Poland’s prime minister – a cross between Boris Johnson and Donald Trump – has been using inflammatory language about ‘guns to head’ and starting a third World War as the EU put its foot down about internal Polish moves to threaten the independence of the judiciary. The stand-off has already delayed approval of Poland’s €36bn Covid-19 economic recovery package from Brussels and further tens of billions of euros in annual EU funds paid to Warsaw could be at risk. The ruling conservative party with strong ties to the influential Catholic Church has also moved to curb independent journalism, with Poland down from 18th to 62nd place in the World Press Freedom Index — below Niger and Armenia – in the last six years.
Despite murmurings about a Polexit it is unlikely, with nearly ninety percent of the electorate wanting to stay in the EU.
What is clear is that the 2004 enlargement intake including Poland, Hungary, Malta, Slovenia etc is moving through a discontented and disillusioning phase with the 2004 tussle-for-the-upper-hand Pluto opposition Venus Mars being chipped away at by tr Neptune in square over the next three years. It was always going to be an intake which pressed heavy demands on the newcomers and made them feel dominated. At the moment as well – which could come to a head at New Year and through January – is the disruptive tr Uranus conjunct the 2004 Enlargement Taurus Sun.
The PM Mateusz Morawiecki on his 2nd term since 15 November 2019 is facing an enraging, trapped 2022/23 with tr Pluto square the Mars.
The Poland 24 August 1989 1.05 pm chart, if the start time is accurate, has tr Uranus moving across the Descendant in 202/23 which can be a relationship severing influence in the years following. The UK had similar for Brexit. There’s also a devastating Solar Arc Neptune square the Poland Pluto hitting late 2022 into 2023, followed by discouraging Solar Arc Saturn square Pluto in 2024.
Pluto in the 12th suggests a fair amount of dirty-dealing and power-hungry manipulation behind the scenes – so it may be the shadowy forces who are causing problems will be to some degree stonewalled. Plus at the moment the tr Uranus square tr Saturn is also bouncing off the Poland hidden Pluto – until early 2022. And that Pluto is opposition the EU Moon and square its Uranus so there was always going to be a standoff.

And there are Geminis as far as the eye can see. Orban (of Hungary) has a Gemini Sun; as does Mateusz Morawiecki – a Boris-like collection of Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars in Gemini square Uranus Pluto in Virgo; as does Jaroslaw Kaczynski, firebrand founder and leader of PiS and now Deputy PM with his Sun and Mars in Gemini. Who’d have thought Geminis would turn out – in some cases – to have such a dictatorial, narrow-minded, retrograde mindset. Mind you the Vatican 1929 chart has a New Moon and Mercury in Gemini which always struck me as odd.
The modern Poland 24 August 1989 1.05pm Warsaw chart, is in a confusing phase – upheavals, disruptions, rebellions, logjammed.
The EU Accession chart of 1 May 2004 looks equally rattled with a separating tr Saturn square the Taurus Sun and tr Uranus conjunct, picking up next month and continuing on throughout the year. A totally blocked Solar Arc Pluto opposition the Saturn late 2021. And there’s an undermining tr Neptune square the Pluto and Venus before moving onto an even more panicky-failure square to the Mars in 2022/23.
Diplomatic relations won’t be getting any easier anytime soon with the EU already threatening to withhold funds if community values are not upheld. In 2018 Poland was a net recipient of EU funds to the tune of twelve and a half billion euros.
Was going to ask re Poland Marjorie, but you were out of the tracks months ago with this.
Seems like the current invasion parallels what you describe here?
Geminis always strike me as cheerful opportunists. Perhaps the deep divisions over immigration and social justice issues is too good an opportunity to let slip by.
My mom who recently passed away, worked for the EU as an official, when it was still the EEC since the late 70’s. She would be appalled at what is going in Poland & Hungary. I don’t think those two & the way operate should be in EU they’re contrary to everything the EU stands for.
Certain Virgos or people with planets in Virgo (in this case) have also been disappointingly scary. And Bin Laden was a Pisces who definitely didn’t extend compassion to all humanity.
All Sun signs indeed appear to be capable of the worst, depending on their specific aspects, and how much money & power they have been able to attain.
It’s unfortunate but I don’t think that countries like Poland & Hungary & the way they are operating have a place in the EU. They are contrary to everything the EU stands for. My mom worked for the EU as an official for almost 50 years, she recently passed away, but she would be appalled at what is going on.
Thanks Marjorie.
