November 17 /18: Mercury and Galaxy Centaurus A overcome barriers to communication , Mars , Ceres and the Great Orion Nebula (M42) enhance productivity, Chiron and the North America Nebula put symptoms in evidence for healing

November 17 /18: Mercury, now in direct motion, is in ecliptic conjunction to Centaurus A and the Moon's North Node. Within a week of having finished its retrograde period, Mercury repeats the conjunctions it made to several galaxies in the past few weeks, but now in the opposite direction. The turn now is for Centaurus A, a galaxy with a strong emission of radio waves, emphasizing communication with Mercury´s transit. However, Centaurus A has a dense cloud of dust  passing right through its center, thus representing obstacles, as it blocks the light flow... Hence, this can be interpreted as an opportunity to overcome communication problems that have plagued humanity in previous weeks. In any case, this is a good moment for removing the barriers to the proper functioning of things, including household appliances, business projects, relationship difficulties, stagnant creative ideas... It is an ideal day to confront and overcome obstacles with relative ease ... Don´t miss this opportunity!

     Mars is in parallel to Ceres and contra parallel to M42, the Great Nebula in Orion. This  indicates a highly productive combination, focused on promoting emerging projects and on ing them the necessary attention. Martian energy, which is usually somewhat aggressive, is channeled now by two gret mothers: Ceres, the largest minor planet in the solar system, and M42, one of the most fertile areas of the galaxy in terms of star creation... This indicates a very productive frequency, ideal for pushing forward any type of work, especially if it is related to plants, nutrition, food, children, animals, nature and protection issues. Children and / or symbolic children will tend to be more demanding at the beginning of this week. Also any project that is in its early stages, like a child demanding attention and support. Concentration in the development of these symbolic " children " promises to give good results, so we need to be properly organized in order to energize our work and have a week full of prosperity ...

     Chiron ends its retrograde period and stays stationary conjunct the North America Nebula and in parallel to star cluster M14. This has the connotation of traumatic events that are put in evidence in order to be healed. The North America is very bright and is strongly enhanced with compared to its surroundings, hence the tendency to put things in evidence. On the other hand, M14 is a globular cluster of old stars, many of them variables, and is of elongated shape, an indicator that it has received strong external gravitational influence, symbolizing traumatic events or interactions. Chiron exposes its wounds and makes them conscious so they can heal faster. On the physical plane, it is possible that some symptoms will become more pronounced ths week, and this would be an indicator that the healing process is effective, not the opposite. Analyze carefully the manifestation of the disease and be guided by it for the prescription of an appropriate therapy .

     In the emotional and mental plane, it is a good time for insights and exploring precisely those areas of our personality that have more traumas, complexes, insecurity, theweak points... Talking about them will start the healing process. To keep things hidden will hinder a positive resolution. To express emotional issues will keep the flow of life and will be quite liberating. This astrological mix suggests the need to pay attention to underdeveloped parts of our being, showing clearly where we are dissatisfied  especially in matters of personal independence... That's our work ,  to give some space to marginalized parts of our being and to integrate them into our lives... Finally, with Chiron's educational modality , this combination is excellent for studying, taking tests, make presentations, do research, etc. . But for the internal policies of education in most countries or schools and universities, this reflects serious problems and disagreements, a widespread discontent with the overall education system, which will be strongly manifested and only will resolve over the next six months, before Chiron retrogrades again.

    I wish you a very productive week, overcoming barriers to communication and healing important areas of your life! I invite you to visit the Galactic Guide on Facebook and Twitter during the week, where you will find comments about deep space astrological trends and events :
