Great article Ang, I do so love your literary analogies. Thank goodness for Jupiters ingress into Cancer bringing his much needed blessings to the place of his exaltation. The great benefic should provide some wisdom, grace and resilience as he is squaring Eris/Chiron by whole sign making him a significant part of the story untill June 2026. He’s also in mutual reception to the moon in the ingress chart, which is trining Eris & Chiron by whole sign. I’m in the process of delineating the ingress so haven’t anything further to add at the moment and it’s way past my bedtime!
Compelling article. I totally related to all of this, as I have Chiron/ Sun conjunction in the 12th. You have articulated much that was swimming in my consciousness but was not defined. I wonder about Lilith's square to Pluto's contribution as I have directly been impacted by the T square with Mars. Ankle break and surgery. Even so, this timing with only Chiron and Eris makes so much sense. Thank you.
It's been almost half a year, and in an unsolicited way please allow me to share an information that metaphorically, the ankle is about direction in life. Breaking an ankle is about not being able to continue on existing trajectory, a very powerful unconscious no. Stop. With Lilith square Pluto is it about power dynamics? Repressed desires? Forbidden desires? Unable to self realise? Trapped in some toxic illusion that things can be ok when actually they're not and never will be if things go on the same? Wishing you full healing and luminous breakthroughs!
Thanks for your time. Yes. It was an absolute stop and the most powerful and now beneficial experience of powerlessness that I have experienced. It was a privilege to surrender to and BE within the darkness and realise that it too is light. Confrontation of my deepest fears and a complete stop to activity initiated out in the world and the embodiment of my inner empowerment. I have been doing what I always taught and wrote about.(I had an Empowerment business for others) and now I am living ‘creating from being.’ Still prevented from walking ‘normally’ out in the world as I knew it and have been resting deeply for over 7 months now. We break those parts of ourselves that are not our authentic beings and purpose. Still no sense of purpose but just to be present.
I must raise one point of contention though. About Hamlet. He did kill his uncle, after all. I realize that the standard interpretation is that his uncertainty was his undoing, but think about it for a second. He was told by a ghost that it was his uncle that killed his father. Any sane man would have wanted some kind of confirmation. Hamlet sought it out, got it, then made a public spectacle of killing Claudius. He did not waste much time in that process. I can't imagine that Shakespeare was trying to make the point that we should listen to what ghosts tell us and kill our uncles based on it, and Hamlet somehow messed that up. It seems like there must be some other point to the story.
Aside from that, lots to contemplate here. Thank you.
Elliott, cheers for engaging so sharply, and to your point, allow me please:
Hamlet does swing the blade in the last act, yet it’s the lag, the obsessive probing, feigned madness, barbed play-within-a-play that matters to the analogy. For four full acts, we see him circling his hurt like Chiron: chronic, intellectualised, unstaunchable. Claudius thrives precisely because Hamlet keeps resheathing the sword to test proofs, debate ethics, scan the heavens. Only when the court is already poisoned does the Erisian impulse finally detonate, and he cuts Claudius down, —sadly too late to save himself, Ophelia, Polonius, the State. That tragic latency is the point: a wound that will not heal (Chiron) collides with discord that will not be contained (Eris), producing a cathartic yet ruinous “resolution”. We see this mirroring everywhere in our society today.
So, yes, ok, Hamlet acts, but it's the delay that exposes the cost of ruminating on pain until strife comes crashing through. That’s the cautionary thread I’m pulling forward: in our era the backlog of psychic and societal injuries is massive; if we don’t address them before Eris lights the fuse, the clean hit might arrive only after collateral damage is baked in. We're only at the beginning of some godawful, ruinous mess—so hang on...
Anyway, appreciate the pushback; certainly allows us to sharpen the argument. Cheers!
Excellent discussion! I’m a writer and I’ve been moving through some wounded territory that I’ve never consciously tread before, especially around buried feelings of indignation, and just as I was being shown dignity at the root of all this, all of a sudden Eris showed up with the weighty power of not needing to please anyone.
Thank you for your wording "death" about Virginia Giuffre. She never suicided. Her murder fits the archetype of the martyr. This quote by Søren Kierkegaard "the tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins" is apt in the sense that I want to believe that the time for truth is upon us and real justice and healing are on their way. And no, I don't think it will look pretty and many will be confused probably, as I see so many naive people refusing to understand healing is a process and not an instant outcome.
Fantastic review of the timelines of power and the death cult of modernity.
I always wondered why power has to be such a vacuum of fire and blood cult actions.
Is power that boring or unsafistying that the biome of humaness requires more than its share of natural disasters ergo some utopian sacrifice ???
It still baffles me like there is this egragore of war and genocide searching for the most venal and immoral to feed its unsated desires. possibly the moon with its obsidian crystal harmonisation with the human illusion?

This is more than my words can say, I truly appreciate your insightful wisdom as well as guidance for all of us.
This was fantastic.
Brilliant, simply brilliant.

Such a powerful and alchemising experience! Wishing you a clear sense of purpose (and if for now this is to BE, enjoy it fully!) ❤️
Thank you for the food for thought. Good stuff.

Some excellent pushback. Thank you.

Many thanks Sylvia. I looked at your website- you are doing great work with such clarity. Love it!
