nothing about any public figure and do not try to name particular events.
The year chart (Mesha Sankranti)
- Cast for
- Lagna
- Mithuna (Gemini)
- Lord of the year chart
- Budh (Mercury) in house 10
The solar year began on 14 April 2019, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at London, Gemini was rising.
Mercury rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 10th house, which keeps governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Rahu in the 1st house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Jupiter in the 7th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Saturn in the 7th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Ketu in the 7th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Sun in the 10th house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
