Astrocartography
of Brazil:
Portuguese claim possession, 22 April 1500
Source:
For the
"Portuguese claim possession, 1500" chart: Campion,
"The Book of World Horoscopes," p. 99, citing astrologer Antonio
Harres; chart corrected to Porto Seguro longitude / latitude.
Additional information: "In 1494, the Treaty of Tordesilhas divided
the Americas between Spain and Portugal. Portugal gained the right
to claim land in what is now eastern Brazil. Portugal claimed possession
of Brazil on April 22, 1500, when the Portuguese fleet commander Pedro
Alvares Cabral landed on the coast. The Portuguese called certain
trees that they found there brazilwoods because their wood had the
color of a glowing ember, called brasa in Portuguese. They
named the country after the trees." World Book Encyclopedia,
CD-Rom edition, 1997.
"Brazilian
independence was proclaimed by Emperor D. Pedro I in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The event came to be known as the 'Ipiranga cry,' because it took
place near the Iparanga River on Sept 7, 1822, between 16:00 and 17:00
(LMT) in Sao Paulo." Brazilian astrologer Nilsa Gorey, private correspondence,
23 August 2000.
"Brazil
proclaimed its independence from Portugal [...] on 7 September 1822.
The event ... took place between 4:00 and 5:00 P.M. LMT ..."
Campion, "The Book
of World Horoscopes," (Second Edition, 1996), p. 99.
There is a
strong movement among Brazilian astrologers in favor of a 4:47 P.M.
time for this chart. This is based on historic accounts of the whereabouts
of the emperor on that particular day, the time he arrived at Ipiranga
river, etc., and is supported by the feeling shared by many local
astrologers that Brazil is more likely to be portrayed by a Pisces
ascendant rather than by an Aquarius ascendant.
Source for the "Proclamation
of the Republic Chart" (Nov 15, 1889; Rio de Janeiro; 3:00 P.M):
Edgar Carone, "A Republica Velha (Evolucao Politica)." Editora Difel,
1971, p. 8. The new government (the result of a coup d'etat) was inaugurated
at 11:00 A.M. at Rio de Janeiro (then the capital), and the proclamation
took place at 3:00 P.M. The second chart features an Aries ascendant:
perhaps a fitting portrait of the military coup. Although Brazil has
had several constitutions, this event totally changed the form of
government; formerly it was an empire, and now it became a republic,
with elections, etc. (Again, thanks to Nilsa Gorey
for passing along all the above information.)
"On
5 October 1988 Brazil adapted a new constitution which represented
a significant break from past procedure and practice. The signing
of the constitution, which took place at 3:49 P.M., was timed from
a live television broadcast by Antonio Harres in Rio de Janeiro."
Campion, "The
Book of World Horoscopes," (Second Edition, 1996), p. 99.
Chart is set for the capital, Brasilia.
