August 13th: Pluto and the Swan Nebula square Juno and reveal a great intensity in relationships, which must be handled with caution

August 13th: Pluto conjunct the Swan Nebula (M17), square Juno, at 135° from the Sun and Venus. This combination represents heavy strain on relationships, a tendency to manipulate and get into power games. Hidden information is likely to surface, causing surprise and controversy; there might be significant break-ups. Of course, knowing this can make us be aware of the general trend in order to avoid beeing hooked on it. In any case, it is possible to get advantage of this combination if we grab it from the positive side, which is about intensity and deepness, two of the plutonian qualities. This is good for team research,  refects intensity in the arts, stands for intimate confessions, psychoanalysis, and in some cases, good business too. If you do not want to experience this intensity, then it is better not to promote discussions and let important negotiations to be postponed for a more harmonious day. Relationships with already existing tensions will tend to enter a crisis stage, so it is generally best to avoid difficult encounters. However, more evolved relations, in which the struggle for control has been surpassed, can go through a phase of profound and intense union, based on sharing a transcendent knowledge. To contemplate the great truths of life from the same angle of view produces a lasting wellness, because that is what sharing is about.
