Hello, Seekers & Wayfinders! This article lets you look at American history with a secret cosmic clock known as the Quigley chart. Drawing from astrological directions and progressions, it reveals how planetary movements led to both great battles and new laws. If you find history dull, this view solves that problem by showing you the deep forces behind every major event, making America’s story clear and easy to follow. Did the stars predict the start of the Civil War? What did the planets say about the secret reason for Pearl Harbor? How did cosmic forces help sign the Constitution?

Dear Seeker and Wayfinder, here you’ll find the astrological work-out for the Rectified Quigley chart, by using Directions and Progressions that belong to these key moments in American History. For the Quigley chart I picked mainly the aspects when these events took place, since the rectified chart easily aligns with real events in the world.

This is a follow-up on my research between the Quigley USA Natal chart and the US Sibley chart (which is not the USA natal chart) as I have explained here.

You can find the Sibley Directions & Progressions here and the conclusions in this article.

Abbreviations: Sp = Secondary Progression, Pm = Primary Mundane Direction, Pz = Primary Zodiacal Direction, Pv = Primary van Dam Direction, Sa = Solar Arc Direction, Aa = Ascendant Arc Direction, Va = Vertex Arc Direction

The group (Uranus/Gemini) fights for freedom and independence through innovation/modernization of communication or actions (agreements). This can be an act to ratify a document (march in Gemini). It is a Sa Directorate, so the “renewed ratification” applies to social issues in your own country (1st house)

Moment 4: American Civil War 1861

Bloody conflict between the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy), mainly over the issue of slavery

Moment 4: April 12 1861 start of the Civil War

• 24 January 1861 Asc/11 opp Nep/4 Pz
  • Life in the nation in the midst of friends and like-minded people who actively want to make assertive and possibly aggressive progress for freedom and independence creates conflict/change with ideals in the interior for healthy cooperation. The need to act assertively/aggressively and decisively causes great internal confusion/disillusionment in one’s own life due to the concealment of hygiene and physical health or due to a lack of cooperation.
  • Explanation: Here, friends who want to be free and independent move actively/aggressively forward (warfare), but this causes disillusionment and disappointment at home. (as often happens in wars)

That easily goes hand in hand with profound changes in power and control of traditional authorities.
  • Explanation: Here we see a trine, which is usually associated with happiness and good things. I have indicated before that it is mainly about an “easy flow”. Here we see that the Benefic Jupiter in a trine to Pluto (Jupiter/Pluto combination can make things very big) heralds the start of the civil war.
