What Is Mundane Astrology? Reading the Stars of Nations and the World
When people think of astrology, they usually picture a personal birth chart. But there is an older, broader branch, mundane astrology, that turns the same tools toward nations, world events and the collective.
The astrology of the world
Derived from the Latin mundus ("world"), mundane astrology studies large-scale cycles: the great planetary conjunctions, the ingress of slow planets like Saturn and Jupiter into new signs, eclipses, and the charts of nations and seasons. It is among the most ancient applications of Jyotish.
A note on responsibility
Mundane astrology is best used to understand mood and cycles, not to make sensational predictions about disasters or individuals. In this column we apply it only where a genuine astrological link exists, and always with care and humility.
The sky reflects the seasons of the world; it does not dictate them.
