United States in January 2001: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United States in January 2001, read from the chart cast when the Sun entered Mesha, from the country's founding chart and from any eclipse in the month. They describe tendencies in public life, not fixed events.
No founding chart is used for United States on this page, so it reads from the Mesha Sankranti chart cast for Washington DC 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
- Mesha (Aries)
- Lord of the year chart
- Mangal (Mars) in house 1
The solar year began on 13 April 2000, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Washington DC, Aries was rising.
Mars rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 1st house, which keeps the country as a whole and the general mood of its people in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Sun in the 1st house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Jupiter in the 1st house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Saturn in the 1st house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Moon in the 4th house brings shifting public mood and a focus on everyday needs to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Rahu in the 4th house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Ketu in the 10th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
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
- Surya (Sun) enters Makara (Capricorn)
On 13 January 2001 Sun moves into Capricorn, the 10th house of the year chart (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 9 January 2001 in Gemini, the 3rd house of the year chart (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours).
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.
