At 4:30 A.M. on April
12 [Edmund] Ruffin pulled the lanyard on a symbolic first shot of the new
revolution ... the shelling continued through thirty-four hours and some 4,000
shells.
–Bruce Catton, The
Civil War.
USA:
II. The Civil War
ii: Shelling of Fort Sumter
When the first
shot was fired at Fort Sumter from Cummings Point–marking the beginning of
the Civil War–Primary Pluto and Secondary Neptune were the key Transcendentals
(each receive an almost equal number of minor aspects). In the astrocartography
for this event, Primary Pluto is positioned in its vertical, midnight line
along the West Coast, while Secondary Neptune and Tertiary Mercury are positioned
in their curving, rising lines over the East Coast, thereby framing the entire
continental USA. In South Carolina, Neptune and Mercury form a narrow Transcendental
Midpoint-Field over Fort Sumter, and Tertiary Mercury rises almost precisely
over Fort Sumter (79W46).
Primary Pluto and Secondary
Neptune symbolize “widespread social and political upheaval and regeneration”
(Pluto) and the “disruption of personal life [/] by large-scale economic,
political, [and] cultural ... changes beyond one’s control”1 (Neptune / Pluto).
A classical keynote for Neptune is “dissolution”: the “‘dissolving’ of the
Union” being an often-used phrase to describe the historic conflict between
the North and the South.
