After all, there might have been no American Revolution&#8211;our nation&#8217;s First Cause for War&#8211;without their personal involvement in the founding of America.<\/p>\n<p>Here they are in chronological order of birth; all natal data but Paine&#8217;s have Rodden Ratings of AA. Paine&#8217;s hour of birth has been rectified and both times are given; however, since the Moon remained in Gemini the entire day of Paine&#8217;s birth, we may confidently use his natal Sun-Moon blend with the rest.<\/p>\n<p>The combined elements of the founding foursome show Franklin and Washington with practical Earth and Water blends (mud!), Jefferson with a high-flying, inspired Double Fire mix, and Paine possessing a Double Air (cerebral) blend. We may surmise that among these personalities, Franklin and Washington were on some practical level &#8216;on the same page&#8217; while Paine and Jefferson had their uplifting writing talents in common. And naturally, an Air-Air type such as author Paine would have had a difficult if not impossible task turning his revolutionary ideas into reality without the pragmatism of men such as Franklin and Washington and the supportive creative force of Thomas Jefferson.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>(Most of the following information is gleaned from <i>Sun Sign-Moon Sign<\/i> by Charles and Suzi Harvey; their &#8216;Images for Integration&#8217; may be useful for comparison along with a quote from each fellow and, in parentheses, a few examples of others who were born under the same Sun-Moon blends.
