MUNDANE ASTROLOGY"

Mundane Vedic Astrology is the branch of Vedic Astrology that deals with the planetary influences
through signs and planetary periods in the charts of nations, cities, organizations, corporations,
business organizations, etc. etc. It covers objectives and goals of nations, their wealth, political
stability, financial position, development, relationship with other countries/nations, natural
calamities, public health, infrastructure development, national income, spiritual pursuits followed
by its people, etc. etc. The impacts are seen through the houses which govern certain specific
aspects of national life/organization life; through the signs which show the level of influence; and
the planets which show their results through their placement in the chart, their strength, their
functional nature and their relationship with other planets/houses through conjunctions and
aspects. All the planetary influences are seen, particularly those resulting from close
conjunction/aspect to other planets and/or most effective points of the various houses and those
resulting from the mooltrikona signs of various planets falling in various houses. The planetary
influences for the countries are also seen through the charts of the rulers/chief political executives
at different points of time in the life of a nation. In fact the charts of nations and the charts of the
rulers/chief political executives work in consonance with each other.
The various houses in a nation's chart represent the following aspects of a nation's life:
First House
The general conditions of the country as a whole, people and their general outlook, state of law
and order, public health, government, reputation, valor and its position in the world.

and with neighbors. It also rules the purchasing power of the people, financial stability, national
income, strength of currency, budget and balance of trade.

communications in the country including transport, media, telecommunications and information
technology. It governs the authors, philosophers, philosophical thought, literature and literary

seventh houses.

lord of the eighth or twelfth house. Mars acts as significator for the third and tenth houses.

systems. It acts as significator for the ninth house.

CURRENCY STRENGTH
It is the power of the state which is shown through the strength of the currency. The authority is
first vested in the Sun/the second house and then in the Moon. The good financial strength of the
nation/wealth is seen through the second house and the regular flow of income is seen through
the eleventh house. If there is no mooltrikona sign in the tenth house then we can see the tenth
and third houses. Taken all these factors together the real strength of the currency of a particular
country is identified.
When comparing the strength of the currency of one nation against another, the exchange rate
movement will depend upon the following factors in the country chart:
1. Planetary strength
2. Transit influences
3. Operating sub periods
A further nuance is that the entire chart must be seen as a complete entity in these three
considerations and no just a single element. However, it is helpful to consider the indicators of
currency strength for an assessment of the potential strength and resilience of each currency and
also any long lived transit influences on them.

RULE FOR IDENTIFYING DICTATORSHIP
In the mundane chart look for

as prime influence:
L1, L10 or L3 in H3
or the lord of 3H influencing the 1H or 10H especially if it happens to be the Sun or Mars
as additional influence:
L6 in H1, H3 or H4
With the increasing democratic values world-wide while the dictatorships may not be possible
easily in future but assertive and authoritarian leaders are likely to be emerging. The authoritarian
tendencies of the ruling political leaders have tremendous impact on the socio-economic life of
people.
