United Kingdom in 2024: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United Kingdom through 2024, 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
- Simha (Leo)
- Lord of the year chart
- Surya (Sun) in house 8
The solar year began on 13 April 2024, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at London, Leo was rising.
Sun rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 8th house, which keeps shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Mars in the 7th house brings drive, quick decisions and some heat in debate 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.
Jupiter in the 9th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield.
The founding chart
No founding chart is read for this country: there is no agreed time for it, or it is older than the charts here can reach.
Planets changing sign
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishabha (Taurus)
On 1 May 2024 Jupiter moves into Taurus, the 10th house of the year chart (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world).
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Eclipses
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 8 April 2024 in Pisces, the 8th house of the year chart (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances).
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 18 September 2024 in Pisces, the 8th house of the year chart (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances).
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 2 October 2024 in Virgo, the 2nd house of the year chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
The weeks around an eclipse are read as a time to review and finish rather than to launch new public ventures in the matters it touches.
