Pakistan: monthly mundane forecast

A mixed picture for Pakistan: gains here, hurdles there. The month’s new moon falls on 9 November, Monday, 12:02 pm, with Capricorn rising over Islamabad at that moment. On the bright side for Pakistan, long-term work on infrastructure and transport moves ahead, and hard work pays off; Saturn in the third house helps here. One worry for Pakistan stands out: there is a risk of disputes abroad or strain on the borders, and trade talks will be tough, with Mars in the seventh house.

• With Mars in the seventh house, there is a risk of disputes abroad or strain on the borders, and trade talks will be tough. Mars is debilitated, so the strain is felt more.
• Rahu in the second house means murky dealings in finance and odd swings in prices; stay clear of dubious investment schemes.
• The Sun in the tenth house: the government and top leadership stand firm; big decisions come quickly, though criticism will not be scarce. But the Sun is debilitated, so the promise is only partly kept.
• The chart’s ruler is Saturn: the ruler is in the third house: busy with transport, neighbours and media, and bold steps pay off.

How this is worked out: The month is read from the new-moon chart (amavasya) and the month’s sankranti chart, with the month’s planetary movements and the Moon’s daily path through the chart. Charts are cast for Islamabad 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.
