Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Dear John, If we create a chart for November 25, 1897, and we check the date of the earthquake from October 11, 1918, Date Time‡ Place Lat. Long. Fatalities M MX†(M reference) October 11, 1918 14:14 Puerto Rico 18.47 -67.63 116 7.5 MS (McCann, 1985) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes We can see that the Rahu & Ketu axis is exactly over natal Mercury and transit Ketu afflicts transit Mercury.  This suggests the possibility of a rectified chart for Puerto Rico on this date. But since Puerto Rico belongs to US since December 10, 1898, as we can see in: ArtÃculo II España cede a los Estados Unidos la Isla de Puerto Rico y las demás que están ahora bajo su soberanÃa en las Indias Occidentales, y la Isla de Guam en el Archipiélago de las Marianas o Ladrones. http://www.lexjuris.com/LEXLEX/lexotras/lextratadoparis.htm Let us see if this event (earthquake) comes also in the US rectified chart: Dasha: Ra/Ju/Ve/Ju/Sa. As we can see, transit Rahu is in H1, which is exactly afflicted by transit Mars. It also afflicts MEP4, MEP7, MEP8, and natal Jupiter exactly, and afflicts natal Venus closely.  Transit Jupiter is badly placed in H8. Transit Venus is debilitated, afflicted by natal Ketu, and afflicts MEP11 and MEP5 within 2 degrees. Its dispositor, Mercury, is combust and exactly afflicted by transit Ketu, which weakens also natal Saturn, L4, and transit Sun. Transit Sun, L10, and natal Saturn, L4, being weakened due to the exact affliction on their dispositor and the close affliction of the MMP over MEP11, are also closely afflicted by transit Ketu. It seems OK regarding the US rectified chart. Best wishes, Jorge PS: any hint regarding TOB for Puerto Rico?  JohnTWB [jtwbjakarta] segunda-feira, 2 de Janeiro de 2006 12:02 Angelino Jorge Puerto Rico, born November 25, 1897 Hi Jorge Sovereign Control of Puerto Rico Spain 1493-1898; thenafter, the U.S.A. from 1898 Puerto Rican Body-Politic Born [within the Spanish State], November 25, 1897 November 25, 1897 the Carta Autonómica (Autonomic Charter) was approved in which Spain conceded political and administrative autonomy to the island. It allowed the island to retain its representation in the Spanish Cortes and provided for a bicameral legislature. This legislature consisted of a Council of Administration with eight elected and seven appointed members, and a Chamber of Representatives with one member for every 25,000 inhabitants. That same year, the Partido Autonomista Ortodoxo (Orthodox Autonomist Party) would be founded, led by José Celso Barbosa and Manuel Fernandez Juncos. On February 9, 1898, the new government officially started. Governor General Manuel MacÃas inaugurated the new government of Puerto Rico under the Autonomous Charter which gave town councils complete autonomy in local matters. Subsequently, the governor had no authority to intervene in civil and political matters unless authorized to do so by the Cabinet. Governor MacÃas officially announced that Puerto Rico had been ceded to the United States on September 29, 1899. The Spanish withdrawal from Puerto Rico would be complete by October 18, 1899 as the final troops left San Juan for Spain. General John R. Brooke became the first United States military governor of the island. With the Treaty of Paris of December 10, 1898 the Spanish-American War officially ended. Puerto Rico was henceforth under the military control of the United States of America until the enactment of the Foraker Law in 1900. The federal military forces changed the name of the island to Porto Rico (The name would be changed back to Puerto Rico in 1932 and the currency was changed from the Puerto Rican peso to the United States dollar. On May, General George W. Davis succeeded to Island command. Freedom of assembly, speech, press, and religion were decreed and an eight-hour day for government employees was established. A public school system was started and the U.S. Postal service was extended to the Island. The highway system was enlarged, and bridges over the more important rivers were constructed. The government lottery was abolished, cockfighting was forbidden, and a beginning was made toward the establishment of a centralized public health service. Puerto Rico: The Stateless Body-Politic After December 1898 Foraker Law of April 2, 1900 The military government was disbanded on April 02, 1900 when the Organic Law of 1900 was passed by Congress. Senator Joseph B. Foraker proposed the legislation and the law is commonly known by his name. The Foraker Law established a civil government and free commerce between the island and United States. Puerto Rico became the first unincorporated territory in United States history. The first U.S. appointed civil governor under the Foraker Act, Charles H. Allen, was inaugurated on May 01, 1900 in San Juan. Jones Act of March 2, 1917 The Jones Act was approved on December 5, 1916 and signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on March 2, 1917. The law made Puerto Rico a U.S. territory which is " organized but unincorporated, " . It also made all Puerto Ricans U.S. citizens. As citizens, Puerto Ricans were now allowed to join the army. Over 20,000 Puerto Ricans served during World War I, most were drafted. The law also separated the three governmental powers into a structure which mimic the U.S. government with the legislative, the executive and the judicial. A bill of rights was also created, and established that elections were to be held every four years. With this act English is also decreed the official language of Puerto Rico. The Organic Act was approved. This gave the island a legislature (19 senators, 39 representatives) elected freely by the Puerto Rican people. The governor of Puerto Rico was still appointed by the President of the United States. U.S. Citizenship [implied by the Jones Act] Revoked in 1922. In the 1922 case of Balzac v. Porto Rico (258 U.S. 308) the U.S. Supreme Court declared that Puerto Rico was a territory rather than a part of the Union. The decision stated that the U.S. constitution did not apply in Puerto Rico. The Postwar World War II Years and Commonwealth Status, July 25, 1952 In 1946, the U.S. government granted Puerto Rico increased local autonomy, exemplified by the appointment of the first native Puerto Rican governor, Jesus T. Piñero. The right of popular election of the governor followed, and Muñoz MarÃn won the 1948 election. His administration undertook a program of agricultural reform and industrial expansion called " Operation Bootstrap. " On July 25, 1952, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico was proclaimed. The continuing Nationalist campaign for independence, however, was dramatized by an attempt to assassinate President Harry S. Truman in 1950 and by a shooting attack in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1954. Muñoz MarÃn was reelected in 1952, 1956, and 1960. He was succeeded by another Popular Democratic candidate, Roberto Sánchez Vilella.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks, Jorge, for the quick turnaround on your findings. I should add for the benefit of the Group that Puerto Rico is, like Canada and Australia (to cite two examples), a nation that politically birthed itself without achieving "sovereign independence," such being the nature of dominion status, whenever. Sadly, when the USA invaded and "stole" Puerto Rico from Spain in 1898, it appears that this island nation would have been steadily on its way to true sovereign independence during the early decades of the 20th century. However, the USA eventually gave the people a conditional U.S. citizenship, what I call "14th Amendment citizenship", a citizenship without sovereign rights as guaranteed under the entire U.S. Constitution. Only U.S. statehood or absolute sovereign independence could bring that about if the people of Puerto Rico so elected. Puerto Rico, as a USA sponsored commonwealth, remains for more than 100 years now in a unique political "grey area", a "stateless" nation.
