This book reveals a time for the U.S. chart that has passed every rigorous test applied against it to date-and it may be based on an eye-witness account.Primary directions, one of the most accurate timing tools in astrology, were used by ancient and medieval astrologers. Using this technique, Kenneth Bowser has found the primary direction pattern that corresponds to the historical events of our country--the Civil War, the Louisiana Purchase, women's suffrage, the 1929 stock market crash, our victory in WWII, the Civil Rights Movement and more. The book also includes a detailed look at the merits and deficiencies of both the Sibly and Herndon charts, the two most popular charts for the United States. The appendix includes instructions on how to do primary directions. Primary directions are the same in both zodiacs and both tropical and sidereal charts are included.

The definitive text on Primary Directions, written by a 20th century master. Sepharial (1864-1929) was one of the leading astrologers in the early 20th century English astrological revival. Primaries were his favorite means of forecasting. Primaries, unlike simple transits or secondary directions, are not immediately obvious to the average student. So in this book, the author starts with the basic definitions. He then explains how to calculate directions in mundo, directions in the zodiac, as well as parallel directions. He suggests methods of organization and describes what effects primary directions may produce. In the process he gives an overview of the three main schools of forecasting: The Fatalists, the Casuists, and the Idealists, and gives the pros and cons of each. Sepharial then discusses the two major individuals behind primaries. These are Claudius Ptolemy, who invented the semi-arc (primary) method in the second century AD, and the 17th century Italian monk, Placidus de Titis, who devised the complex house system that enabled primaries to be calculated easily and rapidly. Sepharial next tackles directions under Poles, which were a favorite of R.C. Smith, the first of several men known as "Raphael". Then, the resolution of problems unique to Primaries: The proper method to calculate the Part of Fortune (Oblique Ascension/ Descension, rather than simple zodiacal longitudes), various unique challenges with primary directions and the moon, and the true way to calculate directions to house cusps, along with some novel shortcuts. This book, originally entitled Directional Astrology, was the revised and expanded successor to the author's earlier Prognostic Astrology. It is also superior to his better known Primary Directions Made Easy. Using this system, Sepharial made many notable forecasts, most famously that of the end of World War I and the abdication of the Kaiser. Interest in this fascinating system has increased since the mid-1990's. This is the finest book ever published on the subject, one that will repay study.

In this book, Charles Carter (1887-1968) seeks a method of astrological forecasting that produces accurate results without the complicated calculations of Primary Directions. To quote Carter, an ideal directional system should fulfil four criteria: 1. No important event should pass without a direction. 2. No direction should pass without an event. 3. Events and directions should correspond narrowly in time. 4. Events and directions should correspond in character. (from page 10) To achieve these goals, Carter examined a number of symbolic systems. Symbolic because they were not based on any actual planetary movement, but rather, were arcs, arbitrarily chosen and then uniformly applied to all factors in the natal chart. In this book, he presents the best of his research. Among the systems of exceptional merit are the One degree, the Naibod (59'8"), the Duodenary (2o30'), the Sub-duodenary (12'30"), the Septenary (4 2/7 o), Novenary (3o20') and the Fractional Measure, which is based on natal aspects. Along the way, Carter's restless mind tackled the subject of death. Here, he discovered what he termed the Measure of Death. He says while it does not always forecast death, the Measure of Death is always present at death. Carter found symbolic directions to have real value in astrological forecasting. His work remains unique. This book was first published in 1929.

Ever since Ebenezer Sibly first introduced his proposed horoscope for the Declaration of Independence in his 1780 book 'The Celestial Science of Astrology, ' agreement on the correct USA National Horoscope has proven elusive with over a dozen different horoscope variations proposed. Discovery of the Regulus USA National Horoscope is unique for its first application of medieval astrological techniques to the question of modern National Horoscopes. Focusing on the Ascendant, over 300 measurements computed using both primary directions and solar arc directions are presented to support the rectification. Included as a special application of primary directions is the largest empirical study of Directing through the Bounds ever attempted or presented. Results that the directed Ascendant times shifts in the national consciousness represent a significant contribution to the history of American social movements. Intended for astrologers new to primary directions, America is Born includes a complete set of instructions, formulas, and examples for computation of Ascendant primary directions.

The Horoscope of the United States An Interpretation using the New Astrology Interpreted by: Dr. Douglas M. Baker B.A., M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., F.Z.S. Featuring Analysis: For the Years 1776 & 1994 With Progressions: For the years 2000 & 2100 The new astrology is very flexible and the technique can be applied to mundane, planetary conditions as well as to human and esoteric matters. We find that combinations of symbols can be used to describe everything that exists in our world: ourselves, a nation, a group of nations, a planet, and so forth. In the following pages you will find this method of interpretation applied to the horoscope of the U.S.A. The term ‘New Astrology’ is synonymous with ‘Esoteric Astrology and is used for today’s reformulation of this most ancient art & science. “It is intuitional astrology which must eventually supersede what is today called astrology, thus bringing about a return to the knowledge of that ancient science which related the constellations and our solar system, drew attention to the nature of the zodiac and informed humanity as to the basic interrelations which govern and control the phenomenal and subjective worlds.” — Alice A. Bailey, Esoteric Astrology
