Uranus makes its direct station in parallel to galaxy M61, indicating a time of intense social revolution and a highly productive impulse

      In a time of deep crisis in our civilization, which can be read in the sky through the recent series of squares between Uranus and Pluto, would seem normal that there are moments when things are overflowing. They are small explosions, that, collected over several consecutive years, eventually cause profound changes in the social fabric and the course of history. The end of 2014 is marked by one of these times: Uranus stations direct in parallel to the hyper-energetic galaxy M61, located in the constellation Virgo.

      Any station of Uranus can match important events in the world, many of them spectacular accidents, but when it happens associated with a conflicting celestial body, the explosive trend is accentuated. Such is the case of the recent Uranus station, which is in parallel with M61, and indicates a season full of surprises, instability, drastic changes, confrontations, protests, and also a much-needed renovation, as in the case of the cuban economic embargo, which was obsolete.

      Consider the situation more closely: seven supernovae have been detected in M61. If a single one already represents drastic change and profound insights, seven supernovae create a sevenfold effect ... Definitely, things will not remain as they have been lately and although many renovations are positive and necessary, others may be abrupt and cause problems. As I mentioned in yesterday's article about the Solstice/New Moon, it is necessary to direct our energies toward new goals and objectives. And there is another factor in M61 that favors the emergence of new projects: it seems to be full of young stars, indicating a high degree of fertility and productivity.

       In short, new projects, started during this Christmas/New Year season, may prove to be particularly productive in the future. The destructive and confrontational aspect of Uranus may also release potentials from impediments and put them to work suddenly. Each person, depending on the position in which the Uranian station has in its individual chart, will experience in his/her own way this trend. However, it is clear that as a society we are all going through a time of crisis in which we must transcend schemes and recreate our civlization. Therefore, it is important to let flow in our personal lives new projects and release old landmarks. Resistance to change in areas that need renovation can then lead to situations out of control, which would be an indicator that you have to let go, release ...

      At the same time, many conflicivet, destructive and heartbreaking situations are happening in the world as we think about the Uranian station. Maybe we cannot change many of them, but what we certainly can change is our own attitude. And while the Uranian station M61 represents social instability, at the individual level represents a great opportunity to experience more freedom and renewal, as well as productivity, in the next six months.

      Once again: we must manage our energies wisely! Changes during this season will almost flow by themselves... We will have to dosify the seven supernovae of M61. We have one for each month and one extra! Please, do not try to use them all at once... Let's avoid cumbersome explosions.

     For now, I wish you a burst of creativity and productivity! Nothing better to start 2015.

    Happy holidays!
