A
Nation Divided: the United States
and the American People
By
Sare Van Orsdel
The United
States was born at 2:17 am EST, July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, PA.(from
Political Astrology by C. G. Carter and Sex and the Outer Planets by
Barbara Watters). Let's look briefly at history and what has brought
us a nation divided.
Under Emperor Charlemagne's rule, creating the European Civilization
chart in 800 AD, a classical Graeco/Roman civilization flourished and
produced philosophical truths, beauty, environmental mental awareness
and their own Gods/Goddesses. The conquering Roman Empire took Greek
slaves, absorbed their culture, and added strong governmental laws,
military might, and Gods of their own. The Christian influence birthed,
challenged Rome, and endured religious persecution. They established
a powerful Roman Catholic Church, forcing a partnership between church
and state. In 400 AD, Gothic hordes coming from the east, overran and
weakened a declining Roman Empire, destroyed Druids and other pagan
religions, ignored the logic of the Greeks, persecuted Christians, and
attacked Islamic believers. They ruthlessly raped, killed, enslaved,
and destroyed. God was War. In 804 AD, Charles the Great ravaged Europe
and gained control of lands from the Pyrenees to the Elbe, the Danube,
from the English Channel to the Mediterranean. He killed, took slaves,
and ruled with his own brand of law and justice. Untouched were the
British Isles, Spain, lower Italy, Sicily, Sardinia and the Scandinavian
countries. England, Scotland, Wales and Scandinavia strived to remain
pagan while Spain, Sardinia, and Sicily held to their Islamic beliefs.
Here you have the American heritage, an overall picture of chaos with
much war, slavery and killing, interpersed with strong law and often
deeply prejudiced religious laws, whether philosophical, Pagan, Christian
or Islamic. History was marking the DNA of the American people.
Five years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the
planet Uranus was discovered and it sat exactly on the ascendent of
the U.S. chart. The chart time had been selected by the signers, some
90 percent who were Freemasons and deeply involved in occult methods
of determination and had no idea that this powerful planet of revolution,
invention, and reform was to shape their country from the start.
