Love these ponderings Adam! I picked up my son from his fathers this morning and the first thing he told me was about Trump's NFT collection and then showed me some of the images and I swear I am not shocked but I cannot help myself from feeling shocked. I was looking at the Aries point today trying to understand the reason for Draconic Astrology and why the NN on Aries point is used. I get it but I have to admit, I do not understand. The nodal axis moves backwards. The NN is home in Ardra at the Summer Solstice. The only thing I have been famous for is leaving the story of the girl who had a seagull poop in her mouth when she looked up at the birds on a boat on lake Michigan during her 8th grade class trip on April Fools Day and the girl who left the legacy of speed bumps in her high school parking lot after being hit by a van going 40mph while walking to school on April Fools Day her Freshman year and traumatizing everyone as she stumbled across the campus with her face covered in blood and smiling and waving at everyone telling them she was ok and did not need any help. I think my most favorite image in this post is the one where you have Jupiter and Chiron tucked inside the Aries Glyph or perhaps it the constellation of Pisces? Chiron and Jupiter tucked in the middle there where the ancient egyptians saw The Field, the Great Square in Pegasus, The Funeral Pyre in Vedic. I have been thinking about Pegasus and the Huma Bird in Persian Mythology "The Bird of Fortune" who like the phoenix undergoes death and rebirth from its ashes. The Huma Bird is depicted above the throne of Sultans because it is said that whomever is overshadowed by the shade of the bird will become like that of a King but even a good man/woman aka Human, with all the love in their heart, without wisdom, falls victim to the guidance of fear and it is through the experiences fear offers that the seed of wisdom finds the nutrients it needs to grow. I like the lyrics to Iron and Wine's Love Song of the Buzzard "The Spring time and the promise of an open fist, a tattoo of a flower on a broken wrist, Lucy tells me jokingly to wipe her brow, with a pocket map to heaven as the sun goes down" not sure if this of any use as you question the use of the Aries Point. Maybe it is a Fall into Grace and not the Rise of Fame.
