Weekly Roundup: Behind-The-Scenes Domestic Machinations, Final Judgement, A Deal & Questions Of Loyalty

Week ending 4th/5th March 2023

So we had the “House” (neighbourhood, family, locale) turning up in three readings this week, once relating to an ending, one to falseness, one to the upturning of something that had once been a foundation.

As an aside, news-wise, it strikes me that there do seem to be common themes around at the moment; big foundation-shaking reveals and leaks of what’s been “really” going on behind the scenes seem unstoppable, whether it’s Fox News and elections, Royal familial feuds and PR campaigns, or the release of every one of ex UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock’s WhatsApp texts to and about colleagues and the public during Covid lockdowns in full to the press this week. Meanwhile, in the US, we saw the conviction of former powerful bastion of the community Alex Murdaugh for the brutal murders of his wife and son. Dark forces under the surface indeed, and a reminder that nobody, no matter how powerful they become, gets to be immune. Truth always seems to out in the end.
