You can ignore whatever modern new-age astrology comes up with about astrology. Modern, new-age astrology is crap and is highly inaccurate. There is far too much emphasis on sun sign and the meaning of planets or aspects is butchered.
Casting a chart for an event, like the founding of a country or a business, is valid but modern resources on horary astrology are crap. You can cast a chart for an event and use the resources on Azazel's Astrology for Satanists to interpret the chart. For example, countries have natal charts, solar returns, transits. etc. High Priestess Maxine Dietrich talks about the chart of the USA in the post below.
