Article: An Astrological Look at Cartersville, Georgia
The State of Georgia and the City of Cartersville have Aquarian charts. The Chamber of Commerce has the Sun in Cancer, Moon in Aquarius. In fact, General James Edward Oglethorpe (December 22 1696 London, England – June 30, 1785) (a 01 degree Capricorn so very close to being an Aquarian) was an English general, a philanthropist, and a founder of the state of Georgia. A social reformer in England, he hoped to resettle England’s poor, especially those in debtor’s prison, in the New World.

1. Sun and North Node in Cancer (home, food, family and security issues) in the 11th house (friends, groups, community, networking). That places the SOUTH Node in Capricorn (institutions, business, and money from commerce) in the 5th house (children, creativity, fun and games).
2. Rising sign is at 27 degrees late Leo (children, entertainment) but almost in Virgo (health and accounting). However, Saturn (rules, restrictions) is in Leo in the 12th house (behind the scenes).
3. The Moon is in Aquarius (community, groups, friends) in the 6th house (jobs, work, health, and daily routine)
4. The 10th house career midheaven is in late Taurus with a lot of planets in nearby Gemini. The Taurus emphasis requires routine and stability in the career, choosing a reliable and determined path, strongly attracted to a traditional career such as a government role, or earth sciences.

City of Cartersville, Georgia
The city has an official date of incorporation February 8, 1854. Historical records also show that the town was initially incorporated by an Act of Legislature approved February 5, 1850. Using either date, this makes Cartersville a Sun sign Aquarius, and Earth in Leo. In looking at all of the planetary placements and reading the Sabian Symbols on the 1854 chart, cast at noon, it is fascinating. Bartow County has a Sagittarius chart.
Bartow County was created from a portion of the Cherokee County by an Act of the Georgia Legislature on December 2, 1832 (Sagittarius). The founders included Francis Stebbins Bartow born September 6, 1816 (Virgo).. Rev. Samuel G. Jones born near Abbeville, S. C., August 16, 1805 (Leo). Richard R. Hargis born September 9, 1842 (Virgo), at Cass Station, Bartow county.
Aquarius, the water bearer, is a fixed air sign ruled by two very different planets Saturn and Uranus (old name is Ouranus). So, it’s easy to understand why we can be sitting on the Etowah River near the ancient Indian Mounds, we have the newly restored historic downtown district, as well as the modern Booth Western Art Museum and in late 2008 we will also have the new Tellus planetarium and Earth Sciences Museum. It’s a blend of the old (Saturn) and the new ((O)uranus). Astronomy and astrology are ruled by (O)uranus and Aquarius.
Bartow County was created from a portion of the Cherokee County by an Act of the Georgia Legislature on December 2, 1832, and was first called Cass County in honor of General Lewis Cass. Cass, an American statesman born in Exeter, New Hampshire in 1782, and was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy. He was elected to the Ohio legislature in 1806. When the War of 1812 broke out, he entered the U. S. Army and rose rapidly to the rank of Brigadier General. From 1813 to 1831, he was the second territorial governor of the Michigan Territory. He steered Michigan to statehood and designed the state's Coat of Arms. President Andrew Jackson appointed him Secretary of War in 1831 and later minister to France. In 1848 he was the Democratic candidate for president, but lost to Zachary Talor. Later, he became President James Buchanan's Secretary of State, but resigned when Buchannan refused to respond decisively to South Carolina's secession and his refusal to reinforce Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina.
In 1833, the town of Cassville was laid out and made the county seat. By 1849, Cassville had a brick courthouse, three churches, seven stores, two hotels, and two colleges. The Cassville Female College and the Cherokee Baptist College.
The views of General Cass on slavery caused revulsion of feelings and the people of Cass County felt their county should be re-named after a Confederate hero. On December 8, 1861 the county changed the name from Cass to Bartow in honor of the gallant Francis S. Bartow, who perished at the head of his regiment in the opening battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Manassas. At the same time an effort was made to change the name of Cassville to Manassas without success.
Francis Stebbins Bartow was born September 6, 1816 (Virgo) in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia to a distinguished Georgia family. He was a graduate of Yale Law School and became a planter and slave owner. Bartow, a strong supporter of secession, was a delegate to the Georgia Secession Convention. His fervent secessionist stand led to his appointment to the Provisional Confederate Congress, and he served on the Flag and Seal, Engrossment and Military Affairs Committees, as well as serving as chairman of the Military Affairs Committee. Bartow became a captain in the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, a home-guard unit in which the sons of Savannah's leading families served. When the Confederate Congress voted to forbid people from holding both political and military office, Bartow chose to remain in the military and give up his political position. The Oglethorpe Light Infantry was transferred to the 8th Georgia Infantry and Bartow was elected Colonel of this infantry on June 1, 1861 and Brigadier General P. A. C. S., prior to his death. Bartow and his troops headed to the Shenandoah Valley to take part in the Battle of Manassas. Only half of his troops, however, were able to arrive in time to fight. Bartow himself took the forward position, leading his troops in a charge down Henry Hill. There he was mortally wounded, and was reported to have said as his last words, "They have killed me boys, but never give up the field." A few minutes later, on July 21, 1861, Bartow died. There is a Historical Marker for Francis S. Bartow at the Manassas National Battlefield Park in Manassas, Prince William County, Virginia
After the destruction of Cassville by the forces of General Sherman in 1864 the county seat was changed to Cartersville, then a small, thriving town on the Etowah River. Cartersville was named for Farish Carter, Esq., perhaps the wealthiest land owner in the State during the ante-bellum period. The town was incorporated by an Act of Legislature approved February 5, 1850.
