World: monthly astrology forecast
The month
The world finds relief in some areas and strain in others. With Venus in Libra (the seventh house of the world chart), diplomacy takes a warm tone, and trade or foreign investment deals are likely. On the other hand, costs, debt and strain on prisons and hospitals grow; that comes from Saturn in Pisces (the twelfth house of the world chart).
- Jupiter in Cancer (the fourth house of the world chart), so prosperity in farming, land and housing, with signs of good harvests and better schools. Jupiter is exalted here, so the effect is strong.
- Mars in Cancer (the fourth house of the world chart), so 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 Libra (the seventh house of the world chart) means diplomacy takes a warm tone, and trade or foreign investment deals are likely. Venus is in its own sign and holds its ground.

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. The world reading uses the Kalapurusha chart, with Aries as the first house, so each sign stands for one area of life for humanity as a whole. Positions are sidereal (Lahiri) and are calculated, not looked up. Astrology describes tendencies, not certainties.

Common questions
How is the world forecast worked out?
With the Kalapurusha chart: Aries is the first house and each sign stands for one area of human life. The reading follows where the planets stand, and in what state, at the sankranti and new-moon moments.
Is this certain?
No. Mundane astrology shows the tendencies of a period and where pressure or support is stronger. It does not predict specific events or the fate of any person.
