"Common Sense" Is Back: UK Finally Scraps Non-Crime Hate Incident Laws Nationwide

Presented here is a precession-corrected solar return chart for the UK, dated January 1, 1801, at 0:00 LMT in London. The chart shows Saturn and Neptune in Pisces on the Midheaven (MC), which is a significant placement given the context of the news about non-crime hate incident laws being scrapped in the UK and the contrasting situation in the EU regarding censorship. 

Analysis of the UK Solar Return Chart: Saturn and Neptune in Pisces on the MC:The MC represents the public life, reputation, and the collective direction of a nation. Saturn in Pisces on the MC suggests a period where traditional structures and boundaries are being reevaluated or dissolved, aligning with Lynn Bell's [1] description of Saturn in Pisces losing its footing and undermining restrictive systems. 

Neptune's presence amplifies this dissolution, bringing a sense of uncertainty but also potential for healing and transformation. The combination of Saturn and Neptune here indicates a time where the UK is navigating through a period of significant change in how it manages public discourse and legal frameworks, particularly around issues of speech and censorship. 

Response to Saturn in Pisces:The scrapping of non-crime hate incident laws can be seen as a positive response to this astrological transit. It reflects a move towards loosening restrictive systems, as Saturn in Pisces might suggest, and a rejection of irrational responses that could have been projected onto others (as Bell notes). 

This action aligns with the "healing release of outworn structures" that Bell describes, where the UK is making structural changes to eliminate what might be seen as disenfranchisement of free speech, much like the end of apartheid in South Africa was a structural change to eliminate racial disenfranchisement.

 

Contrast with the EU Situation : EU Natal Chart and the September 21 Solar Eclipse:The EU's natal chart, dated January 1, 1993, at 0:00 CET in Brussels, places the September 21, 2025, solar eclipse at 29 degrees Virgo on the Ascendant. This eclipse opposes Saturn and Neptune in Pisces on the Descendant. 

 The opposition suggests a tension between the EU's identity and its external relationships, particularly around issues of control and dissolution. 

Von der Leyen's Comments and Censorship:Ursula von der Leyen's statements, as highlighted in the X post by @DaveAtherton20 [2] , reflect a different response to the same astrological influences. The eclipse on the Ascendant, opposite Saturn/Neptune, might be manifesting as a defensive stance where the EU is tightening control over information, ostensibly to protect against disinformation but perceived by critics as censorship. 

The square aspect from transiting Mars and the Sun in early to mid-December 2025 to the eclipse point have intensified this tension, possibly triggering actions or statements that exacerbate the conflict between free speech and control.

The EU's solar return chart, with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces on the Descendant, underscores the same astrological themes of dissolving boundaries and reevaluating control structures as the UK's chart.  

Comparative Analysis UK vs. EU Responses:The UK's decision to scrap non-crime hate incident laws can be seen as embracing the transformative potential of Saturn in Pisces, allowing for a reevaluation and loosening of control that aligns with the astrological theme of dissolving boundaries. 

In contrast, the EU's approach, as exemplified by von der Leyen's stance, appears to be resisting this dissolution, opting instead for a more controlling measure that might be seen as a projection of irrational responses onto others, as Bell warns against. 

Conclusion: The astrological configurations, particularly Saturn and Neptune in Pisces on the UK's solar return MC and the EU's eclipse on the Ascendant opposite Saturn/Neptune, provide a framework to understand the divergent responses to similar themes of control and freedom. The UK's move towards scrapping non-crime hate incident laws reflects a positive adaptation to the dissolving boundaries of Saturn in Pisces, while the EU's approach, as seen through von der Leyen's comments, indicates a struggle with these same influences, potentially leading to a perception of censorship. The transits of Mars and the Sun in December 2025 further amplify these dynamics, bringing them into sharper focus and action. This astrological perspective offers a lens through which to view these political and social developments, suggesting that the underlying tensions are part of a larger cosmic narrative of transformation and reevaluation. 

For individuals with Saturn-Neptune in Pisces transiting their natal charts, particularly those who have repressed parts of themselves craving expression, this period can be profoundly transformative. Saturn's presence brings structure and discipline, while Neptune in Pisces dissolves boundaries, creating a tension that can lead to a release of these repressed aspects. This transit might manifest as a push to confront and integrate these suppressed parts, often through creative, spiritual, or emotional outlets. The dissolution of old restrictions (Saturn) combined with the idealistic, boundary-less energy of Neptune can facilitate a healing process, allowing individuals to express what was once held back, potentially leading to a sense of liberation and joy. However, it may also initially feel confusing or overwhelming, as the familiar structures of repression are challenged. The key is to navigate this period with self-awareness, using the discipline of Saturn to channel Neptune's energy constructively, perhaps through therapy, art, or spiritual practices, to fully embrace and express these repressed aspects.
