Air France Workers Clash with Managers in Jobs Protest



Violence erupted Monday as Air France told its works council that 300 pilots, 900 flight attendants and 1,700 ground staff might have to go after failed productivity talks with flight crew. The protest, in which agitators chanted “naked, naked,” is just the latest to turn physical in France, where managers at Michelin & Cie. and Sony Corp. have been held hostage over firings, irate farmers have blocked city streets with tractors and manure and more than 100 Uber Technologies Inc. taxis have been smashed up by rival drivers.

A chart for the lunar eclipse of Sept. 28 at Paris places the angry and combative Mars-Saturn square on the angles which aligns exactly with the meridian on October 5. Let us remember that Mars is anger and Saturn is authority so this is anger directed at authority.




The  lunar eclipse has Sun-Juno-Makemake opposite a Moon – Vesta conjunction.   Juno is an asteroid which deals with issues of fairness or otherwise in money matters while Vesta links to work  as also to an impersonal attitude so that the opposition can be interpreted as feeling unfairly treated  in connection with work [1].

JUNO: Partners; marriage/relationship; maintenance of one's rights or position with other; question of “rights” and fairness/compromise; enforcement of fairness; potential for score-keeping, jealousy, fears of abandonment & infidelity; tallying ($$$ & fairness).

VESTA: Commitment to work; using work as a compensation; dedication to accomplishment or goals; emotional distancing; hard work and career demands; impersonal; sublimation of other interests into the career or vocation; sacrifice/denial of self (by others/self) for a “greater goal.”

Nick Fiorenza describes the role of the newly discovered dwarf planet Makemake as follows:

Makemake appears to bring attention to leadership issues regarding the administration of resources; it may also impel strategic planning and enterprising action to create environmental conditions that ensure a healthy, prosperous and abundant life for groups or for the people in general. Makemake may also act to sort out those who are truly worthy of being in a leadership role from those who are not.

Putting the pieces together, it appears that the eclipse is sorting out leaders who are ready to treat others fairly from those who treat others  like impersonal  (Vesta) chess pieces in a game. (Does this ring a bell about  Syria and the difference in the US vs Russia approach?)
