June 1st: Mercury and Venus reunite in a fantastic parallel to the Pleiades, promoting dialogue, unity and exchange; Juno, Uranus and the Hourglass Nebula bring renewals and ruptures in relationships and ideologies

June 1st: Mercury and Venus in parallel to the Pleiades cluster (M45) is a fantastic astrological combination to start the weekend. Mercury and Venus facilitate communication through a receptive, empathic mood, that invites to dialogue and sharing. The additional influence of the Pleiades gives a touch of introspection and analysis, proper for mental creativity and brainstorming with others. The Pleiades are young stars that rotate at high speed, which represents the rise of great new ideas and an innovative, fresh, different, motivating vision. At a personal level, it is obvious that this reflects unforgettable encounters and conversations; in the collective, it will tend to highlight further the trend of the recent solar annular eclipse of last May 20th conjunct the Pleiades, stimulating the ideological unity of the masses which are currently manifesting in what has been dubbed a new  "world spring".    

     The Pleiades are certainly one of the most important cosmic symbols of social renewal movements internationally.    

     Mercury and Venus will move later into an ecliptic conjunction with star cluster M79. This combination is also interesting and reveals the need to share and exchange with different people with different ideologies and greatly enhances cultural mixing and exchange of experiences. Definitely, this is not a weekend in which we should focus only on our own reality. We must look outward, and as far as we can we should enter into a cosmopolitan frequency, integrating different realities, knowledge, experiences and insights that will greatly enrich everyone without a doubt. Get involved!  

     If this wasn´t enough emphasis on relationships and social life, we also have Juno in parallel to the Hourglass Nebula and contra parallel to Uranus. This trend is similar to the ones mentioned above in the sense that it combines relationships with novelty and originality. Change your routine and try new activities with loved ones, friends, family and working team. But Juno conjunct the Hourglass Nebula, an agonizing star, indicates a weakening and the dissolution, in some cases drastic, of established relationships. This may represent the "final blow" to relations in crisis or whose bonds of union have deteriorated.    

     At a global level, it means the separation of political alliances. And of course, a major setback to opponents of gay marriage, as the concept of traditional marriage, represented by Juno, is weakened and reversed by the vanguardist trend of Uranus. The concept of unity get revolutionized in our personal lives and collectively. To avoid tensions and ruptures, it is better to drop prejudices, open ourselves to spontaneity and be open to new ways of relating. Otherwise, it will be ourselves who'll end up suffering the consequences of rejection and indifference instead of enjoying the flow of acceptance and freedom to love and relate in so many ways as there are people in this troubled world.
