Year of three emperors (Germany)

[Jim Eshelman]

The German Empire had three separate emperors in 1888, due to the deaths of Wilhelm I and Frederick III on March 9 and June 15, respectively. The Capsolar for Berlin should be interesting...

In fact, the Capsolar is pretty boring. For Berlin, it does not have a single factor of interest besides a 3°36' Moon-Saturn mundane square (which, at least, is localized to the geographic vicinity and not universal).

Of greater interest - and covering both deaths - is the 1887 Cansolar, which flows through as the actual, effective Chart of the Year. It features:

Neptune sq. MC (0°33')
Mars on Asc (2°20')
Pluto on Asc (4°57')
-- Mars-Pluto conj. (2°37' in mundo)
Moon-Neptune conj. (1°04' in mundo)

It also has a 2° Sun-Saturn conjunction, which is tempting to site... but utterly middleground.

Overall, a reasonably good Year Chart for a curio year in German history.

An excellent example of 'flow-through.'
