Latest update- January 11, 2026
This pancocojams post presents some information about mundane astrology and an explanation about the Reliability code" that is used for the information is included in this post.
This post also presents a compilation of astrological information (Western) mundane astrology) about certain nations throughout the world.
Most of the nations in this compilation are featured because they have been in the news lately. Some other nations in this compilation were mentioned in the mundane astrology video that inspired me to research this information*. I added a few other nations because I was curious about their astrological placements.
https://www.astrotheme.com/astrology is the primary source that I used for the data about these featured nations. Other online sites were used when no information about a nation that I wanted to feature was available on that astrotheme site.
The astrotheme sites don't include a drawing of the mundane chart for any of those featured nations.
The link for Canada's mundane chart includes a drawing of that chart. It therefore provides an example of what I mean by a "drawing of a nation's mundane astrological chart". Charts for each of the other nations that are featured in this pancocojams post are probably found online.
This pancocojams post also doesn't include any explanations about the meanings of these astrological planets, signs, or degrees in mundane astrology or in people's natal (birth) charts. That information is found online.
The content of this post is presented for informational purposes.

Thanks to the https://www.astrotheme.com/astrology websites for their information and thanks to all those who are quoted in this post.
* Hat tip to Dan Waites, the host of World Astrology Report, January 7, 2026 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12VLVZKk5tQ "Trump, Venezuela & The 0° Aries Reset".
I happened upon that website on January 9, 2026 for the first time and was inspired to research the topic of the mundane astrological placements for certain countries because of the astrological chart for the founding of the USA and the astrological chart for the founding of Venezuela were presented in that video. I encourage all pancocojams visitors who are interested in astrology to visit that website.

INFORMATION ABOUT TROPICAL ASTROLOGY, SIDEREAL ASTROLOGY, AND VEDIC ASTROLOGY
This post provides some information about the astrological placements that are found in the charts of certain nations according to tropical astrology (i.e. "Western astrology")
As a partial introduction to that compilation, here's some information about sidereal, tropical and vedic astrology:
Source #1 from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_and_tropical_astrology
"In astrology, sidereal and tropical are terms that refer to
two different systems of ecliptic coordinates used to divide the ecliptic into
twelve "zodiac signs". Each sign is divided into 30 degrees, making a
total of 360 degrees.[1] The terms sidereal and tropical may also refer to two
different definitions of a year, applied in sidereal solar calendars or
tropical solar calendars.
While sidereal systems of astrology calculate twelve zodiac
signs based on the observable sky and thus account for the apparent backwards
movement of fixed stars of about 1 degree every 72 years from the perspective
of the Earth due to the Earth's axial precession, tropical systems consider 0
degrees of Aries as always coinciding with the March equinox (known as the
spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere) and define twelve zodiac signs from
this starting point, basing their definitions upon the seasons and not upon the
observable sky wherein the March equinox currently falls in Pisces due to the
Earth's axial precession.[2][3][4] These differences have caused sidereal and
tropical zodiac systems, which were aligned around 2,000 years ago when the
March equinox coincided with Aries in the observable sky, to drift apart over
the centuries.[5][6][7]"...

Source #2 from AI Overview (results given on January 10, 2026]
"Indian Vedic Astrology: Read Definition, Types & Origin
Vedic astrology (Jyotish) is an ancient Indian system of
astrology that uses the sidereal zodiac (based on actual constellation
positions) and considers planetary movements to understand karma, dharma
(life's purpose), and destiny, offering insights for spiritual growth and life
decisions, differing from Western astrology by accounting for Earth's
precession, which shifts sign dates. It maps planetary influences in 12 houses,
focusing heavily on the Moon sign, and uses complex systems like dashas (planetary
periods) for timing events.
Key Concepts & Differences
Sidereal vs. Tropical Zodiac: Vedic astrology uses the
Sidereal zodiac, aligned with the stars, while Western astrology uses the
Tropical zodiac, based on seasons.
Precession of the Equinoxes: Vedic astrology accounts for
the Earth's axial wobble, causing a significant shift (about 24 degrees) in
sign positions compared to Western astrology.
Karma & Dharma: A core focus is understanding your
karmic journey (past actions) and dharma (soul's purpose) to guide spiritual
development and achieve liberation (Moksha).
Houses: Like Western astrology, it uses 12 houses, but with
different interpretations for personality, relationships, career, and spiritual
path.
Planets & Signs: It features 9 planets (Navagrahas) and
12 zodiac signs (Rashis), with the Moon's sign (Janma Rashi) being central. "...

Ghana
AI Overview
..."Ghana gained
independence on March 6, 1957, at midnight, in Accra.
Using these details, an astrology chart calculator will
determine the precise positions of the Sun, Moon, and all planets in the zodiac
signs and houses, along with the Ascendant (Rising sign).
Key Astrological Placements for Ghana's Natal Chart
Based on the information above (March 6, 1957, midnight,
Accra, Ghana):
Sun Sign: The Sun would be in the tropical sign of Pisces
(around 14 degrees Pisces). In Western astrology, the Sun represents the core
self, purpose, and general character. This suggests a national character that
may be idealistic, compassionate, and possibly very connected to its spiritual
or emotional identity.”…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana
….At midnight on 6 March 1957, the Gold Coast, Ashanti, the Northern
Territories, and British Togoland were unified as one single independent
dominion within the British Commonwealth under the name Ghana. This was done
under the Ghana Independence Act 1957. The current flag of Ghana, consisting of
the colours red, gold, green, and a black star, dates back to this
unification.[45] On 1 July 1960, following the Ghanaian constitutional
referendum and Ghanaian presidential election, Nkrumah declared Ghana a republic
and assumed the presidency.[12][13][14][37] 6 March is the nation's
Independence Day, and 1 July is celebrated as Republic Day.[46][47]”

