Further insights into the rising degree of the SAMVA USA chart

[Guest guest]

Dear friends, Below is a table showing the years in which the various aspects were initially felt in the SAMVA USA chart. The table then shows the years the impact increased by each 10%. In my oppinion the aspect would have become quite noticeable in its impact when it reached 50% and more. These impact calculations should be viewed against major transits affecting the planets involved as well as their periods and sub-periods in the chart. Table: Evolution of asepct impact by year ASPECT Orb 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% L1 Moon - L10 Mars 2° 42' 1791 L8 Saturn - on - L2 Sun 3° 01' 1781 1806 L6 Jupiter - L1 Moon 3° 01' 1781 1806 L6 Jupiter - L10 Mars 5° 43' 1817 1842 1867 1892 1917 1942 Rahu - on - L4 Venus 6° 04' 1834 1859 1884 1909 1934 1959 ASPECT 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% L1 Moon - L10 Mars 1816 1841 1866 1891 1916 L8 Saturn - on - L2 Sun 1831 1856 1881 1906 1931 L6 Jupiter - L1 Moon 1831 1856 1881 1906 1931 L6 Jupiter - L10 Mars 1967 1992 2017 2042 2067 Rahu - on - L4 Venus 1984 2009 2034 2059 2084 For instance, the highly auspicious mutual opposition aspect between L1 Moon and L10 Mars had reached 50% of its strength around 1791 - only 8 years after the end of the revolutionary war. This suggests the nature of early America would have been quite energetic and impressive. By around 1806, two adverse aspects would have become increasingly felt, the three house aspect of L8 Saturn on L2 Sun and the

opposition aspect between f L6 Jupiter and L1 Moon. This would have given more obstacles and conflict, which is consistent with the War of 1812, the expansion west, the wars with the Indians, as well as the first assassination attempt on a US President in 1835. Around 1942, the energetic conjunction aspect of L6 Jupiter and L10 Mars is occurring around WW II when the identity of GI Joe was born. By 1959 the adverse five house aspect of Rahu to a weak and badly placed L4 Venus would have been felt by 50%. Further to this the aspects of the nodes to the houses would have been felt to around 50% in one of the following years for each ascending degree: 21° 00': 1817 20° 45': 1804 20° 30': 1792 20° 15': 1781 For earlier degrees, the impact in 1781 was already greater than 50%, or: 19° 45': 60% 19° 30':

65% 19° 15': 70% 19° 00': 75% In other words, this aspect of nodes to the even numbered houses is consistent with the civil war under the whole range of degrees considered. So that, perhaps, becomes a non-issue. What becomes interesting is that for the degrees closer to 21° the impact would have been felt to a significant degree around the year 1817 or slightly earlier. The underside of American history is the fact that relations of the white Christian Americans with the native Indians and black slaves were exploitative from early on. The settlers used slave labour stolen at gun point from Africa and eradicated native Indian settlements in the states lying on the Eastern seaboard. As a result, we could expect this aspect was strongly felt from 1781 onwards. This element alone suggests that the 20° 15' rising and below is more likely for this chart. Moroever,

this overview suggests the character of America, and the identity of the people, has evolved consistent with some positive and some negative aspects present at the birth of the country and then other aspects increasing in manifestation as time wore on, making the identy more complex as the American civilizational project advanced. It is perhaps no accident that many Americans have a nostalgia for life and culture even the politics of early America, when the pioneer spirit was a defining moment in American life, when the founders had insights into the human condition in terms of the suitable political arrangements that have been unrivaled in the history of mankind since. These were based on the auspicious placements and the less cluttered identity of the Americans as time wore on. Best wishes, Thor
