Wednesday, NOVEMBER 10

Mercury aligns with Mars in the sign of Scorpio this morning, and both bodies form squares to Saturn this afternoon. We can be very interested in producing ideas and fixing problems.

The Mercury-Mars conjunction is a good influence for motivated, energetic work, particularly related to communications and the mind. Since it occurs in the sign of Scorpio, power dynamics and sharing may be involved. Mercury-Mars excites and over-stimulates our nerves. We want to get right to the point so that communications can be on the insensitive side.

Keeping busy and making headway satisfies us more than usual, and it’s best to channel excess mental energy constructively. Tensions are possible, particularly as we can be over-excited about an idea or resistant to letting others’ input in. There is a strongly competitive theme now.

As determined as we may be, there are obstacles to surmount. We could feel blocked from asserting and expressing ourselves or pursuing our desires. We might also be preoccupied with serious or weighty issues. There can be difficulties getting our message across or physically getting somewhere. It’s challenging to trust our instincts temporarily.

It may be best to seek the motivation to make changes rather than focus too heavily on flaws and limitations. Editing and improving make sense now as we may encounter resistance if we push ahead. We might deal with disapproval or a dip in confidence, and we should draw on patience and aim to develop our endurance. We might recognize some of our limits and adjust our speed accordingly–it’s a better time for maintenance than it is for moving forward.

While the Moon in Aquarius all day is generally a good influence for healthy detachment, it hooks into the heavy, tense energy of Mercury-Mars-Saturn today, and we can be more emotionally invested in our frustrations.



This Week in Astrology: November 7 to 13, 2021


MarsSesquiquadrateNeptune Mars sesquiquadrate Neptune. Disorganization, lack of drive, lack of forethought, impracticality, and carelessness are strong possible energies to deal with now. Energy and time are too easily wasted. It’s hard to know what we want and where we’re headed under this influence, and passive-aggressive behavior is likely, as we may not feel effective enough to take direct action or assert ourselves directly. There may be a desire to act upon an impractical fantasy, or an unusual impulse.

MercurySesquiquadrateNeptune Mercury sesquiquadrate Neptune. We are not thinking clearly, preferring to daydream. Technical facts can be glossed over at this time. It’s not a good time to make a presentation, to ask for what you want, or to formalize agreements.

MercuryConjunctionMars Mercury conjunct Mars. This is a good energy for debate or energetic mental work. We may be called upon to make a decision, but it may be a hasty, ill-considered one. We may be argumentative and irritable under this influence, and particularly impatient with vagueness. Be careful to avoid cutting words and aggressive driving. Our minds may be especially clear and active, and this can be a good time to eliminate wasteful activities. This influence excites and over-stimulates the whole nervous system.

MercurySquareSaturn Mercury square Saturn. Getting from point A to point B can be a challenge during this transit due to obstacles. Communications may be blocked or delayed, and negative thinking could dominate at this time. Projects we thought were complete may need revision, and others could appear overly critical, insensitive, or sarcastic. It’s difficult to trust our instincts, and we second-guess things automatically under this influence. Avoid signing on the dotted line at this time.

MarsSquareSaturn Mars square Saturn. Frustrations, smoldering anger, and a feeling of being blocked when we are attempting to go after what we want characterize this transit. Our desire to take action and to constructively express our aggressive urges feels thwarted or blocked. It can feel like more effort than usual is required to complete tasks.

MercuryQuincunxChiron Mercury quincunx Chiron. Decisions can be hard to come by under this influence, as we tend to doubt our perceptions or the effectiveness of our ability to solve problems. It can be hard to read the intention behind the words used to communicate now, which can lead to misunderstandings.

SunTrineNeptune Sun trine Neptune. We’re at the right place at the right time, probably because our hunches are more likely to be correct and we are “tuned in”. We are inspired, and charitable acts now will serve to lift our spirits like no drug can. A good time for self-improvement programs or efforts. Instinctual judgment is enhanced under this influence. We are able to see matters, and people, from a different perspective–one that allows for, and even finds beauty in, differences.

