August 31st/ September 1st: Venus, Ceres and Nebula M43 give new energy projects and situations that require a boost to produce. Pallas helps absorb the impact of the Antennae Galaxies, while Mercury, the star Regulus and M15 indicate intense and powerful communication

     August 31st/September 1st: Venus is semisextile Ceres and the Nebula M43, at 45° from the Sun and the galaxy M105. Ceres, the asteroid that represents Mother Earth, offers protective support in conjunction with M43, a nebula that may represent difficulties and inconsistencies. It's a good time to give strength to projects, relationships and situations that have a positive potential but need a little help to reach a productive level. In this sense, Venus helps cooperation, even more as it is in opposition to a pair of neutron stars: PSR 1913 +16. This represents strong attractions, quite intense, but temporary. But they can still be very useful to restore strength and faith with a little cooperation.

     The same is true of the semi-square (45°) between Venus and the Sun, which is conjunct the elliptical galaxy M105. In this galaxy, moderate star formation has been detected, contrary to expectations for elliptical galaxies, filled with old stars and no ionized hydrogen regions in which new stars can form. This indicates that the general trend is to find fertility and prosperity fin ways you would not normally expect. You have to gather with the right people to support projects that promise good rewards, but they need an energy boost. Do it "with a little help from your friends"!

     The Sun is at 150° from Pallas, which is in opposition to the Antennae Galaxies. The opposition of the asteroid Pallas to the Antennae Galaxies, a galactic collision in the constellation of Corvus, comes in handy to fix the problems that has left for so long the opposition between Uranus and these galaxies. Although the duration of this transit is in effect for only about a week, it is a good time to fix things after receiving the impact of people in recent weeks, or even for the past couple of months. The idea is to rearrange things differently after being infuenced by certain situations or personalities in the recent past. It is therefore a time of organization and to define action plans. Mercury conjunct Regulus and square to the Lunar Nodes and opposed to the star cluster M15. Regulus is a star of type B7 and strongly stimulates ideas, particularly in relation to culture, politics and information. This star gives it a particular intensity to communicating on this day ...

     It's a good time to express and communicate, to teach and transmit, but also to avoid extremes, fanaticism, overly personal views if you want to be spared of problems. Globally, this undoubtedly symbolizes important news from governments about international issues. The power of speech is on! Personally, it's a good time to communicate effectively and efficiently with people we care about. But it can also involve news about imposing unpopular policies ... In opposing M15, Mercury needs to compensate the discontent that represents this star cluster, since in its interior many types of stars of different nature co-exist in a chaotic way. Therefore, it symbolizes important disagreements  both internationally, and in several countries' local policies...  Hopefully, Mercury will help bringing good news before entering its own zodiac sign in a few hours!

Agosto 31/Septiembre 1: Venus, Ceres y la Nebulosa M43 le dan nueva energía a proyectos y situaciones que requieren de un impulso para producir. Palas ayuda a asimilar el impacto de las Galaxias Antena, mientras que Mercurio, la estrella Regulus y M15 indican una comunicación intensa

Agosto 31/Septiembre 1: Venus en semisextil a Ceres y a la Nebulosa M43, a 45° del Sol y de la galaxia M105. Ceres, el asteroide que representa a la Madre Tierra, ofrece su apoyo protector en conjunción a M43, una nebulosa que puede representar dificultades e inconsistencias. Es un buen momento para darle fuerza a proyectos, relaciones y situaciones que tienen un potencial positivo pero que necesitan un poco de ayuda para lograrlo. En este sentido, venus pone la cooperación, tanto más que se encuentra en oposición a un dúo de estrellas de neutrones: PSR 1913+16. Esto representa atracciones fuertes, intensas, pero pasajeras, que pueden sin embargo ser muy útiles para recuperar la fuerza y la fe con un poco de cooperación.

