The nation's running dasha
Vimshottari dasha counted from the national Moon (Capricorn, Uttara Ashadha). The Mahadasha sets the long theme, the Antardasha the current chapter, the Pratyantardasha the month-to-month tone.
Mahadasha — Moon (17 Oct 2069 → 17 Oct 2079). Moon stands for the people, the public mood, food and water. In China's chart it rules the 7th house (foreign relations), sits in Capricorn (the 1st house) in a neutral sign, and is functionally benefic for this chart. While this period runs, Moon's themes — the people, the public mood, food and water — are the ones that the sky's triggers switch on.
Antardasha — Venus (17 Aug 2077 → 17 Apr 2079). Venus stands for diplomacy, culture, the arts and treaties. In China's chart it rules the 5th and 10th houses (creativity, youth and markets; government and head of state), sits in Libra (the 10th house) in its own sign (strong), and is functionally benefic for this chart. While this period runs, Venus's themes — diplomacy, culture, the arts and treaties — are the ones that the sky's triggers switch on.
Pratyantardasha — Jupiter (23 Jun 2078 → 12 Sep 2078). Jupiter stands for prosperity, banking, the judiciary, religion and optimism. In China's chart it rules the 3rd and 12th houses (communication, media and neighbours; losses and hidden enemies), sits in Sagittarius (the 12th house) in its own sign (strong), and is neutral in function for this chart. While this period runs, Jupiter's themes — prosperity, banking, the judiciary, religion and optimism — are the ones that the sky's triggers switch on.
Pratyantardasha periods inside this month: Jupiter (23 Jun 2078 → 12 Sep 2078).
Where the slow planets stand
♄ Saturn — Saturn is in Sagittarius (retrograde), the 12th house (losses and hidden enemies) of China's chart. Saturn disciplines, delays and tests whatever a house governs — here that means foreign expenditure, espionage, prisons, hospitals and drains on the treasury. A dusthana placement: pressure is sharper but also forces long-needed reform.
♃ Jupiter — Jupiter is in Scorpio (retrograde), the 11th house (parliament, allies and national income). Jupiter expands and protects what it touches — the legislature, allies, economic gains and national aspirations — and its glance falls on the 3rd, 5th, 7th houses as well.
☊ Rahu / ☋ Ketu — Rahu is in the 4th house (land, masses and domestic peace) and Ketu in the 10th house (government and head of state). The nodal axis brings foreign influence, shocks or obsession to territory, agriculture, housing, the common people, opposition and the weather, and detachment, loss or sudden endings to the ruling executive, national reputation and standing in the world.
Sade Sati of the nation — Saturn is in the first phase (Saturn one sign before the national Moon) — the Moon is the people, so public mood, morale and living conditions feel heavier than usual.

The foundation chart — Proclamation of the People's Republic
🇨🇳 China is a single-party state and the world's manufacturing and export powerhouse, with a very large domestic market. Its foundation chart is cast for the Proclamation of the People's Republic — 1949-10-01, 15:01 local time, Beijing — and rises in Capricorn, so Saturn, lord of the Lagna, is the nation's ruler: it sits in Leo (the 8th house) in a neutral sign. The 10th-house (government) lord Venus sits in the 10th house in its own sign (strong). The Moon — the people — is in Capricorn in Uttara Ashadha nakshatra.
Planets at their strongest: Mercury (exalted), Jupiter (own sign), Venus (own sign). Planets under strain by sign: Mars (debilitated). Concentrations: Sun, Mercury, Ketu together in Virgo (the 9th house). These natal conditions are the permanent "base score" used in every monthly verdict.
KP (Placidus) chart for Beijing at the founding moment, Lahiri ayanamsa — the same layout as the KP tab. The right-hand chart overlays the planets of July 15, 2078 (the 15th of the month) as "G·" (Gochar).

Key house domains
Lunation and eclipse charts this month
Each chart is cast for Beijing at the exact moment of the event — so you can see which house of the local chart it lights up.
How these verdicts are built
- Foundation chart. A country's chart is cast for its founding moment (sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses counted from the rising sign). The 1st house is the nation, the 10th its government, the 2nd its wealth, the 7th its foreign relations, and so on.
- Areas and houses. Each area has governing houses and natural planets: for example Defence uses the 6th and 8th houses and Mars; the Economy uses the 2nd and 11th houses with Jupiter and Venus.
- Natal base. The lord of each governing house is checked for dignity (exalted, own sign, debilitated) and placement (kendra/trikona versus 6th/8th/12th), and benefic or malefic planets sitting in the house itself are counted.
- Dasha. The Mahadasha, Antardasha and Pratyantardasha lords are scored by whether they rule, occupy or naturally signify the area, multiplied by how functionally benefic or difficult they are in this particular chart and how strong they are.
- Transits. Every slow planet is placed by house from the national Lagna for each day of the month. Jupiter and Venus support the houses they pass through; Saturn, Mars and the nodes pressure them (except in the 3rd, 6th and 11th, where malefics help); Jupiter's, Saturn's and Mars's aspects are added, all weighted by how many days they spend there.
- Eclipses. A solar or lunar eclipse on a governing house is a strong negative for that area in the surrounding weeks.
- Label. The four totals add up to a score from −5 to +5, shown as Strongly favourable, Favourable, Mixed, Challenging or Under strain. The "Overall" figure is a weighted average of the nine areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