MarsQuincunxChiron Mars quincunx Chiron. We might doubt the effectiveness of our efforts to go after what we want under this influence, which can lead to passive-aggressive behavior, defensiveness, or frustration.

MercuryOppositionUranus  Mercury opposition Uranus. Mercury opposition Uranus. We are distracted. Our communications get lost, are interrupted, or are misunderstood. Disagreements with others are quite possible. It’s not a good time to present an argument or an important idea.




crescent moon buttonAquarius sign glyph symbol

The Moon is traveling through Aquarius today. Go against the grain. Fight for a cause. Stand up for the underdog.

Attraction to all that is new and unusual, and an instinctive need for improvement, characterize the Moon in Aquarius. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal, under this influence. This is a time that promotes social gatherings, dealing with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas, and progressive changes. We are open to new methods of doing things and we have our eye on the future. It can be hard to stick to schedules now, as personal freedom is most important to us.

The Moon in Aquarius generally favors the following activities: Unusual or radical undertakings, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, joining a group.

VOC Moon on Thursday, November 11th, from 2:53 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Pluto), until the Moon enters Pisces the next day, Friday, November 12th, at 2:54 AM EST.

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.

For example, if you are having several Cinderella Transits on one of our good days, then the day can be fabulous for you. Or if you are having Cinderella Transits on one of our bad days, then the day will not be as bad for you as it will be for most people because your transits are better than most.]

Google loses appeal against EU's 2.4-billion-euro anti-trust fine

The verdict centres on Google's shopping service and is one of three cases against the search engine giant currently moving through the EU's drawn-out appeals system

Brussels (AFP) - Google lost an appeal on Wednesday against a 2.4-billion-euro ($2.8-billion) fine imposed by the European Union for abusing its search engine dominance – a big win for the bloc’s anti-trust tussle with the tech titan.

The ruling by the Luxembourg-based General Court confirmed the landmark decision taken by the European Commission in 2017.

The matter could be challenged again, however, if Google decides to turn to the EU’s highest court, the European Court of Justice, for a final say.

“Today’s judgment delivers the clear message that Google’s conduct was unlawful and it provides the necessary legal clarity for the market,” the European Commission said in a statement.

The case centres on Google’s shopping service and is one of three against the search engine giant currently moving through the EU’s drawn-out appeals system.

At the time, the fine was the EU’s biggest ever. But it was later exceeded by a 4.3-billion-euro fine against Google over its Android smartphone operating system.

In its appeal, Google and its parent company Alphabet had argued the EU was “wrong on the law, the facts, and the economics” in the search engine case.

But the court said it dismissed “for the most part the action brought by the two companies, and upholds the fine imposed by the Commission”.

It said that, by favouring its own Google Shopping service over rivals in its search result rankings and positioning, “Google departed from competition on the merits”.

It rejected Google’s argument that big online retailers had their own internet sites, saying that “those platforms are not on the same market” in which users go comparison shopping.

A Google spokesperson said the company will examine the ruling.

“This judgment relates to a very specific set of facts and while we will review it closely, we made changes back in 2017 to comply with the European Commission’s decision,” the spokesperson said.

“Our approach has worked successfully for more than three years, generating billions of clicks for more than 700 comparison shopping services.”

While Google was dealt a setback in the EU, the company fended off a separate legal case in Britain on Wednesday as the Supreme Court blocked a $4 billion class-action lawsuit accusing it of illegally tracking millions of iPhone users.

- Big win for Brussels -

The Luxembourg ruling is a win for the EU’s anti-trust supremo Margrethe Vestager, who burst onto the scene in Brussels by scrapping her predecessor’s more conciliatory approach to the US internet giant.

Vestager had lost in the same court in a different major case, against Apple and Ireland, in which her teams had ordered the iPhone maker to repay 13 billion euros plus interest to the Irish taxpayer. The EU has appealed that ruling.

The fine for Google came after seven years of investigation launched by complaints from other price-comparison services that saw traffic plummet against Google Shopping.

