Gary903 posted a current SLR for the Boyd Chart before the stock market crash in Oct 1929 which intrigued my mind. I have not done any work with the Boyd Chart, but I now see enough that I think we may need to pay more mundane attention to this Boyd Chart. To whet our mundane appetite, I will post a couple of SLR’s for the Boyd radical. July 6th, 1775, 11:00 AM, Philadelphia, Pa. 39N57, 75W10. http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Nation:_USA_No.6
Again, thanks Gary for bringing this Boyd Chart to my attention.
First, the mundo SLR for pre 9/11/2001, and it’s a dozy:
If the Boyd Chart is A very important radical moment in USA History, we don’t have long to wait to see a possible confirmation. Take a look at Boyd’s mundo July 2 2017 SLR.

Boyd’s SLR for Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Note partile 180 Moon-Sun, loose cnj of Moon-Saturn. Mundo Mercury partile cnj IC 1,28 cnj Pluto (eclipto). Mercury-Pluto is Bradley’s crisis aspect when found angular in return charts.
The Boyd chart, based on declaration of war, has always been strong for wars and violence. That's been perhaps its greatest strength IMHO.
I totally agree with your thoughts here Jim. Obviously, the destruction is seen in Boyd's Natal with Mundo Mars 02,14 cnj Asc, and Mundo Saturn 02,34 cnj Asc, offering a mundo partile Ma/Sa=Asc. What puzzles me, we see par-excellent symbolism with the SLR's but not the SSR's.

(An aside. I just saw the new Quote pattern, which has a lot more information including time stamp.)
Not sure. Return charts for national charts are flakey. Sometimes they are staggeringly good, sometimes dumb notes. Firebrace used them in his Wars in the Sidereal book and was pleased with them. Bradley by around 1970 still had no clear opinion of them, which I think came from their major inconsistency in reliability. With the U.S. chart, I've always felt transits and progressions were more trustworthy, and then I've been pleased when I saw a U.S. return chart that zinged an event.
Consider the U.S. chart (7/4/1776, shortly past noon) SSRs covering the dramatic year 1968. The July 8, 1967 chart misses all the Urans and Pluto of the era, through it does have the U.S. natal Mars-Neptune square closest to the angles. Moon is conjunct natal Mercury, which doesn't say much, and opposite Pluto, which does - starting with the Pueblo capture. Based mostly on natal planets on the angles, I think we see the Pueblo incident, the Vietnam acceleration, the start of heated campus and urban unrest, and the two assassinations - I can dig it out, it's all there "by the book" - it's just that the SSR doesn't "zing" in a really obvious way at first glance, as I'm used to.
Round the corner with the July 7, 1968 SSR and you suddenly have the Uranus-Pluto, plus Moon opposite natal Uranus across horizon. This was the summer that urban violence sored, it was intensely populist and in the street (Moon), and increasingly and radical. The two big assassinations of the year were behind us already, but the spirit of revolt kept growing - and, of course, this chart covered Nixon's election.
Going one more year, to the July 8 1969 SSR, we were just a few days before landing on the Moon. Jupiter and Uranus are conjoined near Dsc, and exactly square Mercury! This one really did catch the main flavor, even natal Venus exactly (14') square Asc - something we saw in ingresses for the space race as a signal of celebration.
So, sometimes they're great. Other times... they aren't.

Yes, I understand. Like I said, never paid any attention to Boyd's Chart, I think now, based on what I have seen, I will start noting the 'outstanding incidents' SLR for Boyd's Chart, adding as a low priority to the stack of charts for mundane purposes. The only thing that jumps into my mind for WHY do we see many hits with Boyd's SLR,s is Boyd's Moon is very close to a cardinal (Lib) Moon, but that is shooting from my hip, no research basis to support this WHY.
