July 18/19: the Sun and Jupiter in parallel to the Eskimo Nebula provide strength to overcome obstacles, large and small, with the power of thought and an optimistic approach

July 18/19: the Sun is parallel to Jupiter and the Eskimo Nebula. This combination indicates the possibility of overcoming obstacles and resistance to the manifestation of our ideas and creativity. The combination Sun/Jupiter has always been considered as a formula for success, growth and expansion. People born at the time of this parallel, which occurs twice a year, are usually very lucky in life, developing self-confidence and achieving with the power of their personality the objectives they wish without major strife... However, it also indicates an ego out of proportion, a tendency to exaggeration and superficiality, for life usually does not require them to fight, and, at times, they need no effort to get what they want.

     Therefore, the best way to put this trend to good use is applying this optimistic energy in areas with strong impediments, whether it's helping people who have a heavy load on their backs, or bringing this positive and successful energy to situations where there are strong hindrances or shortcomings. This is the case of the parallel Sun/Jupiter conjunct the Eskimo Nebula. This Nebula, a dying star in the constellation Gemini, has that name because it looks like an Eskimo's face with his coat. This is a star that expelled part of its atmosphere in the early stages of its agony. This formed a ring of dense material that makes resistance to the strong winds emanating from its core, which are much faster.

      This symbolizes a strong resistance to the expression of the star, and astrologically this indicates situations in which there are great ideas or plans that may encounter resistance. But these constraints can be overcome, and eventually it is possible to transcend the barriers for ideals and creativity, so they finally reach their destination. The central star of the Eskimo is extremely hot and this indicates a connection to the higher mind, spirituality, ideals, science, knowledge, transcendent art ... To connect with them will make things move around us significantly.

     If this sounds a bit abstract, think of Nelson Mandela, who has the Eskimo Nebula in parallel to the Sun, indicating a strong influence of this star in his ife and personality. Despite the long years in jail, his ideas never lost power, and eventually were stronger than the obstacles that at times seemed impossible to overcome. Finally, he finished changing things in his country and in various parts of the world, being now and in the years to come a source of inspiration and a great example for Humanity.

     Today and tomorrow, the Sun and Jupiter will be in parallel to this nebula, and we must use this astrological combination to solve a lot of problems or stagnant situations. The power of thought under this influence is great, which is indicated by the high temperature of the star. The power of knowledge, of ideals, words and concepts is extremely strong, even if it's only for a couple of days. So if optimistic thoughts are generated and you are open to see the door to escape problems, perhaps the solution will be there, waiting closer than we think, at the reach of our hands. Do not miss this chance!
