United States in January 2019: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United States in January 2019, 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
- Vrishchika (Scorpio)
- Lord of the year chart
- Mangal (Mars) in house 2
The solar year began on 13 April 2018, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Washington DC, Scorpio was rising.
Mars rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 2nd house, which keeps national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Saturn in the 2nd house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech.
Jupiter in the 12th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight.
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 2019 Sun moves into Capricorn, 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 5 January 2019 in Sagittarius, the 2nd house of the year chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 21 January 2019 in Cancer, the 9th house of the year chart (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield).
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.
