April 30th: Pallas, Mercury and the Whirlpool Galaxy generate great ideas and plans... Venus and star cluster M9 bring help to overcome obstacles, while Mars and M60 release a lot of energy to be handled carefully

April 30th: Mercury and Pallas are in parallel, Pallas is in ecliptic opposition to the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) and at 150° from  Saturn. The asteroid of strategies is at the same declination as Mercury, planet of communication. The results? Surely they will be in the form of excellent strategies, business, mental creativity, exchange, concepts and plans that take shape successfully. The Pallas opposition to galaxy M51 indicates that we have to show responsiveness to the good suggestions of others as well. Saturn is in parallel with the Witch Head Nebula, which can add an element of intuitive insight to the Pallas/Mercury mental explorations. Psychologically, it represents the possibility of making conscious contact with the Shadow of our personality. In Jungian terms, it would be recognizing a part of ourselves that is different from what we normally try to be. Recognizing and giving the right place to this opposite pole of ourseves is necessary and possible under the combination Witch Head / Saturn, although it may sound grim. Actually, it is a time to pay attention to our dreams, intuitions and oracles.  See what they have to say about that part of our personality. Venus at 30° from Jupiter and in opposition to star cluster M9 describe negotiations that run smoothly after facing some obstacles. The cluster M9 often poses difficulties, so that the opposition of Venus is favorable if fluency is required in financial matters, relationships, art and love/affection issues. It is a good time to make reasoned investments and major purchases. Mars squares the Lunar Nodes and is parallel to giant galaxy M60. This indicates the possibility of abuse, an excess of strength. M60 is a giant galaxy with a supermassive black hole from 2 to 4 billion solar masses! The transit of Mars in this galaxy puts even more energy into the pot... This can be useful to energize our daily lives, but it can also can be the source of accidents and violence if the proper cautions are not taken. Socially, conventional commitments will tend to prevail. So typical of M60, we will certainly have to pay attention to them.

March 26th: Mercury, Uranus, Vesta and the Cocoon Nebula bring renewal and generate new ideas; Venus in contra parallel to the North Lunar Node balances individual interests with collective ones

March 26th: Mercury in parallel to Uranus and Vesta, conjunct the Cocoon Nebula. Mercury is also at 150° from Saturn, at 45° from Jupiter ... This represents the emergence of new ideas, and the ability to make changes to conventional strategies, that probablydo  not work well anymore. This is good for stimulating mental creativity, inventiveness, and seek new solutions, renovations, to experiment with the new. This may require a special effort of mental concentration, to avoid interruptions. The Cocoon Nebula is a cosmic matrix where new stars are born, so it represents fertility, in this case mental, since Mercury is the planet associated with communication. Hence, along with Uranus, this mix represents new ideas in the brewing phase. Now is the time to change our course and start preparing for the future ... An open mind will let circumstances flow, to resist change or to continue with the same attitudes wil only bring problems. Choose! The other dominant trend today concerns the Lunar North Node, which is in contra parallel to Venus and trine the Sun. This implies the need to reaffirm the bonds with people we care about, while we keep our own interests running smoothly. This trend is particularly beneficial to take care of commitments, but we must not do so under much pressure. Equally important is to provide our confidence in a relaxed way, without manipulation or secondary interests. We must be satisfied if support from or to people we care most gets manifested, specially if at the same time we respect our own ideas and individual space. Balance is the solution today!

March 23rd: the Sun, Pallas and the Egg Nebula provide solutions to practical problems, while Venus, Uranus and star cluster M103 help to give a fair value to things

