Biography
Date of the Declaration of Independence, generally considered the chart of the U.S. The time has been open to debate for a number of years. "A Chronology of American Charts," written by Ron Howland represents the culmination of over 20 years of in-depth research into American history and astrology. Howland presents the key horoscopes that describe the American soul from the 1066 CE chart for England right through to the inauguration of President Clinton. Each chart has been carefully researched and full sources of the data used are included.
Howland's research into The Declaration of Independence brings new documentary evidence to light, and he makes a powerful case for a Virgo rising chart with Gemini on the Mc as the most effective chart for the USA.
