Although Virgo has great relevance for the Federal city, I want to focus on the Dragon’s
               Head, which is referred to by the Latin name Caput draconis. Ovason points out that the
               Latin Caput, meaning “head,” is the root of the English words capital, and capitol.


               It is noteworthy when the President’s House is attended by a Masonic cornerstone laying
               ceremony at a moment when the influence of the Dragon’s Head is observed in the heavens.
               The Dragon’s Head’s influence is seen again the following year. On September 6, 1793, the
               first Federal Masonic Lodge in the nation is formed. This is Federal Lodge No. 15, and
               James Hoban, the architect of the White House, is appointed as Worshipful Master. Ovason
               writes, “One presumes that the Lodge had been formed precisely to ensure that a Federal
               group would attend the cornerstone ceremony (for the Capitol building), which had been
               widely advertised in Maryland and Columbia.”

                                                       th
               (Note that the year 1793 is also the 18  year of American independence, 18 being 6+6+6.)
















               Symbol for Dragon’s Head and Tail - Nodes of the Moon

               Ovason drew up a horoscope for the date on which this Federal Lodge was granted its
               charter. He states:

               “I imagine that the petition must have been presented shortly after teatime, when the
               Moon was still in Virgo. That meant that the chart had three planets (Sun, Moon, and
               Mercury) in Virgo, along with the Dragon’s Head, the Caput draconis.”

               Even as we observed that “the headquarters of the American revolution” was a building
               called the Green Dragon Tavern, we find that the influence of the dragon continues to have
               great significance in the founding of the nation’s capital city, its chief buildings, and the first
               Federal Lodge of Freemasonry.


               The laying of the Capitol building cornerstone was a major event, widely publicized, and
               attended by a great crowd of people. According to Ovason and other sources, the event
               included the roasting of a 500 pound ox. This is reminiscent of ancient sacrifices to Baal.


               I Kings 18:25
               So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one ox for yourselves and prepare it first for
               you are many, and call on the name of your god...”
