January 11th: Mercury and the Eagle Nebula stimulate higher thinking and warns about prejudices; Pallas and star cluster M30 reveal ways to structure situations out of control

January 11th: Mercury conjunct the Eagle Nebula (M16), at 45° from Pallas and star cluster M30. This is an interesting combination that can help stabilize situations out of control. Warns of misjudgments caused by custom, routine, tradition. We must open our eyes and try to adapt our thinking to the present reality. Do not try to force things to fit your personal viewpoint or to justify your way of seeing things. The brief transit of Mercury conjunct the Eagle Nebula shows an emphasis on higher thinking, whether cultural, spiritual or scientific. But it also warns against prejudices that often accompany the great minds: true wisdom is the one able to deal with problems in the here and now with harmony. This attitude will be useful to help Pallas, the strategist and corrector of the asteroids, to resolve difficult or chaotic situations that need to be fixed. Pallas' conjunction with star cluster M30, whose core is gravitationally collapsed, represents a restraint, a structuring of events or situations that have gone out of control and can be annoying or dangerous. That's why today is a great moment to do all kinds of repairs. Socially, it can mean that you can reach an agreement where there is discord, disagreement, seemingly irreconcilable points of view. But in order to manage this, one must seek the highest point of view and not be swayed by emotional impulses.
