In the absence of state protection, development of national astrology was not only thwarted in India during past millenium, but practical methods of using many ancient astrological techniques were forgotten, and many incongruent novelties were adopted under foreign dominance which had not evolved on the basis of native theories. Many extant ancient texts contain sufficient material on national astrology, but most of the astrologers do not know how to use such materials and methods.
According to ancient Yamal Tantras, Puranas, Mahabharata, Suryasiddhanta and ancient Jain texts, Mt Meru is the centre of Cosmos and lies of mid point of Earth ; hence world's horoscope known as Jagat-lagna ought to be made from Mt Meru. Authors of Kali-Age have created a lot of confusion about the location of Mt Meru. Ancient texts say Mt Meru is situated on the Jamboo-dveepa at the mid point of Earth (ie, at the equator and not at Earth's centre as wrongly inferred by E Burgess ; a dveepa and a river like Jamboo-nada can reside only at the surface of the Earth and not within it), although many persons tried to find Mt Meru in the north ( just because Varaha Mihira said it was at North Pole, which actually implied Mt Meru should be regarded as astrological and not geographical North Pole while making world's horoscopes ). Even today Meru town can be seen at the foot of the highest mountain on equator in Africa called Jamboo-dveepa where countries like Zambia, Mu-zambique, Zimbabze, (and *Zambo > Congo , *Zambon > Gabon, etc) and river like Zambezi (< *Zambedi < *Zamboodi < Jamboo-nadi) are still found. This mountain was renamed as Mt Kenya by Britishers, although Kinyan-giri is situated south-westwards in Tanzania. Another mountain in Tanzania is also known as Mt Meru. Horoscope made from Mt Meru of the equator (Mt Kenya) at the juncture of transit of Suryasiddhantic Sun into sidereal Aries gives true results for the whole world. For it, mean planets must be computed with the help of beeja-samakaara in the manner of Suryasiddhantic almanac makers of ancient and mediaeval India (not recognized by E Burgess) and true planets must be computed according to original Suryasiddhantic method (whose real equations were not known to E Burgess ; if true planets and astrological houses are computed according to modern methods, predictive results will be wrong).
Topics of twelve houses (bhaavas of chalita) are being elucidated below ( a few statements below are controversial, but they are not used by the author in his forecasts, and were mentioned in the article merely to bring these controversial points into focus).
Lagna (ascendant) tells the overall condition of the whole world. If rate of economic growth is fast but lagna is bad then economic life of the masses will not be happy. If lagna is auspicious, then distribution of results of economic development will be egalitarian and stabilizing factors will be strong in the economy, even if net economic grown is not fast.
Second house gives a knowledge of rise or fall in the accumulated wealth of the nations. It informs us of money deposited in banks, currency in circulation, interest rates, condition of share markets, inflation, expansion of liquidity, gold stocks and foreign exchange reserves, tensions in economic system and feeling of economic security, net gains or losses from taxes on industry and trade.
Third house gives an idea of transport and its means, communications, means of distribution, migration, mutual interaction among countries, etc.
Fourth house gives a knowledge of natural wealth, agricultural lands and other means, crop production, land-tax, mining and mines, income from forests, housing and similar construction works, etc.
Royalties from publications, intellectual competence and economic policies of nations and companies for the sake of competition, etc should be judged from fifth house. Some people try to see capital markets, public money, income, resources, mining, share markets, national exchequer, etc from fifth house, but it is not proper to see any other department of economy in fifth house excepting intellectual wealth &c.
Sixth house should be used for judging national employment and its problems, strikes and other problems of labour unions, problems in national foodgrains supply systems, etc.
Seventh house is used for internal and foreign trade and related activities of nations.
Eighth house is for judging national debt. Some people see national debt from sixth house ( a moot point ) .
Ninth house should be used for visualizing distant travels, air travels and means, forces and strengths of industies and trade, telecommunications, infrastructural foundations of foreign trade and profits/losses from trade.
Industrial growth, political policies affecting industries and general economy, and income of ruling classes ought to be judged from tenth house.
National income, net gains from commerce and foreign trade, net outcome of export and import of foreign currencies, income from national taxes and other fees, growth of national exchequer, etc should be seen from eleventh house. Net essence of economy is income, which is judged from this house.
National expenses and government debt, rise or fall in military and civilian expenses, etc is seen from 12th house.
Economy is related to all twelve houses of the horoscope, but most important houses are of ncome (11th), wealth ( 2nd), karma ( 10th ) and land ( 4th ).

Annual predictions can be made from the horoscope made at the juncture of transit of Suryasiddhantic Sun into sidereal Aries. Suryasiddhantic Solar transits into sidereal lunar asterisms can be used to make horoscopes effecftive till Sun resides in that asterism (nakshatra). Similar horoscopes can be made at half a degree intervals of Suryasiddhantic Sun (eg, Sun at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2,... degrees), which will give forecasts at apprpximate intervals of 12 hours. ( Monthly horoscopes at Sun's entry into sidereal Suryasiddhantic signs (raashis) less effective, but horoscopes for true sidereal Sun at 90, 180 and 270 degrees are more important. Horoscopes at eclipses and full or new moons are also significant. )

( Vinay Jha adds :
1. some important details are missing in this brilliant article. When a horoscope is cast from Mt Meru, regions falling in a given house get the results accruing to that house. For instance, if a nation falls in 8th house and other factors affecting 8th house are also bad, that nation will be affected very badly, even if overall growth of the world is very good.
2. It is wrong to make India's national horoscope from New Delhi in 1947, because India existed before 1947 and before Delhi was founded. National horoscope of India is to be drawn from Vidishaa in the manner of world horoscope described above, which is the geographical centre of land between Indus and Brahmaputra upto Kamroop-Kamakhyaa as well as between Himalayas and the ocean. Horoscope from New Delhi should be made only for predicting the life of political parties and governments. Like Vidisha, there were six other astrological nodal points in other continents, besides the central nave at Mt Meru or Mt Kenya. But we cannot say where these six nodes are actually located.
3. Many chakras, like koorma and sarvatobhadra chakras, were also extensively used by ancients. )
