Today, at 5:10 p.m., the United States turns two-hundred and forty-nine years old. Today, in the United States, we’re celebrating the Fourth of July, which is also our day of independence. Yes, we declared our independence from Britian, the aristocracy, and the rule of kings and queens. Say what you want about the United States, but we have a constitution and we as citizens are sovereign. We are free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
If you notice, the MC/IC axis connects the 1st degree of Libra and the 1st degree of Aries. That is also the markers for the spring and autumn equinox.
Aries, the sign naturally ruling the First House of Self, indicates that at the very core and most private part the chart, is us, America (the self). There is a certain amount of emphasis put on isolationism here and keeping ourselves out of conflicts and war with the rest of the world, or the other.
Libra, the sign naturally ruling the Seventh House (Others), indicates our never-ending desire to secure relationships to maintain peace, balance, and harmony.
The Sun lights up the Seventh House of Relationships and Known Enemies. On the 13th degree of Cancer, our Sun represents loyalty within loving relationships and intensity when dealing with known enemies. The 13th degree of Cancer is the Constellation, Canis Major, or the Great Dog.
A country of people who are freedom-loving and maintain the freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, is indicated by the Moon’s North Node in Sagittarius in the First House.
Happy Birthday America!
