April 13/14: Mars at 135 ° from the Sun and conjunct star cluster M4, revives an energetic impulse that can be channeled to make projects advance

     Relations between Mars and the Sun usually represent vitality and strength, and when they are at a distance of 135 °, it is advisable to carefully manage this energy. The sesquisquare (135 °) is an angle that refers to the consequences of our actions. To act impulsively under such combination Sun / Mars may have unexpected and undesirable consequences.

    On the other hand, it is useful to know that Mars is in ecliptic conjunction to star cluster M4, located in the constellation Scorpius, and very close to the red giant star Antares. M4 is characterized by being a scattered cluster, which gives a meaning of freedom, and is also obscured by dense interstellar dust, which suggests obstacles. Obstacles to independence get strongly stimulated, since M4 also contains a millisecond pulsar, a star that comes to life again, accelerating its rotation at very high speeds ... A true revival.

      The blend withM4 reflects the strong pulse of freedom that gains new strength. Given the highly bellicose archetype of Mars, many co¿nflicts are likely to revive at all levels. Violence in the world can get out of control, but on a personal level it is possible to handle this trend constructively if we are aware of it. Organization is highly recommended. Any effort to give some structure to this large reservoir of energy can be applied in a practical way and not be dispersed or let without supervision, causing problems.

      Under structured conditions, it is possible to use this trend to perform heavy tasks, which perhaps at other times would seem impossible or much more difficult to accomplish. But during this couple of days, a great effort is likely to bring significant achievements and progress, so it is a moment to work in depth and with great energy. It is also necessary to avoid being caught in destructive manifestations of this combination Sun / Mars / M4, not getting involved in aggressive situations that can easily grow disproportionately. Similarly, the use of tools and operating machinery should be especially careful today, in order to minimize the effects of a potential error in handling.

    In any case, this astrological trend indicates a new impetus for projects in general as it represents great vitality... Then it should be used to make them advance, as a good fuel injection. The good news is that solar energy -and the Martian as well- does not pollute or cost anything!
