IOC announced protection of Female Category

Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females, determined on the basis of a one‑time SRY gene screening.

Evidence‑based and expert‑informed, the policy – applicable for the LA28 Olympic Games onwards – protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category.

It is not retroactive and does not apply to any grassroots or recreational sports programs.

This announcement was made on 26 March 2026 with Moon and Jupiter in Cancer square Sun and Saturn in Aries with trine to Mars in Pisces.

A decision has finally been made to protect the female sporting category. This is not an easy decision and is going to go against what some believe to be true. But it is impossible to be inclusive while simultaneously creating specific categories which by their very nature exclude others. This matter highlights the difference between biological facts (XX and XY) and beliefs around gender.

Saturn deals with systems and rules. Sport is a rules-based system. It needs to protect the athlete while simultaneously protecting the category. Mars is associated with sport and in Pisces is perhaps still trying to be inclusive. But Saturn says no – we need to make a decision and there needs to be accountability.

Transgender athletes have been sold a lie (Saturn/Neptune) that they can compete in female category. But the science (Saturn) has ruled about male advantage for both transgender and DSD athletes who are biological males.

The female sporting category needs to be protected. Many generations of women in the past have fought for the rights that women currently enjoy. Rights and responsibilities need to be protected. It also demonstrates the clash between individual versus collective rights. It is not always easy to manage the competing narratives.

With Moon and Jupiter in Cancer (feminine sign), this concept of the feminine and safety is a key priority. Venus in Aries indicates the difficulties of protecting the female category – a necessary step.

Mars in Aries

Mars enters Aries on 9 April, the sign it rules. This is a powerful Mars. It is determined and focused. It has energy, force and direction. Mars is ruler of the Saturn Neptune conjunction that was exact on 20 February at 0 Aries. It will activate this degree. Mars is associated with war and aggression. Mars in the cardinal fire sign of Aries is impatient. It is fiery. Hot and dry. This is an inflammatory response. Mars is definitely associated with the military and missiles. This Mars has a temper. This Mars wants action.

What changes in the war in Middle East and Ukraine? On 0 degrees Aries the World Axis what changes for the world?

Mars will move forward and connect with Neptune on 13 April. This is a time to dare to dream about a different future with different ideals for the world. Are we able to forgive? Or do we continue to fight religious wars? What changes in the energy war – oil and gas? Push for renewable energy?

Mars then meets Saturn on 20 April. The 2 malefics meet. This is a time of pent up aggression and frustration. It’s difficult to move forward. This a real test of endurance and strength of will and determination. Saturn wants accountability for actions.

Uranus finally moves into Gemini on 26 April. Uranus is associated with disruption and innovative. What happens in the communication and broadcasting sphere? What happens to professions like auditing, accounting and actuarial science? What about writers and authors? How does the information age change? What about transportation and motor vehicles? Gemini is all about connecting people and ideas. These are the areas where innovation will emerge.

Uranus is a volatile and unpredictable planet. In Gemini – a mutable, air sign this increases the instability. What changes in modern warfare? No more boots on the ground? More drones and missiles?

Air feeds fire. Uranus will trigger Mars, Neptune and Saturn. Things remain unstable and uncertain and could blow up anytime.

Moon in Capricorn is out of bounds. Much anxiety about financial matters. Perhaps some people do very well financially while others struggle. Do ordinary people feel safe? Are people worried about food security in the future? There are real long-term consequences.

Planets direct motion

With Mercury now direct (20 March) – all planets are moving forward. This should facilitate progress in life. Make the most of this time before Pluto retrogrades on 6 May followed by Neptune (7 July) and Saturn (26 July).

Saturn in Aries and war sentiment

Public sentiment shifted in late 60’s and the American public became more concerned about the long term impact of the Vietnam war. In this period Saturn was in Aries indicating that the consequences of actions had unintended consequences and the impact would be felt for a long time.

We once again have Saturn moving into Aries and one wonders what the long term implications are for the US and Israel with the Iran war. This is likely to drag on much longer than expected.

Trump and Netanyahu

Trump and Netanyahu both have Mars in Leo at 26 degrees. Together they mutually encourage and urge the other to take action. They are competitors. And with Mars in Leo, the message is ‘I will do it my way.’

Trump

Trump is a volatile and unpredictable character. With his Sun in Gemini he is always likely to change his mind and direction. But with Uranus conjunct Sun this adds to his volatility and unpredictable personality. This makes him bold and brash. With a Leo Asc and Mars on the Asc this gives him extra confidence. This is his nature.

Uranus is on the MC and has been putting pressure on his chart since June 2024 as it made aspects to his MC, Mars and Asc. This process concludes in April 2026. This transit from Uranus has added unpredictability to the very volatile character that he is naturally.

Israel

The Mars Saturn conjunction will oppose Neptune in chart of Israel. Neptune in 12th speaks about hidden forces involved in deception, manipulation and lies. What emerges? Is there accountability?

US under pressure

On 26 April 2026 Uranus moves into Gemini. The US has Uranus at 8 degrees Gemini and will have a Uranus Return in July 2027. This is a powerful reset and happens every 84 years. This last happened in 1943 and 1944. This was the crucial period of the D-Day landings in France. These events together with others were pivotal in securing victory in WW2.

Currently Pluto is conjunct South Node in 2nd indicating economic difficulties.

Neptune opposed MC is certainly challenging for the government. What dissolves?

China

China has been very quiet in the US/Israel Iran conflict. How does the leader of China respond? With emphasis on 2nd and 8th houses the focus is economic. Mars rules 9th and 10th houses of trade and government.

Watch what transpires on 19 April with Mars Saturn conjunction opposite the Sun.
