best if you go to read it at the source, but it's the length of an essay, so I've extracted some paragraphs to point the case out. (Think good mason vs bad mason...)

Yet a key date in US political events has been changed.
Like a seed it has been planted into different types of soil, time of different quality. What were and are these qualities and have these changes been of service or disservice to the presidency?
the United States had
enshrined in its constitution that the inauguration would be held on March 4, unless that was a Sunday and then it was held on the March 5. However, with improvements in communication as well as travel, the lengthy time until the transition of power now seemed unnecessary and in 1933, with the passage of the Twentieth Amendment, the constitution was changed to move the date to January 20, unless that was a Sunday and then it was moved to January 21.
March 4, 1801 - Washington, DC and for the next hundred years the governing star took its position on the February 17th and these were the themes of that time:
THE ANNUAL THEMES THAT REOCCUR FOR THIS LATITUDE EVERY YEAR IN THIS ERA
Heliacal Rising Star
Deneb Algedi - Rising before Sunrise -
A time of the Establishment and the law
Heliacal Setting Star
Regulus - Setting before Sunrise -
A noble, righteous act that inspires the nation
Sun - The stars in paran with the Sun on this day
Setting when Alphecca
Strength and leadership found through hardship
Rising when Regulus
To engage in a noble, or military, endeavor
Rising when Mirach
The promotion of peace, or order, in a territory
January 20, 1937 - Washington, DC and for the next two or three decades the governing star took its position on the January 15th and these were the themes of that time:
THE ANNUAL THEMES THAT REOCCUR FOR THIS LATITUDE EVERY YEAR IN THIS ERA
Heliacal Rising Star
Acumen - Rising before Sunrise -
Scandal and rumors
Heliacal Setting Star
Capella - Setting before Sunrise -
A period which favors the independently-minded
Sun - The stars in paran with the Sun on this day
Setting when Schedar is Culminating -
The people, or an exalted woman, act with dignity
Rising when Algol is On Nadir -
A person who destroys through passion
On Nadir when Alpheratz is Setting -
To take independent action
Culminating when Altair is Culminating -
Bold or daring actions by a group or a person, military matters
Rising when Menkar is On Nadir -
A time of extremes of action, or weather
This is a vastly different theme to the March 4 date. Gone is the nobility, the honor, the action that inspires a nation. Not all presidents will be hounded by scandal and rumors and not all presidents will be driven to the extremes of the nuclear attack on Japan (symbolized by the joining of the two stars Algol and Menkar with the sun) but this is the soil in which the ritual of the inauguration was now planted. This is the potential into which the US presidents and thus US history are embedded from 1933 onwards.
