United States in 2014: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United States through 2014, 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 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 5
The solar year began on 13 April 2014, 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 5th house, which keeps education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
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.
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.
Ketu in the 7th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns 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 Karka (Cancer)
On 18 June 2014 Jupiter moves into Cancer, 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.
- Shani (Saturn) enters Vrishchika (Scorpio)
On 2 November 2014 Saturn moves into Scorpio, the 2nd house of the year chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Eclipses

A lunar eclipse falls on 15 April 2014 in Libra, the 1st house of the year chart (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people).
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 29 April 2014 in Aries, the 7th house of the year chart (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners).
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 8 October 2014 in Pisces, the 6th house of the year chart (the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration).

A solar eclipse falls on 23 October 2014 in Libra, the 1st house of the year chart (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people).
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.
