United States in January 2016: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United States in January 2016, 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
- Kumbha (Aquarius)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shani (Saturn) in house 10
The solar year began on 14 April 2015, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Washington DC, Aquarius was rising.
Saturn 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
Venus in the 4th house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Jupiter in the 6th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration.
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 14 January 2016 Sun moves into Capricorn, the 12th house of the year chart (public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
- Ketu enters Kumbha (Aquarius)
On 29 January 2016 Ketu moves into Aquarius, the 1st house of the year chart (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people).
Ketu here tends to bring a review of old ways and a quieter, inward turn.
- Rahu enters Simha (Leo)
On 29 January 2016 Rahu moves into Leo, the 7th house of the year chart (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners).
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
