Wright Brothers' first flight
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2018 8:39 am
December 17, 1903, 10:35 AM, Kitty Hawk, NC
Orville Wright made the first successful powered intentional human flight 115 years ago today, travelling 120 feet. They quickly got better. From that moment, something new existed in the world.
It's rather delightful to see first flight occurring with a 0°06' Mercury-Venus sextile. More to the point of impact, though, is the 1°12' Sun-Uranus conjunction which, as Fagan pointed out years ago, occurred not only in Sagittarius but exactly on the Galactic Center. No planets were exactly angular (the Mars-Saturn conjunction, thankfully, having crossed Ascendant a while before.
Overall, the charts are quite good except for a horrid Week chart. The day charts are interesting - I wouldn't say wrong, but not what was expected. They seem to relate Neptune specifically to this event and there is a sense in which Neptune relates to the feeling of flight (one of the most common recurring dreams - swimming underwater as if a fish, or soaring in the sky as if a bird).

Something nice involving wings was going to happen here during the year!