Thanks for visiting pancocojams.
Visitor comments are welcome.
I was curious about the mundane astrological chart for a Greenland. Here's most of the AI Overview write-up that I got when I asked that question on Google today (January 10, 2026:
ReplyDeleteGreenland-AI Overview
"There isn't one universally agreed-upon "natal" chart for Greenland because it's a territory, not a sovereign nation with a definitive founding date, but astrologically, countries are often linked to zodiac signs based on their discovery or declaration of self-rule, with some sources linking Scandinavia/Nordic areas like Greenland (and by extension, Denmark) to Pisces (ruling Scandinavia) or Cancer (linked to Nordic/cold regions), suggesting themes of deep roots, emotional connection to water/land, and perhaps a somewhat isolated, self-sufficient nature, though specific planetary placements would depend on an astrologer's chosen date (e.g., Danish autonomy, home rule).
Key Astrological Associations for Greenland (by extension/analogy):
Pisces: Often associated with Scandinavia (including Nordic regions) by some astrologers, suggesting themes of mystery, isolation, intuition, vastness (ice/sea), and spirituality, according to moonletter.co.uk.
Cancer: Sometimes linked to cold regions, islands, or areas with strong ties to the sea, fitting Greenland's geography, say Facebook posts.
Why it's tricky:
No Birth Certificate: Unlike people, countries don't have a single "birth" moment, so astrologers choose dates like independence, founding, or significant treaties.
Association, Not Direct Rule: Greenland's chart would likely draw from Danish astrological influences (as it's part of the Kingdom of Denmark) and its unique geography.)"...
The astrologer who shared information in the YouTube video World Astrology Report, January 7, 2026 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12VLVZKk5tQ "Trump, Venezuela & The 0° Aries Reset" pointed out that both the United States and Venezuela have their sun in Cancer since the USA's founding date is on July 4th and Venezuela's founding date is July 5th.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I didn't realize till I looked up the data for the nations that are featured in this compilation how many of these nations have a planet, Ascendant, or Midheaven in Cancer.
Besides, the USA (Sun: 13°19' Cancer) and Venezuela Sun (12°47' Cancer) here are the other nations in this compilation which have the sign Cancer in their chart:
-Australia- Ascendant 24°33' Cancer
-Canada -Sun 8°50' Cancer
-Ghana- Sun- Cancer [? degree)= for Ghana's Republic Day on July 1 (commemorating 1 July 1960, following the Ghanaian constitutional referendum and Ghanaian presidential election, Nkrumah declared Ghana a republic and assumed the presidency)
-India -Moon: 27°07' Cancer
-Jamaica- Midheaven 6°46' Cancer
-Nicaragua-Ascendant 0°00' Cancer
-Nigeria -Ascendant 0°49' Cancer
-Pakistan - Moon: 27°06' Cancer
-Russia - Moon: 5°32' Cancer
-Somalia- Sun: 9°03' Cancer
and
-United Kingdom- Moon: 19°27' Cancer & Midheaven 9°39' Cancer
This doesn't even count the placements in the charts of these nations that connect by sign/s and/or by degrees to Cancer or some other sign in other nation's charts (such as making a trine, or a sextile, or an opposition, or or a square). For instance, check out Russia's placements and Ukraine's placements....
DeleteRemember, I chose most of these nations on this list because they have been in the news lately or some years ago because of significant problematic or threatened problematic interactions with the USA...
This is heavy duty!
Here's a statement about mundane astrology of cities, states, and countries that I found while looking up the astrological chart for my adopted city Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:
ReplyDeletehttps://astromark.us/FREEelineState.pdf
Following is a listing of Sun signs for several countries, states, and cities. Be aware that some places will have more than one sun sign based upon differences in the data sources, political changes, and so
forth. For example, Portland, Oregon has at least two charts. Because of these common discrepancies in what is known as “mundane astrology,” the following data is provided to serve only as a general guide. It is likely that there will be errors here. There can be differences in the founding of a location, legal paperwork.
In the case of countries, there can be dates when a revolution started, when a new leader took over, or even when the new constitution was confirmed."...
As to the mundane chart for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, https://astromark.us/FREEelineState.pdf gives this information- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Sun Taurus, Moon Capricorn.
DeleteHowever, gives this information:

The astrotheme.com mundane chart fits better with my natal chart for Dec. 16, 1947 as (among other placements) my Sun 24°23' Sagittarius is almost an exact sextile* with Pittsburgh's Moon 24°53' Libra.
DeleteAlso, my Ascendant 19° 47' Virgo is in the same sign as Pittsburgh's Ascendant 11°01' Virgo and my Mars 4°44' Virgo is almost exactly square** Pittsburgh's Sun 4°59' Sagittarius.
I've had some good times and some difficult times in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Those difficulties have pushed me to grow and succeed in some ways.

*sextile ="In astrology, a sextile is a harmonious aspect (60° angle) between two planets, indicating an opportunity for cooperation and easy communication"...(AI Overview)
**square = "In astrology, a square aspect (90° apart) signifies tension, conflict, and challenges between planets, acting as internal friction that demands action and growth, like two forces pulling in different directions that must learn to compromise. It's a "hard aspect" that creates dynamic pressure, pushing individuals to overcome obstacles, often leading to significant personal development, ambition, and eventual success if managed constructively, rather than being a sign of inherent trouble."
