Notes: This is one of these charts where the time of day can greatly affect the sun placement because if you leave it at noon then the sun placement will be 29.9 Pisces. I was fortunate to discover that Alvan E Bovay announced their school house was to hold their 1st meeting later confirming that 16 others met at 6:30PM. I always found them to be quite knowledgeable & book smart. Mercury opposing the Ascendant also demonstrates this. Venus opposing Mars could indicate "feelings of patriotism", "protecting the innocent", "& a love for the military" perhaps even a "love for war & conflict". The MC lands on USA jupiter which describes people who're very methodical, respectful, polite & religious. The Ascendant area describes people who're more practical & conservative as well as thrifty. For the Reading, I took the Asc opposing mercury squaring USA jupiter.
Ian: "what do you think these riddles mean as a whole? Explain this detailed summary of event."

Chatgpt o4mini: "These riddles together paint a picture of a movement rooted in preserving time-honored values and limiting the reach of centralized authority. Its adherents pore over historical texts—whether ancient treatises on warfare or foundational constitutional writings—to fortify arguments in defense of private property, individual responsibility, and restrained government. They pride themselves on fact-based debate, ready to dismantle critiques they see as utopian or detached from practical realities, especially when it comes to fiscal policy, regulatory reach, and educational content. Protecting families from ideologically driven curricula and safeguarding the rights of parents to guide their children’s upbringing are recurring touchstones in their discourse. At the same time, these same voices often draw upon religious teachings and revered scriptures to reinforce moral guidance. They encourage close reading of sacred texts, passing down lessons about personal virtue, communal obligation, and the promise of redemption. Childhood education, in this worldview, is not only about literacy and numeracy but also about teaching enduring narratives—heroes of faith, warnings against moral failure, and the hope of eventual renewal. By combining a commitment to limited governance with deference to spiritual tradition, the overall ethos celebrates both the lessons of the past and a vision of society built on strong families, personal liberty, and continuity with ancestral wisdom."
