Hoover Inauguration Mar 4, 1929
President Herbert Hoover was inagurated March 4, 1933, Washington DC. Here you see the chart set for noon (exact time unknown.) Noon that day was during a Venus Hour, Venus 27Ari30 in 11th house. Moon is chart-ruler 27Sag05, 6th house, conj Saturn…depressive.
The feature that jumps out is the Kite pattern with Mars, the Ascendant, and Venus-Neptune midpoint at the tip, and the Moon-Saturn conjunction as the tail.
You see the ‘PE’ (the Pre-Natal Eclipse degree) in 5th house of Gambling-Risk-taking, 19Sco47 (the ‘accursed sign’ at the ‘accursed degree’ in tradition.)
This Solar Eclipse occurred Nov 12, 1928 in the 2 South Series – the PE of the first term of George W. Bush.
Brady’s ‘Predictive Astrology’ gives the 2S Series as being concerned with unusual groups and the individual’s involvement in such groups; there is a sudden desire to join a particular group – healing, the arts, or love of humanity – and one feels that through this involvement he or she will gain a great deal.
2 South is also the PE of Noam Chomsky and Woodrow Wilson (natally.)
Asteroid Pallas (strategy) is conj Midheaven along with America’s natal Ceres (security issues) and Pluto/Chiron midpoint. The plutocratic, oppressive Pluto/Chiron midpoint in 1929 is at 11Gem26 (12th house of this chart) which is conj the Descendant in America’s natal chart (Sibly version) suggesting a powerful group’s interference or opposition.
As you know, US presidential inaugurations were once held on March 4 giving ‘the leader’ – the Sun – a 13Pis+ position, with 00Can+ rising, a World Point. The switch to Jan 20 occurred with FDR in 1937, for his second inauguration. His first was held March 4, 1933.
