June3/4: Mercury forms a grand trine with Neptune and Saturn, and an opposition with star cluster M28, which leads us to advance in the fulfillment of our duties and to relax from excessive pressure

June 3/4: Mercury forms a grand trine with Neptune and Saturn and opposes star cluster M28. This relationship may be interesting as it may accelerate projects, whether at work or domestic life. While the Mercury / Saturn combination is focused on the sense of duty, on commitments, the conjunction with M28 can bring a special force into the scene. This is because M28, a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius contains a millisecond pulsar, a neutron star that has been revived and accelerated by the contact with a nearby star. This "resurrected pulsar" rotates at a speed higher than the original, so it can be considered as a true cosmic accelerator.

     The ecliptic opposition of Mercury with M28 symbolizes the pull required to accelerate our daily activities, which may fow better than at other times, without too much effort. This is not bad to start the week, since Saturn by itself, and even more with Neptune may indicate blockages, weak or chaotic structures, complex problems, difficult situations. But today it is possible to move forward with determination and overcome impediments thanks to this Mercury/ M28 opposition, which, on the other hand, can also distort the sense of time. This can be very much as with the Mars' transit conjunct the Pleiades, this weekend, which are also a cosmic acceleratorr, though not as strong as M28... The mind can go faster than events, emotions go faster than our ability to process them.

     However, the opposition of Mercury with M28, a cluster which is quite compact, and therefore represents a firm grip, may also coincide with a tendency to release excessive pressure through evasion. In cases where there is an excessive pressure, it is best to advance what is possible (with the help of accelerated M28) and then relax the corresponding stress. Psychologically, it is better to meet commitments, but if they represent a burden, it is best to quickly resolve the main issues and then release the pressure. It is also possible that under this influence projects that had been stopped or that belong to the past can be revived , and this would be very positive. This trend is fleeting, it lasts no more than 24 hours, but it may represent an extra energy that can help us not to get stuck when the week has just started. And it's full of interesting astrological trends. Consult them right here in the Galactic Guide!

     Have a very revitalizing week!
