July 16/17: Mars, Juno and star cluster M21 inject enthusiasm and impulsiveness in relationships, while the Sun and the pulsar duo PSR1913+16 resume contacts with intensity. Venus and galaxy M108 prefer secrecy to overcome communication barriers

July 16/17: As the week starts, there is a special emphasis on relationships. On their proper handling will depend, of course, the results. It is therefore important to know the different frequencies at which the stars manifest social and emotional issues. Specifically, there are three different modes. Get to know them in order to choose the one you want or at least, to know which one you were unconsciously connected with...

      The first type relates to Mars, which is at 135° from asteroid Juno and in opposition to star cluster M21. This is a highly communicative trend, and it can represent both productive dialogues and fierce confrontations. The Mars/M21 opposition involves a great amount of energy and impulsiveness: star cluster M21 is very young, only 4 million years old, depicting an enthusiastic and idealistic, but little reflective character, like a baby's. The enthusiasm must serve as a motivation and be a bonding element in most relations, whether they are job-related, friendship, family or love partnerships. However, it can easily fall into a self-centered attitude, like a child having a tantrum, trying to impose his ideas. This may, of course, deteriorate the quality of communication and even become an aggressive struggle. But a conscious and controlled management of this energy will have a positive motivation. pareticularly for good planning. It can generate interesting and exciting new joint projects. To do this, we must learn to listen while also expressing our own ideas: communication is giving as well as taking. Do not be swayed by your personal ego!

       The second trend today relates to the Sun in opposition to the pulsar duo PSR 1913+16. This refers to a brief but substantial astrological combination, which represents a particularly intense contact with people who have something in common. It refers to an intensive exchange through affinity. Pulsars are particularly potent in both radio waves and X-rays and gamma rays. A pair of pulsars therefore represents an interesting exchange, in which introspection, deep dialogues and superconscious energies are present. This combination may well represent encounters with people from the past: PSR 1913 +16 is in parallel of declination to the South Lunar Node, a point representing past relationships. If so, it is possible that some relationships and projects reactivate in a particularly positive way. This trend fades faster than the previous one, so we must take advantage of the exchange in order to be left with something of value. Otherwise, the intensity will also quickly separate the very people who have generated it.

     The last trend is Venus in ecliptic conjunction to galaxy M108. Venus is usually the most sociable of all the planets of the solar system, but M108 is a galaxy that symbolizes precisely the opposite. It is located in the constellation Ursa Major, and although part of a prominent group of galaxies, it is relatively isolated from its peers. This of course may represent integration problems that can be solved or at least be greatly improved with the transit of Venus. It is a time to approach distant people, that are complicated or difficult to address or reach, for whatever reason.

     Relationship difficulties indicated by this galaxy can be resolved through diplomacy, kindness and the charm of Venus. Don' t try to push things too much, let them work by themselves... However, if you notice resistance, it may be best to handle things quietly and have the contact away from the bustle of the surrounding environment and social networks. This trend is best suited to share in private, to have inconspicuous but substantial exchanges. So discretion, coupled with kindness, can do wonders without the rest of the world knowing about it. By the way, this trend also affects financial issues, symbolizing excellent productivity (M108 may be discrete, but is actually generating many new stars), the overcoming of financial barriers, as well as undercover cash handling.

     As you can see, the initial trend for this week is largely social, either generating a motivating communication, the returning of past relationships or sharing out of the limelight.... It is definitely not a moment to stay alone! Enjoy it and manage relationships with consciousness to make the best out of them.
