Amnesty International set up to promote and defend human rights has designated Beira’s Place, an Edinburgh women’s support centre for sexual assault victims founded by JK Rowling as “anti-rights”. Amnesty UK’s latest report, A Growing Threat – the Anti-Rights Movement in the UK, identifies organisations it categorises as part of the UK’s “gender critical” movement.
The report states: “Human rights are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. When the rights of one group are restricted, protections for others can also be weakened, even where the effects are not immediately visible.”
The opposing view from FWS (For Women Scotland) comments it “is only ‘anti-rights’ if you don’t consider women to be entitled to any rights in law or public life. It’s a sad state of affairs that Amnesty has sunk so low as to defame prominent women’s organisations, including a rape crisis centre and support networks for abused wives and children.”
The UK Supreme Court 16 April 2025 ruling was supposed to put an end to the argument when it stated that sex is rooted in a person’s biology at birth and there is no retrospective classification for sex, though there may be for gender for certain purposes. The biological definition allows for single-sex services and facilities (such as changing rooms, domestic abuse shelters, and hospital wards) to restrict access strictly to biological women.
And so it goes on.
I have given up on trying to pin an astrological timeline on the furore. Recently since 2012 Neptune in Pisces = delusional. Uranus in Taurus = anti-the-biology, rebelling against nature since 2019. The UK trans children’s centre set up as Uranus moved into Aquarius in the late 1990s, having been conjunct Neptune. Historically Neptune Uranus appears to have some connection.

Transactivism stalls – Pluto in Air sign? 10th March 2024.
The Supreme Court ruling, 16 April 2025 came as Neptune put a toe into Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius; with Uranus in last decan Taurus; and Saturn, North Node conjunct Scheat in late Pisces – so not quite into the new era.
Amnesty, 28 May 1961 London, has a Gemini Sun in a controlling square to Pluto; with Mars in high-vitality Leo in an enthusiastic, opinionated, zealous opposition to Jupiter square an idealistic Neptune (Moon). The Sun is sextile Jupiter and inconjunct Neptune and Scorpio Moon – upbeat but not always realistic.
Not a good fit with J.K.Rowling, 31 July 1965, though you would imagine they would in general be on the same side. But JKR’s Leo Sun clashes with Amnesty’s Mars for an argumentative chemistry and her JKR’s Uranus Pluto squares the Amnesty Sun for differing agendas.
The relationship chart has a toxic composite Mars Pluto conjunction hinting at a bitter, unyielding fight. Though it is in a composite yod sextile Neptune inconjunct Jupiter in Aries. Which might suggest a fated coming together which could have a beneficial effect for society.
Amnesty is set for an upheaval this August from tr Uranus square their Pluto; and ongoing pressure thereafter as tr Pluto is conjunct their Jupiter for over confidence in 2027/28 and a rapid fizzle out as tr Pluto moves to square Neptune and oppose the Mars into the end of the decade.
Stonewall, 24 March 1989, London, which hitched its wagon to the trans-cause after the LGB argument was largely won, is another Gemini organisation facing major changes with tr Uranus conjunct the Sun this year and tr Neptune as well starting the long haul in square to its triple conjunction Capricorn planets – square Uranus this year and moving onto Neptune Saturn towards the turn of the decade.
There is also a militant transgender group on the go, urging urging supporters to identify “transphobic” targets and then “hit them repeatedly until they desist from their activities”.
Calling themselves “Bash Back”, they have their origins in a historical radical LGBTQ+ anarchist network active in the US from 2007 to 2011 who embraced militant, confrontational tactics. More recently Bash Back (Modern UK Direct Action Group) surfaced in the UK in 2025, to oppose anti-trans legislation and the restriction of puberty blockers with illegal direct actions, including property damage and hacking. They vandalised the constituency office of Secretary of State for Health Wes Streeting, during the night of 31 July 2025 after he was responsible for an indefinite ban on provision of puberty blockers. The group declared the beginning of a ‘new era of trans rage’ against events they perceived as hostile to trans safety.
That incident occurred when Saturn Neptune were conjunct in Aries sextile Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius.
