You tend to handle friends and groups logically and unemotionally. Goals and ambitions are practical. There is a certain difficulty in relating closely with others. You are not usually found in the ranks of volunteer workers or sign-carrying zealots because you do not consider these worthwhile expenditures of energy. However, you will certainly assist your friends in a time of actual need. A WarholJuno in 8th House You thrive on the intensity of experiences in your relationships. Partners may put each other through continual changes and transformations. The most important relationship interactions will concern mutual finances and possessions, as well as the issues of trust, power and sexuality.Vesta in 7th House Development of a dedication to working on your relationships. You may become overly focused upon or obsessed with your primary relationship.Part of Fortune in 12th House The benefits of this placement here are not always obvious. Unless you truly allow yourself to flow with events and emotions and let them go without identifying with them, the subtle understanding of life will be missed. The idea of service and compassion, as reflected by the Sixth and Twelfth Houses, is not really understood by most of us. Generally, we only see these within our own limited experiences. There is an impersonal aspect of these two great principles which underlie the entire created world. Few of us ever experience this, still fewer believe it so.Taurus Ascendant The Taurus Ascendant endows you with practicality, self-assertion, diplomacy and an affable disposition. You are loving, affectionate, fond of pleasure, cool, self-contained, firm and strong-willed, a lover of peace, quiet, comfort, and harmony. You are quiet-natured and not easily roused to temper, however, once your passion is roused you can be very dangerous – the raging bull. You can be somewhat reserved and self-centred, and show great obstinacy upon occasion. You do not change very easily, and are a little lacking in adaptability. Your course of life tends to move from day to day and even from year to year in its accustomed channels with comparatively little alteration. You are not easily influenced by other people, but are a persistent and patient worker in your own way and according to your own ideas. There is a tendency to laziness and an over attachment to material values. Qualities lacking to some degree which may be found in your partner are aggressiveness, sympathy for others, passion, energy and a capacity for sustained work.2nd House Cusp in Gemini You make money from original ideas and practical thinking with respect to material resources. You are not confined to one financial outlet.3rd House Cusp in Cancer A maternal/paternal attitude prevails toward brothers and sisters and the neighborhood environment. There is much coming and going and fluctuation in communication. You tend to travel in connection with business and financial affairs.4th House Cusp in Cancer You gain deep emotional satisfaction from home life. You are dedicated to your families, which are the bases of your operations.5th House Cusp in Leo You are ardent in love. You identify strongly with your children and want to be proud of them. Your constant flow of creative energy is often expressed in art. You like to excel in sports and competitive games. You can be lucky in speculation, although as a rule you do not engage in it.6th House Cusp in Virgo Care and precision characterize your work, and in many respects it is of superior quality. Yet you often leave something unfinished because your perfectionist tendencies make it difficult for them to complete a task on time, or because your enthusiasm has waned.7th House Cusp in Scorpio You are attracted to power and status. You seek energetic partners, those who excel in creative expression and the power to accomplish. However, you must guard against jealousy, combativeness, and possessiveness with partners. Coinciding with you need for regeneration where partners and the public are concerned is the need for spiritual detachment.8th House Cusp in Sagittarius There is much legal activity in regard to wills, insurance, and joint finances. You often profit through inheritance. Your partners usually are financially stable, and useful in the your progress toward the next "green field".9th House Cusp in Capricorn You are very traditional and conservative in religion and philosophy. Your philosophical outlook is restricted by materialism. Your humanitarian instincts are expressed through your professional work.Capricorn Midheaven This placing indicates that your career or area of responsibility in the world relates in some way to the attainment of public power and status through positions of authority and professionalism. You may have had a lack of opportunities in your youth and met with obstacles, delays, dull periods and disappointment. However, with your ambition for power and advancement, and through steady, persevering industry, you will rise above your sphere in life – possibly in your middle years. You will have to gain knowledge and expertise associated with worldly power, status, achievement, practical accomplishment and the ability to deal effectively with authority. You are not as concerned about money as about status and recognition – you feel that money is a necessary ingredient for a good public image. You will do well in real estate, politics, business and administrative or government work. You have strong need of a job which offers security and stability.11th House Cusp in Aquarius You are capable of establishing many friendships and working wen in groups, especially with