Tweaking the USA Gemini Rising Symbolic Chart

For many years my favorite chart for forecasting regarding the USA has been the Gemini rising chart with the 8th degree of Gemini rising. In the 19th century the British-American astrologer Luke Dennis Broughton (1828 – 1898) taught that the USA fell under the sign Gemini. Around the end of the 19th century some U.S. astrologers began experimenting with a USA chart that had roughly 7 Gemini 35 rising, which was the chart popularized by Elbert Benjamine of the Brotherhood of Light.

During my early days in astrology one of my favorite astrologers, Don Jacobs, and his son Jayj used historical events to validate the 7 Gemini 35 chart with a “birth time” of about 2:14:14 AM LMT in Phildelphia on July 4, 1776. There is another popular chart reported by Carolyn Dodson with 7 Gemini 14 rising (time 2:13 AM LMT). Back in 2013 I used the Boston Massacre to tweak the time of this chart slightly to about 2:13:43 AM LMT. Here is my “rectified” USA chart with Regiomontanus houses.

It occurred to me that a further check on this chart would be the current pandemic, which I thought would be reflected in the superimposition of of the December 26, 2019 Solar Eclipse chart onto the Gemini rising chart. Here is the Gemini rising chart with the December 26, 2019 eclipse superimposed.

[image error]Note that the Solar Eclipse of December 26, 2019 fall exactly on the 8th Regiomontanus cusp of the Gemini rising USA chart, suggesting a period of massive death. This eclipse also opposes the “natal” Venus-Jupiter conjunction on the 2nd cusp of the USA chart, suggesting a financial downturn. In addition, Venus rules the 6th Regiomontanus cusp of disease in the USA chart. Also, transiting Venus in the eclipse chart falls on the lunar nodal axis of the USA chart.

Finally, here is the eclipse chart as a stand-alone figure set for Philadelphia:

[image error]In the eclipse chart set for Philadelphia there is a close conjunction of Sun-Moon-Jupiter-Ketu on the I.C., with Jupiter in the sign of its Fall and ruling the 6th house of disease. In the superimposed charts diagram this conjunction falls on the 8th Regiomontaus cusp of the USA Gemini rising chart, suggesting a disease outbreak with a high mortality in the population.
