How Does One Actually Do A Mundane Interpretation?

Mundane is a great deal more tedious than natal since instead of one soul reaching out in some direction, you have many, all trying to form one focused direction. This is quite complicated even if you don’t involve some understanding of the Geopolitical natures of the planet.

I have FIVE basic steps in determining a point of reference for a mundane explanation.

STEP ONE starts with actual natal start times of the planets for a corporate entity. If I am using a country I would prefer a time when the founding fathers actually put their John Hancock to paper, or corporately when they actually signed the by-laws. Using this, I determine the corporate/National chart. There are three sub steps for this:

a. Naibod Secondary Progression or Solar Arcs, or both. Here i am looking for broad themes which may come to fruition, and i am looking for 1 degree orb aspects to important Planets in the chart.

b. Minor progressions that support the secondary progression in some way, and again are exact to 1 degree orb.

c. Both progressions set the stage. Now I need something to ignite it. This would be a transit to either progressed planets exact to one degree, or an eclipse. Without this I have nothing to ignite the events. The transit needs to be a fast moving planet such as Mercury, Moon, Venus, or Lilith.

STEP TWO again looks for broad issues, and becomes step one if I don’t have a natal birthchart of the country I can trust. Here we are looking at the Solar INGRESS chart for Aries for the year, and the smaller(and dependent on the Aries chart--3 month ingress charts of Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.) I look at them as if they were unknown event charts using the precise rules of Event Horary. These charts can be saved, and also progressed---again looking at Solar Arcs, Secondary progressions, and then Minor Progressions, followed by a search for an ignition point.


STEP THREE breaks the themes down again in a LUNATION MAP or Lunar Cyle Chart. Here the start of the cycle is at the Sun/Moon Conjunction for each month, and then runs to the end of the month. This can be looked at also from an event Horary perspective. These charts can be saved, and also progressed--again looking at Solar Arcs, Secondary progressions, and then Minor Progressions, followed by a search for an ignition point.

STEP FOUR looks at each of the planetary cycles themselves for what the planet rules and is responsible for in a mundane sense. These charts are ongoing, and commence at the point that the planet moves northward by declination over the celestial equator and goes from 00S00 to 00N00. For example, current start point for this for Mars at Washington DC is 8:20 AM February 13, 2000. For Jupiter, its February 24, 1999, at 2:20 AM. This is the start of each of these cycles. To get some idea of the impact of mars at this time, one compares the current transits of only that planet to its natal chart, which is the time which it passed northward at 00 Aries. In this this chart, since you have a very very exact birth date, Arabic parts and solstice points and other measurements are usable. For example, one needs to look at the natal Arabic part of Peril, and note when the planet passes over it or makes a squared aspect to it.


FINALLY, STEP FIVE. Once I’ve looked at all the broad cycles and potential difficulties, I look at world leaders and their positions within these broad themes. If I started with the world leaders, then I wouldn’t understand what the broad themes are that are impacting the leaders.

As you can see, it can take some time. But at each stage I see broad issues, and specific issues in the case of planetary concerns, and then have to look to see if I can find an ignition trigger. All of this requires an ignition trigger up to step five. Sometimes the leader in step five becomes the ignition trigger itself.