young people. However, your individualism some times prevents your having many friends. You are also erratic in your associations.12th House Cusp in Pisces You have an unconscious spiritual wisdom that is not apparent on the surface. You possess an intense empathy for humankind, yet at times you feel alone. Confusion on the unconscious level may sometimes be your undoing.Moon Conjunct Venus You like other people, and they can tell. Others value you for your sense of discrimination and kindness. You love working with groups, especially in psychological areas and where feelings are involved. You are very discriminating when it comes to your home and surroundings – a great lover of tradition. Your love of history, different cultures, and your own past is exceptional. You value and are a connoisseur of all things bright and kind.Moon Sextile Mars A born coach or teacher, you are at home in the physical and "doing" areas of life. An inspiration and driving force in the lives of others. Quite able to manage a very active and strong emotional life. Strong spirit. Attractive. Direct, perhaps loud.Moon Trine Uranus You are very original when it comes to home and surroundings – the environment you build around you. This could also manifest in unusual ways of supporting yourself. Your mother may have been quite eccentric or your upbringing somehow different. When you have breakthroughs, they often come as insights into your immediate surroundings, home, and environment – your support system in general. This could also manifest in your finding new and different ways to make a living. You may have new ideas about the past, history, and younger people, find it easy to create an unusual environment, and enjoy surrounding yourself with what is new and different.Mercury Sextile Venus Lovely words and a flair for description – the artistic in all its many forms. An inner sense of warmth and goodness, and the ability to express this. Kind and easy to be with. Perfect taste in literary and artistic matters. Harmonious.Mercury Conjunct Mars You are a very forceful speaker and communicate with great enthusiasm. Words just flow out and are always followed by an emotional impact that brings them home to your listeners. You have no trouble putting your feelings into words; in fact, you may have to exercise some control over your tongue, for you are quick to say things and everything you communicate packs a wallop. Things you say mean a lot. You have a great mental drive and lavish great energy on mental pursuits of all kinds. Ideas, words, books, and the like are pursued with great gusto.Mercury Square Saturn You have much trouble organizing your thoughts, and your lack of discipline is a constant hassle to both you and others. Study and mental self-control are not your cup of tea. You can say things that are simply impractical and have trouble limiting yourself to ideas that are down-to-earth, pragmatic. Some of your ideas are just plain irresponsible. Mental hassles can be a constant headache for you.Venus Sextile Mars All heart! Feelings are always out front and entirely natural. Love of action, motion (sports, physical, sex, and the like). An expert at matters of the heart. Children, animals, and all creative work get top billing. Always act on instinct, feelings.Mars Square Saturn You waste a lot of energy sailing into the wind and clashing against authority or reality for no good reason. You resent having to get serious, go to work, and take on responsibilities. Your efforts tend to lack the determination and organization necessary for real accomplishment. Very little can be accomplished without some sort of discipline and training, and you resist these like the devil. You avoid work.Mars Sesquiquadrate Neptune You can be self-defeating, often pushing in directions that go against your own stated ideals and dreams. You have an aversion to foggymindedness and lack of clarity, a fear of being misled or duped. Your feelings tend to compromise your own self-image.Uranus Conjunct Ascendant Very independent in appearance and communication – the way you come across to others. Your spontaneity and unpredictability make you interesting to any group. |
LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The FIRST QUARTER MOON occurs on Thursday, November 11th, 2021, at 7:46 AM EST.
On Thursday morning, the First Quarter Moon is exact, when the Sun in Scorpio forms a square with the Moon in Aquarius.
There is a crisis theme surrounding any quarter Moon phase, as we feel compelled to take action. Shortly after, we are made aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error. Whatever project or initiative we began around the New Moon is now off the ground, and it may face its first obstacles.
A First Quarter Moon can be a time of some stress, clashing, and discord, but also of great energy, motivation, and growth. We’re more ambitious and competitive. Things are beginning to take off or turn a corner. This is a time when we want to get something going, but we may not yet know the next step or the exact direction we want to take.
While we should probably watch for overconfidence or overshooting, it’s a good idea to use the stress generated now to make important changes.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 19 degrees and 21 minutes of Aquarius square the Sun at 19 degrees and 21 minutes of Scorpio, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 17 to 21 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

This week: The Sun is in Scorpio; Mercury is in Scorpio; Venus is in Capricorn; Mars is in Scorpio until the 13th, after which Mars is in Sagittarius.
