Annual charts — 2088
Cast for Colombo (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?
Sri Lanka uses its Independence chart (1948-02-04, 00:00, Colombo). 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.
