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.
