United States Natal Rectification In 1787 Ebenezer Sibly, a British astrologer, produced the first known horoscope of the United States. The natal time he used was near 5 p.m. on July 4, 1776 that for Philadelphia is within a minute of the Universal Time (UT) of 22 hours. While there are other times used by various astrologers, the Sibly time is the most commonly accepted time. Unfortunately there were some errors by the printer in the publication of the Sibly horoscope and several times between 4:50 and 5:14 p.m. LMT are often used. For a full discussion follow these links: Geoffrey Cornelius (includes links to the original artwork) and Lois Rodden. According to Cornelius the correct Sibly time is 4:52:41 p.m. LMT (21:53:17 UT). Late in 2002 results of a scan using the Natal Finder tool with 18 significant events were presented on this website. The Rectification Levels were calculated for a three hour scan of US natal times. With the 18 events, the peak in the Rectification Level is at 4:49 p.m. LMT (21:50 UT), i.e. only 3 minutes earlier then the time used by Sibly according to Cornelius!. This is the time that has been used to calculate the Meta Life Cycles charts for the US as Examples. The results have now (January 2003) been significantly extended in three ways. Twelve additional significant events have been added (see below), a full 24 hour Natal Finder scan has been done for July 4, 1776, and five other suggested non July 4, 1776 natal times have been scanned. All of the scans have been normalized to the same scale. The second highest Rectification Level of all of the scans is at 4:53 p.m. LMT (21:54 UT), i.e. only 1 minute after the time used by Sibly according to Cornelius! That the two scans come so close to the Sibly time is a testament to the quality of his work and the appropriateness of the events. Adding the twelve events changed the original scan result by four minutes. In general, the Natal Finder peaks will move slightly as good events are added or taken away. Note, peaks can move substantially if a significant fraction of poor events are used. United States Natal Finder Scans Following is a discussion of all of the natal times considered and the associated Natal Finder charts. The times suggested by a number of astrologers over the years are shown on the charts and listed below. The references for these natal times are given on Lois Rodden's website: http://www.astrodatabank.com/NM/USA.htm/. In the listing below the titles or names of the charts are placed in quotes, i.e. "title and/or name," to correspond to her listing. There are two additions, the work by Geoffrey Cornelius and this discussion. The times are indicated by the letters A-L and N.

Significant Events The 18 significant events in the initial Natal Finder scan included: the start of US involvement in all major wars, all major acquisitions of territories, all assassinations of Presidents and one special event, the landing on the Moon. To this list twelve additional significant events have been added for the three scans presented above for a total of 30 significant events. With this number of events, adding or removing a modest number of events has limited impact on the results. All of the events are at least a half year apart. The full list of 30 significant events follows with the twelve new additional events indicated with an asterisk. Start of Major Wars
Major Acquisitions Territories**
Assassinations of Presidents
Completion of Major Engineering/Scientific/Technology Enterprises
Special Events
* These are the additional twelve events added to the initial 18 events. See the discussion above. ** The acquisition of the Oregon Territory on June 15, 1846 is almost the same date as the start of the Mexican War. The acquisition of Hawaii on July 7, 1898 was close to the start of the Spanish American War. Consequently, these two dates were not used. |
