Filibuster charts -- second look/comment

[Guest guest]

April 6, 1789 was indeed the first " quorum day " for the House and the Senate

under the second Constitution. The day also marked the first ever " joint

session " of the two houses, convened in order to count the Electoral College

votes cast in February for the President and Vice President. This single purpose

joint session was held between 1:30 and 2:30 pm.

 

Regarding filibustering, as such. On April 30, 1789, George Washington's

inaugural oath-swearing ceremony was delayed more than one hour beyond the

scheduled time of 12:00 noon. The reason was the deliberate but unnecessary

delaying action of certain Senators who chose to re-open a debate on certain

ceremonial protocols. This debate delayed the departure of the Congressional

Greeting Committee which was charged with the task of going to Washington's

residence on Cherry Street in order to escort him to the Federal Hall Ceremony.

This event, as deliberate delaying action, in substance certainly qualifies as a

filibuster; the first ever in Congress under the second Constitution.

 

In 1850, America's foremost astrologer, Luke Broughton, published a rectified

time of 1:20 pm for the completion of the swearing-in. If accurate, the delaying

action cost 80 minutes.

Thank you for the information. The April 6, 1789 chart, set for 12:01

PM in NYC yields an MC of 16-59 Aries and an ASC of 1-30 Leo. Like

all " noon " charts, Sun isat 17-18 Aries conjunct the MC, Uranus is on

the ASC angle at 0-45 Leo, Rx, Neptune is on the IC at 22-04 Libra.

Jupiter in the 12th at 20-32 Cancer completes a T-Square with Sun

opposite Neptune.

 

It will take some time to consider the meaning of both these dates,

the first meeting and the first quorum meeting, and to then test some

of the filibuster events. For the last Monday evening agreement

chart, the Quorum Sun is at the Agreement S.Node -- placing the T-

square on the nodal axis. Otherwise not much makes a strong first

impression.

 

Again, thanks. Dave.

Thank you for that information. I'll look at that data as well. I'm

putting together a book on PSSRs using all of the techniques that I've

developed on my own. It occured to me that this filibuster issue

might prove to be a good example of using historical events/dates to

show how valid PSSRs can be over the long haul. Of course, it does

mean running a lot of charts but that is easy these days compared to

when I did them all by hand. Thanks for this information -- it is

fascinating, really. Dave
