United States in December 2002: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United States in December 2002, 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
- Tula (Libra)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shukra (Venus) in house 7
The solar year began on 13 April 2002, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Washington DC, Libra was rising.
Venus rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 7th house, which keeps foreign relations, treaties and trading partners in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Sun in the 7th house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Moon in the 7th house brings shifting public mood and a focus on everyday needs to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Mercury in the 7th house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Saturn in the 8th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances.
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
- Surya (Sun) enters Dhanu (Sagittarius)
On 15 December 2002 Sun moves into Sagittarius, the 3rd house of the year chart (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 4 December 2002 in Scorpio, 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.
