The rise of political extremism & astrology

[Daisy]

Hello dear seasoned and less seasoned astrologers! I am here to ask you humbly for your help, since this branch of astrology (political astrology?) is not my expertise.

Over-all, democracy faces more and more challenges. I have seen a rise of especially far-right extremism rising in Europe, more specifically Italy and Romania and in the States and I have been wondering what's the possible reason for this, astrologically speaking. Therefore, my question is: what are some signs that indicate such troubling times?

Thank you for your time.

I'm thinking Neptune in Pisces, but I also think a lot of people got scarred by Pluto's recent late transits through Capricorn, interacting with Saturn.

I would add in Jupiter transit Gemini.

Gemini being a dual-bodied sign, represented by the twins. Therefore a split or divide, and Jupiter is in detriment in Gemini, so subjective beliefs, indoctrinations, personal opinions, and narratives are presented under the guise of facts, truths, and raw data, and misinterpreted as such. The media (Gemini) doesn't help, and that's both mainstream/legacy media and social media.

We have had many transits in Gemini since 2020:

2020 - Venus retrograde in Gemini

2020/2021 - North Node + Eclipses in Gemini

2022/2023 - Mars Retrograde in Gemini

2024 - Jupiter Gemini

Coming up:

2025 - Uranus Gemini

There has been enough time, and enough planetary energies in Gemini, to provide a breeding ground for hateful political divisiveness on both sides.
