2021 Suez Canal Obstruction

The Ever Given, a container ship as long as the Empire State Building is tall, ran aground in the narrow Suez Canal due to a heavy, windy sandstorm, blocking traffic in both directions. (On any given day, 30% of the world's cargo ships move through that canal.) We might expect all sorts of trouble from the mundane charts, including the sandstorm itself, the ship grounding, and especially transportation and commerce blocking. A salvage company said it will take weeks, and possibly months, to dislodge the ship.
What do the charts look like for the biggest traffic jam in history?
The event chart shows the chaotic mess as clearly as can be - one of the best mundane examples of Eris to date: Eris 0°54' before Asc, Uranus 1°47' before Asc, Pluto 4°12' before MC (and Moon 4° from IC). It was the day of Mercury square Mars, which we might expect to see on angles for daily timing. (Probably the single biggest surprise - and disappointment - is the utter lack of Mercury after the initial on-point setup by the Capsolar.)
Year/Quarter: Capsolar {+2}
(We begin with the single most common aspect for transportation disasters, Me-Ur, partile, wrapped up with Mars.)
Moon 0°56' from IC
Mercury, Mars, & Uranus widely angular
-- Mercury-Uranus sq. 0°16' mundo
-- Mars-Uranus sq. 2°44' mundo

-- Mars sq. non-foreground Saturn 0°34' eclipto & Jupiter 1°39' mundo

Event window: March 22-25

(Are sandstorms like tornadoes? If so, Sun-Neptune foreground is perfect! Otherwise, it's at least worth +1.5, which probably tips to +2.)
