November 14/15: "Supermoon" in parallel to star cluster M34 and the Sun in parallel to stellar cloud M24 indicate enriching relationships, solidarity and union, solutions and new ways

November 14/15: "Supermoon" in parallel to star cluster M34 and the Sun in parallel to stellar cloud M24 indicate enriching relationships, solidarity and union, solutions and new ways
The closest Full Moon to Earth in 68 years, dubbed a "Supermoon" by the media, has perhaps a symbolic hue similar to that of other Full Moons. It is a moment of consciousness, like any other full moon. But the fact that it is closer to Earth than at other times indicates that consciousness "grows" because it looks bigger, even if only slightly larger.

     What a coincidence that this Supermoon happens right after the election of Donald Trump, who, of course, will continue to make the whole planet think and become aware of the whys. Sometimes awareness can be painful, but it is also possible to generate a creative response. The Super Full Moon is in parallel to star cluster M34, which is in the constellation Perseus. M34 has several interesting astrological characteristics, among which we can notice that many stars appear visually in pairs, suggesting a tendency to form associations. The metallicity or abundance of heavy elements in this cluster is high, and that symbolizes a high value: the relationships that M34 refers to are valuable, enriching and promising.

     The effect of the Supermoon great awareness is therefore union, at various levels, in our individual lives as well asworldwide. Everyone will take their own party, but M34 suggests valuable relationships, solidarity rather than discord. M34 makes us aware of the need for integration as well as its difficulties, but it shows us the way to repair the deep division that has now widened among American society and between the international capital and the world's population.

     The message of the Supermoon is therefore to reinforce integration, not discrimination.

    In addition, it is possible that during this week of Supermoon solutions arise and new possibilities come into vision, because the Sun, on the other side of the Supermoon, is in parallel to M24, a stellar cloud in the constellation of Sagittarius. M24 is not an object in itself, but is literally a hole in the clouds surrounding the center of the galaxy. M24 is a window into the interior of the Milky Way, and symbolizes therefore options, possibilities, solutions, transitions. It is possible to think that, a few days after the election of the United States, all governments and people are taking positions and looking for strategies to adapt to the new international reality.

     The combination of M34 and M24 implies the need to unite, to discuss, not to separate in discord. Obviously, in the existing climate, unity means strength, and even if there is a division in the world, it will become indispensable to unite in order to defend integrity. We have to support ourselves and seek solutions even if we are in different parts of the world. Also in our individual lives, the possibility of experiencing enriching, positive relationships is at hand with this Supermoon, so this week social events, teamwork, family life, friendships or romantic encounters are highly favored. Exchange and solidarity, as suggested by the parallel Sun / M24, can bring excellent solutions and the generation of new, interesting ways.

    Perhaps the Supermoon of 2016 is telling us that we must stop attacking each other, knowing beforehand that we won't stop, since we have not stopped in thousands of years. But she keeps trying, for those who know how to read her message and put it into practice in their individual realities.

Peace on the World!

Junio 21: Vesta, Palas y Saturno nos dan concentración para organizar estrategias, y el cúmulo estelar M34 indica mejoras y ganancias

  Junio 21: Vesta en conjunción al cúmulo estelar M34, a 45° de Palas, a 150° de Saturno. Definitivamente, un excelente momento para hacer planes y diseñar estrategias, principalmente enfocadas a hacer mejoras. Hoy pueden concebirse muy buenas ideas y pulirse para que después puedan ponerse en práctica.  El cúmulo estelar M34 representa un incremento del valor, ya sea a través de una cotización o una ganancia. Por ello es también un buen día para implementar estrategias de negocios. La combinación también es muy buena para hacer reparaciones estructurales importantes. En general, esta tendencia indica un esfuerzo estructural para hacer que las cosas mejoren. Quizás haya que pagar un precio por ello, pero valdrá la pena. 

     En lo social, M34 tiene mucha influencia ya que contiene muchos sistemas binarios. Es muy importante no dejarse llevar demasiado por el sentido del deber y del compromiso, de otro modo uno puede terminar con más peso sobre las espaldas de lo que tenía al empezar el día...  Por otro lado, en muchos casos, puede resultar ventajoso ajustarse a los planes de los demás, pues con un poco de flexibilidad, se puede acabar ganando más de lo que se aporta realmente. Tal vez sea necesario negociar para que el sentido del deber no nos quite tiempo personal. En cuestiones familiares, habrá que ceder en algunas cosas, pero no en todo. Como sea, con Vesta y Saturno, lo mejor es quedar en paz con los demás, y las mejores opciones serán las que nos conduzcan a la integridad y no a la enajenación, aún en lo pequeño...

May 7th: Jupiter, Uranus and star cluster M34 renew the value of our experience, Mercury and the Andromeda Galaxy open the mind to great ideas

May 7th: Jupiter at 45° from Uranus and conjunct star cluster M34 ... This combination represents the possibility of positive change by giving a new value to our reality. Star cluster M34 represents, among other things, an increase in value. You may approach things differently and recover or increase the value of your relationships, projects, businesses, redirecting and reconsidering different possibilities and trying new procedures. A change of direction or focus may be the best way to attract the stimulus we need. However, this trend may also represent an enormous desire for freedom and to change things on impulse. Avoid rebellion, exaggeration, overspending and encourage open-mindedness, renewal and optimism. New roads may be more prosperous than the old ones! Internationally, this combination may reflect a greater  revolutionary trend, as it has been everytime since Jupiter and Uranus restarted their synodic cycle in 2010/2011. Mercury is in conjunction with the Andromeda galaxy and at 30° from Pallas. This also represents the possibility of opening the mind to new things, as it is an ideal time to cultivate oneself and consider different points of view, to study, to learn, to access different people, cultures and situations. Complementing our vision with a cosmopolitan view can lead to great ideas, projects and bring us out of our daily routine. Definitely a memorable day for those who choose to take advantage of it!
