In short: as for a conclusion on the credibility of this horoscope for the USA, set to 11:15 Am on July 4, 1776, I simply cannot offer a solid statement. If you have read the above, I hope that you can make your own conclusion - which is my prime intention with the whole chapter. If you still ask me, I can tell you that I find the above quite convincing - convincing, but not utterly conclusive, that's as far as I go.
I would be manipulative, if I did not point out that astrology, its horoscopes and transits, is such a complex apparatus, it can easily be used to read just about anything into anything. One has to be rather familiar to astrology, to see through that mist. But then one can, in many cases: then it is possible to get an impression of when there are truly significant correlations between a horoscope, its transits and world events. But it takes a firmly objective mind to do it in a trustworthy way - and how many of those minds do we have at our disposal? I would not even trust my own mind blindly, in that respect, so I have to warn you not to be less cautious than I am.
Another aspect to consider before coming to any conclusions, is that even if this horoscope for the USA tried out well with historical events and their transits - what is to say that other versions of a US horoscope would not do just as well? Of course, I tried the other widely known alternatives for a US horoscope - presented in the chapter "Time of Birth" - on some of the historical events, examining their transits and trying to evaluate how relevantly they spoke of the events. It was my finding that they did not do nearly as well as the horoscope with my vote, used above - but I am sure that many astrologers would have a different opinion.
Again, it is for you, the reader, to reach your own conclusion. So what I hope is only that I have served you enough material in the above, for you to feel comfortable in forming your own opinion. And you do have all the basic facts needed, on horoscopes and dates of historical events, to take the examination further, if you like. If you do, I would be grateful to receive a comment - well, also if you do not, I am happy to receive your words on the subject and my treatment of it.
Next, I move on to finally analyzing and interpreting the US horoscope.
