September 8/9: Venus and Jupiter in contra parallel to nebula M2-9 indicate a time of abundance, but also of moderation in order to balance excesses

Venus in parallel to Jupiter, in contra parallel to nebula M2-9

       This combination suggests balance, and probably a way to point out excesses to be corrected. The powerful parallel Venus / Jupiter suggests abundance, but also emotional, financial, artistic excesses, and of course, overeating and drinking. In any context, Venus and Jupiter suggest a great pleasure, but its positive or negative consequences depend largely on how we manage this trend, in case we connect with its frequency.

      Nebula M2-9 (sometimes called the Butterfly nebula or Twin Jets nebula), located in the constellation Ophiuchus, has a symmetrical appearance as seen from Earth. It's actually a dying star expelling its atmosphere into space, that we happen to see it right from its equatorial plane. We can see both sides of the structure, and this symmetry reveals a nice average, without any excess for either side.

     The Venus / Jupiter pair will be about 48 hours in a strong contra parallel to nebula  M2-9, a connection indicating balance again, because it means that both celestial bodies are at the same distance from the Celestial Equator... It is clear that  nebula M2-9 helps balance, correct, moderate the excesses indicated by Venus and Jupiter, whose combination is definitely voluptuous. Therefore, it is advisable to exercise restraint in order to avoid  problems posed by excesses. For example, that would be the case with impulsive and unnecessary expenses... or too much partying, overeating, possessive love or ambitions beyond decency's control.

     On the other hand, it is also important to enjoy the abundance that can manifest either in the material, emotional or mental plane. But to make better use of it we must take it with equanimity, remembering it is a temporary, passing thing. Clearly, we must not lose our own internal balance and logic.
