Wizard Weekly by Daniel Giamario | May 17, 2026 |
I am beginning to write this Wizard Weekly as the Moon is new at 25Taurus58. Only 27 minutes earlier, Mars exactly aligned with Chiron at 28Aries24. Last Tuesday/Wednesday, Mars joined with Eris. Having cleared their exact conjunctions, Eris and Chiron are now slowly separating.
This rare Mars-Chiron alignment has not happened since 1971. Let’s consider what it might mean and intend.
In past investigations I have suggested that a main theme is around Chaos, and whether that chaos is intentional or natural or both. At the end of ages, like the one we are traversing now, Great Mystery-Creator employs chaos to compost and reset creation. This has occurred many times before. This Great Turning, amplified by the end of Kali Yuga, is the time of materialism and the deepest descent of Spirit into matter. It cannot get any deeper. To accomplish this, many natural forces can be agencies: Solar Plasma, magnetic pole shifts, cosmic rays from Galactic Center, asteroid impacts etc.
But what about the part that is intentional chaos?
Agents of Intentional Chaos
The last Chiron-Eris alignment of 1971-1972 was an important time where the powers that shouldn’t be reset the financial and geopolitical world order. The Vietnam War had bankrupted the United States. On August 13 1971, with Chiron at 13Aries32 and Eris at 12Aries56, President Nixon suspended the US dollars’ convertibility to gold, ending the Bretton Woods agreement and ushering in a floating fiat currency system. The Petrodollar system soon followed to maintain US dollar hegemony. Earlier that year, on January 24, the organization to become the World Economic Forum (WEF) was birthed with Chiron at 6Aries30 and Eris at 11Aries43 – the next level of the foundation for globalism.
Meanwhile, also in 1971, Elon Musk was born on June 28 with Chiron at 13Aries42 and Eris at 13Aries02. In the just completed Shanghai Meetings between Trump and Xi, along with scores of oligarchs, the next next level transformation of the financial and geopolitical world order was negotiated. Perhaps in this case, history does more than just rhyme? Elon Musk was the only oligarch there with ties to all four factions of the currently most operational “powers that shouldn’t be” that have designs on controlling the world:
- the Tech Bros / Silicon Valley
- US-Israel hegemonic imperialism/military industrial complex
- the financial industrial complex
- National Sovereign multipolarity – China, Russia, Iran and a few others.
This enmeshment makes Musk a perfect agent of chaos, along with Trump. The Shanghai Meetings occurred while Mars was transiting Eris and had almost made it to Chiron, their conjunction having been at 28Aries24.
It is my contention that these unelected billionaire oligarchs are agents of chaos and are attempting, through intentional chaos and destruction, to impose their elitist vision of a reset. This includes, among other things, everything digital, AI, and a global surveillance apparatus. They may succeed in the short term, but not the long term. Because simultaneously, so many people are waking up and choosing a different timeline in this extremely accelerated bifurcation: A timeline as pure humans in connection with Spirit, Heart, Soul and our Divinity.
Natural Evolution
Looking from a different perspective, more in alignment with natural evolution, Dane Rudhyar’s Sabian Symbol for 29 Aries is quite interesting:

“(ARIES 29°): THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.
KEYNOTE: Attunement to cosmic order.
At the fourth stage of a five-fold sequence a technique is often presented. It is based on the experiences implied in the preceding symbols. In this case, what the individual who has entered into a new realm of possibilities of action should learn is the harmonic principles operating in this realm. The music of the spheres is the celestial embodiment of principles of polyphonic interplay. The individual advancing ‘on the Path’ should seek to understand and realize his place in the vast scheme of mankind’s evolution, in the immense Chord of the harmony of the universe.
The message to the seeker for meaning which is implied in this symbol is TO LISTEN TO THE INNER VOICE; to listen without personalizing this Voice in a glamour-producing manner. It is the Voice of the Whole, of which one begins to realize that one is a tiny little part – yet a significant part, for every note of the universal Chord has its place and its ineradicable meaning.”
These thoughts are resonating so much with our understanding of
the essence of the Mystery School of Aries:
to commit to defending and upholding the Cosmic Order of Great Mystery.
What’s Next?
On Sunday, Mercury aligns with Uranus (and the Pleiades) at 1Gemini14, followed by the yearly Sun-Uranus conjunction on Friday at 1Gemini30. Uranus certainly remains in sharp focus. Rudhyar’s Sabian Symbol offers an unexpected and welcome clue for navigating these times:
“(GEMINI 2°): SANTA CLAUS FURTIVELY FILLING STOCKINGS HANGING IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.
KEYNOTE: A rewarded faith in spiritual blessings.
The popular allegory refers to the spiritual blessings which come to the ‘pure in heart,’ whose consciousness is likened to that of a little child. Polarized by eager expectation and faith in the existence of celestial Powers, the pure consciousness as yet un-solidified by ego and rationalistic arguments experiences the concrete manifestation of what it had imagined. In this symbol, Santa Claus acts ‘furtively.’ The gifts from an imagined and intensely believed in spiritual world must not be examined closely or at length by the reasoning intellect. The would-be clairvoyant is told not to look straight and intently at what he begins to ‘see’; instead he should cast sideways glances at it, since the sharply focused mind would make the apparition vanish.
At this second stage of the thirteenth five-fold sequence we have once more a symbol in contrast to the one for the first stage. In order to discover the wonders of the normally unconscious depths of the collective psyche, the individual has to build the proper kind of vehicle (a glass-bottomed boat); but the reception of new blessings from the spiritual realm above (the superconscious) requires mostly faith and purity of heart, and a common type of understanding (stockings) — thus a state of INNOCENCE.”
It’s “almost funny”
Uranus expands Gemini into a higher objectivity and a cosmic overview, and Gemini brings to Uranus divine comedy. It’s “almost funny” as my wife likes to say. Maybe a good strategy is to laugh at the ridiculousness of these oligarchs and their self-importance. Indigenous people would always lampoon anyone who took themselves too seriously. We need to remember that.
I am reminded of some lyrics from Tim Buckley’s 1967 song “Goodbye and Hello”, with lyrics by Larry Beckett:
“The king and the queen in their castle of billboards
Sleepwalk down the hallways dragging behind
All their possessions and transient treasures
As they go to worship the electronic shrine
On which is playing the late, late commercial
In that hollowest house of the opulent blind
And I wave goodbye to Mammon
And smile hello to a stream”
“The vaudeville generals cavort on the stage
And shatter their audience with submachine guns
And Freedom and Violence, the acrobat clowns
Do a balancing act on the graves of our sons
While the tap-dancing Emperor sings, ‘War is peace’
And Love the Magician disappears in the fun
And I wave goodbye to murder
And smile hello to the rain.”
NOTE: For those who enjoy geopolitics, I recommend the videos of Simon Dixon and the Substacks of Courtenay Turner and “The Margins”.
