August 1/2: Saturn ends its retrograde period in ecliptic conjunction with the Draco Warf galaxy, in parallel to the star cloud M24, indicating new possibilities and hidden resources

August 1/2: Saturn's direct station conjunct to the Draco Dwarf Galaxy and parallel to star cloud M24

     Saturn ends its retrograde period in the zodiac sign of Scorpio, stationary in ecliptic conjunction with a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. This is the Draco Dwarf Galaxy, a small galaxy located in the northern constellation Draco, the Dragon. This galaxy has the peculiarity of being very difficult to observe, because it is one of the fainter objects known. Furthermore, it probably contains a large amount of dark matter. These features, at an astrological level, indicate an ability to hide, symbolizing situations that remain unnoticed, hidden, blocked, unconscious.

     On the other hand, the Draco Dwarf is a galaxy with a high metallicity, ie, its stars have been processing in their interiors many elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, the main constituents of the universe. This usually represenst astrologically a great sophistication, refinement, and a great value, in the same way as precious metals like gold are rare and valued on Earth ... So what the Draco Dwarf hides is not necessarily something bad or negative. In fact, it is describing hidden riches and values.

     Saturn's station on the Draco Dwarf suggests the need to expose our hidden wealth, perhaps in the form of talents buried in the depths of our psyche. Saturn, in its typical confrontational style can be compelling us to use these riches, forced by circumstances. The process refers to the ability to draw on resources that had not been taken into account, but they are available if we make the effort to make them work ...

    This is suggested by the fact that Saturn's station also happens in parallel to the star cloud M24, which in itself is not an object but a huge hole in the dust cloud surrounding the center of our galaxy. M24 is actually a window that allows us to see inside the Milky Way, a light tunnel that allows us to move to another plane of reference. Therefore, it represents doors that open, possibilities that arise and allow us to see beyond the present limitations.

    It is therefore an excellent time to dip into hidden or undervalued resources, but for this we must be willing to use them. To overcome any  difficulties, we must have enough mental flexibility to open our minds so  opportunities and solutions may appear. To remain stubbornly chained to our present limitations will make us to waste this trend, which will last at least for two weeks with great intensity...

    This is an authentic treasure hunt, only it happens within us, making this quest an even more interesting adventure... Let's start digging in our own psyche!
