Mercury trine Eris
In Yankee Doodle Discord, Mercury trine Eris is shown to be a troublesome aspect. It took place in 1905 with transiting Eris trine the USA Mercury, and this was the era of the “muckrakers”, a group of journalists who rooted out corruption in the corporate world. This period also saw the dominance of “Yellow Journalism”, which had started in the previous decade and grown to immense power. Mercury trine Eris shows up in the chart of the attack on Pearl Harbor, in which there were numerous warning signs, but no one was paying attention. It also appears in the assassination chart of John F. Kennedy, who also ignored warning signs, even though people tried to tell him that Dallas was not the best place for him to visit. Sometimes the warnings are there, but they get lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
