Today's Dutch referendum on the EU's expansionist
agreement with Ukraine really is the people's referendum. It wasn't triggered
by politicians or political parties, but by a determined group of
well-organised, highly-motivated individuals. GeenPeil, a project stemming from
the popular Dutch blog GeenStijl, collected some 420,000 signed, verified,
signatures triggering this referendum. It is an extraordinary achievement that
highlights how western democracy is evolving.
The era of top-down political operations is ending.
Mass membership, open, accessible political movements are the future.
Membership structures that are low-cost but allow involvement for those wishing
to participate from the comfort of their own homes is where politics is headed,
engaging an entirely new section of the population who have been left behind by
the distant, remote current political structures. April 6
A chart for
the April 7 New Moon at Amsterdam brings the Uranus-Pluto square into
prominence by conjoining Uranus and aligning the square with the meridian axis.
The following
extract from Bill Herbst’s s essay Uranus-Pluto:
The Rebellion Against Institutions, explains what we are seeing in the Dutch
referendum.
“I hold it that a
little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the
political world as storms in the physical.”
Thomas Jefferson
Jefferson
wasn’t suggesting the wholesale overthrow of governments or violent descent into social chaos. He was pointing out
that, without some rebellion every so often, politics will inevitably become
sclerotic and cease to perform its intended function of serving the wants and
needs of the entire society. The symbolic meaning of Uranus in Aries first-quarter
square to Pluto in Capricorn — the ongoing and preeminent astrological event of
this decade — is to make that necessity a reality. The alignment indicates a
breakdown in our largest institutions (Capricorn) that starts from within the
institutions themselves as an egregious overplaying of their power in ways that
are clearly self-serving rather than for the greater good (Pluto), which is
then furthered by an unexpected rebellion (Uranus) against institutional
malfeasance, a seemingly spontaneous insurrection that occurs from the ground
level up, fomented by individuals (Aries) who stand up in protest against the
oppressive influence of such institutions. http://www.billherbst.com/Comm14.pdf