Experts believe that, if it is not overturned on later appeal, Google’s similar forays into vacation rentals and job ads could be next in the EU commission’s firing line.

Along with paying the fine, Google was told to remedy the problem identified by the EU case, even as the appeal moved forward.

The company tweaked its search display to give more prominence to rival shopping aggregators, as well as tourist and travel advice sites such as Tripadvisor and Yelp.

- ‘Virtually invisible’ -

But many rivals are deeply dissatisfied with Google’s fixes, believing they do nothing to guarantee fair competition in search results.

“What really matters… is stopping Google from repeating its behaviour in the future and protecting European consumers,” said Richard Stables, from price-comparison site Kelkoo.

The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) said Google’s “misleading and unfair practices harmed millions of European consumers by ensuring that rival comparison shopping services were virtually invisible.”

“In light of the ruling, we ask the European Commission to ensure that Google does not abuse its dominance as a search engine by giving its own services preference in other areas,” said BEUC director general Monique Goyens.

The commission, the EU’s anti-trust enforcer, is preparing legislation expected for next year that would impose tough rules on Big Tech.

One of the laws, the Digital Markets Act, sets a clear list of Do’s and Don’ts for internet “gatekeepers” that includes drastic limits on how Google, or other giants, can squeeze out rivals on their platforms.

Europe's battle to curb Big Tech

The so-called GAFAM are still targeted by the EU and US for a number of allegedly unfair practices

Paris (AFP) - US tech giants Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft have been accused of not paying enough taxes, stifling competition, stealing media content and threatening democracy by spreading fake news.

A European Union court on Wednesday rejected a Google appeal against a 2.4-billion euro ($2.8-billion) anti-trust fine.

Here is how the bloc has tried to regulate Big Tech:

- Nobbling competition -

The digital giants – collectively dubbed GAFAM – are regularly criticised for dominating the market by elbowing out rivals.

The EU has slapped a total 8.25 billion euros in fines on Google for abusing its dominant market position across several of its products.

The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg on Wednesday confirmed a 2.4-billion-euro fine imposed on Google by the EU Commission in 2017 for abusing its power over its rivals in online shopping.

It rejected the US search engine giant’s appeal, saying ruling that the Commission was right and “Google departed from competition on the merits”.

Microsoft was fined 561 million euros by the EU in 2013 for imposing its search engine Internet Explorer on users of Windows 7.

Amazon, Apple and Facebook are also the targets of EU probes for possible violations of competition rules.

The EU has also unveiled plans for mammoth fines of up to 10 percent of sales on tech firms that break competition rules, which could even lead to them being broken up.

- Taxation -

Germany, France, Italy and Spain won a major victory in June when the Group of Seven (G7) agreed to a minimum global corporate tax rate of at least 15 percent mainly aimed at the tech giants.

For years they have paid little or no tax through complex tax avoidance schemes.

In one of the most notorious cases, the European Commission in 2016 found that Ireland granted “illegal tax benefits to Apple” and ordered the company to pay 13 billion euros plus interest to the Irish taxpayer.

After an EU court later ruled in favour of Apple, the Commission turned to the European Court of Justice to appeal.

The following year, Amazon was told to pay back 250 million euros to Luxembourg over similar abuses there.

- Personal data -

Tech giants are regularly criticised over how they gather and use personal data.

The EU has led the charge to rein them in with its 2018 General Data Protection Regulation, which has since become an international reference.

They must ask for consent when they collect personal information and may no longer use data collected from several sources to profile users against their will.

Amazon was fined 746 million euros in July by Luxembourg authorities for flouting the EU’s data protection rules.

After having fined Twitter nearly half a million euros, the Irish regulator opened a probe into Facebook in April after the personal data of 530 million users was pirated.

France has also fined Google and Amazon a total of 135 million euros for breaking rules on computer cookies.

- Fake news and hate speech -

Social networks are often accused of failing to rein in misinformation and hate speech.

The European Parliament and member states agreed to force platforms to remove terrorist content, and to do so within one hour.

