The Solar Eclipse that influences all US Presidential Elections

As you know, January 7, 1789 is the date that Congress required states to choose their electors for our country's first-ever presidential election. A month later on February 4th, George Washington was chosen by said state electors, then sworn into office on April 30, 1789 in New York City.

Of interest may be the Solar Eclipse Horoscope of the eclipse from the Saros Series in which these significant events occurred and were influenced by - the 7 North of November 27, 1788 @6Sag15, horoscope shown below.

Consequently, on that November day in 1788, fixed star Antares, a headstrong warrior star which can bestow honor (aka, The Watcher of the West) was 'eclipsed' which strengthens both the eclipse and the star. The eclipse degree's rounded-up Sabian Symbol of '7 Sagittarius' = "Cupid Knocking At the Door"; keyword: ALLUREMENT, which positively speaks of "enlarged experience," and negatively indicates: "self-exaltation and unbridled desire." Disagree if you wish, but to me this relates to America's vast appetite for such endeavors as territorial conquest and expansion, pursuing extreme wealth, plus, other indications of imperialism.

And with asteroid Cupido conjunct the Goal Point of the eclipse chart ('MC'), corporatism is on the agenda of our founding plutocrats (corporatism is what brought us to this continent, after all). Yet with corporate charters no longer expiring as they did in olden days, perhaps we can agree that the appetite of America's style of predatory corporatism has gotten completely out of control through the centuries like a parasite consuming its host. In fact, the much touted American consumerism has created a wealthy elite class but for the 99%, the Plutocratic path of exploitation of the masses has led We the People to a quagmire of loss and the tragic realization that what we're left with is an empty, so-called "American dream." Plutocrats made their fortunes off our backs, but now they're done with us like the corporatists in a badly written Ayn Rand novel.

Besides, they have better places to be than a hollowed out America - and fancy rocket ships to ride on!

So below is the 7 North Horoscope of November 27, 1788 which on a sublimal level, influences all US presidential elections, plus, a partial list of other instances of 7 North Eclipses is penned on: the initial 7 North of October 2/3, 1103 @15Lib29 (conjunct US 1776 Saturn), the 'Fascism Rising' Eclipse of February 24, 1933 @5Pisces28 (conjunct 1788 Saturn @4Pis34, 12th house), and the upcoming 7 North Eclipse arriving on April 20, 2023 @30Aries (Herr Adolf's "birthday eclipse" of 2023: a forewarning):

So am I attempting to implicate George Washington as a vintage version of a fascist or a Nazi from way back? Certainly not. But the repetition of 7 North Solar Eclipse themes of "very deep, long-hidden passion that takes people by surprise" and "lust" - to which I must add "blood lust" because of current actions and threats by thugs and barbarians of the Republican-Tr*mp Party - suggests that there are other ways to express 7 North themes, collectively or personally, than simply using primal violence against one's fellow citizens. For as with everything on Earth, motivation is the guiding factor for actions taken, and during our country's Revolutionary era, the presence of warmongering Antares conjunct the 7 North solar eclipse made sense for the purposes of gaining independence from Britain and establishing self-governance, a beacon of hope for the entire world.

But these days, their negative motivations turn seditious acts against the American people and the US government into treason committed by power-hungry hooligans with anti-societal intentions and overlaid with forms of fake "Christianity" that 'enjoys' a death cult mentality in which "blood lust" has gained an obsessive hold. And strangely enough, their deluded version of reality is a nightmarish dream for the rest of humanity.

An Updated Horoscope of the US Presidency

Jan 8, 2018 Update: thanks to Kate Plumb it has come to my attention that the updated horoscope set for 1:00 pm, below, does not reflect an accurate time that George Washington took the Oath of Office so here I post yet another updated horoscope set for the hour the Mount Vernon website Timeline gives for our first presidential Oath--2:00 pm LMT, which gives a natal Horoscope of the US Presidency. Hopefully this will be the final updated chart!

As we would expect, an hour's change results in a few differences between the horoscopes. Exs: the Hour belongs to Jupiter now instead of crusty old Saturn. South Node of the Moon (the tail of the dragon) no longer swipes the MC from the 10th house side for it has crossed the MC into the 9th house. Mercury and Venus are posited now in the 8th house rather than the 9th and the MC is now in Gemini instead of later Taurus and so is ruled by Mercury, chart-ruler of the Ascendant (now 13Vir27, not 1Vir37). This removes the interception of Gemini and Sagittarius across the 4/10 axis. The 3/9 cusps are in Taurus-Scorpio rather than Aries-Libra.

I leave the 1:00 pm chart, below, for comparison's sake, and simply add the updated 2:00 pm chart to the post. Naturally, the festivities in NYC began earlier that morning for it was basically an all-day event which makes the 1:00 pm chart viable. (Follow the link, above to check out the full Timeline). Most of the 1:00 pm chart's details remain the same such as chart-ruler Mercury applying only once, a conjunction with Venus, powerful Pluto in Aquarius leading a Locomotive shape, and the 7 North Prenatal Solar Eclipse of the event (and the Presidency) is in the 3rd house of Communications rather than the roots-oriented 4th. You may spot other changes as well.

