Open "Why the charts say this" under any area to see the exact chart facts behind its verdict.
🏛️ Government & Leadership
ChallengingGoverns the head of state, the ruling party and cabinet, and the nation's prestige · Houses 10th & 1st · Natural significators: Sun
Pressure on the top: rifts inside the ruling group, reputational damage, leadership changes or a loss of public trust are more likely than usual. Hasty decisions are the main risk.
Why the charts say this — score -1.8 (natal -1.4 · dasha -0.4 · transit -0.1)
- natal -1.3 — In Sri Lanka's foundation chart the 10th house (government and head of state) is ruled by Moon, which sits debilitated (weak) in the 2nd house; Saturn occupies the 10th house itself. This is the permanent base for this area — a testing one.
- transit +0.6 — Jupiter (from the 6th house) aspects the 10th house — Jupiter brings support to the head of state, the ruling party and cabinet, and the nation's prestige.
- transit -0.5 — Ketu transits the 1st house while retrograde — Ketu brings pressure to the head of state, the ruling party and cabinet, and the nation's prestige.
- dasha -0.3 — Antardasha lord Sun (until 7 Jul 2022) is a natural significator of this area. In this chart Sun is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this antardasha strains the area. (Sun stands for the head of state and the authority of the government.)
- transit -0.2 — Mars (from the 7th house) aspects the 10th house; Mars (from the 7th house) aspects the 1st house; Mars (from the 6th house) aspects the 1st house — Mars brings pressure to the head of state, the ruling party and cabinet, and the nation's prestige.
- dasha -0.1 — Pratyantardasha lord Ketu (until 15 Jun 2022) sits in the 1st house. In this chart Ketu is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this pratyantardasha strains the area. (Ketu stands for hidden forces, secrecy, separation and sudden natural events.)
💰 Economy & Public Finance
MixedGoverns the treasury, banking, the currency, national income and gains · Houses 2nd & 11th · Natural significators: Jupiter, Venus
Gains and strains sit side by side — good headline numbers can be offset by inflation, debt costs or uneven sectors. Selective rather than broad strength.
Why the charts say this — score +0.8 (natal +1.5 · dasha -0.6 · transit -0.1)
- natal +1.4 — In Sri Lanka's foundation chart the 2nd house (national wealth) is ruled by Mars, which sits in a neutral sign in the 11th house; Moon and Jupiter occupy the 2nd house itself. This is the permanent base for this area — a supportive one.
- transit -0.8 — Saturn (from the 5th house) aspects the 2nd house; Saturn (from the 5th house) aspects the 11th house while retrograde — Saturn brings pressure to the treasury, banking, the currency, national income and gains.
- transit +0.6 — Jupiter (from the 6th house) aspects the 2nd house — Jupiter brings support to the treasury, banking, the currency, national income and gains.
- dasha -0.4 — Mahadasha lord Mars (until 7 Feb 2023) rules the 2nd house and sits in the 11th house. In this chart Mars is neutral in function and in a neutral sign, so this mahadasha strains the area. (Mars stands for the military, police, accidents, fires and civil unrest.)
- dasha -0.2 — Antardasha lord Sun (until 7 Jul 2022) rules the 11th house. In this chart Sun is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this antardasha strains the area. (Sun stands for the head of state and the authority of the government.)
📈 Trade, Markets & Technology
MixedGoverns trade and commerce, the media, the technology sector and stock-market sentiment · Houses 3rd & 5th · Natural significators: Mercury, Rahu
Sentiment is changeable — rallies and sharp corrections can both occur, and trade or technology news cuts both ways. Volatility rather than a clear trend.
Why the charts say this — score -0.2 (natal +0.7 · dasha +0.0 · transit -0.9)
- transit -0.9 — Saturn transits the 5th house while retrograde — Saturn brings pressure to trade and commerce, the media, the technology sector and stock-market sentiment.
- natal +0.7 — In Sri Lanka's foundation chart the 5th house (creativity, youth and markets) is ruled by Saturn, which sits in a neutral sign in the 10th house; Mercury and Venus occupy the 5th house itself. This is the permanent base for this area — a supportive one.
🛡️ Defence, Security & Conflict
Strongly favourableGoverns the armed forces and police, border tensions, terrorism and internal security · Houses 6th & 8th · Natural significators: Mars
The security picture is calmer than usual: the forces are well-led and well-supplied, rivals are held in check and internal order is maintained with little drama.
Why the charts say this — score +2.5 (natal +0.2 · dasha -0.2 · transit +2.5)
- transit +1.5 — Jupiter transits the 6th house — Jupiter brings support to the armed forces and police, border tensions, terrorism and internal security.
- transit +0.4 — Mars transits the 6th house (87% of the month) — Mars brings support to the armed forces and police, border tensions, terrorism and internal security.
- transit +0.3 — Mercury transits the 8th house — Mercury brings support to the armed forces and police, border tensions, terrorism and internal security.
- transit +0.3 — Venus transits the 8th house (43% of the month) — Venus brings support to the armed forces and police, border tensions, terrorism and internal security.
- dasha -0.2 — Mahadasha lord Mars (until 7 Feb 2023) is a natural significator of this area. In this chart Mars is neutral in function and in a neutral sign, so this mahadasha strains the area. (Mars stands for the military, police, accidents, fires and civil unrest.)
🤝 Foreign Relations & Alliances
ChallengingGoverns treaties, allies, trade partners and open rivals · Houses 7th & 3rd · Natural significators: Venus, Mercury

Why the charts say this — score -1.3 (natal -0.1 · dasha -0.3 · transit -0.9)

