January 7/8: Jupiter, Juno and star cluster M25 indicate commitment in relationships, while Saturn, Mars and cluster M71 balance relaxation with structure

January 7/8: Jupiter is at 150° from Juno and star cluster M25. This blend indicates the need to adjust and define commitment in relationships, whether they are family, friends or colleagues. Juno's applying transit to M25 indicates the need for good communication and a responsible attitude to people nearby. Meanwhile, Jupiter is still in parallel to the Eskimo Nebula, a dying star. This indicates dispersion, in contrast to the need of commitment indicated by Juno/M25. The idea is to balance things expressing responsibility towards those we are committed with and who probably received little attention from us lately... Tensions will naturally arise without a thorough dialogue and willingness to cooperate.

     But there are other trends suggesting a balance for dispersion, which doesn't necessarily need to be negative. Mars is in parallel to stellar cluster M71 and simultaneously squares Saturn and big cluster Omega Centauri. M71 is quite disperse in the distribution of its stars, but its high metallicity suggests comfort, ease. Star cluster M71 is ideal for resting, relaxation and vacations, so it can turn the normally intense energy of Mars somewhat diluted. However, squaring Saturn can help you have a structured performance, though perhaps under pressure. Anyway, discipline is important if there is chaos, or relaxing if the pressure is too high. This combination will show us clearly the elements causing performance below normal, and this week is excellent for correcting them.

       Mars also makes simultaneously a trine and a contra parallel to asteroid Vesta, which is in opposition to star cluster M92. This combination shows us which goals to focus energy on, since Vesta is able to ignore distractions and concentrate the martian energy in specific actions. M92 is a cluster that, due to its low metallicity represents basic, simple matters. These days it is therefore necessary to prevent entanglements and complications to deal the most basic elements of our existence, whether in terms of health, economy, work, education. In relationships, what should prevail is a transparent, sincere love, pure and without masks. Avoid the artificial at all levels! No fakes.
