Mundane astrology

Certain countries have astrological charts (or horoscopes) just like a person is said to in astrology; for example, the chart for the United States is widely thought to be sometime during the day of July 4, 1776, for this is the exact day that the Declaration of Independence was signed and made fully official, thus causing the "birth" of the United States as a nation.

[3][4] Astrologically, the affairs of a nation are judged from the horoscope set up at the time of its official inauguration or the birth chart of its leader, or various phenomena such as eclipses, lunations, great conjunctions, planetary stations, comets and ingresses.

[5] The techniques of the subject were discussed in detail in the 2nd century work of the Alexandrian astronomer Ptolemy, who outlined its principles in the second book of his Tetrabiblos.

[8] His notebooks demonstrate how he recorded the logic for his conclusions: Pregnant women and boys will incur harm and severe dangers.

Concerning the wars of this year: they will be caused by the aspect of opposition of two heavy planets, which will occur on 27 March.
