14 of Cancer – mysterious or what?
I recently had an opportunity to read The Harbinger by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn.
In his book, Cahn states that the birth date of America was the date George Washington was sworn in as President – April 30, 1789 in the morning hours around 9am.
Here is where my curiosity gets piqued. Here s where I dive off the deep end into the pool of astrology. On this swearing in date in 1789, the Moon in the horoscope wheel was passing 14 degrees of Cancer.
Where was the Sun on July 4, 1776 – the date recognized as American Independence Day ? Why, it was at 14 of Cancer.
Where was the Ascendant on May 19, 1789 at the founding date of the New York Stock Exchange? Why it was passing 14 of Cancer, of course.
Now, here is where things get weird. In the early 1500s, Spanish writer Bartolome de las Casas penned a narrative of Columbus’ discovery of the New World. He wrote that on the evening of October 11, 1492 Columbus and his party were anchored at sea and in the distance they saw flickering lights which they took to be fires burning. So, where was the Moon in the zodiac wheel on the evening of October 11, 1492? Why, yes…, it was at 14 Cancer.
Fast forward now to April 3, 1848 when a group of Chicago businessmen founded the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). And where was the Moon on that morning when the corporate documents were being finalized and signed? Why, 14 of Cancer of course.
I am at a loss to explain this 14 of Cancer point. But, I can tell you that I have looked at it thoroughly and I have noted price inflection points on CBOT agricultural commodities do often align to dates when heliocentric Mercury, Mars and Venus pass 14 of Cancer. And, the entire McWhirter methodology is based on structuring monthly lunation charts with the Ascendant at 14 Cancer.
If anyone out there has some deeper ideas on 14 Cancer – I would enjoy hearing from you.
