August 9/10: Venus, Uranus, the spiral galaxy M94 and star cluster M10 indicate a fruitful weekend, full of openness and spontaneity in relationships. Ceres, Venus and star cluster M41 improve the economy through promotion

August 9/10: Venus parallels Uranus, is conjunct spiral galaxy M94, and contra parallel to stellar cluster M10. This trend represents exceptionally fertile relations. The only requirement is to be open to spontaneity and to be willing to interact with people different from the usual. This includes romantic relationships, and it is certain that during the weekend there will be strong, highly sensual and unusual attractions. In general, this trend can have good effects in all relationships: romance, partner, friendship, work, family. It is a time to give a touch of informality and variety to the social dynamics and put formalisms in the background. Where does all this come from?

       The ecliptic conjunction of Venus with galaxy M94 is the main indicator of fertility because it is a galaxy with a high star production rate. Therefore, exchange in general will be enriching. The Venus contra parallel to star cluster M10, meanwhile, represents the combination of different types of people. M10 is a star cluster in the constellation Ophiuchus, which combines two different populations of stars, and therefore symbolizes heterogeneity. This represents the need to deal with people different from the usual, and also having different attitudes in our social and emotional life. The atmosphere is best suited to relate with freedom and invites to experience something different. And if we are open to accept those who are different from us, then exchanges will be very enriching. And that includes finance, too!

     And since we mentioned the economy, there is a significant trend activated about it. Ceres is semisextile (30°) to Venus, in contra parallel to star cluster M41, and conjunct spiral galaxy M108. This trend implies economic restructuring, administrative optimization or implementation of advertising and promotional strategies to enhance production and sales. Ceres represents prosperity, while Venus has a financial connotation, and the distance of 30° symbolizes money, too. Galaxy M108 is a very fertile one, with a high rate of stellar production, and hence its association with abundance. M41 is a cluster with many stars of types B and A, whose combination represents the need to promote ideas. This star cluster also has many K-type stars, which are related to productivity. Hence the idea of advertising to produce more: this is a great weekend to push projects through adequate promotion. Take advantage of this!


     Asteroid Pallas is trine (120°) the North Lunar Node, and in opposition to star cluster M26. This trend is very specific and indicates differences in thinking that are overcome through setting and reaching common goals. Pallas is an asteroid which represents strategies, plans, actions to take, and its contact with the axis of the Lunar Nodes facilitates getting together with others to accomplish them. Therefore, it suggests community plans. But star cluster M26, which is also involved in this astrological configuration has a symbolism of difficulties in understanding... Despite its bright stars of type B, which emphasize the intellect, M26 is partially obscured by a cloud of dark dust, which symbolizes obstacles. Whether you use this trend to clear misunderstandings or to explain yourself better, you will need to set aside critical attitudes and replace them with cooperation. If you set a collective goal that goes beyond individuality and personal pride, differences between people will be overcome and this will allow a real breakthrough.
