Best and toughest months for each area
| Area | Year | Best month | Toughest month | Why it is toughest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏛️ Government & Leadership | Mixed | March | May | Antardasha lord Saturn (until 5 Apr 1969) sits in the 10th house and rules the 1st house. In this chart Saturn is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this antardasha strains the area. (Saturn stands for labour, democracy, infrastructure, chronic problems and the country's endurance.) |
| 💰 Economy & Public Finance | Challenging | August | March | A solar eclipse (28 Mar 1968) falls in Pisces, the 2nd house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 📈 Trade, Markets & Technology | Mixed | April | November | In France's foundation chart the 3rd house (communication, media and neighbours) is ruled by Mars, which sits in a neutral sign in the 4th house. This is the permanent base for this area — a supportive one. |
| 🛡️ Defence, Security & Conflict | Mixed | August | April | A lunar eclipse (13 Apr 1968) falls in Virgo, the 8th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 🤝 Foreign Relations & Alliances | Favourable | August | October | Mars transits the 7th house (94% of the month); Mars (from the 8th house) aspects the 3rd house — Mars brings pressure to treaties, allies, trade partners and open rivals. |
| 🏥 Public Health & Welfare | Mixed | July | January | Mars transits the 1st house — Mars brings pressure to the health of the population, hospitals, disease outbreaks and welfare systems. |
| 👥 Society, Stability & Law and Order | Challenging | July | January | In France's foundation chart the 4th house (land, masses and domestic peace) is ruled by Venus, which sits debilitated (weak) in the 8th house; Mars occupies the 4th house itself. This is the permanent base for this area — a testing one. |
| ⚖️ Justice, Religion & Education | Mixed | October | August | In France's foundation chart the 9th house (law, religion and higher learning) is ruled by Venus, which sits debilitated (weak) in the 8th house; Jupiter occupies the 9th house itself. This is the permanent base for this area — a testing one. |
| 🌦️ Climate, Agriculture & Natural Events | Under strain | December | April | In France's foundation chart the 4th house (land, masses and domestic peace) is ruled by Venus, which sits debilitated (weak) in the 8th house; Mars occupies the 4th house itself. This is the permanent base for this area — a testing one. |

Annual charts — 1968
Cast for Paris (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?
France uses its Fifth Republic chart (1958-10-04, 18:30, Paris). 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.
