June 24/25: The week starts with several simultaneous trends, including chaotic manifestations, unexpected eroticism, challenging commitments, intense dialogues and distant influences. Choose your frequency!

June 24/25: Mars is conjunct asteroid Chaos (Chaos) and contra parallel star cluster M30. With this combination, the least that can be expected is a chaotic development of circumstances, or perhaps a more spontaneous manifestation. But this depends on the particular situation: if we start from a disorganized environment, then we need to put on some pressure to fix things. This is symbolized by star cluster M30, in which the stars are under a really intense gravitational pressure. But if too much pressure has been there from the start, then the Mars/Chaos transit becomes an escape valve, dislocating and breaking schemes, rigid plans, mental and otherwise! Things can easily get out of control. Dispersion is thus a threat to our plans if we pretend to perform them in an orderly way, but this trend is good to soften any kind of rigidity and give some flexibility to balance excessive control... There will certainly be better times to make things work in a structured way.

     Asteroid Eros is at 45° from Uranus and in opposition to the Draco Dwarf Galaxy. This trend is related to sudden and unexpected attractions, which can be very intense. The combination Eros/Uranus rarely brings lasting relationships, but the impact they cause can bring out hidden aspects and needs. The Draco Dwarf Galaxy is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, which is extremely difficult to observe because of its  darkness, even with powerful telescopes. In the same way, it symbolizes unconscious aspects of our personalities. The Eros transit indicates the opposite: we'll be able to see clearly what our sexuality tells us about our emotional needs ... The attractions in themselves do not really matter: their value is as indicators that show unconscious aspects of ourselves. We should develop self-observation.

     The Sun at 135° from Juno indicates the need to respond appropriately to commitments and, in any case, to select them properly. To commit with the wrong people can cause discomfort and loss of time, but if we choose akin people, the result can be very rewarding. This astrological mix will find its strongest manifestation in the area of relationships, and in most cases, we should give a concrete and tangible response. It can work as a kind of thermometer to measure the quality of existing commitments: if there is no adequate answer, it is possible that the relationship will enter a critical phase. Relationships (love, friendship, family or work) in healthy conditions will, on the contrary, have a reaffirmation of its existing stability: it is a time to confirm trust through solidarity.

      Mercury is contra parallel to Pluto and in opposition to the pulsar duo PSR 1913+16. This trend reveals a particularly intense communication, either by the depth of the topics or the emotion that accompanies them. Anyway, this is a passing infuence, but certainly one that can have more or less permanent effects due to the mental changes it represents. It is ideal for research, alone or in teams, but the natural reflection of the dialogue can do better than solo activities and lead to more consistent and surprising findings. The pulsar duo PSR 1913 +16 is an indicator of strong relationships and magnetism. It's a great time for academic research, psychoanalysis, for revealing dialogues, but aso to avoid information leaks, irresponsible remarks, gossip and intrigues, because they can have a stronger effect than expected. This trend also favors theft and losses by distraction: beware!

      Mars is parallel to Jupiter and in ecliptic conjunction with star cluster M79. This trend indicates the power needed to reach far, both physically, from the mental point of view or in relationships. Mars symbolizes energy, while Jupiter, by its large size and huge magnetic field, represents the ability to reach far away. M79, meanwhile, is a star cluster in the constellation of Lepus, which was not born in our galaxy: it was absorbed along with its mother galaxy into the Milky Way. It represents things that come to us from far away, or things we do send to far places. In short, it's a great time to explore, to travel, to make significant shipments, to address physically or mentally distant people, to reconcile, to do new things, to promote things in different environments, and to bring our presence away from our normal sphere of influence. A negative manifestation of this trend would be an exaggerated effect of problems generated by intruders or people outside our normal environment. Do not raise hell into a territory that is not yours! But if you set your goals real high, I am pretty sure you will reach them during this week.

     Let's stretch and reach out our goals, then! Have a week with many achievements and let your personal development go  far...

June 6/7: The Sun, the Dumbbell Nebula (M27) and asteroid Chaos make us think and structure, while Venus and the Eagle Nebula (M16) combine to make good investments

June 6/7: The Sun is conjunct asteroid Chaos and parallel to the Dumbbell Nebula (M27). This combination may terminate or accentuate the chaos around us. M27 is actually a dying star whose high-temperature is symbolically related to transcendent ideas and issues: religion, spirituality, politics, philosophy, science. The use of the higher mind can give structure to disorganized situations, and is also excellent for scientific experimentation, and the understanding of situations in which there is apparently no sense. The mind is in  power today, giving structure and order, clarifying all sorts of ambiguous circumstances.

     But M27 is a planetary nebula, a star that is deflating, releasing its atmosphere into space. In some cases, this will coincide with situations that, far from being structured, become more chaotic through a lack of order, clarity or understanding. Too much thinking can bring confusion rather than clarity ... It will be better to wait for another day to organize, releasing control when there is no choice. For now, it should be understood that chaos plays an important role in our lives, such as does order. Let us not fear chaos, because a new order always is born out of it!

     Venus is in semisextile to Mars and Pallas, opposed to M16, the Eagle Nebula. This combination promises to be excellent in the area of finance, and is especially auspicious for shopping or doing investments planned in advance. Venus/M16 opposition represents fertility and abundance, as M16, the Eagle Nebula, has a large region of star formation, indicating productivity. However, caution should be exercised, as it will be difficult to refuse buying attractive things. Mars and Pallas represent an impulse that can lead to buy what is not needed. Still, it's a good day to invest in things of value or that represent something precious to us...
