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. he 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

%URREN%Y STRENGTH
;It is the power of the state which is shown through the strength of the
currency. he authority is first vested in the +un/the second house and
then in the Moon. he 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 mooltri"ona sign in the tenth
house then we can see the tenth and third houses. a"en all these
factors together the real strength of the currency of a particular country
is identified.
6hen comparing the strength of the currency of one nation against
another, the e#change rate movement will depend upon the following
factors in the country chart2
<. *lanetary strength
=. ransit influences
>. ?perating 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.
8owever, 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.

tendencies of the ruling political leaders have tremendous impact on the
socio5economic life of people. As the eighth house rules belief of the
masses, the strong eighth house in the birth chart of the leaders helps
them to have mass support.
If there is no M sign in the I8, then B8 lord will be considered. And if
even the B8 does not contain an M sign, then the ninth house is
considered. 6here even the ninth house also does not contain an M

hose having strong >8 will be futuristic leaders and those with strong
C8 will be able to realise their ambition and future plans. In the absence
of M sign in these houses consider +un for being futuristic.

Mars in the horoscope of a nation defines its war mongering tendencies.
