Choose a leader and explore the sky of their recorded birth date through Babylon’s Hebrew letters, twelve heart chambers and five rulers. The Sun is Father’s Light; the Moon is reflection.

Birth month: February
Calculated from the Sun’s longitude on the reconciled date, not from the month’s name.
Mount Vernon explicitly identifies both calendar forms of this single birth. The change is eleven days plus the English pre-March year-number adjustment.
One calculation date. Equivalent Old Style and New Style labels do not create a second birthday.
One physical birth date, displayed Gregorian; retain the historical label in the evidence detail.
Mount Vernon’s birthday timeline labels February 11, 1731 Julian and February 22, 1732 Gregorian. These identify the same physical day.

Outer letters: the twelve heart chambers. Moving letter markers: five rulers and two luminaries. Select a marker to follow it.
The first letter identifies the light, reflection or ruler. The second identifies its heart chamber at the selected sample time.

Babylon’s Moon–Sun geometry · at the sample time
The forward Moon–Sun arc is 311.9°. Babylon divides this arc into ten 36° bands. These fixed Tree stations are separate from the twelve heart chambers and the twenty-two letter paths. This is a snapshot of the method’s geometry, not a permanent identity assigned to the person.
These lines describe geometry. A right angle is 90°; opposite positions are 180°. Moving closer means the next hour brings the pair closer to that angle. Geometry itself is not good or bad.
It places the Sun, Moon and five rulers on a sourced date using Babylon’s letter map. Without a recorded time, the Moon and some chamber boundaries remain time-sensitive. Move the sample hour to see this. For reconciled dates near a chamber boundary, the birthday register retains possible chambers across a broader window for unknown civil time zones, refined when a documented birthplace supports a narrower local-day envelope. This is birth-hour uncertainty, separate from a calendar or source-date dispute.
The twelve heart chambers are Babylon’s symbolic cycle. They are not twelve local natal houses, and no Ascendant or rising sign has been invented. The chart does not infer the founder’s character, intentions or historical decisions.
The Hebrew letters are the language of this chart
A moving letter tells you which light or ruler you are following. Its place on the outer ring tells you which heart chamber it occupies. The letter’s teaching stays the same when a different ruler enters it.
The calendar changed in their lifetimes
Britain and its American colonies changed their civil calendar in 1752, while many founders were alive. Independence followed in 1776; the Constitution followed in 1787.
The legal year began on January 1 instead of March 25. Then September 2 was followed by September 14, bringing the date count into the Gregorian system. Eleven date labels were omitted; the succession of days and the moving sky continued.

For this birth, the modern Gregorian month is February and the Sun falls in Babylon’s ק Kof · The Hidden. The month name alone does not determine the letter. The year-number change applies to this winter birthday. The conversion does not mean that Washington was born again or that an extra year elapsed.

Astronomy Engine 2.1.19 calculates Earth-centered longitudes. Babylon’s twelve letter chambers are placed in twelve equal 30° sectors from the March equinox for this view. Historical star-constellation boundaries are different. The letter map is Babylon’s teaching layer on the calculated positions.
For comparison with an ephemeris: Hey = Aries; Vav = Taurus; Zayin = Gemini; Chet = Cancer; Tet = Leo; Yod = Virgo; Lamed = Libra; Nun = Scorpio; Samech = Sagittarius; Ayin = Capricorn; Tzadi = Aquarius; Kof = Pisces. These names are included only as a coordinate key.
The Sun and Saturn on July 4, 1776 at 12:00 UT were independently checked against JPL Horizons, both within 0.001°. This checks two bodies at one instant.
View the numerical checkA pre-reform date may be Julian, or a later source may already have converted it. We retain the documented reading. When the source leaves the calendar unclear, the letter and full birth chart stay pending; hypothetical calendar readings are preserved in the research download rather than treated as verified birthdays. Generic Julian conversion assumes a January-start year number; documented March-boundary changes are handled in the birth record.
Sky geometry does not establish that the founders used Babylon’s system or chose a date astrologically. A historical claim needs its own document.
