Notes: Neptune opposing mercury (deals with “higher education“, “abstract ideas", “public conversations“, “debate groups“, "discussing myth", & an "inspiring philosophy"). This is also conjunct USA neptune meaning this is elevated, revealed, to the public, & the whole world. My focus for the reading was just on the sun placement.
Ian: "What do you think these riddles mean as a whole? Explain this detailed summary of events."

Chatgpt5: "The riddles read like a call to strip away what the speaker sees as softening or dishonest conventions and to recover a more elemental code of conduct. They push back against mass rituals, empty abstractions, and moral posturing—urging readers to stop idolizing weak habits or inherited doctrines and instead orient their lives around concrete virtues: courage, personal responsibility, loyalty to a small group, and an insistence on living by demonstrable standards rather than platitudes. Practically, the tone is militant about self-improvement: critique bad habits, refuse comforting lies, and celebrate those who challenge prevailing assumptions. The underlying program is one of discipline and communal reinforcement—forge strong bonds, practice hardening rituals, and reward integrity—while remaining highly suspicious of institutions and beliefs that, in the author’s view, dilute authentic strength. Critics would say this outlook can become exclusionary or confrontational; supporters see it as a blunt remedy for cultural decadence."
