Lisa Feinberg is my friend and She has also been my astrology client.
Few days back, she urged me to examine the #Vedic Horoscope of USA.
But the problem with the horoscope of the USA is that, we don’t know what time to take as the official time-of-birth of the USA.
There is some confusion regarding when the process of the signing of the Declaration of Independence was completed. Astrologers simply do not know that what particular moment to treat as the Moment of Birth of the USA. Most astrologers agree on the date of birth of USA, which is 4th July 1776. They also agree on the place of birth which is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
-----------------------
Shri K.N.Rao has suggested to use 10:21:31 am as the time-of-birth (TOB) of USA on 4th July 1776. This gives 29 deg Leo rising in the Vedic Horoscope of USA. Shri K.N.Rao says that “I got the help of Yogi Karve who gave me the time through his supernormal power which I have found very helpful many times”.
Note: I have used 10:20 am on astro[.]com because 10:21am was not giving Leo rising, as suggested by K.N.Rao.
Leo sign has some of the traits that we can see in USA – like independent and attracting lots of attention. But Leo is not very action oriented and may be more like a relaxing lion. Leo can be warm hearted, proud and passionate.
I made the Vedic Horoscope of USA using the 10:21:31 am and saw the horoscope with reference to the Leo in the 1stH.
In this horoscope the emphasis is on the Gemini/11th H with 4 planets (Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Sun) placed in the 11th H. Mars is 4th H ruler and placed 0 deg 27 min in Gemini – being at 0 deg, Mars is not very strong (he is in childhood state), and does not justify the vast Geography of USA and its vast natural resources.
Also, with so much of emphasis on Gemini/11th H, USA should be mainly a trading country making gains from foreign alliances. It is a fact that USA indeed is a country that exports business to all over the world and makes huge gains from them, but USA’s real identity in the world is more in terms of military superpower.
----------------------
Some other astrologers have used 18:20 Hours as the time of birth of USA on the 4th July 1776. This gives Sagittarius as the rising ascendant of the Vedic Horoscope of USA.
If I take Sagittarius as the ascendant rising for USA Vedic Horoscope, then Sagittarius is normally known to possess a very independent, bold and positive attitude. Sagittarius has high aspirations. It is very open minded and knowledge oriented. Sagittarius will not shy away from challenging others especially if the matter of principles is involved.
Leo and Sagittarius have many things in common, but Sagittarius is more free-spirited while Leo is little orthodox. Sagittarius can be very free spirited in the matter of sex, sexuality and relationship. And somehow I subtly feel that the overall American society is more like Sagittarius than Leo.
4thH from Sagittarius is Pisces, the sign of every-where presence, and it is a fact that USA is present everywhere in the world through its military outreach.
If I take Sagittarius as the ascendant rising of the Vedic Horoscope of USA, then the 11th H of friends will be Libra and the 6th H of enemies will be Taurus – both ruled by Venus. Sagittarius is normally confused between friends and enemies and it is often seen that for a Sagittarius, friends can become enemies and enemies can become friends.
With Sagittarius rising Vedic horoscope of USA, the emphasis in on Gemini/7th H with 4 planets (Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Sun) placed in the 7th H. This relates to a wide variety of contradictory relationships with other countries that USA has. 7th H is "10th from 10th H" is also "4th from the 4th H" . So this also reflects the power, geography and the natural-resources that USA enjoys.
In mundane astrology, 7thH is the house of war – USA became a super-power after the 2nd world-war. And Jupiter the asc. ruler is also in the 7th H, so USA increases his influence and power through participating in innumerable number of small and big wars all the time.
Jupiter is also the 4th H ruler so all the wars has helped USA expand its presence everywhere on the globe (4thH = Pisces).

Seeing 9-11 (on 11th Sep 2001) , which horoscope shows the event more clearly
If we take the Leo rising horoscope (with “10:21:31 am” time), then the dasha running on 11thSep 2001 was Sun main-period, Venus sub-period and Mercury sub-sub-period. Sun is ascendant ruler placed in the 11th H, Mercury is 11thL and Venus is ruler of the 10th H placed in the 11th H. So although Sun is being seen by Saturn, and Mercury is in the 12thH, but still the house rulership wise these planets do not show a strong indication for such kind of risk on the USA sercurity.
If we take the Sagittarius rising horoscope (with “18:20” time), then the dasha running on 11th Sep 2001 was Moon main-period, Rahu sub-period and Moon sub-sub-period. Moon is 8th H (secret planning, plotting and catastrophe) ruler placed in the 3rd H (transport) in the airy sign Aquarius (it was an air attack). Rahu rules 3rd H/Aquarius and is placed in the Cancer/8th H . There was a total Solar Eclipse at 7 deg Gemini/7th H on 21st June 2001, and transit Mars was visiting Sagittarius/1st H at 7 deg opposite the solar-eclipse point, and the 9-11 happened.
So I beg to differ from K.N.Rao’s observation that we should take Leo as the rising sign of USA and I think Sagittarius is the rising sign.
------------
In the Sagittarius rising horoscope, at present USA is running through the main-period of Rahu (placed in the 8th H = change and transformation, catastrophe, secret planning and plotting ). It has started the sub-period of Saturn from December 2020. Saturn and Rahu both rule the 3rd H (media). Saturn is placed in the 10th H (power, king, president). This is indeed difficult time for USA. Last time USA ran through Rahu main period between 1895 and 1913.
