On February 3, the US House Judiciary Committee published a 160-page investigation into how the EU systematically pressures social media companies to alter internal guidelines and suppress content. It found Brussels orchestrated a “decade-long campaign” to censor political speech across the bloc. In many cases, this amounted to direct meddling in political processes and elections of members, often using EU-endorsed civil society organizations. The report features several case studies of this “campaign” in action in EU member states, the gravest example being Romania. https://www.rt.com/news/632732-eus-quiet-war-on-democracy/

( P1: Sibly prog Sun P2: EU radix asteroids)
The astrological setup in the Solar Fire report above shows the progressed Sibly Sun (representing the evolving identity, vitality, and core purpose of the United States, from the July 4, 1776, chart) making square aspects (90-degree tensions, often manifesting as challenges, confrontations, or turning points) to the EU's radix (natal) positions of Siwa (also spelled Siva), Toro, and Kronos. These are tight orbs in the list, with exact or near-exact hits clustered around 2018–2024–2027, but as Martha Lang-Wescott emphasizes, the focus should be on the unfolding process over exact dates—using a wider 10-degree orb for asteroids/Transneptunians like these to capture the thematic arc rather than pinpoint moments. Wescott's delineations (as provided ) paint a picture of bullying, intimidation through authority/law/rank, destructive use of power by those "high up," and crises that force lessons through breakdown or forceful confrontation:
Siwa/Toro: Lessons learned through bullying, beating, or harsh force; something important about life emerges only via intense pressure or catabolic (breakdown) experiences.
Kronos/Toro: Authority figures, experts, police, governments, or regulators using laws, status, regulations, or rank to bully/intimidate/abuse/threaten others.
Kronos/Siwa: High-level authorities/leaders can be destroyed or turn destructive; authority challenged leads to rampages over opinions, conformity to protocols, or destructive cycles enacted through governments/leaders.
These fit strikingly well with the reported behaviors and dynamics around the EU's actions and the US response. EU Leaders' Behavior (Kronos/Toro + Related Combos). The EU Commission (as a supranational "authority" body—Kronos vibes of high rank, regulations, executives) has been accused in the February 3, 2026, US House Judiciary Committee interim staff report of a decade-long pressure campaign on social media platforms. This includes coercing global content moderation changes, often framed as fighting "hate speech" or "disinformation" but allegedly targeting true political speech (e.g., on COVID, migration, transgender issues). The report highlights over 100 closed-door meetings since 2020, threats of massive fines (up to 6% global revenue under the Digital Services Act), and election-interference patterns—especially in Romania, where the Commission allegedly pushed aggressive censorship (e.g., global takedowns of images/posts, rapid-response systems disadvantaging populist/conservative voices). This aligns closely with Kronos/Toro: using regulatory status/laws ("schedules of regulations") to intimidate/bully platforms and indirectly political actors, including threats/abusive actions by government-like entities.The destructive authority angle (Kronos/Siwa) appears in how EU "top-down" protocols (dicta from above) suppress dissent, with leaders potentially overreaching to destructive ends—e.g., the report notes bias against populist/conservative narratives, pre-election pressures in multiple states (Romania as "gravest"), and suppression that could undermine democratic processes. The "rampage" over challenged authority fits reactions to non-compliance (e.g., fines against platforms like X in late 2025).
The US "Turning On" the EU. The progressed Sibly Sun squaring these points suggests the US (Sun) is activated in tension/conflict with the EU's authority-bullying archetype. The US House Judiciary Committee's high-profile investigation, subpoenas to tech firms, public release of the 160-page report (detailing "Europe’s decade-long campaign to censor the global internet" and harm to American speech), and subsequent hearings (e.g., February 4, 2026) represent a direct challenge/confrontation. This "turning on" them—exposing, criticizing, and pushing back legislatively—mirrors the delineations: the bully/authority (EU's Kronos/Toro patterns) faces destruction or reversal when authority is challenged (Kronos/Siwa). The US, as a progressed Sun trigger, embodies the process of forcing a lesson through confrontation—perhaps highlighting how overreach invites backlash, or how "high up" power turns destructive and provokes a counter-force. Astrologically, squares demand resolution through action/tension; here, the US response (public exposure, potential countermeasures to protect free speech) acts as the "bullying" mirror or the crisis that breaks down fixated EU approaches. It's a classic Wescott-style unfolding: not obsessing over exact hits (e.g., the 2027 date in the list), but recognizing the broader thematic process of authority challenged, destructive cycles exposed, and lessons via forceful opposition.In short these delineations map remarkably onto the power dynamics: EU as the authoritative bully via regs/law, and the US as the challenger forcing accountability or breakdown. Such synchronicities highlight how mundane progressed aspects can illuminate real-world geopolitical friction.
