The nation's running dasha
Vimshottari dasha counted from the national Moon (Taurus, Rohini). The Mahadasha sets the long theme, the Antardasha the current chapter, the Pratyantardasha the month-to-month tone.
Mahadasha — Jupiter (31 Aug 2012 → 31 Aug 2028). Jupiter stands for prosperity, banking, the judiciary, religion and optimism. In Iran's chart it rules the 7th and 10th houses (foreign relations; government and head of state), sits in Cancer (the 2nd house) exalted (at its strongest), and is functionally benefic 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.
Antardasha — Jupiter (31 Aug 2012 → 19 Oct 2014). Jupiter stands for prosperity, banking, the judiciary, religion and optimism. In Iran's chart it rules the 7th and 10th houses (foreign relations; government and head of state), sits in Cancer (the 2nd house) exalted (at its strongest), and is functionally benefic 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 — Moon (6 Mar 2014 → 10 May 2014). Moon stands for the people, the public mood, food and water. In Iran's chart it rules the 2nd house (national wealth), sits in Taurus (the 12th house) exalted (at its strongest), 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.
Pratyantardasha periods inside this month: Sun (26 Jan 2014 → 6 Mar 2014); Moon (6 Mar 2014 → 10 May 2014).
Where the slow planets stand
♄ Saturn — Saturn is in Libra (retrograde), the 5th house (creativity, youth and markets) of Iran's chart. Saturn disciplines, delays and tests whatever a house governs — here that means education, birth rate, entertainment, sport, speculation and stock markets. Expect slow, demanding progress rather than sudden change.
♃ Jupiter — Jupiter is in Gemini, the 1st house (the nation and its people). Jupiter expands and protects what it touches — national character, vitality and public image — and its glance falls on the 5th, 7th, 9th houses as well.
☊ Rahu / ☋ Ketu — Rahu is in the 5th house (creativity, youth and markets) and Ketu in the 11th house (parliament, allies and national income). The nodal axis brings foreign influence, shocks or obsession to education, birth rate, entertainment, sport, speculation and stock markets, and detachment, loss or sudden endings to the legislature, allies, economic gains and national aspirations.
Sade Sati of the nation — not running (the national Moon is in Taurus; Saturn is in Libra).

The foundation chart — Islamic Republic proclaimed (time approximate)
🇮🇷 Iran is a theocratic republic with large oil and gas reserves, an influential regional role and an economy strained by sanctions. Its foundation chart is cast for the Islamic Republic proclaimed (time approximate) — 1979-04-01, 12:00 local time, Tehran — and rises in Gemini, so Mercury, lord of the Lagna, is the nation's ruler: it sits in Pisces (the 10th house) debilitated (weak). The 10th-house (government) lord Jupiter sits in the 2nd house exalted (at its strongest). The Moon — the people — is in Taurus in Rohini nakshatra.
Planets at their strongest: Moon (exalted), Jupiter (exalted). Planets under strain by sign: Mercury (debilitated). Concentrations: Sun, Mars, Mercury together in Pisces (the 10th house). These natal conditions are the permanent "base score" used in every monthly verdict.

Key house domains
Lunation and eclipse charts this month
Each chart is cast for Tehran 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.
Iran uses its Islamic Republic proclaimed (time approximate) chart (1979-04-01, 12:00, Tehran). 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.
