Myanmar: weekly mundane forecast
The week
For Myanmar, some news is good and some is worrying. The week’s main turn: Mercury turns retrograde in Libra; decisions on education, young people and the stock market may slip and old issues return. A good time for education, exams and young entrepreneurs, thanks to Mercury in the fifth house. One worry stands out: religious confusion and legal tangles may appear, with tighter rules on foreign travel, with Rahu in the ninth house.
The better days are Sunday and Saturday; take more care on Monday to Wednesday.

How this is worked out: The week is read from the chart of the latest new moon, the week’s planetary movements and the Moon’s sign on each day. Charts are cast for Naypyidaw in sidereal (Lahiri) positions with whole-sign houses. House meanings follow classical mundane astrology: the first house is the people, the tenth the government, the seventh foreign affairs, the fourth land and farming, the eighth disasters and debt. Astrology describes tendencies, not certainties.
