United States: monthly mundane forecast

For the United States, the difficulties slightly outweigh the help. The month’s new moon falls on 9 November, Monday, 2:02 am, with Leo rising over Washington at that moment. On the bright side for the United States, official drives in transport, roads and media stand out, and the position in talks with neighbours stays firm; the Sun in the third house helps here. One worry for the United States stands out: caution about foreign influence and diplomatic tricks, with Rahu in the seventh house.

• With Jupiter in the first house, a protective hand rests on the whole picture; public health and morale hold up well.
• Mars in the twelfth house means there is risk from hidden hostility, waste and fire; border areas need closer watch. Mars is debilitated, so the strain is felt more.
• Saturn in the eighth house: care is needed for the elderly, for chronic illness and for accidents such as mine or building collapses. Being retrograde, it works in stops and starts.
• The chart’s ruler is the Sun: 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 Washington 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.
