Some of the fractions at the beginning of your excellent piece made me feel like a ping-pong ball.

For 25 years I worked dong conflict resolution in crisis mental health settings. I worked to resolve the differences being the negative and positive/ or the distressed the the calm. I did this by cultivating the neutral in myself. This also entailed moving to ally with the person in crisis empathizing and sympathizing without patronizing. And providing options / choices to continued distressed patterns.

As an astrologer I have some clients with oppositions. I encourage shadow work for them. I also find the midpoints of each of the oppositions in squares. Squares are growth angles in conflicts that seek to be resolved, as you may well know.

While I agree with many of the precepts of you piece, you seem to employ the neutral without naming it. Would you speak to the neutral in duality of the universe model?
