Even if unsubstantiated, the chart is rather awesome to consider and draws me for some reason. The Birth of the World? Click on the image below to expand it.

Even if we can't buy the fact that the earth was "born" at 6 pm one day (after six days of labor, when God "saw it was good" and decided to finally rest). The fact remains that this is the first instance of anybody trying, through study and calculation, to fix the time of the World's creation. So under the mindset of horary, the chart would have some significance, even if the event itself is an impossible concept.

In researching more about Bishop Ussher, I discovered an interesting book called Measuring Eternity: The Search for the Beginning of Time, by Martin Gorst. It discusses how our views about time, creation, and eternity have evolved.

As "foolish" as a birthchart of the World is, I'd love to hear what people think about it from a symbolic perspective. Imagine Gaia's nodal story... Even knowing that it can't be the birthchart of Creation, we might instead entertain the idea of it being the chart of the Judeo-Christian culture -- another fascinating idea. Here are some brief thoughts:

- Aries Rising: Birth, initiation, vigor, life force, tada!
- Libra Sun + Moon: Love one another
- Sun + Moon in the 6th: Serve one another, be humble
- Scorpio Venus in 8th: Bond, be honest, connect, persevere, don't let go easily, accept that death and pain are part of this journey
- Aries Pluto in 1st opp Libra Mars in 7th: There will be conflict, wounding and strife here, brother against brother
- Leo South Node in 5th: Leave behind self-importance and frivolous pursuits
- Aquarius North Node conj Jupiter: Our journey is to something greater and unexpected.

And it's pretty interesting that we'll be entering the age of Aquarius soon, huh?

Enjoy!
