Which USA Horoscope to use has often been a hotly debated topic on astrology forums, and seen a few guys banned around the place. There are many dates and times to choose from but there is one US horoscope which is gets the most attention.
The Sibly chart is the most commonly used by professional astrologers and for good reason. Ebenezer Sibly was an English astrologer and Freemason who had inside information about the Declaration on Independence, which occurred on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He used the time of 5:10 pm for the USA horoscope. In The Book of World Horoscopes, Nicholas Campion mentions the Sibly chart on page 365:
“it is therefore THE horoscope which signifies independence”
Proving the USA Horoscope
The very best way I have found to see if a national horoscope is accurate, is to test it against the country’s first atomic test. As always, I use precession correction for transits to get the best results. The Trinity Test occurred on July 16, 1945 at the Trinity Site, New Mexico, at 5:29:21 am. Below are the transits to the Sibly USA horoscope for that explosion. They prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the most accurate USA astrology chart is the Sibly chart.
North Node conjunct Jupiter 0°46′
Pluto conjunct North Node 0°24′
Neptune conjunct MC 0°30′

The Battle of Antietam
The Battle of Antietam (see chart) on September 17, 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland was the bloodiest day in United States history, with a combined tally of 22,717 dead, wounded, or missing. The following are transits (conjunctions only) from the battle horoscope to the USA Horoscope (Sibly):

The rising star in the USA Horoscope is Ras Algethi in constellation Hercules. Ebertin says: “Ras Algethi corresponds to boldness and a drive to gain power.” Robson says: “When rising it can mean a wise and clever man, but can also indicate an individual trained in various tricks, a liar who deceives with different kinds of plots.”
