Testing the USA chart with Solar Arc directions

Post by Jim Eshelman »

The best chart for the Declaration of Independence (which usually has been the best natal chart for the U.S. as a whole, though other charts seen to reflect individual functions) is for July 4, 1776, 12:10:43 PM LAT, at Independence Hall in Philadelphia 39N56'56" 75W09'00".

The timing to seconds is based on Llewellyn George's final rectification. Times in the 12:10 to 12:11 range (LAT) have performed exceptionally well by transit and secondary progression over the years.

In this thread, I will list data that I don't think has been applied historically, the most important solar arcs of this chart. I may not draw any conclusions and may simply leave this here as a tool for others to pursue. I will follow the rules that have seemed to emerge here over the last few years, requiring that a direction involve an angle or luminary (as either the directing or natal planet). I will only show conjunctions, oppositions, and squares. These seem to have been the characteristics that identify the most significant events in personal lives.

For precision of the chart, we are especially interested in the angles. For validating the technique as a whole, we want all the aspects (remembering, though, that directed Sun aspects are also secondary progressed Sun aspects). I mostly list the Sun and Moon contacts, though, to distinguish influences nearby those involving angles, since Sun is so close to the angles. We anticipate an orb of 1°00' - marking about a two-year period centered on the date given - though more significant within 0°30' and often timing very close to the exact date given.

(This is not a conclusive opinion.) I am not impressed with the spot checks I did from a catalogue of events on hand. The contacts aren't usually that clear. The number of critical historic events missed is huge.

This opinion may change if someone takes a more comprehensive list of U.S. historic dates and documents a connection.

Re: Testing the USA chart with Solar Arc directions

Post by SteveS »

If this Prez election is contested/undecided and causes some kind of constitutional crises or widespread destructive riots, it will confirm to me this timed USA Chart is correct using 3 of the 6 Jayne directional arcs. Because we have a tremendous amount of clustered very malefic arc directions that just so happens to fall on election date is somewhat suspicious, but could just be a coincidence. Here are the malefic directional arcs in play for this Prez election, starting with the standard proven Solar Arcs.
1:Standard Solar Arcs Nov 5 2024 11:59 PM CST:
d Saturn 29,53 Tau
r Mars 29,37 Tau
d MC 00,42 Pi
r Neptune 00,47 Vir
d Vx 21,02 Sag
r Sun 21,30 Gem
• The Vx-Sun arc could be symbolizing a fated incident to do with one of the candidates for President.
2: Jayne’s Vertex Arcs:
d Mars 23,01 Sag
d Neptune 24,12 Pi
r Saturn 23,10 Vir
r MC 23,59 Pi
3: Jayne’s Ascendant Arcs:
d MC 23,01 Pi
d Saturn 22,12 Gem
r Saturn 23,10 Virgo
r MC 23,59 Gem
d Sun 20,32 PI
r Sun 21,30 Gem
d Neptune 29,49 Tau
r Mars 29,37 Tau
r Neptune 00,47 Vir
d Mars 28,38 Aqu
d Pluto 00,47 Lib
r Pluto 05,58 Cap

Remember, we are only using Jayne's 3 of his 6 directional arcs used in his work, the other 3 being "Declination" arcs used for the same above 3 types of arcs. We have no software which can calculate "Declination Arcs" which was actually Jayne's favorite to work with in his massive rectification work he did in his astrological career. But, this piece of directional arc analysis used for this election day really means nothing unless there is a major controversal/malefic event associated with this Election.

Unless I am not understanding something mathematically, these 3 different sets of arcs calculated with different mathematically sets of numbers, are mind blowing to calculate a-lot of the same type malefic planetary/angular symbolism using only the 0, 90, 180 aspect.

Yes V, go back to the first post by Jim in this topic, and note the exact chart details Jim is using. I will double check but Jim’s Chart is the one I think I used for these directions I posted. I am away from my computers but will check again when I get home.

Thanks Steve.
I do see the natal Mars in aspect to the SA MC.

Jim should this date be included in your lists?
I have been plugging away at sorting this list to make it easier to work with, sorting out for example all the Solar aspects from Lunar aspects, or MC aspects from AC aspects to try and give some perspective and see any themes for these dates.

Oh I gotcha on that.
Your initial post here with the Nov 5th date didn’t jump out at me as a date Jim listed initially so I needed clarification as to what time you ran. I had just been exploring the data here, felt it was better for me to sort it into cycles to see if I could make better heads and tales of the potential meanings of Solar Arcs.

I understand V. Solar Arcs and other Arc types discovered by Charles Jayne are very reliable prediction cycles, only when you have a very accurate timed radical chart. As you can see with all the malefic Arcs I listed above which are ganging-up on Nov 5th Election Date, I want to test em for a possible malefic storm with this Prez Election.

Well Steve with the absolute lack of showing for Venus and Jupiter it certainly seems like what Americans are feeling is very ill, some with a virus and some with a bacteria, those true arch enemies of eukaryotic beings. I suppose I shall start self medicating with lotsa roses and garlic. As a human being, an evolved eukaryotic being, I can do things like make a choice in how I behave.

