🏛️ 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 -1.6 (natal -0.8 · dasha -0.3 · transit -0.5)
- transit -0.5 — Mars (from the 7th house) aspects the 10th house; Mars (from the 7th house) aspects the 1st house — Mars brings pressure to the head of state, the ruling party and cabinet, and the nation's prestige.
- natal -0.5 — In United States's foundation chart the 10th house (government and head of state) is ruled by Sun, which sits in a neutral sign in the 8th house. This is the permanent base for this area — a testing one.
- dasha -0.3 — Mahadasha lord Mars (until 19 Aug 2016) rules the 1st house. In this chart Mars is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this mahadasha strains the area. (Mars stands for the military, police, accidents, fires and civil unrest.)
💰 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 -0.7 (natal -0.3 · dasha -0.2 · transit -0.2)
- transit +0.6 — Jupiter (from the 8th house) aspects the 2nd house — Jupiter brings support to the treasury, banking, the currency, national income and gains.

- transit -0.3 — Mars (from the 7th house) aspects the 2nd house — Mars brings pressure to the treasury, banking, the currency, national income and gains.
- dasha -0.2 — Antardasha lord Mercury (until 15 Feb 2014) rules the 11th house. In this chart Mercury is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this antardasha strains the area. (Mercury stands for trade, media, communication, technology and young people.)
- dasha +0.0 — Pratyantardasha lord Venus (until 1 Jul 2013) is a natural significator of this area. In this chart Venus is neutral in function and in a neutral sign, so this pratyantardasha is neutral for the area. (Venus stands for diplomacy, culture, the arts and treaties.)
📈 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 +0.1 · dasha -0.3 · transit +0.0)
- natal +0.3 — In United States's foundation chart the 3rd house (communication, media and neighbours) is ruled by Saturn, which sits in a neutral sign in the 11th house; Ketu occupies the 3rd house itself. This is the permanent base for this area — a supportive one.
- dasha -0.3 — Antardasha lord Mercury (until 15 Feb 2014) is a natural significator of this area. In this chart Mercury is functionally difficult and in a neutral sign, so this antardasha strains the area. (Mercury stands for trade, media, communication, technology and young people.)
🛡️ Defence, Security & Conflict
MixedGoverns the armed forces and police, border tensions, terrorism and internal security · Houses 6th & 8th · Natural significators: Mars

Why the charts say this — score +0.0 (natal -0.3 · dasha -1.3 · transit +1.7)
- dasha -1.2 — Mahadasha lord Mars (until 19 Aug 2016) rules the 6th house and sits in the 8th house and is a natural significator of this area.

🤝 Foreign Relations & Alliances
ChallengingGoverns treaties, allies, trade partners and open rivals · Houses 7th & 3rd · Natural significators: Venus, Mercury

🏥 Public Health & Welfare
ChallengingGoverns the health of the population, hospitals, disease outbreaks and welfare systems · Houses 6th & 1st · Natural significators: Moon, Saturn

The nation's running dasha
Vimshottari dasha counted from the national Moon (Aquarius, Dhanishtha). The Mahadasha sets the long theme, the Antardasha the current chapter, the Pratyantardasha the month-to-month tone.
Mahadasha — Mars (19 Aug 2009 → 19 Aug 2016). Mars stands for the military, police, accidents, fires and civil unrest. In United States's chart it rules the 1st and 6th houses (the nation and its people; armed forces and public health), sits in Gemini (the 8th house) in a neutral sign, and is functionally difficult 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 — Mercury (19 Feb 2013 → 15 Feb 2014). Mercury stands for trade, media, communication, technology and young people. In United States's chart it rules the 8th and 11th houses (crisis and hidden affairs; parliament, allies and national income), sits in Cancer (the 9th house) in a neutral sign, and is functionally difficult for this chart. While this period runs, Mercury's themes — trade, media, communication, technology and young people — are the ones that the sky's triggers switch on.
Pratyantardasha — Venus (2 May 2013 → 1 Jul 2013). Venus stands for diplomacy, culture, the arts and treaties. In United States's chart it rules the 7th and 12th houses (foreign relations; losses and hidden enemies), sits in Gemini (the 8th house) in a neutral sign, and is neutral in function for this chart. While this period runs, Venus's themes — diplomacy, culture, the arts and treaties — are the ones that the sky's triggers switch on.
Pratyantardasha periods inside this month: Venus (2 May 2013 → 1 Jul 2013).
Where the slow planets stand
♄ Saturn — Saturn is in Libra (retrograde), the 12th house (losses and hidden enemies) of United States's chart. Saturn disciplines, delays and tests whatever a house governs — here that means foreign expenditure, espionage, prisons, hospitals and drains on the treasury. A dusthana placement: pressure is sharper but also forces long-needed reform.
♃ Jupiter — Jupiter is in Gemini, the 8th house (crisis and hidden affairs). Jupiter expands and protects what it touches — disasters, scandals, intelligence, public debt crises and sudden upheaval — and its glance falls on the 12th, 2nd, 4th houses as well.
☊ Rahu / ☋ Ketu — Rahu is in the 12th house (losses and hidden enemies) and Ketu in the 6th house (armed forces and public health). The nodal axis brings foreign influence, shocks or obsession to foreign expenditure, espionage, prisons, hospitals and drains on the treasury, and detachment, loss or sudden endings to military and police, disease, hospitals, labour disputes and national debt.
Sade Sati of the nation — not running (the national Moon is in Aquarius; Saturn is in Libra).

The foundation chart — Declaration of Independence (Sibley chart)
🇺🇸 United States is a federal presidential republic and the world's largest economy by nominal output, with deep capital markets and global military reach. Its foundation chart is cast for the Declaration of Independence (Sibley chart) — 1776-07-04, 17:10 local time, Philadelphia — and rises in Scorpio, so Mars, lord of the Lagna, is the nation's ruler: it sits in Gemini (the 8th house) in a neutral sign. The 10th-house (government) lord Sun sits in the 8th house in a neutral sign. The Moon — the people — is in Aquarius in Dhanishtha nakshatra.
Concentrations: Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Venus together in Gemini (the 8th 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 Philadelphia 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.
United States uses its Declaration of Independence (Sibley chart) chart (1776-07-04, 17:10, Philadelphia). 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.
