Month: July 2021

A petition calling for make verified ID a requirement for opening a social medial account draw my attention because few of my friends mention it today. This petition was originally created in March 2021. I was interested to see that this issue has been highlighted again after the racist abuse of England football players.  

• 

I totally understand that the original idea of this petition is for good, but I am very surprised that people in a western country are willing to sacrifice  freedom in exchange for protection, which I personally am a bit cautious of  because some countries take freedom of expression away from people. I am from a country that used to be a police state before 1980’s and was warned when I was 10 that something I said could put my family in prison.  This was a country where anonymity was important to protect those working to free the country, such as journalists and whistleblowers and also minority groups.

Looking at the other side of the World, only a week ago, Google have privately warned the Hong Kong government that they could stop offering their services in the city if authorities proceed with planned changes to data-protection laws that could make them liable for the malicious sharing of individuals’ information online. The Hong Kong government intention is to amend the data-protection law to crack down on the criticism of them from pro-democrats.

I know the situation in this petition and what is happening in Hong Kong are not the same, but interestingly they are on either end of the Freedom and Security spectrum. As an astrologer I am not surprised because we are under influence of Saturn Uranus square and one of the Saturn Uranus themes is Freedom and Security.

The Saturn Uranus square is a major theme of 2021, it has three exact square in February June and December, but basically it influences us whole year. Saturn as restriction, protection, limitation, Uranus want to break the rule, set it free, or rebel. We notice the impact of this aspect of pandemic,  financial market, politic and social movement.     

From last week we have Venus conjunct Mars and both planets will trigger Saturn Uranus square. We heard the gay nurse has been killed in Spain and leading protests in whole country earlier this week. Hungary pass anti LGBT law in the name of protecting family and children, however, this act will encourage the discrimination, including on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Now, EU urged to suspend funds to Hungary over ‘grave breaches of the rule of law’. Let us exam this from Mundane astrologer’s view. 

First let us focus on background ,  the conflict of different values between EU countries never stop, interestingly if we check most East European county were indecent from USSR around 89-93 , these immediately remind us most east European countries has Uranus, Saturn, Neptune triple conjunction in Capricorn. This is also the beginning of current Saturn – Uranus cycle, and we are in its waning cycle, what happened during that time are related to late 80’s and early 90s. 

This tell us most East European countries are facing big challenges , theses challenges remind us how their countries fight for? Since dissolving of the USSR and join the EU, why the country want to be part of E.U?  This waning square help people understand what we should keep and what we can let it go.  

This conflict is not the only discord in the EU recently, we notice the western part of Europe and east part of Europe has a different idea of the future , if you notice that Saturn is at 23 Aquarius in the Maastricht Treaty chart ( most important chart of EU), it tell us EU is facing it’s Saturn return, an important exam for E.U is happening now. Saturn is a plant about rule and principal , what does EU stand for ?      We notice next New Moon in 10th July 2021 the M.C will fulling on EU’s Saturn suggest the tension will last for another month between EU and Hungary.

Saturn, Uranus square and it square Hungary’s Pluto  ( and some East European countries ).  What is countries value ? What is the country’s future? What need to change ? Could we keep our tradition while we move forward? We notice East European countries are struggling during pandemic, threat of Russia and has a different opinion about China with Germany and France. Saturn, Uranus square Natal Pluto tell us at this moment they are experience biggest nightmare.  

After understanding the Saturn – Uranus square as outfield and form a T square with Natal Pluto  , now we can bring other planets in. We notice that Mars and Venus are triggering this set of T square and make it become Grand Cross. 

Hungary joins EU in 2004 when Neptune is at 14 degrees  Aquarius suggests a vision ( Neptune ) of a different future, an Aquarius flavour of humanitarianism, transiting Saturn, Uranus square form a T square with it, it is very clearly challenge the relationship between Hungary and EU.
