July 2nd: Jupiter and star cluster M44 indicate a day to express ideas, feelings, beliefs...and take advantage of past projects.

     July 2nd: Jupiter conjunct the South Lunar Node, in parallel to star cluster M44 (the Beehive Cluster or the Manger). This astrological combination represents the possibility of resuming relations and projects of the past and putting them to good use, updating them so we can take advantage. It is an excellent time to resolve pending issues of the distant or recent past. Unresolved things will require our attention and the  M44 or Beehive Cluster (it seems a hive with bees, when observed with the naked eye) gives an enormous expressive power to Jupiter, which by itself tends to exaggerate. M44 is one of the star clusters with more tendency to manifest, to seek communication, so we cannot just stay silent without showing what we think and feel. Of course, we must do so without exaggeration, as the excess of drama can be frightening rather than fix things.


   On the other hand, the tendency of the South Lunar Node is usually involution, so convenience can make us take refuge in the past, in our well-known routine and formulas, spoiling progress at a personal level. In world matters, M44 in parallel to Jupiter suggests a huge number of people demonstrating, so that the wave of protests worldwide for various reasons will be further intensified. (Incidentally, M44 and Jupiter are now at the same latitude of Mexico City, where elections were held yesterday and so protests are expected). And of course, there will be great moments of artistic interpretation and memorable performances with this mix. But only onstage, not on personal relationships! Let's express what whe have, then!
