Date of the Declaration of Independence, considered by some astrologers as the chart of the U.S. The time has been open to debate for a number of years. The various charts are entered and numbered, in order that students of the dilemma may consider the historic documentation available along with the astrological symbology.Julian Armistead quotes Allan Nevins and Henry Steel Commager, "A Pocket History of the United States." It reads, "Richard Henry Lee moved a resolution of independence ... which Congress adopted on July 2nd and proclaimed on July 4, 1776." Armistead cross referenced this in the official 1778 printing of the Journals of Congress. He spent the next three years researching historic events and placed the sun at the midheaven of the chart, resulting in a birth time of 12:04 PM EST.