EU rules now also forbid using algorithms to spread false information and hate speech, which some major platforms are suspected of doing to increase ad revenue.

- Paying for content –

GAFAM are accused by media outlets of making money from journalistic content without sharing the revenue.

To tackle this an EU law in 2019 created a form of copyright called “neighbouring rights” that would allow outlets to demand compensation for use of their content.

After initial resistance, Google signed agreements to pay for content with several French newspapers last year, a world first.

However, it did not stop the company being fined half-a-billion euros by France’s competition authority in July for failing to negotiate “in good faith” with news organisations. Google has appealed.

UN says Ethiopia detains 72 World Food Programme drivers in war-hit north

Hundreds of thousands of people are living in famine-like conditions in Tigray, according to UN estimates

Addis Ababa (AFP) - The United Nations said Wednesday that Ethiopia had detained 72 drivers working for the World Food Programme (WFP) in the country’s conflict-torn north.

The news, which came a day after the UN reported the arrests of 22 employees in the capital Addis Ababa, is likely to further inflame tensions with the government following a decision in September to expel seven senior UN officials for “meddling” in the country’s affairs.

A UN spokesperson said the new detentions had occurred in the capital of Afar province, on the only functional road leading into famine-threatened Tigray.

“We confirm that 72 outsourced drivers contracted by WFP have been detained in Semera. We are liaising with the Government of Ethiopia to understand the reasons behind their detention,” a UN spokesperson said.

“We are advocating with the government to ensure their safety and the full protection of their legal and human rights,” the spokesperson added.

Officials last week announced a six-month nationwide emergency amid rising fears that fighters from the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) rebel groups could advance on the capital.

Timeline of main developments in the year-long Tigrayan conflict in Ethiopia.

Lawyers say arbitrary detentions of ethnic Tigrayans – commonplace during the war – have surged since then, ensnaring thousands, with the new measures allowing the authorities to hold anyone suspected of supporting “terrorist groups” without a warrant.

Law enforcement officials describe such detentions as part of a legitimate crackdown on the TPLF and OLA.

The UN on Tuesday said 22 Ethiopian staff had been detained in Addis Ababa.

Six were freed while the remaining 16 were in custody Tuesday night, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters at the world body’s headquarters.

Information on the ethnicity of the drivers detained in Semera was not immediately available, though the UN has in the past hired ethnic Tigrayans to transport food and other aid into Tigray.

- Famine fears -

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed sent troops into Tigray last November to topple the TPLF, a move he said came in response to rebel attacks on army camps.

Though the 2019 Nobel Peace laureate vowed a swift victory, by late June the TPLF had regrouped and retaken most of the region including its capital Mekele.

The war has displaced millions of people and dislocated food supplies

Since then Tigray has been under what the UN describes as a de facto humanitarian blockade.

Only 15 percent of necessary aid has been able to cross from Semera into Tigray since mid-July, with hundreds of thousands of people living in famine-like conditions, according to UN estimates.

Last week, the UN said no aid trucks had entered northern Ethiopia since October 18.

Movement of aid workers in and out of the region by road has been barred since October 28.

- Media ‘intimidation’ -

Human Rights Watch (HRW) said this week that the emergency measures posed risks not just to Tigrayans but also media organisations and aid groups, among others.

On Tuesday night a police official in Ethiopia’s Somali region announced that authorities were closing a private media outlet, Nabad TV.

The official, Mohamud Sheikh Ahmed, accused Nabad of violating the state of emergency by broadcasting content that “incites violence and bloodshed.”

Nabad was founded by Filsan Abdullahi Ahmed, who went on to serve as women’s minister in Abiy’s government and was the first federal official to acknowledge that rapes had taken place in Tigray during the war.

In late September she announced her resignation, saying that “any situation that compromises my ethics is contrary to my convictions and values.”

Filsan told AFP Wednesday that her parents as well as Nabad staff had been detained overnight by police.

“Basically they are just intimidating people with this lawless state of emergency,” she said.
