In this article I have chosen to do an analysis of the horoscope of the United States in terms of economic, political and social trends. There is not universal agreement among astrologers as to what is the most valid chart for the United States. Some charts use the adoption of the articles of confederation, or the ratification of the Constitution, and other important historic dates as charts for the USA. It is not that only one of these charts can be correct and that all the others must be invalid. They each provide significant time slices or snapshots of the unfolding of American history from which future developments can be extrapolated. This applies to people as well if we consider the time of conception and the horoscope of the moment of death as also being important to the ongoing spiritual entity.

The most commonly used chart for the USA is the July 4, 1776 Gemini rising chart. This chart is calculated for 2:13 AM at Philadelphia Pennsylvania on July 4, 1776. This chart has 7 degrees of Gemini rising and 13 degrees of Aquarius on the midheaven. In my experience this chart definitely works in describing the US as a country and in providing accurate predictions and plausible astrological explanations of US history. This is the chart I will be using for the purposes of this report and in this report I will refer to it simply as the US horoscope or chart. The US horoscope does provide important information as to general economic and political conditions and trends.

This article is intended to be a summery of some important basic principles and methods of astrology. It is not my purpose here to elucidate every combination of astrological factors but rather to point out basic principles and techniques and give a few examples. A thorough analysis of every combination would be subject matter for a book.

I like to call Astrology the original Holographic Science. As far back as any kind of civilization can be traced in any part of the world some form of astrology is found. Where astrology originally began is lost in the mists of time. I personally suspect that astrology was first brought to Earth by the extraterrestrial beings that originally genetically engineered the human species as we presently know ourselves and seeded human civilization on planet Earth. Virtually all-traditional cultures of the world have mythologies and ancient traditions, which speak of interaction with and intervention from advanced beings that came from the heavens. There are records and stories of the so-called UFO phenomena from every century of history and every part of the world.

Chapter1
Precession of the Equinoxes

The winter solstice of 2012 or December 20, 2012 is the end of the Mayan Calendar. According to my understanding it is also the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. At that time the winter solstice will align with the plane of the Milky Way galaxy to which our solar system belongs. I believe this date is important for other reasons as well, having to do with the Pleiades and the Star Regales changing signs in the tropical zodiac due to the precession of the equinoxes.

To understand how this works it is first necessary to understand what precession of the equinoxes is and what causes it. First of all there are two zodiacs used in astrology. They are the tropical zodiac and the sidereal zodiac. Both zodiacs are arranged along the ecliptic which is the plane in space defined by the Earths orbit around the Sun. The tropical zodiac which is primarily used in western astrology divides the ecliptic into 12 signs of 30 degrees each referenced to the equinoxes and solstices. The sidereal zodiac which is primarily used in eastern astrology is made up of actual constellations of stars that are arranged along the ecliptic. A little over 2000 years ago these two zodiacs perfectly lined up together and the signs of the same name occupied the same positions on the ecliptic. Since then they have been drifting apart due to precession of the equinoxes.
