Planetary alignment and the meaning of July 4th
I know…astrology? really?. Hear me out…
I’m not one that sees the world through the generic astrological charts of time, yet I do pay attention to the phenomenon that is astrology. Something that many people do not realize, astrology is the intricate mathematical study of planetary alignments. You can ignore it completely and live a very full life. I chose to learn from everything life has to offer. For me, I find specifics in astrology that are hard to deny. Generalities abound when you know very little about astrology. Your sun sign is that generality, and you will find that definitions are way too misleading. You actually have many aspects to your chart that have significant influence, melded together giving you an interesting picture of planetary influence.
Most of July is the month of Cancer, the crab, the tribal self. The planetary alignment of our country, if you use the event, July 4, 1776, 12 Midnight in Philadelphia, gives you 13 planetary alignments through a time continuum. As a planet with many water signs we are a sensitive, tribal nation that the world sees as petulant, immature, and spoiled. So, let’s look at the chart.
No surprise is the sun sign of Cancer, but also the strength of finding Mercury, Venus and Jupiter also in the house of Cancer. Lots of water signs that represent feminine energy within, tribal, familial energy, and a hard shell to protect that sensitive, loyal self that can be stubborn. I’m no expert, by any means, but I’ve learned a lot over the years by speaking to experts in the field, being surprised to find many that are very grounded, analytical, and more mathematician than spiritualist.
Something that is not talked about, in generic zodiac sun sign horoscopes, is the rising sign, which is how you are perceived to be, many times not reflecting your true inner self. For the United States of America, our birth of July 4, 1776, we are an Aries rising, fitting perfectly into how we are perceived as petulant, immature, and spoiled by the world, yet courageous and impulsive.
On this important celebration day of Liberty, and the deaths of two of our most important founders, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, let us remind ourselves,of our true inner sovereignty that reflects our collective human family that is unlike any other country. Let us celebrate our feminine wisdom at our core. We will prevail against the tyranny we face and rise above our history of inner struggles for liberty, equality, and responsibility to life and the pursuit of happiness.
Happy 4th America!