March 23rd: The Sun is in parallel to Pallas and conjunct the Egg Nebula. This represents an opportunity to make all kinds of repairs and improvements. The Egg Nebula is a planetary nebula or star in the process of dissolution, representing situations that need some help to keep running. Pallas, corrective in nature, is connected with the Sun through a parallel, indicating the possibility of compensating for the lack of strength with a good dose of maintenance service. This combination is very good also to develop expressiveness in the graphic arts. Venus is at 45° from Uranus and conjunct star cluster M103. This astrological combination refers to making changes based on a proper assessment in value. This is about giving fair value to things, situations or people who had not been previously considered. Perhaps it is also time to realize how much energy or importance we give to situations that are not really worth it. Anyway, the changes to improve in this area are highly favorable today. In relationships, we must act with great freedom and let others do the same. Avoid letting ideas interfere with your sense of material reality. Chiron conjunct the Pelican Nebula and square the Lunar Nodes is, on the other hand, an indicator of the effort to cure or heal, in the physical or emotional plane. Therapies that are applied today will have a profound and prrecise effect, so it is advisable to have a good diagnosisas well as and prescription. This mix also shows improved learning, study, research, but all this through a good organization effort. But the result can be a positive change in health and significant progress in learning, since the Pelican Nebula, although not very bright, hides inside an intense transformative and creative process.

January 24th: the Sun in parallel to Pluto and star cluster M25 indicates renewal of old patterns, but also an excess of power; Ceres and Venus balance the situation with diplomacy and protection.

January 24th: the Sun in parallel to Pluto and star cluster M25 indicates an important time to make changes and renew what is not working anymore at all levels. Above all, this planetary combination implies redirecting goals in order to focus energies in the right place, even if it means releasing prior expectations. This combination also strengthens the will and therefore can represent manipulation, dominant attitudes, power games ... Knowing this, it is up to us if we waste this powerful fresh impetus hooked in a futile ego display. On the other hand, Ceres stimulates the opposition Uranus/galaxy M88, which has been active for nearly two weeks.  Conjunct Uranus, Ceres can mitigate tensions in relationships with her protective attitude. The opposition between Uranus and M88 represents an independent and rebellious attitude, a great desire for freedom or autonomy, but in the process we may neglect issues such as security, power, solidarity, productivity, affection ... In short, everything that one does not take into account when struggling for autonomy. The Ceres lesson today is to balance extreme or out of control situations with a bit of protection and support. Venus square the Lunar Nodes goes more or less in the same direction, favoring social life, love, diplomacy, acceptance and solidarity. This comes in handy to balance or neutralize the dominant trends that we find as a manifestation of the Sun/Pluto parallel. Therefore, it is good to have a friendly attitude and show acceptance; but there's no need to be exposed to abuse.

December 13th: Mercury retrograde ends in contra paralel to the galaxy M85: see how to take advantage of it! Mars, the Moon's Nodes and the Witch Head Nebula balance passivity with an energetic impulse

December 13th: Mercury ends its retrograde period in contraparallel to the galaxy M85. When Mercury changes direction it often interferes with the flow of everyday life, so it is advisable to be alert and properly handle the practical problems and delays in communication that may arise. But there are ways to capitalize on Mercury stations, and galaxy M85 has the clue this time. M85 is a galaxy composed mainly of old stars, but it also has a considerable number of younger stars, which belong to another, more recent generation, which probably consumed most of its hydrogen. At present, M85 has stopped creating stars, so that represents creativity or fertility at a standstill. But Mercury comes to the rescue! As it stands in a contra parallel to M85, the fastest planet in the solar system can provide a boost of inspiration, a push to prosperity, and rescue good projects that have been stopped. To do this, we must reorganize in the course of this week, review and reconsider strategies. If you act right now, probably around the next weekend things will start to fow more smoothly.

The Lunar North Node in opposition to the Witch Head Nebula and square to Mars is an excellent complement to the station of Mercury, indicating a flow of action to counteract a certain passivity. It is a good time to do many things in general, but the high level of activity should correspond with a clear and objective analysis first. The Witch Head Nebula is conjunct the South Node Lunar and this represents an opportunity to learn from past experience, whether self, from others, or historical. This reflexive quality of our experience is what will allow us to align the right direction and intensity. The sequence goes like this: observe the present based on past experience, focus your attention on a target, and then act with energy.

The Sun at 30° from Venus, on the other hand, is usually good for business and prosperity, but this time it seems to warn of the possibility of capital dispersion. Venus is in eciptic conjunction with M55, a star cluster that is very loose and scattered. The Sun also makes a conjunction to the Cotton Candy Nebula, a dying star, and that does not seem promising either. Beware of potential losses trying not to invest where it is not necessary and avoid making major purchases.
