Best and toughest months for each area
| Area | Year | Best month | Toughest month | Why it is toughest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏛️ Government & Leadership | Challenging | August | March | A solar eclipse (28 Mar 1968) falls in Pisces, the 10th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| 💰 Economy & Public Finance | Favourable | July | November | Antardasha lord Moon (until 17 Sep 1969) rules the 2nd house. In this chart Moon is functionally benefic and in a neutral sign, so this antardasha supports the area. (Moon stands for the people, the public mood, food and water.) |
| 📈 Trade, Markets & Technology | Mixed | August | December | In Turkey's foundation chart the 3rd house (communication, media and neighbours) is ruled by Sun, which sits debilitated (weak) in the 5th house; Rahu occupies the 3rd house itself. This is the permanent base for this area — a testing one. |
| 🛡️ Defence, Security & Conflict | Favourable | December | April | Pratyantardasha lord Mars (until 9 May 1968) rules the 6th house and is a natural significator of this area. In this chart Mars is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this pratyantardasha strains the area. (Mars stands for the military, police, accidents, fires and civil unrest.) |
| 🤝 Foreign Relations & Alliances | Mixed | August | December | In Turkey's foundation chart the 7th house (foreign relations) is ruled by Jupiter, which sits in a neutral sign in the 6th house. This is the permanent base for this area — a testing one. |
| 🏥 Public Health & Welfare | Favourable | October | April | In Turkey's foundation chart the 6th house (armed forces and public health) is ruled by Mars, which sits in a neutral sign in the 4th house; Jupiter occupies the 6th house itself. This is the permanent base for this area — a supportive one. |
| 👥 Society, Stability & Law and Order | Mixed | October | April | A lunar eclipse (13 Apr 1968) falls in Virgo, the 4th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |
| ⚖️ Justice, Religion & Education | Mixed | March | December | Mahadasha lord Saturn (until 15 Mar 1976) rules the 9th house and sits in the 5th house. In this chart Saturn is functionally difficult and exalted (at its strongest), so this mahadasha strains the area. (Saturn stands for labour, democracy, infrastructure, chronic problems and the country's endurance.) |
| 🌦️ Climate, Agriculture & Natural Events | Challenging | December | April | A lunar eclipse (13 Apr 1968) falls in Virgo, the 4th house of this chart — eclipses on a governing house unsettle the area for weeks around the date. |

Annual charts — 1968
Cast for Ankara (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?
Turkey uses its Proclamation of the Republic chart (1923-10-29, 20:30, Ankara). 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.
