Not if we take a look at other potential "birthdays" of the US, such as the ratification of the Articles of Confederation in 1781 or the signing of the Constitution in 1787, which are equally valid as possible beginnings of our Republic. There is an entire field of Astrology known as Mundane, or Political Astrology, and by examining the charts of nations we can see what's going on just as we can by looking at the charts of individuals.
In Mundane Astrology we usually take a national chart as the moment when the current form of government came into being. The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, was more a consensus document declaring that 13 separate colonies agreed that they weren't going to live with certain oppressions any longer. It was not a document of a Federal Government in-the-becoming.
Today we'll revisit the article I wrote last year which offers more on this subject of the birthday of the United States of America. Apparently the charts of both the Articles and the Constitution have more dramatic associations through progressions and the significant events correlatiing to those progressions than the chart of July 4.
So for your perusal and consideration, a new look at Happy Birthday to the United States of America - Or is it?
