Understanding Oath-Taking and Yearly Charts in Astrology

Oath-taking ceremonies and yearly charts play significant roles in astrology, offering insights into the governance and destiny of a nation. Now, in just about a month’s time, voting for general election 2024 will end and results will come on the 4th of June. A new government will be sworn in in the 2nd or 3rd week of June. You will see a flurry of astrologers with their analysis on the web. I will also be one of them.

Let’s delve into the process of how these charts are cast and what each house signifies.

Yearly Charts:

Yearly charts provide insights into the nation’s destiny for the upcoming year. Some important yearly charts that must be studied are Yugadi chart and the Mesha Sankranti Chart. These charts help predict trends and events for the year ahead, considering auspicious and inauspicious planetary placements. We should also look at the Ram Navami tithi pravesh chart along with these two charts.

Oath Taking Charts:

When analyzing an oath-taking ceremony, noting down of the precise timing is crucial. Note down the start and end times of the oath-taking, as well as the moment when the leader finishes signing the document. From this data, cast the horoscope. I hope to clarify. This is not about which political party will win and who will be the prime minister. This post is about what will happen once the new government is sworn and how will it perform in the due course of time.

The houses in horoscope can be used toexamine the following:

First House:

• Represents the ruler, their attitude, and the public’s confidence in them.
• Reflects the attitude of the masses
• Public health and overall wellness should be examined from this chart.

Second House:

• The 2nd house in this horoscope deals with the finances of the state, including the national budget, financial policy making of the government and the general attitude towards hard or expansive fiscal policy.
• Taxation and revenue of the government should be considered at from this house.
• The house also Indicates close confidants of the ruler and their relationship with the ruler. Are the confidants speaking the truth to the ruler, or are they giving false information- this can be judged from the 2nd house.
• This house governs mass media and how the government “talks” to the citizens should be considered from this house.

Third House:

• As in the Kala-purusha kundali, the 3rd house in an oath taking chart reflects the ruler’s strength, courage, and ability to make decisions. Impulsive decisions, or decisions taken after due diligence or even if decisions aren’t taken- all of this is judged from the 3rd house.
• The 3rd house governs public opinion, and communication with general populace.
• The 3rd house also governs transportation (railways, highways) etc and policy decisions regarding these areas.
• This house is also related to relations with neighboring countries.

Fourth House:

• This house governs agriculture, mines, and related fields.
• This house also governs environmental factors like rainfall. Now a government cannot control rainfall, but this rather denotes the luck the government will have in this area.
• This house reflects education policies and the investment the government will do on education.
• Cities and public infrastructure are also governed by the 4th house. Ease of living and ease of doing business is governed by the 4th house.

Fifth House:

• The 5th house represents the ruler’s intuition
• It also denotes good luck of the ruler and stock market of the region.

Sixth House:

• The 6th house deals with defense, wars, and national security.
• The 6th house governs public health and food supplies
• The fiscal policies of the government and debt is also goverened by the 6th house.

Seventh House:

• The 7th house governs trade relations with foreign countries and international affairs. Export/import policies are governed by the 7th house.
• While in the kalapurusha kundali, the 7th house is for the spouse, in case of oath taking or yearly chart, this house denotes opposition to the ruler, e.g., opposition parties, and critics. Remember that the opposition parties are not enemies of this government. The enemies, whether direct of visible or indirect enemies like terrorists, are indicated by the 6th house.

Eighth House:

• Longevitiy of the government is looked at from the 8th house. Hence, the 8th house reflects the longevity of the oath-taking chart and potential crises. As far a longevity of the government is concerned, the same principle of longevity calculation applies. Most of the oath taking charts take care of this already because good astrologers look at the panchanga, and remove any balarishta issues. However, the chosen time may still have madhyayu issues. This is the main reason why government fall in the middle.
• Since the 8th house is opposite of the 2nd house, this house also indicates financial matters, including scams, problems
• The 8th house governs natural calamities
• Science, technology, and successes in research are all governed by the 8th house.

Ninth House:

• Rules, policies, courts are all goverened by the 9th house that reflects the judiciary system, and law and order.
• The attitude towards dharma is also governed by the 9th house.
• The 9th house governs temples, religious institutions, and policy regulations in these areas.

Tenth House:

• The 10th house of the kalapurusha kundali refers to karma of the individual. In the oath taking or the yearly chart, every house reflects some part of work to be done by the government. In here, the 10th house explicitly reflect the status of the government. It reflects the mass appeal of the government and the ruler’s connection with the people.

Eleventh House:

• As expected, the 11th house feflects the government income and levies and taxes it imposes on the people.
• The fiscally reformist attitude is also governed by this house.

Twelfth House:

• The 12th house reflects similar attributes as in kalapurusha kundali for an individual.
• The house indicates government losses, expenditure, and subsidies that it pays.
• Financial scams are governed by the 12th house.
• The house governs hospitals and healthcare
• Since the 12th house of the kalapurusha kundali represents incarceration, the 12th house of the yearly and the oath taking chart indicates crime rates in the country and also the jails.

This is about the houses. The other part of the horoscope, i.e., the planets are also responsible for predictions. The planets should be seen as Sun, Saturn, Mars, Rahu/Ketu should be treated as separative and malefic planets. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter should considered as beneficial and adding good aspect to the horoscope. Additionally, the planets are given responsibility as compared to the kalapurusha kundali. These areas of responsibily are similar to planets in the corporate role, described in this blog.

Sun: President, Prime Minister, Ministers.

Moon: Common people and masses, women

Mars: Military and areas of military, weapon systems, defence and offence in war

Mercury: News media, social networks (Twitter/X, Facebook, etc.), advertisements given by the government, education systems

Jupiter: Judiciary, finance ministry, reserve bank, etc.

Venus: Stock market, judges (to a lesser extent), entertainment industry

Saturn: Common people, masses, workers, labourers (construction workers, helpers, masons, security guards)

Rahu/Ketu: Scams, terrorists and hidden enemies, criminals, black marketing, bribes, wars.
