Best and toughest months for each area
| Area | Year | Best month | Toughest month | Why it is toughest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏛️ Government & Leadership | Strongly favourable | February | October | Venus transits the 10th house while retrograde — Venus brings support to the head of state, the ruling party and cabinet, and the nation's prestige. |
| 💰 Economy & Public Finance | Mixed | February | October | In China's foundation chart the 2nd house (national wealth) is ruled by Saturn, which sits in a neutral sign in the 8th house. This is the permanent base for this area — a testing one. |
| 📈 Trade, Markets & Technology | Favourable | May | November | In China's foundation chart the 5th house (creativity, youth and markets) is ruled by Venus, which sits in its own sign (strong) in the 10th house. This is the permanent base for this area — a supportive one. |
| 🛡️ Defence, Security & Conflict | Favourable | April | December | A lunar eclipse (21 Dec 2010) falls in Gemini, the 6th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 🤝 Foreign Relations & Alliances | Mixed | June | February | Mars transits the 7th house while retrograde — Mars brings pressure to treaties, allies, trade partners and open rivals. |
| 🏥 Public Health & Welfare | Favourable | February | December | A lunar eclipse (21 Dec 2010) falls in Gemini, the 6th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 👥 Society, Stability & Law and Order | Mixed | April | January | A solar eclipse (15 Jan 2010) falls in Capricorn, the 1st house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| ⚖️ Justice, Religion & Education | Mixed | May | November | Saturn transits the 9th house — Saturn brings pressure to the courts, religious institutions, universities and national morale. |
| 🌦️ Climate, Agriculture & Natural Events | Mixed | April | October | Antardasha lord Sun (until 20 Sep 2011) rules the 8th house. In this chart Sun is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this antardasha strains the area. (Sun stands for the head of state and the authority of the government.) |

Annual charts — 2010
Cast for Beijing (Placidus, Lahiri). The weekday of the moment gives the year's ruler: Raja for the Hindu new year, Mantri for the Sun's entry into Aries.
🌙 Chaitra Shukla Pratipada
Vikram Samvat New Year — VS year theme chart
The first lunar day of Chaitra Shukla Paksha — start of the Hindu lunisolar new year. The Lagna governs the character of the year; the weekday lord is the Raja (king of the year) — its dignity shapes governance. Jupiter in H1/H9/H11 → prosperous year; Saturn in H1/H4/H10 → austerity; Rahu in H1 or aspecting the Moon → mass anxiety or epidemic risk.

☀️ Mesha Sankranti
Solar New Year — Sun enters sidereal Aries (0° Mesha)
The moment the Sun crosses into sidereal Aries — the most important Sankranti of the year. The Lagna shows the solar year's character; the weekday lord is the Mantri (minister) who guides strategy. Sun exalted or in a kendra → national vitality; afflicted Sun → leadership crises; Saturn's house shows where the year demands discipline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this verdict worked out?
For each area of national life (government, economy, defence …) the page adds four things: the natal base, the running dasha, the month's transits and any eclipse on its governing houses. The total becomes the label, and the reasons behind it are listed under each area.
Which chart is used for a country?
China uses its Proclamation of the People's Republic chart (1949-10-01, 15:01, Beijing). Mundane charts are debated — different astrologers prefer different moments, and some founding times are approximate — so treat the analysis as one consistent lens, not a prediction.
Is this a forecast?
No. It describes which areas the sky is supporting or pressuring in a given month, using classical rules. Real events depend on people, policy and chance; read it as a weather report for tendencies, not a guarantee.
Astrology is a traditional symbolic system, not a scientific forecast. Nothing here is financial, political, medical or security advice.
