In Mundane Astrology, each zodiac sign represents a collective archetype — a symbolic energy that manifests in the psychology, culture, and destiny of nations.
The sign on a nation’s Ascendant, Sun, or Moon reveals its national temperament, style of governance, and social behavior.

Understanding how signs act on a collective level allows astrologers to describe not just what a country does, but how it behaves and evolves.

Collective Application

In a nation’s chart:

• Sun sign → core identity and leadership style
• Ascendant sign → national personality and public image
• Moon sign → the people’s emotional tone

When these signs align harmoniously, the nation thrives. When in conflict, internal division or instability emerges.
