This weekend the Swiss population was called upon to make a
historic decision, when Switzerland became the first country worldwide to put
the idea of free money for everyone, technically known as Unconditional Basic
Income (of CHF2,500 per month for every adult man and woman, and CHF625 for
every child, for doing absolutely nothing) to a vote. As reported previously, the outcome of this
referendum would set a strong precedent and establish a landmark in the
evolution of the debate of handing out free money in a centrally-planned world.
And as predicted, based on early vote projections it has been a landslide
decision against the "free lunch." June 5
A Grand Mutable Cross sets the
sacrificial tone of the week. It’s a powerful configuration composed of the
tension of two oppositions, as well as the stress of four squares. The
Sun/Venus/Neptune square invites romantic idealism, and while this is a highly
inspirational interaction, it easily ignores the truth of the situation in
favor of wishful thinking. The good news (if you want to call it that) is
Saturn’s consistent ability to keep it real. So even though you may balk at Saturn’s
ability to spot the weakness in any structure, its presence could keep you from
making a decision you might later regret.
Again, Saturn’s insistence on
reality also mitigates the Sun/Venus/Jupiter square. Jupiter encourages the Sun
and Venus toward extravagant language, gestures, and habits, but Saturn steps
in and saves the day with practical questions about the consequences of such
excess.
The above extract from Ralfee Finn’s weekly forecast for
June 1 – 7 [1] explains the cosmic
energies at work that led to Swiss voters rejecting the “free lunch” for all dream. Notice that a chart for the Sun-Jupiter square
places the Cross on the angles at Bern
suggesting that its energies needed a resolution in Switzerland.