The Sun is in Scorpio from October 23-November 21. The guiding principle of Scorpio is “I desire.” Scorpio is the sign of depth, intimacy, and extremes of feeling. Superficiality simply will not do with the Sun in Scorpio–we want to get to the bottom of matters. Mediocrity does not satisfy either. All that is hidden, taboo, secret, or suppressed interests us. In Libra, we strived towards equality and fairness. Scorpio, however, instinctively believes that life simply isn’t fair.
Scorpio’s energy is provocative, usually in a quiet way, as well as passionate, strong-willed, and intense. It can be an immensely healing and transformative energy. Jealousy, vindictiveness, beating a dead horse, and manipulative are some of the more negative expressions of Scorpio.
We are more likely to prosper through strategy and knowing the value of keeping some things to ourselves at the right times. Efforts to repurpose, recycle, salvage, and transform can be successful. We’re especially successful at organizing, researching, investigating, and analyzing.
While we can be quite controlled with effort, there is some inclination to extremism. We can be drawn to challenges and crises, and we feel compelled to heal, fix, and direct or manage.
Mercury is in Scorpio from November 5-24. When Mercury is in Scorpio, our thoughts and communications are more probing and intense. While Mercury in Libra urged us to find balance and arrive at reasonable solutions, Mercury in Scorpio instinctively knows that life simply isn’t fair. Mercury in Scorpio seeks truths in all that is hidden and undercover.
We tend to probe, observe, and focus our thoughts under this influence. Looking for motivations–the more deeply buried, the better–satisfies an intellectual need now. Our thoughts are profound. We throw away superficial manners of communicating in favor of deep conversations.
Scorpio is exceptionally sharp, profound, and analytical yet also intuitive. Thinking is inclined to be one-track-minded, focused, and even obsessive.
Mercury-in-Scorpio isn’t shocked by much, or at least keeps its cool even if surprised. During this cycle, our approach is psychological when analyzing, deciding, and studying or observing. We’re not afraid to go places mentally. We get to the heart of a matter or to the bottom line very quickly, usually through instinct. Our resourcefulness and strategy stand out. We’re competitive.
We can be intrigued by motives and secrets or taboos. It’s not easy to take instruction or someone’s word for it–we have to experience it ourselves to draw conclusions. This position of Mercury is one of the most persuasive. It’s an excellent time to research, investigate, troubleshoot, and work on hunches. If left to observe on our own, we do our best thinking, seeking the hidden layers of a situation.
Venus is in Capricorn from November 5, 2021-March 6, 2022. [This is longer than usual due to the Venus retrograde, occuring entirely in the sign of Capricorn, from December 19, 2021-January 29, 2022.] Getting serious about our finances and boosting our relations with business partners and/or co-workers will be easier than usual under this influence. Our talents for creating artistic structure and form are enhanced, and our ability to form connections with people who support our ambitions increases.
We value enduring connections, reliability, and faithfulness. We take expressing our feelings seriously, and we take our time to warm up to others. We generally keep our “cool” in relationships. We’re steadfast and seek genuine, perhaps old-fashioned connections. It’s not a time for PDA, and we can be somewhat guarded and reserved with expressing our feelings or revealing our relationships.
The underdog who works hard can have their time in the sun now. We value slow and steady effort and long-term prospects. Reliability in others is most attractive.
This cycle favors getting along well with higher-ups, conservative business goals and ventures, long-term investments, and matters related to pension.
Mars is in Scorpio from October 30-December 13. In Scorpio, Mars is driven and focused on getting what it wants. We are persevering, single-minded, and strong. The desire to experience our emotional depths, as well as the urge to penetrate the surface of life in order to explore deeper levels of existence, is powerful. We are fascinated with what others tend to repress, and are drawn to experiencing and understanding these things. We are less inclined to avoid important issues now. In some ways, we are attracted to crisis, as we see crisis as transformative and emotionally exciting. We would rather feel extreme emotions than nothing at all, as mediocrity or the “middle road” is felt to be unsatisfying.
Mars is in Sagittarius from December 13, 2021, to January 24, 2022. With a Sagittarius Mars, our actions are motivated by our ideals. We are bothered by routine, quickly becoming restless if we feel confined. We have a love of adventure, and of conquest–this is the position of wanderlust. We start projects or challenges with gusto, although we may tend to abandon them rather quickly. This may be because we set our sights too high!
Jupiter is in Aquarius from December 19th, 2020, to May 13, 2021, and then from July 28 to December 28, 2021. Read more about the Jupiter in Aquarius transit. Jupiter is in Pisces from May 13th to July 28th, when it retreats into Aquarius. Jupiter returns to Pisces on December 28th, 2021. There will be another part to this 3-part act in 2022! Read more about the Jupiter in Pisces transit.
