The EU Is Treating Poland Like a Colony

 

The EU is behaving more and more like some kind of imperial power. Its latest spat with Poland is a case in point. The row has been rumbling on for several years, ever since Poland’s governing Law and Justice Party (PiS) changed the rules for appointing, disciplining and removing Polish judges. The politics of this has always been murky. Brussels wants Poland to reverse the changes, arguing that they compromise judicial impartiality. The EU says that this is not merely a domestic matter but a matter of EU law, because a Polish court might one day have to adjudicate on EU citizens’ rights. Unsurprisingly, the European courts, which have sensitive political antennae and are always looking to expand the EU’s powers, are backing the EU. This has set the stage for a constitutional showdown. https://anti-empire.com/the-eu-is-treating-poland-like-a-colony/

In an attempt to resolve the dispute, Polish premier Mateusz Morawiecki asked the Polish Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw this question: if push came to shove and EU law were ever to clash with the 1997 Polish constitution, which would prevail? The Polish Constitution came into effect on Oct. 17, 1997.  A chart for that date has Sun [24li] – Mercury [26li] square Neptune [27cp] which is essentially a Capricorn-Libra square.

About the signs Capricorn and Libra, Dane Rudhyar wrote:

Capricorn symbolizes any typical State-like-organization encompassing large territories and various racial groups, and all that goes with such an organization, especially politics and the play of power. The central authority must establish rigid patterns of government so as to hold under its impersonal rule many and diverse races, many trends of thought, many traditions.

Libra is the birth of the individual unit into the Greater Whole in which it is thenceforth to operate as a cell. The fall equinox marks the triumph of united action and social-cooperation over individualistic self-expression and  self-centeredness.

A square aspect between planets in Libra and Capricorn can thus test the limits of how much power the individual unit is willing to give up to remain a part of the larger collective.

The Oct. 20, 2021 Full Moon [27ar – 27 li] square Pluto [24cp] activating the Polish Constitution planets Sun [24li] – Mercury [26li] – Neptune [27cp] has resulted in the crisis mentioned in the news. In astrology terms it is simply a Libra-Capricorn standoff.

But as readers may already realized there are usually several charts that can explain an event. Here is the chart for the Sun’s ingress into sidereal Libra drawn for Warsaw. Notice, once again, the powerful  Libra – Capricorn Sun – Mars – Pluto  square aligned with the horizon.
