Much like I said last week about the prospect of a major earthquake, I cannot use astrology to definitively prove or disprove whether the United States will have another civil war in the near future. That being said, when I learned about the American Civil War in school, the most important point wasn’t all the suffering that happened during the war — it was that the war successfully ended slavery in the United States. By the time I came along, the drama of who had a battlefield hospital in their backyard was largely forgotten.