- transit -0.5 — Saturn (from the 5th house) aspects the 7th house while retrograde — Saturn brings pressure to treaties, allies, trade partners and open rivals.
- dasha -0.3 — Mahadasha lord Mars (until 7 Feb 2023) rules the 7th house. In this chart Mars is neutral in function and in a neutral sign, so this mahadasha strains the area. (Mars stands for the military, police, accidents, fires and civil unrest.)
🏥 Public Health & Welfare
FavourableGoverns the health of the population, hospitals, disease outbreaks and welfare systems · Houses 6th & 1st · Natural significators: Moon, Saturn
Public health holds up well: outbreaks are contained, hospitals cope and welfare programmes reach people. Health-sector reforms and campaigns are better received.
Why the charts say this — score +1.1 (natal -0.0 · dasha -0.1 · transit +1.3)
- transit +1.5 — Jupiter transits the 6th house — Jupiter brings support to the health of the population, hospitals, disease outbreaks and welfare systems.

- dasha -0.1 — Pratyantardasha lord Ketu (until 15 Jun 2022) sits in the 1st house. In this chart Ketu is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this pratyantardasha strains the area. (Ketu stands for hidden forces, secrecy, separation and sudden natural events.)
👥 Society, Stability & Law and Order
ChallengingGoverns the mood of the masses, protests, the opposition and domestic peace · Houses 4th & 1st · Natural significators: Moon

⚖️ Justice, Religion & Education
MixedGoverns the courts, religious institutions, universities and national morale · Houses 9th & 5th · Natural significators: Jupiter

Sky events this month and what they touch
| Date | Event | What it touches in Sri Lanka |

| 3 Jun 2022 | Mercury turns direct | In the 8th house (crisis and hidden affairs): delayed matters of disasters, scandals, intelligence, public debt crises and sudden upheaval start moving again. |
| 5 Jun 2022 | Saturn turns retrograde | In the 5th house (creativity, youth and markets): matters of education, birth rate, entertainment, sport, speculation and stock markets slow down, get reviewed or return for a second look. |
| 14 Jun 2022 | Full Moon in Scorpio | In the 2nd house (national wealth): a peak or culmination — and sometimes open tension — around treasury, currency, banking, food supply and accumulated reserves. |
| 15 Jun 2022 | Sun enters Gemini | It moves into Sri Lanka's 9th house (law, religion and higher learning) — added pressure or sharper events around the judiciary, religion, universities and long-distance diplomacy. |
| 17 Jun 2022 | Venus enters Taurus | It moves into Sri Lanka's 8th house (crisis and hidden affairs) — a supportive influence on disasters, scandals, intelligence, public debt crises and sudden upheaval. |

The nation's running dasha
Vimshottari dasha counted from the national Moon (Scorpio, Anuradha). The Mahadasha sets the long theme, the Antardasha the current chapter, the Pratyantardasha the month-to-month tone.
Mahadasha — Mars (7 Feb 2016 → 7 Feb 2023). Mars stands for the military, police, accidents, fires and civil unrest. In Sri Lanka's chart it rules the 2nd and 7th houses (national wealth; foreign relations), sits in Leo (the 11th house) in a neutral sign, and is neutral in function for this chart. While this period runs, Mars's themes — the military, police, accidents, fires and civil unrest — are the ones that the sky's triggers switch on.
Antardasha — Sun (28 Feb 2022 → 7 Jul 2022). Sun stands for the head of state and the authority of the government. In Sri Lanka's chart it rules the 11th house (parliament, allies and national income), sits in Capricorn (the 4th house) in a neutral sign, and is functionally difficult for this chart. While this period runs, Sun's themes — the head of state and the authority of the government — are the ones that the sky's triggers switch on.
Pratyantardasha — Ketu (7 Jun 2022 → 15 Jun 2022). Ketu stands for hidden forces, secrecy, separation and sudden natural events. In Sri Lanka's chart it owns no house (a shadow planet that acts through its sign lord and conjunctions), sits in Libra (the 1st house) in a neutral sign, and is functionally difficult for this chart. While this period runs, Ketu's themes — hidden forces, secrecy, separation and sudden natural events — are the ones that the sky's triggers switch on.
Pratyantardasha periods inside this month: Mercury (20 May 2022 → 7 Jun 2022); Ketu (7 Jun 2022 → 15 Jun 2022); Venus (15 Jun 2022 → 6 Jul 2022).
Where the slow planets stand
♄ Saturn — Saturn is in Aquarius (retrograde), the 5th house (creativity, youth and markets) of Sri Lanka'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 Pisces, the 6th house (armed forces and public health). Jupiter expands and protects what it touches — military and police, disease, hospitals, labour disputes and national debt — and its glance falls on the 10th, 12th, 2nd houses as well.
☊ Rahu / ☋ Ketu — Rahu is in the 7th house (foreign relations) and Ketu in the 1st house (the nation and its people). The nodal axis brings foreign influence, shocks or obsession to treaties, allies, open enemies, war and trade partners, and detachment, loss or sudden endings to national character, vitality and public image.
Sade Sati of the nation — not running (the national Moon is in Scorpio; Saturn is in Aquarius).

The foundation chart — Independence
🇱🇰 Sri Lanka is a presidential republic whose economy leans on tea, apparel, tourism and remittances. Its foundation chart is cast for the Independence — 1948-02-04, 00:00 local time, Colombo — and rises in Libra, so Venus, lord of the Lagna, is the nation's ruler: it sits in Aquarius (the 5th house) in a neutral sign. The 10th-house (government) lord Moon sits in the 2nd house debilitated (weak). The Moon — the people — is in Scorpio in Anuradha nakshatra.
Planets under strain by sign: Moon (debilitated). 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 Colombo 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.
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.
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.
