US Astrology and Politics

Insights Into Why US Politics Are So Conflicted

and How They MIGHT Even Be Cosmically Inspired for Promoting Healing

About Astrology Influencing the US

As we approach July 4, the birthday of the US (the US Birth Chart is included at the end of this article), I am focusing on sharing information annotated, with my interpretations, about how the

alignment of heavenly bodies in the US astrological chart influence a quintessential American way of being. My intent is to be sharing a cosmic approach to viewing the US and I want to begin by being clear that the intent is not to be promoting a point of view designed to influence picking sides. Who you vote for is up to you. I’m sharing and interpreting based on my particular perceptions of astrology cosmic facts. I welcome responses and input from readers.

Please send any and all comments to hattie@hattieparker.com. I will respond either through commentary in this column or in a

one-to-one in-person dialogue.

About Astrological Chart Reading Throughout History Astrology has a rich multicultural history. Mankind is reputed to have been consulting the stars since

the beginning of time. Recorded formal use of the stars as being relevant to how humans lived their lives is attributed to have originated in Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium B.C. It spread to India. It developed its Western form in Greek civilization during the Hellenistic period and entered Islamic culture as part of the Greek tradition and was returned to European culture through Arabic learning during the Middle Ages. Clearly Astrology is a discipline with a rich and broad depth of meaning.

Telescope observations that commenced in the early seventeenth century opened up new heavenly realms and thus significantly impacted changes in both astronomy and astrology. One such change came when we fast forward many hundreds of years to 1977 to a time when people in the western world had enough leisure time to be focused on contemplating the meaning of life. When using the powers of the telescope, astronomers discovered a heavenly body that was too small to be a planet but too big to be ignored and a new category of heavenly bodies called “planetoids” was initiated, This first planetoid discovery was given the name Chiron. The theme of the myth of Chiron is all about healing.

Chiron and Healing Show Up as Very Important in the US Astrology Chart

Chiron in the US Chart is in the 4 th House of being related to our deepest values. The Greek myth of Chiron is tale of a reversal of fortune. Chiron was granted immortality because he was such a great

healer. However, fate caused him to have a painful injury. Because he was so talented, he knew would never heal his injury. Accepting life on life’s terms, he, with humility, gave up being immortal in

order to end his suffering.

More About Chiron and US Astrology

Every year, at the time of a person’s or a county’s birthday, a chart known as a Solar Return Chart can be cast. (The 2024 US Solar Return chart is shared at the end of this article.) This chart is an overview of what to expect in a coming year. When casting a chart for the US on July 4, 2024 in Philadelphia Chiron is now at the very top of the chart. A planet at the top of the chart is a harbinger of what will be most important to the person or the country for the next 12 months.

Chiron is Understandably a Red Flag for Seeing More Conflict Ahead

In Greek mythology Chiron is a Centaur – half human and half animal. When looking in the mirror the Centaur sees his humanness and not his animal nature. With Chiron at the top of the US Solar Return Chart we can expect to see much of the already in process political blasts of hostility whereby

the waring members of opposition parties go out of their way to convince the public that the opposing party is animalistic and not human. Chiron in the Birth Chart of the US chart is in Aries the sign of war and conflict. This is yet a further indication that vicious fighting looms ahead.

Good News: Chiron Offering a Glimmer of Hope for Healing The heavenly body at the top of an astrology chart is called “the most elevated” planet and it reflects the highest values of the person or entity. That which is “elevated“ tends to be respected. Chiron is a

messenger of how healing happens. As reflected in his story ego needs are put aside or transcended so that life is accepted on life’s terms and peace comes through some effort to display humility. I was frankly shocked when I saw Chiron is the most elevated planet in the Solar Return astrology chart. In fact my imagination and hope regarding how healing might come to pass in the US during these times is totally perplexed. Yet, this gives me reason for hope that healing not chaos will be ahead for us. I

have long believed in the great truth in the phrase, “God works in strange ways.” And, for now, I will close with being happy to share this hopeful bit of Astro wisdom and the wish that HEALING will emerge out of the midst of all the conflict.

Current More Personal Astro Self-Care

On June 20 we will celebrate the Summer Solstice. This means the Sun will enter

Cancer, the sign of nurturing. This is a good time to affirm or reaffirm goals. The symbol of Cancer is the crab. The crab has a soft underbelly and a hard shell and pinchers to protect its underbelly from outside threats. If you live in Florida there is an anticipated summer of many hurricanes. This mean you will likely need to be more proactive in self-protection. A Cancerian time in the cosmic timing is a good time to mobilize self-protective instincts. A word to the wise: plan for staying safe