State of Georgia
The last of the 13 British colonies on the Atlantic seaboard, Georgia was founded on February 12, 1733 at the present site of the city of Savannah. It was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January 2, 1788 (Capricorn). It seceded from the Union on January 21, 1861 (Aquarius) and was one of the original seven Confederate states. It was the last state readmitted to the Union, on July 15, 1870 (Cancer).
General James Edward Oglethorpe (December 22 1696 – June 30, 1785) (a 01 degree Capricorn) was an English general, a philanthropist, and a founder of the state of Georgia. He was born in London, the son of Sir Theophilus Oglethorpe (1650-1702) of Westbrook Place, Godalming in the county of Surrey. A social reformer in England, he hoped to resettle England’s poor, especially those in debtor’s prison, in the New World.
The last of the 13 British colonies on the Atlantic seaboard, Georgia was founded on February 12, 1733 at the present site of the city of Savannah. On June 9, 1732, King George II granted a charter to Oglethorpe and a group of 20 friends, organized as trustees, to establish a colony named for the king. Oglethorpe's concern for the poverty and unemployment in England motivated him to help relieve the poor from the harsh conditions found in debtors' prisons. It was also hoped that founding a new colony would increase trade and wealth and provide a buffer for South Carolina against attack by the Spanish, the French and the Indians
The Royal Charter for the colony of Georgia was officially certified on June 9, 1732. 114 passengers left Gravesend, England on the Anne, a 200-ton frigate commanded by Captain John Thomas. The ship was crowded, but the voyage went smoothly. Two sickly children died on the trip, yet in general the company stayed healthy. A baby, Georgius Warren was christened on November 12 and the passengers celebrated Oglethorpes birthday with a special dinner at Christmas. The company finally sighted Charles Town, South Carolina on January 13, 1733.
Oglethorpe gave a copy of the Georgia Charter to the Governor of South Carolina. A scribe made another copy in 1734, which South Carolina gave to Georgia in 1965. The Secretary of States Office displays the 1734 Charter in the State Capitol on Georgia Day.
The Georgia settlers left South Carolina in a group of small boats on January 30 and landed at Yamacraw Bluff, 17 miles up the Savannah River. Oglethorpes first official act was to kneel with the company to offer thanksgiving and prayer.
Four large tents were erected that night, but soon Oglethorpe was busy laying out the land lots for Savannah. The first child in the colony, Georgia Close, was born on March 17, but she died ten months later. Fortifications and a few houses were erected by summer, but life was very hard for the first year. Pure water was lacking, illness spread in the muggy climate and many died.
Fortunately, the colony received some assistance from South Carolina and help from the Yamacraw Indians, whose old chief Tomo-chi-chi proved to be a lasting friend to Oglethorpe.
As more colonists arrived, the Trustees hoped that Georgia could produce silk, wine and other semitropical goods. Nearly 500 pounds of raw silk - the most gathered in one year under the Trustees - were sent to England in 1751, but the trade in silk never succeeded as the Trustees hoped. Sitting in London, the Trustees did not have a realistic view of life in Georgia.�Many colonists came from the cities and did not understand farming.�It was harder to grow food than the Trustees expected.�While there were good harvests in 1738 and 1739, there were many years when food had to be imported. Though the Trustees were trying to protect the settlers when they prohibited rum and slaves, many of the colonists disliked these rules. After Parliament refused the Trustees request for funds in 1751, the Trustees disbanded.�The colony came under the Kings control and the first Royal Governor, Captain John Reynolds, arrived in Savannah on October 29, 1754.
By that time, the colonists were already celebrating Georgia Day in memory of the first landing at Yamacraw Bluff. William Stephens, Secretary of the Province of Georgia from 1737 to 1750, wrote in his journal that the day was marked by the firing of guns, the hoisting of the flag and the drinking of toasts. He hoped that Ages to come will celebrate this Day annually here...
The Georgia Legislature gave legal recognition to the celebration in 1909 and recommended that public schools of the state hold special ceremonies each year.
In recent years, Georgia Day has been celebrated most colorfully in Savannah, where people hold parades, parties and historic programs.
