July 8/9: Saturn ends its retrograde period in ecliptic conjunction with the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (M83), generating drastic but positive changes and new projects

July 8/9: Saturn is stationary conjunct galaxy M83. Saturn resumes its direct motion, resonating strongly with M83, a galaxy as fertile as transformative. M83, also called the Southern Pinwheel by its appearance, has an enormous transformation potential, as 6 supernovae have been detected in it. This is a large number compared to most galaxies, and represents drastic changes that can certainly be activated by Saturn's station. And, while this station can cause shocks and practical problems, it may also create new projects and possibilities, since M83 is one of the more creative galaxies in the nearby universe. It has a large number of baby-stars (called Wolf-Rayet stars), which are highly unstable, so we will need to wait a few weeks for the events generated by the saturnine station to stabilize and grow.

     In the meantime, do not be afraid to implement changes, it is a great time to shake off the dust and remove stagnation in any area where it is necessary ... In fact, Saturn can help, with its tendency to structure, to create a brand new order, one that fits the needs of the present time. And Saturn's tendency to responsibility will undoubtedly be hepful to handle new projects and emerging trends, just like taking care of babies. But the time and the dedication that we give to the newborn projects will pay off in the coming weeks or months, when we see that our strategies bear fruit. In these circumstances, the worst we can do is standing idle with our arms crossed, just doing nothing. We should revolutionize our lives and take responsibility for the changes in order to make the best of this Saturn station... It's worth the effort!
