The POTUSA chart, 30 April, 1789 New-York, New-York, 12.45 PM _LMT_ is supported by much more historical evidence of time than any of the 4 July 1776 charts, which have the DAY wrong to begin with, aside from being inadequately informed of the nature of what an Etat is, for which reasons they are to...

A few brief comments to add to this thread: Manilius states about dodecteamoria in II 693-695: Perspice nunc tenuem uisu pondere magnam et tantum Graio signari nomine passam dodecatemoria, in titulo signantia causas ='consider now a seemingly secondary question but weighty, which can only be defined...

I could quote some real idiocy from modern astrologers. But then again, I read in Ptolemy, Tetrabiblo s III.13.159 of my Mars opposite Saturn: "In the opposite positions he makes his subjects robbers, pirates, adulterators, submissive to disgraceful treatment, takers of base profits, godless, ...
