July 20th: Jupiter, the Hyades and the Eskimo Nebula weaken Saturn's rigidity, Mercury introduces the opposition of Pallas to the globular cluster M3, the beggining of a period of major repairs

July 20th: Jupiter is at 135° from Saturn, in parallel to the Eskimo Nebula, conjunct the Hyades cluster. This combination, which will last until July 22nd, 2012, (the whole weekend) is great to unblock stalled situations and overcome impediments. In other sections of the Galactic Guide we have discussed the advantages of Jupiter´s transit by the Eskimo Nebula, which represents the possibility of overcoming obstacles and resistance (see related article). Now, this energy is focused on Saturn, now separating from the ecliptic conjunction with the giant star Eta Carina, and therefore beginning to lose strength, weakening its rigidity and authoritarianism.

     Driven by the emotional excitement of the Hyades cluster, Jupiter focuses on overcoming negative, pessimistic attitudes and thoughts. Results may vary, but generally they can be positive if one acts with a strategy, a plan and not on impulses. At an international level, this indicates a setback to restrictive policies, an increase of the revolutionary tendency, and significant improvements in stagnant situations in world diplomacy.


     But the previous trend is simultaneous with an equally interesting, but more discreet and more durable one... Pallas begins to form an opposition to star cluster M3, introduced by Mercury retrograde, which makes a trine or 120 degree angle. This astrological combination suggests the possibility of finding solutions to problems of instability, which cannot be ignored. If you find any inconsistency or failure of your daily routine, try not to postpone its resolution, as this is the time to put things on the right track. How is this possible?

     As we have seen before in the Galactic Guide, Pallas is an asteroid that represents a great corrective energy, whose power is based on the organization, planning. From now until August 18th, 2012, Pallas will be in opposition to globular cluster M3, an enormous cluster in the constellation Canes Venatici that has a lot of stars: over half a million! Unfortunately, the advanced age of M3 means that many of its stars, more than 200, have exhausted their fuel, so they have entered their phase of variable stars, with an intermittent, unstable luminosity. Therefore, M3 represents aspects of our reality that require maintenance, either because they have been worn out by time, or do not have enough power to function as needed.

     The position of Pallas indicates a tendency to compensate for such failures through an effective strategy. It is therefore necessary to take advantage this trend to correct major problems, even those from long ago. Do not be afraid to make major repairs to your house,  body, mind, emotions or relationships. And there's no hurry: on July 31st, 2012, Pallas will make its retrograde station opposed to this cluster, extending the effect of this trend until mid-August. Of course, you may need to put a sign at home or on your shirt: "We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this work: Palas operating" ...
