March 25/26: Saturn and star cluster M72 accelerate the overcoming of obstacles, Neptune and the Vela Supernova disturb the routine in relations with a touch of transcendence, while Mars, Pluto and clusters M44 and M26 reveal hidden information



March 25/26: Saturn is in parallel to globular cluster M72 and at 150° from Mars. This can mean a boost to advance in the resolution of impediments or structuring projects. Saturn is just starting to recede in the zodiac as its retrograde period began about three weeks ago. Saturn is still conjunct the spectacular cluster Omega Centauri, but the present parallel to M72 indicates an acceleration of circumstances. M72 is one of the fastest clusters in our galaxy, as it moves at 225 miles per second. It is also one of the most disperse, and thus it means a rapid relaxation, which can sometimes be positive. During the next few days, it can mean the dissolution of obstacles (represented typically by Saturn). The quincunx (150 °) with Mars means even more power to resolve problems and work in chaotic, disorganized situations. And if it is a matter of organizing chaos, then you better relax in order to reduce tensions, adapting to the trend rather than resisting it...

     Neptune is at 30° from Juno and Venus, the asteroid and planet of relationships, respectively. So the social and emotional environment wil be very Neptunian this couple of days, which means we need to handle it with care. This is because Neptune invites us to experience subtler planes than daily life, and hence stimulate imagination. Be careful not to idealize people or see them as they are not. And while Neptune may have a deceptive manifestation, take into account this same trend can help us transcend the mundane, relating to people at other levels. Relationships can be as interesting as disturbing, but this trend also means the possibility of living moments of profound insight and inspiration with our loved ones, co-workers and friends... The still intense opposition of Neptune and the Vela Supernova takes us deeper into the reality of our social and emotional lives as if we had an X-ray vision. The strong X-ray emission from the supernova explosion symbolically emphasizes psychic perception, intuition, psychoanalysis and insight when relating. All this may take us a bit away from our daily routine, but the trend only lasst a couple of days more...

     Mercury transits Uranus at a 30° angle, and is in opposition to galaxy M95. This is another trend that may distract heavily our minds from everyday life, and change our plans or routine... The alignment of the planet of communication with the barred spiral galaxy M95 reveals an abundance of ideas and thoughts. M95 has a central bar that funnels gas at its center, causing the birth of a big amount of stars.... The transit of Mercury opposed to M95 symbolizes that this creativity is manifested mainly in the mental plane. Many of these ideas can be excellent and innovative, so we have to rescue them. However, the  semisextile (30 °) to Uranus suggests strategy changes, cancellations, distractions, accidents and delays caused by inattention. No doubt that is a day in which creativity dominates, but we must not neglect daily life by thinking about our own utopia!

      On Tuesday / Wednesday of this week, Mars sextiles (60°) Jupiter, which is in opposition to star cluster M92 in the constellation Hercules. This may give some strength to the opposition Jupiter/M92 momentarily, which is no doubt about situations that are losing strength, that literally "deflate", including possibly a devaluation in the financial arena. Since Jupiter represents excesses, it is likely that they will have to be corrected during these days. It is therefore a good time to find a healthy balance in finances and in matters where there have been excesses. This happens because cluster M92 has the lowest metallicity in the Messier Catalog, and hence it represents a lack of refinement and little relative value, even a diminished value. On the other hand, Jupiter can represent a positive balance in situations of financial crisis or shortage, which will tend to improve. The trend is toward equilibrium, so it is better to be cautious and not to engage in a process of loss or decline, but rather one of recovery and increase.

     However, the aspect that might prevail over the week is the square (90 °) between Mars and Pluto. It is not just a relationship of 90° between the two planets, but a more complex structure... Mars is forming simultaneously an opposition to globular cluster M3, and Pluto is conjunct and contra parallel to star clusters M44 and M26, respectively. The trend right now with Pluto refers to reveal hidden information, as M26 tends to hide ideas (it is obscured by clouds of interstellar dust), and M44 to express with intensity (its stars are of spectral type A). There might be some interesting revelations during these days, both personally and socially, but also in politics and in other areas as well. Mars tends to accelerate this process, helping to overcome insecurities indicated by its opposition to M3, a cluster with many variable, unstable stars. However, it is necessary to think about the consequences of acting impulsively and reveal or expose sensitive information in an inappropriate context. It is advisable to think before you speak or act... It is best to channel this trend to express valuable ideas that need promotion. And while the Pluto aspect still remains operating for about three more weeks, Mars will make us lose the shyness and stage fright during this week!

Best wishes!
