First, a note to young people and college students: George Washington and Abe Lincoln never met. Contrary to a prior post wherein I said they were good friends, well, I was wrong. In fact, George Washington never even heard of Abe Lincoln. That’s how little knowledge of American history some of these people who become president have.
Washington, supposedly our nation’s first president, was born under the sign Pisces. Now, why do I say supposedly? Well, there is a letter in the National Archives, from Washington to a man named John Hanson, congratulating him on being the first president: of Congress, under the Articles of Confederation. [This is a true fact.] But as we count George as the first president elected by the people themselves…er…excuse me, by the Electoral College…let’s look at his chart.
Among the many things I can say, I will say three: first, he has a striking Jupiter-Saturn opposition on the Aries Point (Jupiter in Libra, Saturn in Aries). This gave him two lifetimes in one: devoted war general and public servant and wealthy estate owner. There were probably many examples in his life of having two separate and seemingly unrelated lives.
Second is that he has a powerful cluster of planets in his 7th house, in particular a conjunction of Mars, Nessus and Eris. The latter two were not discovered, but give him stand-out distinction as an innovator and one determined to shake up the world in some way. Eris and a centaur planet are a bit of astrological crystal meth.
Third: he had a Capricorn Moon. So many notable world leaders through history have had this lunar placement that I dubbed it The Emperor’s Moon. The Cap Moon bestows political awareness and talent; and moreover, an aura of power. Caesar Augustus had this Moon and so did Hitler. It makes awesome revolutionaries who can, if they want, become part of the new order. In one of the four versions of his chart, Fidel Castro has this Moon as well (Castro’s birth date and year are in question.)
