Notes: I took dad's suggestion which is based on the September 11th attack where pluto was located at 12 sag 38". Interestingly, Dane Rudhyar rectified this to 5:13:55 PM & Astro Databank has it set to Sibley's 5:10 PM. I asked Starkman what he thought & he recommended his mentor Alexander Marr's who gave a gemini rising of 2:13 AM. I took my time exploring these placements & figured sagittarius rising was a suitable candidate. My plan is to showcase USA Asc, MC, Sun & Moon. Another thing I should note is Pluto is semi squaring USA Asc. Pluto is not a good planet to be aspecting. I'm suddenly reminded of a quote from Benjamin Franklin: "I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharping and robbing."
Ian: "what do you think these riddles mean as a whole? Explain this detailed summary of events."

Chatgpt-4o: "These riddles collectively tell the story of a nation’s quest for independence and the formation of a new government based on principles of liberty and self-determination. The narrative begins with the declaration of autonomy by the nation's founding leader, emphasizing the importance of written documentation to ensure the enduring freedom of its people. Key rights, such as freedom of speech, are established, and the collaborative effort of founding figures to create a framework for future growth and happiness is highlighted. The Declaration of Independence plays a crucial role in uniting the colonies, leading to the formation of a self-sufficient and sovereign nation. The story further explores the symbolic representation of the nation through a majestic bird, often associated with strength and freedom. This creature, depicted on currency and other national symbols, signifies the nation's values and aspirations. The narrative also touches on the nation's expansion and economic growth, driven by the discovery of valuable resources and the establishment of educational systems to nurture future generations. The government's role in shaping the minds of its citizens through industrial and technological advancements is evident, reflecting the nation's commitment to progress and development."
