Best and toughest months for each area
| Area | Year | Best month | Toughest month | Why it is toughest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏛️ Government & Leadership | Challenging | January | November | A solar eclipse (25 Nov 2011) falls in Scorpio, the 10th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 💰 Economy & Public Finance | Mixed | February | June | A lunar eclipse (15 Jun 2011) falls in Sagittarius, the 11th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 📈 Trade, Markets & Technology | Mixed | May | January | Ketu transits the 5th house while retrograde — Ketu brings pressure to trade and commerce, the media, the technology sector and stock-market sentiment. |
| 🛡️ Defence, Security & Conflict | Mixed | March | June | Saturn transits the 8th house — Saturn brings pressure to the armed forces and police, border tensions, terrorism and internal security. |
| 🤝 Foreign Relations & Alliances | Mixed | May | February | In France's foundation chart the 7th house (foreign relations) is ruled by Sun, which sits in a neutral sign in the 8th house. This is the permanent base for this area — a testing one. |
| 🏥 Public Health & Welfare | Mixed | August | December | Mahadasha lord Saturn (until 24 Apr 2014) rules the 1st house and is a natural significator of this area. In this chart Saturn is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this mahadasha strains the area. (Saturn stands for labour, democracy, infrastructure, chronic problems and the country's endurance.) |
| 👥 Society, Stability & Law and Order | Under strain | January | June | A solar eclipse (1 Jun 2011) falls in Taurus, the 4th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| ⚖️ Justice, Religion & Education | Mixed | October | July | A solar eclipse (1 Jul 2011) falls in Gemini, the 5th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 🌦️ Climate, Agriculture & Natural Events | Under strain | January | June | A solar eclipse (1 Jun 2011) falls in Taurus, the 4th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |

Annual charts — 2011
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.