Now here's the 2:00 pm LMT Oath of Office horoscope of the US Presidency which is titled, Inauguration 1789 to distinguish it in my files from the 1:00 pm chart:

Original post begins here:

April 30, 1789 1:00 pm LMT NYC:

A number of years ago I had found '12:45 pm LMT' as the timing of the first inauguration of George Washington (April 30, 1789 Wall Street, NYC) and 'went with it' for setting up a horoscope of the US Presidency. This was the time George Washington and his escorts arrived for the ceremony and the source I had used is no longer with me for it was stored on a pc that crashed years ago.

So today I'm finally getting around to publishing an updated version set for 1:00 pm LMT which is closer to the time the Father of Our Country took the very first Oath of Office on a Masonic Lodge Bible and (nervously) began delivering his Inaugural Address.

Note that in the '12:45 pm' chart, 29Leo arose which received the cosmic blink of The Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017 and which conjoined precisely the natal Ascendant of Mr. Trump. Please enlarge to read chart notes for little text concerning the Inauguration Horoscope of 1789 (the Natal Chart of the US Presidency) will be added here today. Yet we should note that President Washington's first natal planet to rise in this chart is Jupiter Rx @8Lib37 followed by his natal Pluto Rx @17Lib41, the natal degree of Donald Trump's 2nd house Jupiter Stationary Direct. (Jupiter-Pluto = plutocrats and large-scale projects.)

Additionally, for those who find value in Secondary Progressions for 'updating' a horoscope concerning its natal promise, the US Presidency is currently laboring within a Balsamic Lunar Phase (the 'dark of the moon' = endings, partings, separations) which, based on the horoscope you see here, began on October 7, 2015 with SP Moon @6Sco41. The US Presidency will experience the symbolic 'new beginnings' of an SP New Moon @25Sag16 on April 11, 2019 which was perhaps cosmically foreshadowed by the December 18, 2017 New Moon @26Sag31, a time of seeding, that was fulfilled by the New Year's Day Full Moon of January 1, 2018 @11Can37--falling as it did between US natal Jupiter (5:56) and Sun (13:19).

And although the natal horoscope of 1789, as you see, shows a Locomotive shape of the 'high-powered executive' demanding success (POTUS!) with out-of-bounds ('OOBs') Pluto as the engine (see chart notes on the 6th house Pluto in Aquarius), the SP New Moon horoscope of April 2019 shows Uranus Rx @9Leo06--conjunct Mr. Trump's natal Pluto 10:02--in SP 5th house of Speculation and Gambling--the maverick who now quirkily leads our national Locomotive to and fro for his own and his family's personal gain. And of course, Donald Trump's natal 10th house Uranus in Gemini is his oriental planet which guides his odd behavior via chaos and eccentricity as he disrupts America's traditional leadership roles domestically and across the globe.

Thus the rebellious blend of Uranus with Pluto suggests reforms and a subsequent 'new order' so apparently it is time for one to supplant the 'new world order' which began in 1776 with the rise of America as the New Atlantis. And as you see, the midpoint of the old order vs new order pair of Saturn and Uranus sits atop the Goal Point (MC) of the US Presidency's natal horoscope and forms a midpoint picture that Noel Tyl gives as: break away from the old, and/or, loss of self to the grip of controls - in 1776. Yet nowadays, Mr. Trump continues in his attempts to unravel the US Presidency, the US Constitution, our traditional checks and balances, the typical roles of the three branches of government, the US Justice System, our rights and freedoms, the National Treasury, our foreign alliances, and more. Yes, with Trump, US reliability is tossed out the White House window! And like abusers everywhere, his tactic is an attempt to separate our nation from all who could aid us against his overbearing authority! For the proposed border wall, a money pit, would shut us in more than shut others out.

But as I've noted in a previous post, perhaps we'll know more of what's in store for Mr. Trump and his chaotic leadership style around the time (or up to two weeks prior) that his Prenatal Solar Eclipse Series repeats on July 13, 2018 @21Cancer in the 2 Old North Series with its difficult themes of 'unfortunate news' and 'endings and partings' (Brady). For with a majority of Americans and others heartily unimpressed by Trump's 'styling' of the US Presidency, perhaps his 2 Old North PE be the trumpet call of a sad good-bye.

On the cuss'ed topic of Mr. Trump's 2 Old North PE, let's close with this from a previous post:

'{Manifesting} on July 13, 2018 {is} a Solar Eclipse @21Cancer in the 2 Old North series which is the Prenatal Eclipse (PE) series of quixotic Donald J. Trump, swamp-drainer extraordinaire (not!) His 2 Old North PE occurred on June May 30, 1946 @8Gemini conjunct US natal Uranus which suggest potentials for revolution, resistance, protests, unrest of the people due to his actions and rhetoric, upsets in the nation, a break for freedom, and/or violence.' Will the break for freedom be his own escape from the White House? A gal can dream, can't she?