Seems like other sites are using a time later in the day, after they had worked during the day and came out to "declare" to the people after everything is written and agreed upon... but then again it wasn't signed until August 2nd ... right?

People are using a time around 5 pm for July 4th. Astrotheme says 16.50 and astro.com says 17.10. These angles will be quite different from this chart at noon.

I wonder what it would be for August 2nd.

Further info;
Only a few delegates signed on July 4th.
The majority signed on Aug 2nd.
https://declaration.fas.harvard.edu/blog/signing

The Harvard article is worth reading.

So, when was the Declaration of Independence signed?

Spoiler: NOT ON JULY 4TH.*

So far with most of my tests for this USA chart, it does not prove to me we have a valid USA chart, and I think Jim's past historic tests are telling him the same. What I am doing with the Solar Arcs and Jayne's Vertex & Asc Arcs is testing further this USA chart. If nothing very malefic happens with this Prez Election, it will help further confirm to me we may not have the true USA chart discussed in this topic.

Actually, Steve, that's not my conclusion. This is a fabulously responsive chart.

I have no idea whether it is responsive to solar arcs: I merely compiled the list for others to check (and we don't know if we can expect it to be responsive to directions).

Also, it was never intended to be for the signing, but for the decision to adopt it. Or, rather, it is based on responsiveness to events and then it was discovered that what happened at that moment is that they broke for lunch after voting to adopt it. An 1851 issue of Harper's (celebrating the 75rth anniversary) reported:
At a little past meridian on the Fourth of July 1776, a unanimous vote of the thirteen colonies was gien in favor of declaring themselves free and independent states.

Please read the article from Harvard, both of you.
Signing is a good measurement for when something has indeed become an event.

When we get married, it isn't when we decide to do it or propose that an event chart gets created, it is when the formal wedding and signing papers are done. Same with buying a house. Same with most anything. It isn't until majority signs that it is actualized.

That's a theory. (A popular one.) But it's just a theory. This chart is solidly confirmed by major events (especially transits and progressions for precision timing) and also describes the character of the nation and it's people brilliantly.

Jim, I don't see this timed USA Chart responsive to Solar Arcs and in my studies Solar Arcs are should pick-off major life events with an accurate timed chart, but maybe you are right and mundane charts are just not responsive to Solar Arcs with major events, which seems strange to me. I think most of your work with this chart with events has been with secondary progression which if memory serves me has proven itself.

People are using a time around 5 pm for July 4th. Astrotheme says 16.50 and astro.com says 17.10. These angles will be quite different from this chart at noon.

I wonder what it would be for August 2nd.

What an interesting theory Arena, it is of course easy to see you as a cancer resonating more with another Cancer Sun sign. It is so hard to remove our own natural synastry biasis from these sort of things isnt it.
You dont have "good" synastry with the USA chart which comes off in most of your posts on the subject readily.
My father was a history teacher for years so I'm very familiar with this information you presented, so it's not shocking that all to me. I guess you'd really just have to live here to feel out the difference, but we are most definitely a Gemini sun country, built to have to right to conduct our commerce, and could give a hoot about being queen bee on the world stage.
Steve, I think these SA actually are very discript of our countries unfolding character. I'm working on separating this list out and correlating the data better with historical events but If you take the time to look at for an example the SA hits of only Venus to Angles, and it progress over time, our countries Birthday showsvery strongly as the true chart of the formation of a new country.

You're funny V.
This Harvard article has nothing to do with my own chart or my synastry with anything. Not at all. It's possible to find synastry with both charts. I simply find it very interesting and the fact is that the declaration wasn't fully signed until this date. Country charts are a bit difficult to deal with precisely because of this - if it isn't totally clear when a declaration is signed, then the chart isn't clear either.

This will be a great test for these two glaring Secondary Progressed Neptune aspects below-- calculated to Nov 5 2024 for this USA Chart, they are so precise for the immediate environment for this Prez Election. Secondary Progressed MC at 00,42 Pi 180 to r Neptune at 00,47 Virgo is actually a major “Life Development” Solar Arc hit. Time will soon tell if this double whammy of Neptune is going to manifest for Prez Election 2024.

Times in the 12:10 to 12:11 range (LAT) have performed exceptionally well by transit and secondary progression over the years. For precision of the chart, we are especially interested in the angles.

Not sure exactly what you are asking Arena. Both Jim and I with our tests are not overly impressed with solar arc hits to this chart which perplexes me somewhat, but we have a great test coming up with this 2024 Prez Election a Solar Arc MC Neptune hit. I have already listed all the arc hits (including Jayne’s Asc & Vx arcs) involved with the election. Understand the secondary progression of MC 180 r Neptune is actually a Solar Arc MC because the standard progression method most astrologers use for progressed MC is:

“Sec Prog SA in Long”
