‘Freedom Day’ rally in Australia






Dozens of arrests have been reported amid a heated anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne, Australia, where hundreds gathered to demand an end to Covid-19 measures, meeting a heavy police presence and at times clashing with officers. A sizable crowd descended on Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance on Saturday morning for the ‘Freedom Day’ rally, calling on state authorities to rescind Victoria’s stage-four coronavirus restrictions, which include a nightly curfew. https://www.rt.com/news/499920-melbourne-anti-lockdown-protesters-clashes/

In her excellent article Buckle Up for Mars Retrograde in Aries,  Pam Gregory [1] writes:

Mars is retrograde from September 9 to November 13, but the complete retrograde phase includes the shadow period, which encompasses the timespan between July 25 and January 2, 2021. During the second half of 2020, Mars squares Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto repeatedly.

These powerful transits are all linked to clashes concerning the use and abuse of power. This is one of the major themes of the Saturn–Pluto conjunction in Capricorn, and it is now being challenged by the squares from Mars. It’s possible that people will become much more assertive in response to abuses of power at this time. This entire retrograde period may be forceful, divisive, and inflamed.

To this we only need to add that the energy of Mars squaring Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto is likely to be felt very strongly in those places where significant mundane charts e,g. those of lunations, ingresses, stations etc bring them to the horizon or meridian axes.


 Here is the chart for the Sep. 2 Full Moon at Melbourne. Notice that the Mars square to  Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto aligns with the meridian axis so that its energy is seen boiling over in the Freedom Day rally.




PS:

Anti-lockdown protesters in Berlin are planning a large-scale demonstration at the weekend. A court on Friday scrapped the ban imposed by the state's authorities. Police are preparing for all eventualities. Aug. 28

The chart for the August New Moon at Berlin says it all. Notice that here too Mars square Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto is aligned with the meridian.
