Political Astrology is the branch of astrology dealing with politics, the government, and the politicians/laws governing a particular nation, state, or city. Certains countries have astrological charts (or horoscopes) just like a person is said to in astrology; for example, the chart for the USA is widely thought to be sometime during the day of July 4th, 1776, for this is the exact day that the Declaration of Independence was signed and made fully official, thus causing the "birth" of the United States of America as a nation. Indeed, July 4th is a major national holiday in America and unequivocally thought of as the "birthday" of the entire nation.
