June 13/14: The Sun conjunct Mercury and the Great Orion Nebula (M42) reveals mental creativity, productivity, excessive responsibility and overprotection

June 13/14: The Sun is in parallel to Mercury and conjunct M42, the Great Orion Nebula. This represents a powerful mental creativity, adding to similar trends in recent days. In particular, this one combines the creativity of the Sun with the typical ability to generate and upbringing of M42. The Great Orion Nebula is one of the most fertile regions of our galaxy, in the sense of generation of stars. M42 contains many young stars and stellar embryos. It is actually a giant cosmic womb! Add this to the mental activity of Mercury, which is strengthened by the power of the Sun in parallel, which, by the way, ejected a big flare this very morning. Even more so, this represents a powerful mental stimulus that can serve to create art,  to do a fertile research, to study, to communicate, and to manage issues related to children (M42 is the Great Orion Babysitter!), obtaining in all these areas a great success today.

     The problem with M42, on the other hand, is its tendency to generate many responsibilities. This means that if we let too many ideas in our heads, there will be no time to carry out in practice even half of them... So it is advisable not to overdo our brain and limit ourselves to develop only the best ideas or projects that arise in the next 24 hours. In the social and emotional plane, this astrological mix indicates a strong need for communication, but also the tendency to express possessive and overprotective behaviors... this needs to be stopped, in case it happens. This combination is also strong in economic terms, as it symbolizes an increase in productivity and sales. So it is advisable to provide the circumstances that yield higher profits...
