Mundane Astrology Framework: Lunar New Year Chart (Pratipada at Capital), Amavasya Yoga Afflicts Whichever House, Gandanta Lagna = National Instability, 10H vs 3H for Elections & War via 6th House
Mundane chart to use: Lunar New Year = exact moment of Pratipada (first tithi after Amavasya) cast at country's capital. Chart always has Amavasya Yoga by definition — observe which house Sun+Moon afflict. House significations in mundane: 1H = country itself; 3H = opposition parties + boldness + aggression; 6H = wars + military strength; 7H = foreign relations; 8H = sudden crises; 9H = national fortune + dharma; 10H = government + ruling party; 5H = national mood + stock market. Key rules: (1) Amavasya Yoga in mundane = wherever Sun+Moon fall = that area has problems during the year; (2) Kantaka Shastiamsa = "thorn" amsa; Sun or Moon in Kantaka = particularly afflicted; (3) Deep Gandanta lagna = major national instability during that year; (4) Strong 6H = war capacity; weak 6H lord = withdrawal from wars or bad military performance; (5) Elections: 10H (ruling party) vs 3H (opposition) — better placed = likely winner; if both weak = hung parliament/messy coalition. Divisional charts for mundane: Navamsha = foreign relations + blessings + national dharma; Dashamsha = politics + government stability + ruling vs opposition party; Trimshamsha = national suffering + evils plaguing the country; D16 = vehicle/auto industry. Industry karaka: Mars = karaka for mechanical/auto sector (take Mars as lagna for that sector's analysis).
"In a Lunar New Year chart, the Amavasya Yoga is always there by definition — Sun and Moon are very close. The question is which house it falls in. Whichever house they afflict is the area that will have problems during the year. For elections: the 10th house is the ruling party, the 3rd house is the opposition — whoever is better placed wins."
— P.V.R. Narasimha Rao
