In his book,
The Secret Architecture of our
Nation's Capital, David Ovason describes in great detail the astrological
underpinnings of Washington, D.C. and its connection to the sign of Virgo and the ancient
Goddess mysteries. Ovason stresses that the Masons, who were among the city's
architects and planners and who were present at the groundbreaking
foundation ceremonies, were knowledgeable about astrology. In the tradition
of ancient astrologers, they would have recognized the link between the stars
and the destiny of cities.
The
most recent New Moon that occurred on Monday, September
17th was at 24 degrees of Virgo. Ovason cites 24 degrees of Virgo as a
“critical degree” that
repeatedly recurs in the city's most important horoscopes. In the federal city's
founding horoscope of April 21, 1791, the day the city foundation stone was
laid, Virgo was on the ascendant, with Jupiter rising at 23 degrees Virgo. On
October 13, 1792, the day the foundation stone for the White House was laid,
both the moon and the North node were conjunct at 23 degrees Virgo. “On
September 18th, 1793, when President George Washington in his role as Grand
Master laid the foundation stone for the Capitol,” writes Ovason, “the Sun
was in 24 degrees of Virgo, and thus reflected the Virgoan nature of the new
city. When the cornerstone for the Washington Monument was laid July 4th, 1848,
the moon went into Virgo; more importantly, the north node was at 25 Virgo.”
“According
to medieval Arab astrologers,” writes Ovason, “this degree had a particular
importance: it marked that point in the zodiac where the Moon was thought to
promote the greatest happiness and well-being. We must presume, then, that
the intention behind the choice of moment was that this beneficial
influence would be transmitted into Washington, D.C.”
