Being no historian, and believing that certain political events may be seen as parts of a process, I've studied the Horoscopes shown, below, of the Republican Party; the two dates reveal in 1854 a time frame during which the Party was being founded. Notably, there are other founding Horoscopes for the Party as well but to include them here is beyond the scope of this brief post.
First, a sheepish mea culpa, dear reader!
For after spending the day studying and notating the charts, there's no time for typing much so basically you're on your own.
Yet hopefully, you can make out my scribbled astro-notes penned on the image, perhaps by enlarging and/or printing them if you must. If you do so, you may find some interesting tidbits. Then if you wonder about the authoritarian direction the Republican Party has taken in recent years, try focusing on the lower left chart for March 20, 1854.
As examples of this, I'll type a few additional notes about planetary aspects to the 18 South Eclipse of November 30, 1853, aspects which influenced the Party's founding (@8Sag33 in 3rd house).
Meanwhile, the midpoint pictures penned on the image are quite descriptive of the kind of "drastic measures" the GOP must depend on these days since their extremely unpopular policies can't win elections without their cheating, rigging, and intimidating. And as you see on March 20, 1854, Mars-Uranus = MC is particularly chilling. Plus, there's US 1776 Jupiter at Midheaven (Goal Point) at the "Game Birds Feathering Their Nests" degree! No surprise there, am I right?
So! The current crop of Republicans are a determined bunch, are they not? To me, they behave in similar fashion to the infamous members of the death cult of personality that forced destructive policies of suffering and death upon populations of the 1930s and 40s - until they were brought up short for being the viol*nt criminals they were.
March 20, 1854 6:30 pm LMT Ripon, WI: Three Aspects to its November 30, 1853 18 South Solar Eclipse with 18S themes of endings, partings, separation yet outcomes can be positive (paraphrasing B. Brady, Predictive Astrology #ad):
The Eclipse chart (not shown) reveals a Mars-Neptune opposition therefore --
1. Mars square Eclipse potentials: belligerence; improper use of force; rebellion; sexual abuses.
2. Neptune square Eclipse potentials: fraud, deception; use of fantasy; criminality; occultism (cultism.)
3. Uranus inconjunct Eclipse potentials: spiritually incorrect social attitudes; misguided activism; fanaticism; anarchists with the sole purpose to destroy. (R. Lineman).
Well, there you have them in their infancy. Have they changed in these 172 years? After all, we know that much has been made through the years with a variety of attempts to spruce up the public image of the G.rand O.ld P.arty. Yet as usual I shall leave it to you, dear reader, to decide for yourself.
Perhaps you noticed that quirkily, the Google uploader has decided to start working again for SO'W images! I only hope the miraculous cooperation continues. Thanks a bunch for reading, jc