Saturn transits Aquarius from March 21 to July 1, 2020, and from December 17th, 2020, until March 7, 2023. Read about Saturn’s transit of Aquarius.
Uranus is in Taurus.
Uranus transits Taurus from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, and then from March 6th, 2019, until 2025/6. We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Above all, we’re challenging what we previously valued during this cycle.
There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. In general, we’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money, are likely. Our income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.
The Moon is traveling through Sagittarius. The grass looks greener on the other side during this time. Jump ship. Learn a new language. Tell it like it is. Make people laugh.
The Moon is at her most optimistic and upbeat in Sagittarius. We are motivated by a need to seek the truth, and we are ready to pursue a new vision. We are not interested in details just now. Instead, we focus on the big picture. New experiences and adventures satisfy a deep emotional need. Spontaneity is the key. We may also be inclined toward overdoing and overstating. We don't want to plan ahead, and prefer to "wing it".
The Moon in Sagittarius generally favors the following activities: Adventurous activities that involve "winging it", travel, higher education, starting publishing projects, advertising, sports, physical activity.
Void-of-course Moon on Sunday, November 7th, from 8:44 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 8:04 PM EST.

November 2021:
Timing with the Moon – Better Periods this Week for Electing New Initiatives
It’s important to note that there are more factors to consider besides the windows listed below. The following windows are starting points. For example, you generally don’t want to elect a new venture when a very challenging aspect is applying, and it’s preferable to elect a time when a particularly positive aspect hasn’t yet perfected (is applying).
The Moon is waning this week, which is generally considered unfavorable for new beginnings, with exceptions. (See Best Time to Start a Business for more details).
According to principles of timing with the Moon, a window of opportunity occurs this week from approximately 5:50 AM to 8:40 AM EST on Sunday, November 7th, while the Moon is in Sagittarius.
Another window occurs from approximately 8:10 PM EST on Sunday, November 7th, to approximately 12:50 PM on Tuesday, November 9th, while the Moon is in Capricorn.
Another window occurs from approximately 8:50 AM to 2:50 PM EST on Thursday, November 11th, while the Moon is in Aquarius.
Another window occurs from approximately 3:00 AM EST on Friday, November 12th, to Sunday, November 14th, at approximately 12:35 AM EST, while the Moon is in Pisces.

NOVEMBER 7
The Moon continues its transit of truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:04 PM EST, after which it moves into structured Capricorn. With Mars in a minor square to Neptune today, we may believe the route to our desires is a roundabout one. There can be some disorganization or a desire to act upon an unrealistic fantasy or unusual impulse. It’s hard to know what we want and where we’re headed under this influence, and passive-aggressive behavior is possible, as we may not feel effective enough to take direct action or assert ourselves directly. It may be best to wait things out to see if a sudden feeling passes. Seeing holes or losing some confidence in our plans, desires, and pursuits can be more of a symptom of the need for a bit of inspiration or a well-deserved break than it is a sign that the plans are lacking. Of course, if there are flaws, adjustments may be necessary. Otherwise, we may need to rest or recuperate before pressing forward.
The void Moon occurs from 8:44 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 8:04 PM EST.
NOVEMBER 8
The Moon spends the day in Capricorn, and we pay more attention to our long-term goals and responsibilities. Although the Capricorn Moon encourages an appreciation of the tried-and-true or traditional, its trine to Uranus suggests we’re somewhat open to different methods. With a Chiron-Ceres aspect this morning, we’re learning from our experiences, particularly to do with love and attachments, and we enjoy helping people, teaching, and growing through our connections. Later today, a Mercury-Neptune minor square comes into influence, which can be somewhat disorienting. We tend to avoid confrontation with this transit, attempting to move around issues or otherwise taking an indirect approach. It’s not an ideal time for clear thinking and handling details.
When the Moon is in Capricorn
We become aware of the need for structure and planning ahead. We also instinctively are aware of the limitations of time. We are motivated by a desire for success. Achievement and manifestation are most important to us now. We are resourceful and don't want to waste time, energy, or resources. This can be a very sober influence--even a depressing one. However, it can also be a productive time when we look reality in the eye.
The Moon in Capricorn generally favors the following activities: Long-term activities that yield slow but steady results, practical undertakings, career issues, making a business plan, practical investments.

