Shown here is the chart for the Nov. 26 Saturn-Neptune square drawn for Cairo.  Notice that a Grand Trine comprising Neptune and the TNPs Hades, Kronos and Poseidon in anchored to the IC. The IC or the fourth house cusp is associated with cultural history as well as all things hidden underground [1]. Martha Wescott provides the following keywords for the TNPs [2].

KRONOS: Authoritative positions or authority figures.
POSEIDON: Religion.
HADES: Past or history.

Combining the meaning of the three TNPs we can see that the Grand Trine  can be easily referring to an ancient high priest. Let us also remember that Neptune [7pi] is conjunct the stars of the Chinese asterism Wei which presided over tombs and graves. Another name for this asterism was Kia-Ou which Schlegel interprets as “The Last House of the Master”[3].
