Notes: Here are some interesting things that happened when Pluto was discovered. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 triggered The Great Depression resulting in high rates of unemployment & poverty; drastic reductions in liquity, industrial production, trade, widespread bank & buisness failures around the world. There was also Political Turmoil & Conflict such as the Chittagong Rebellion where the indian revolutionaries led an armed uprising against colonial authorities marking a significant event in the Indian independence movement. You also had the rise of totalitarian regimes such as the Nazi Party in Germany becoming the 2nd largest party in the Reichstag setting the stage for Hitler's rise to power along with Stalin's widespread purges in the Soviet Union. For the reading, I took venus conjunct & neptune opposing Sun.

Ian: "what do you think these riddles mean as a whole? Explain this detailed summary of events."
Chatgpt o1: "These riddles revolve around the revelation of a distant, small object in our solar system that once garnered substantial attention from astronomers. Initially hailed as a major addition to the planetary lineup, this “mysterious ball” stirred excitement among researchers who were eager to better understand the outer reaches of cosmic space. Over time, however, its status shifted—a disappointment for those who had hoped for another full-fledged planet. Still, the sense of discovery persisted, and many praised the effort by the dedicated team who confirmed its existence through patient observation and precise calculations. Meanwhile, the riddles draw parallels between this far-off realm and myths tied to a fearsome deity ruling an underworld of judgment and torment. The wordplay hints at the realm’s sinister connotations—imagery of demons, devils, and an “unholy wasteland” fosters a mood of otherworldly power and dread. Some lines suggest that this “underworld lord” plays a part in punishing evildoers, creating an almost poetic link between the cold, shadowy outpost and the notion of inescapable doom. The end result is a curious blend of scientific discovery and mythological allusion, giving the distant orb an evocative aura beyond mere astronomy."
