Planetary Politics

Thomas Jefferson was well aware of planetary cycles, configurations, and influences. His writings make repeated references to a twenty year cycle for “touching up” a revolution.

Jefferson 20 year cycle of change has worked itself out since 1840, in that every President elected on the cycle has died in office. The pattern began with William Harrison elected in 1840; Abraham Lincoln elected in 1860; James Garfield, elected in 1880; William McKinley, re-elected in 1900; William Harding elected in 1920; FDR, re-elected in 1940; John Kennedy elected in 1960.

It is no accident that July 4 was chosen as the birth of our county. The date represents highly significant planetary configurations. From July 4 other significant date in American tradition follow the astrological cycle of fours. Thus national elections are held in November, the fourth month following July and the original date for the inauguration of the president was March 4, the fourth month following November. Count four more months and you are back to the birthday of the United States.
