Boston Tea Party

[Jim Eshelman]

December 16, 1773, 7:00 PM Boston, MA (42N21'13'' 71W03'09'')
in response to the Tea Act of May 10,1773.

Open resistance began in September and October. The event spilled out of a public meeting led by Sam Adams. The dumping of tea into Boston Harbor took about three hours from about 7 to 10 PM.

The event occurred the night of a Sun-Saturn square shortly after Pluto set.

I just calculated the Arisolar Quotidian for this event - and it's a great chart!

The other charts (above) correctly reflect outrage, rebellion, etc. - plus one strong showing of a Moon-Jupiter aspect that is a signature of civil rights turning points and other events where people fight for (and often win) greater liberty and benefit for themselves and their groups or communities. The AriQ combines all this by putting awareness of suppression - a transiting Sun-Saturn square - right on top of a Moon-Jupiter square - right on the angles! Behold the chart that fired off everything latent in the Arisolar:

2°35' Pis - s Jupiter EP 1°04'
3°27' Sag - p Moon IC 1°14'
3°52' Sag - t Sun IC 0°53'
4°11' Vir - AriQ EP
4°14' Vir - t Saturn sq. MC 37'
4°51' Gem - AriQ MC

PS - The original Arisolar Ascendant was 4°44' Sagittarius. Transits to the Arisolar itself include the Sun-Saturn transiting square to its Asc, while transiting Pluto squares its Sun and MC.
