October 21st: Venus, Mars and stellar cluster M5 seek self-confidence, while the Sun, Neptune and the Andromeda galaxy intensify our idealism

October 21st: Yesterday's trends are still in effect today. Also, Venus is conjunct star cluster M5 and contraparallel to Mars. This trend is about finding a balance between personal opinion and that of others. Venus, in ecliptic conjunction with M5 indicates insecurity caused by judgments of others or concerns raised by a conventional way of seeing things. M5 is a star cluster with a large number of variable stars, which makes it an indicator of insecurity. Mars comes to the rescue inviting us to correct this by giving strength to our convictions, or perhaps by helping others to clear their own self-doubts. This trend can be very good to overcome indecision in love and business, reinforcing the sense of commitment. On the other hand, if we have been too self-centered recently, we must listen to others even if their viewpoints do not seem appropriate, since we can benefit from their advice anyway. The Sun is in opposition to the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and trine to Neptune. This indicates a strong idealism that can symbolize both the ongoing global protests as well as a moment of inspiration at a personal level. Galaxy M31 is a cosmopolitan among its peers, and its great power of attraction suggests a time to be connected to the world, as this trend strengthens global consciousness. Anyway, we can use this trend to participate in the collective consciousness, to do something for the planet, to meditate, to use the power of imagination, to go deep spiritually and let our creativity flow. Warning: the tendency towards dispersion is also great, and things may end up bogged down if action is not well organized.
