“I Have a Dream” Martin Luther King, Jr. (August 28, 1963)

This speech has become a reminder to every American that the dream is not yet a reality.

(The video goes out of sync a few times, and the words are somewhat misquoted in the overwritten subtitles, but the sound of his voice is clear and evocative and undeniable.)

The actual time of his speech is unstated in all the documentation I researched, but one site stated that it happened in the late afternoon. That was my cue to rectify the chart until the Moon was transiting the event horizon. (The Moon signifies popularity.) There are no inconjuncts…

When you compare the Speech chart with MLK Jr’s birth chart, you get the sense that this event was the culmination of his life (5 years before his assassination). The event North Node is conjunct his natal Pluto in Cancer, and the Moon/Ascendant conjunction of the Speech is conjunct his natal Saturn in Sagittarius and opposite his natal Mars in Gemini. This was his personal Gettysburg Address.

Let the bells of freedom ring…