Long lines as US reopens borders after 20 months
Nov 08 2021
Long lines of cars waited to cross the Canadian border into the US
New York (AFP) - Long lines formed at border crossings Monday as the United States reopened to foreign visitors vaccinated against Covid-19, ending 20 months of restrictions that separated families, hobbled tourism and strained diplomatic ties.
From Rainbow Bridge at the US-Canada border to Mexico’s Tijuana crossing at San Ysidro, California, cars, motor homes and masked pedestrians clogged entry points before dawn as they sought eagerly anticipated reunions with family members and friends.
At airports in Europe, passengers queued excitedly to board planes bound for American cities, while those entering the country by land – some seen lugging suitcases and pushing bag-filled strollers under the watchful eyes of border patrol agents – were greeted by hours-long wait times.
The ban, imposed by then president Donald Trump in early 2020 and upheld by his successor Joe Biden, had become emblematic of the upheavals caused by the pandemic.
Trump initially closed US borders to China travelers in February, 2020.
A month later he extended the ban to large swathes of the world, including the European Union, Britain, India and Brazil, in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Overland visitors from Mexico and Canada were also banned.
- Larger planes -
At Frankfurt airport in Germany, Hans Wolf was queueing at the check-in counter, visibly moved, bound for Houston to visit his son whom he had not seen in two years.
Major airport security changes in the United States since the 9/11 attacks
“We booked the first flights in March and had since then rebooked I think 28 times, and spent so much money in between that this flight must really be profitable now,” he said.
At London Heathrow Airport, two planes from rivals British Airways and Virgin Atlantic heading to New York took off at the same time from parallel runways to mark the occasion.
To cope with surging demand, airlines have increased the number of transatlantic flights and plan to use larger planes.
- Dollar shortages -
Along the US-Mexico border, many cities have faced economic struggles due to anti-Covid trade restrictions.
The wait at the US-Mexico border was expected to hit three to four hours
Reflecting widespread anticipation of the reopening, currency exchange centers in Mexico’s Ciudad Juarez were hit by a shortage of dollars.
The Ciudad Juarez government has implemented a special system to direct traffic, with portable toilets on the three bridges crossing into the United States “as waiting times of up to four hours are estimated,” said the local director of road safety, Cesar Alberto Tapia.
In the United States’ northern neighbor, seniors will be able to resume their annual trips to Florida to escape the bitter Canadian winters.
Before sunrise, passenger cars and motor homes lined up on Rainbow Bridge straddling the border at Niagara Falls.
But the cost of PCR tests that Canada requires for cross-border travel – up to $250 – can be prohibitive.
Ann Patchett, an Ontario resident, told the Ottawa Citizen it will cost $500 for her and her husband to go south to visit family.
“Do you want to hug your children? Do you want to tuck your grandchildren into bed?” she asked. “It’s very frustrating.”
- Some restrictions remain -
Lifting the travel ban will affect more than 30 countries, but entry into the United States will not be unregulated.
US authorities plan to closely monitor travelers’ vaccination status and will still require them to present negative Covid tests.
The reopening will happen in two phases.
Air passengers into the US are required to be fully vaccinated and tested within three days of travel, and airlines will have to implement a contact tracing system
Starting Monday, vaccines will be required for “non-essential” trips – such as family visits or tourism – although unvaccinated travelers will still be allowed into the country for “essential” trips.
A second phase, beginning in early January, will require all visitors to be fully vaccinated to enter the United States by land, no matter the reason for their trip.
US health authorities have said all vaccines approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization would be accepted for entry by air.
- Europe’s rising cases -
Washington has yet to comment on Europe’s recent Covid caseload increase.
The WHO has expressed “grave concern” over the rising pace of infections in Europe, warning that the trajectory could mean “another half a million Covid-19 deaths” by February.
But many, including House Republican Elise Stefanik whose New York district borders Canada, expressed a sense of relief at the US reopening.
“Finally, the day we have been waiting for,” she said in a video statement.
“We have worked hard on a bipartisan basis, and while this is far too late, November 8th is here and we want to make sure that this border re-opening is as smooth as possible.”

Crypto market value tops $3 trillion for first time
Nov 08 2021
Bitcoin, the world's biggest cryptocurrency, hit a record-high $66,000 last month after taking another step towards mainstream status
London (AFP) - The world cryptocurrency market is worth more than $3 trillion for the first time, according to calculations Monday, as mainstream investors increasingly jump on board.
