Charts of other nations, particularly the European, I find vexing. I'm of the opinion that their "births" are too difficult to determine and even if anyone of them that is presently recognized is in fact valid, I know too little about foreign history to even begin to trying to understand them. I've got my hands full with that of the United States, and I have a number of other astrological matters I'm in continuous research with.I'm no expert with American charts, but I have had much success with the English/British charts. Within this, I must say that I do not use precession adjusted charts and am none the less impressed with your research. That said, when it comes to the three outer planets, we must take on board the dance that they do because of their relative orbits. Personally I use four inception charts for the UK. The first is the chart for the Coronation of Edgar on 11th May 0973 [OS] in Bath [chart for king as sole ruler of Britain]. At the time of the Norman invasion in 1066, Pluto had recently opposed its natal position and sat on the descendant @ 5 degrees tropical Pisces/Edgar descendant: At the formation of the United Kingdom in 1801, Pluto was returning to that of 1066/Edgar Descendant. Transit Neptune was coming to the conjunction of Sun/Mars[25 Taurus] of Edgar in 1066, with Uranus square 10th house Saturn. I also use the chart of the Glorious Revolution of 1689, indicating our constitutional monarchy. The Sun sat @ 5 Pisces and square the ASC/DESC axis and was conjunct Neptune: Uranus at this time was in Taurus and coming to the degrees mentioned earlier . When the United Kingdom of Great Britain came into existence in 1922, Pluto had returned to its position at the time of the Glorious Revolution. The chart of the Glorious Revolution was valid at American independence, but for me the Boston Tea Party was symbolic start of the whole ensuing process; note a grand trine of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto with Uranus on Edgars' MC [Sun/Mars], Pluto also semi-square Edgar ASC. Sorry this is so brief, but hope this can be useful in your research.
Uranus at 25 Taurus always sees major turning points for British monarchy. Meghan Markle has Uranus stationary and unaspected at 26 Scorpio; as far as British monarchy is concerned, she's a one woman wreaking machine LOL!
I've made a number of posts pertaining to the USA's natal chart since March of 2012. What I've found for the time of our Civil War to be one of the most convincing of arguments for the "Zero Hour" chart to be the valid chart. The 1960's in the U.S. and what astrological effects were prevalent is also a good study.
I mentioned above about the Sabian Symbolgy for the USA's Asc. and how it is the "WHO" of ones' chart axis. I didn't bring up the Desc., the 'WHERE-TO", [or, as I sometimes prefer to say, the "WHOM-TO"] is in the 22nd degree of Libra [also the location of my Natal Neptune]. It has as its Sabian Symbol:
[ibid.]
"LIBRA 22°: A CHILD GIVING BIRDS A DRINK AT A FOUNTAIN.
KEYNOTE: The concern of simple souls for the welfare and happiness of less-evolved beings who thirst for life renewal.
The original statement of this symbol is far more significant than the later formulation, for what is expressed here is a reversal of the operation mentioned in the preceding symbol. Man, who has built the fountain — perhaps on arid land and through skillful work — gives the life-bestowing water to the thirsting birds. He does not go to the sea, but he brings the purified, drinkable water to the birds needing it. The connection between 'child' and 'birds' implies a spontaneous, naïve rapport at the spiritual level, a soul-touch at the level of pure feelings
. At this second stage of the five-fold process the contrast with the first takes on a suggestive aspect. What you received from the Infinite, you can give to the finite beings that thirst for it. Man does not need to destroy nature's wilderness through greed and carelessness; he can transform this wilderness into a garden, whose singing fountains will attract birds. We can use here Marc Jones's
Keyword for this degree: SOLICITUDE."
We were meant to become a place where one could find true spiritual nourishment, a land to allow ones own spiritual nature to become manifest
ON OCTOBER 9, 1965, URANUS AND PLUTO WERE CONJUNCT AT 17* 09' 57" and the USA's natal Part of War [Asc. + Mars - Pluto] adjusted for the Sidereal precession up to that time was at 17* 20' 28" and We were just beginning to wage large scale war on the Vietnamese.
The N.Node at that time was in the 6th degree of Gemini.
[ibid.]
"GEMINI 6°: WORKMEN DRILLING FOR OIL.
KEYNOTE: The avidity for that knowledge which ensures wealth and power."
..and Dane's Keyword: "AMBITION."
I think that it can also be understood as an avidity for just wealth and power... at least in its lowest form... although there were rumors of a belief that the Bay of Saigon sat over a huge oil field ...hmmm...?
May God bless you in your astrological endeavors... thanks for the support.
