United Arab Emirates: monthly mundane forecast
The month
The United Arab Emirates finds relief in some areas and strain in others. The month’s new moon falls on 10 October, Saturday, 7:50 pm, with Aries rising over Abu Dhabi at that moment. With Jupiter in the fourth house, prosperity in farming, land and housing, with signs of good harvests and better schools. On the other hand, costs, debt and strain on prisons and hospitals grow; that comes from Saturn in the twelfth house.
- Jupiter in the fourth house means prosperity in farming, land and housing, with signs of good harvests and better schools. Jupiter is exalted here, so the effect is strong.
- With Mars in the fourth house, the risk of land disputes, fires and accidents at home rises, and heat or drought may strain farming. Mars is debilitated, so the strain is felt more.
- Venus in the seventh house, so diplomacy takes a warm tone, and trade or foreign investment deals are likely. Venus is in its own sign and holds its ground.
- The chart’s ruler is Mars: the ruler is in the fourth house, so home affairs (land, farming, housing and public calm) take priority.

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 Abu Dhabi 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.