The value has reached $3.007 trillion (2.6 trillion euros), said CoinGecko, which tracks prices of more than 10,000 cryptocurrencies.
“The crypto market is growing at a mind-blowing speed,” noted SwissQuote analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya.
“A part of it is speculation of course, but a part of it is real,” she told AFP.
“Crypto is now making its way to traditional finance and everyone is on board.”
Bitcoin, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency, hit a record-high $66,000 last month after taking another step towards mainstream status.
It surged back above $66,000 on Monday close to its all-time peak after a five percent jump.
Ethereum, the second biggest cryptocurrency by market value, hit a record high $4,768 on Monday.
A bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund, a type of financial instrument, launched on the New York Stock Exchange in October.
The ETF is a more accessible vehicle that puts bitcoin within the grasp of even more investors.
Some investors sees cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation, which is surging worldwide as economies reopen after pandemic lockdowns.
“Bitcoin is bouncing higher again, close to all-time highs,” Hargreaves Lansdown market analyst Susannah Streeter said Monday.
“The recent surge in the crypto… partly seems to have been caused by investors piling in, seeing it as a hedge against inflation,” Streeter added.
No more than 21 million bitcoin can be created, helping its price to trade way above its rivals, but trading of cryptocurrencies in general has shown to be extremely volatile with massive price swings a common occurrence.

Migrants massing at border with Belarus help, Poland says
Nov 08 2021
Migrants often report being forced to cross the border by Belarusian officials and then being pushed back into Belarusian territory by the Polish authorities
Warsaw (AFP) - Poland on Monday said hundreds of migrants in Belarus were descending on its border aiming to force their way into the EU member in what NATO slammed as a deliberate tactic by Minsk.
“A group of a few hundred people are heading for the Kuznica border crossing. One group has already tried to cross the border, but the border guards have arrested some of these people,” Polish government spokesman Piotr Muller told reporters in Warsaw.
Muller blamed “people linked to Belarusian special services” for organising the migrant breach. He added that a Polish government crisis unit was due to meet later on Monday.
NATO slammed as “unacceptable” Belarus’s alleged tactical use of migrants to put pressure on the EU, saying it was worried about “escalation” on the border with Poland.
- Deaths -
The European Union accuses Belarusian strongman Alexander Lukashenko of facilitating a wave of migrants and refugees, mainly from the Middle East, trying to enter the EU in retaliation for sanctions imposed by Brussels.
Minsk has reportedly issued special visas allowing migrants to fly into Belarus.
The sanctions were imposed after Belarus diverted a flight between EU capitals in May to arrest a dissident journalist and his girlfriend on board, and for a brutal crackdown on the opposition.
Lukashenko has denied the charges.
Poland has sent thousands of soldiers to the border area, enforced a state of emergency in the region complete with a media blackout, built a razor-wire fence and approved the construction of a wall.
Caught in the middle, migrants often report being forced to cross the border by Belarusian officials and then being pushed back into Belarusian territory by the Polish authorities.
At least 10 migrants have died so far in the region, including seven on the Polish side of the border, according to the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza.
- ‘Prepared for any scenario’ -
Poland’s defence ministry tweeted a video taken from a helicopter showing hundreds of migrants gathered on the Belarusian side near the Bruzgi-Kuznica border crossing.
Earlier Stanislaw Zaryn, a spokesman for Poland’s intelligence services, warned the migrants would “try to enter Poland en masse”, adding that “the group is under the strict control of armed Belarusians. They are the ones who decide the direction the group takes.”
“We are prepared for any scenario,” Poland’s interior minister Mariusz Kaminski said in a Monday tweet, adding that Warsaw had beefed up numbers of police and soldiers in the area.
Other videos, which were also published on Twitter by the Nexta Belarusian opposition media outlet, showed groups of hundreds – if not thousands – of people in winter clothing, carrying backpacks and walking along a road.
According to a geolocation check by AFP’s fact-checking service, one of the videos was taken near buildings in Bruzgi, Belarus, some 1.2 kilometres from Poland’s Kuznica border crossing. The signs along the road were in Belarusian.
Belarusian border guards confirmed in a statement that “a large group of refugees… is moving along the highway towards the border with Poland.”
Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya blamed Lukashenko for orchestrating a “hybrid attack” and called on the United Nations Security Council to “discuss this crisis” in a Monday Twitter post.
