Best and toughest months for each area
| Area | Year | Best month | Toughest month | Why it is toughest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏛️ Government & Leadership | Mixed | August | January | Saturn transits the 10th house while retrograde — Saturn brings pressure to the head of state, the ruling party and cabinet, and the nation's prestige. |
| 💰 Economy & Public Finance | Favourable | August | June | A solar eclipse (30 Jun 1973) falls in Gemini, the 11th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 📈 Trade, Markets & Technology | Mixed | November | December | A solar eclipse (24 Dec 1973) falls in Sagittarius, the 5th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 🛡️ Defence, Security & Conflict | Mixed | April | July | Jupiter transits the 6th house while retrograde — Jupiter brings support to the armed forces and police, border tensions, terrorism and internal security. |
| 🤝 Foreign Relations & Alliances | Mixed | September | May | Mars transits the 7th house — Mars brings pressure to treaties, allies, trade partners and open rivals. |
| 🏥 Public Health & Welfare | Mixed | February | January | Mahadasha lord Moon (until 31 May 1999) sits in the 6th house and is a natural significator of this area. In this chart Moon is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this mahadasha strains the area. (Moon stands for the people, the public mood, food and water.) |
| 👥 Society, Stability & Law and Order | Challenging | October | January | Mars transits the 4th house — Mars brings pressure to the mood of the masses, protests, the opposition and domestic peace. |
| ⚖️ Justice, Religion & Education | Challenging | May | December | A solar eclipse (24 Dec 1973) falls in Sagittarius, the 5th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 🌦️ Climate, Agriculture & Natural Events | Challenging | October | January | Mars transits the 4th house — Mars brings pressure to weather, harvests, water, earthquakes, floods and other natural events. |

Annual charts — 1973
Cast for Moscow (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?
Russia uses its Declaration of State Sovereignty chart (1990-06-12, 12:00, Moscow). 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.
