July 9th: The Sun, Neptune and star cluster M50 invite us to become aware of the physical condition of our reality, to fill the gap between the mind and the material world

July 9th: The Sun is in ecliptic conjunction to star cluster M50, and at 135° from Neptune. This reflects a moment when circumstances  invite us to reflect on our material reality, the physical body, our security and stability. Any shortage or difficulty in this respect will come to the surface. This can rise some concerns, but the important thing is to become aware of the real state of things in order to take action. Many problems can find a way to be solved if we get to the real roots and causes. Where comes this all from?

       The star cluster M50, located in the constellation Monoceros (the Unicorn) is an open cluster, a relatively young family of stars of about 78 million years of age. At the center of M50 lies a red giant star of type M, which dominates visually the cluster, contrasting with the blue color of its neighbors. M-type stars have a direct relationship with the material world, money, the physical body and our basic needs. M50 makes us focus on this frequency, so to speak, and the Sun, as it makes its annual transit conjunct with this cluster, activates temporarily the awareness of these issues, giving strength and energy to activities related to health, maintenance of the body, home, finances, administration and stimulates the care and conservation of our goods, whether many or just a few.


       The relationship of 135° between the Sun and Neptune will show areas where there is some material weakness or lack of physical awareness. Neptune is still busy transcending material reality, just after its station opposed to the Vela supernova a few weeks ago ... Neptune takes us very far mentally and spiritually, reaching transcendent visions, scientific discoveries (such as the recent announcement of the Higgs' Boson, the "God particle") and spiritual fulfillment. But today and probably tomorrow too, the Sun and M50 invite us to give a physical, tangible form, to our visions, to put our feet on the ground and compenssate for material shortages that have been generated by carelessness, distraction, neglect or evasion. There is nothing to fear, though! Having a practical, detached approach will help to fill the gap, large or small, that can exist between the mind and the material reality. From there, of course, important decisions in our lives can be taken... But that is another issue, which we will discuss tomorrow...
