June 14th: The Sun and the Crab Nebula help to manifest independence and personal projects, but they can also disrupt relationships

June 14th: The Sun conjunct the Crab Nebula and at 150° from Juno. Every year in June, the Sun makes its ecliptic transit conjunct the Crab Nebula (M1), another of the powerful supernovae that have been so trendy lately ... This represents a very large amount of energy available, but it needs to be properly directed. Where?

     The Sun squares today the midpoint Uranus/Chiron, indicating that the free, creative, independent, side of Chiron, will be emphasized. Quite unlike its saturnine side, dealing with a father hat rejects him, and represented by a restrictive society in which he does not feel integrated. It is therefore a great day to follow ou own individual path putting the emphasis on areas of our life that we usually keep in the background. Chiron represents the desire to learn, and this, coupled with the large amount of energy that  the Crab Nebula symbolizes, indicates open learning opportunities, whether in school, at home, with a book, meditating, on the computer or the great academy that is everyday life.    

     In some cases, this tendency can manifest as a strong rejection, because the expressions of independence can be disturbing to people nearby, as indicated by the asteroid Juno at 150° degrees from the Sun. Juno, the asteroid of relationships and marriage, being in the zodiacal sign of Scorpio, has a somewhat controlling tendency, yet there exists the emotional need to trust the people she cares of. Chiron/Uranus, manifested explosively with fuel from both the Sun and the Crab Nebula, is not exactly what Juno would consider pleasant company. So this symbolizes surprises and disagreements with the people around in general. Some because they are expressing their individuality, and others, they seek a supportive and empathetic response.  

     Arguments can be avoided with a little bit of flexibility and conscience. Knowing that such an astrological trend is in effect, we can just let everyone live their individuality, but also take care not to harm or disturb others too. A good challenge ... By the way, the midpoint Uranus/Chiron is now located in ecliptic conjunction with the Cartwheel Galaxy, one of the most visually striking examples of galaxy collision in the present Universe. Another good reason to measure the impact we can have on others, and also the one that others may have on us, too ... We must protect ourselves.

Good luck with your impacts! We'll analyze the resulting craters here at another time! ;)
