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.
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.