     Lo mismo puede decirse de la semicuadratura (45°) entre Venus y el Sol, que hace una conjunción con la galaxia elíptica M105, en la cual ha sido detectada una formación moderada de estrellas, contrariamente a lo esperado en muchas galaxias elípticas, llenas de estrellas viejas y sin regiones de hidrógeno ionizado en las cuales formar nuevas estrellas. Esto indica pues que la atmósfera se presta a encontrar fertilidad y prosperidad bajo formas en las que normalmente no se esperaría. Hay que juntar pues a la gente adecuada para apoyarnos a levantar proyectos que prometen, pero que necesitan una inyección de energía.

     El Sol a 150° de Palas, que está en oposición a las Galaxias Antena. La oposición del asteroide Palas a las Galaxias Antena, una colisión galáctica en la constelación de Corvus, viene como anillo al dedo para arreglar los problemas que ha dejado la tan prolongada oposición entre Urano y estas galaxias. Si bien la duración de este tránsito sólo es vigente alrededor de una semana, es un buen momento para arreglar las cosas después de haber sentido el impacto de la gente en las últimas semanas, o incluso un par de meses. La idea es reordenar las cosas de una manera diferente después de recibir el impacto de ciertas situaciones o personalidades en el pasado reciente. Es pues un momento de organización y para definir planes de acción. Mercurio en conjunción a Regulus y en cuadratura a los Nodos Lunares, en oposición al cúmulo estelar M15. Regulus es una estrella de tipo B7 y que estimula fuertemente las ideas, en particular en relación a la cultura, la política y la información. Esta estrella le da pues una particular intensidad a la comunicación en este día...

     Es un buen momento para expresar y comunicar, para enseñar y transmitir, pero hay que evitar los extremos, el fanatismo, los puntos de vista excesivamente personales para evitar problemas. En el plano mundial, esto representa sin duda noticias importantes de parte de los gobiernos en el plano internacional. En lo personal, es un buen momento para comunicarse de manera efectiva y eficiente con las gentes que nos importan. Pero también puede implicar noticias acerca de la imposición de políticas impopulares... Al oponerse a M15, Mercurio necesita compensar el descontento que representa este cúmulo estelar, ya que en él, coexisten de manera caótica muchos tipos de estrellas de naturaleza diferente. Por lo tanto, simboliza desacuerdos importantes, tanto en el plano internacional, como en el interior de varios países... ¡Ojalá Mercurio ayude a solucionarlos trayendo buenas noticias antes de ingresar a su propio signo zodiacal en unas cuantas horas!

August 5/6: The Sun, Vesta and pulsars B1913 +16 indicate intense and focused interactions; Pallas, Chiron and galaxy M95 suggest preventive therapies and a metabolism in the process of regeneration

August 5/6: The Sun in parallel to Vesta and the neutron star duo PSR 1913 +16. This trend suggests a creative, intense, but fleeting interaction. You can meet with key people to focus on common interests and specific tasks. The intensity of communication typical of a pulsar is favorable to research, study, exchange of revealing and substantial information, and indeed any association, whether physical, sports, mental, artistic or even sexual. On the other hand, we must be careful that this intensity is not so absorbing that saturates the mind and emotions. We must use this intense tool sparingly  and not abuse the time and space of others, because rejection can end up being as strong as the initial attraction. And if the plan is not together with others, it's still possible to use this tendency to get the information and analytical sense needed to learn in depth about the topics that interests us most. The lack of defined objectives can cause stress and obsessions: read, watch a good documentary, investigate the issues you are interested in to give a positive application to your inquiring mind.

     Chiron is contra parallel to Pallas and in opposition to galaxy M95. Chiron is retrograde and slowly fading the opposition to elliptical galaxy M105 and about to form one with the spiral galaxy M95. In other Galactic Guide articles we have discussed the healing effect the Chiron/M105 opposition, which is to let the ailments manifest and the body to activate its mechanisms of self-healing. The ecliptic opposition of Chiron to the galaxy M95 is still not exact, but this week, the Pallas contra parallel indicates the possibility of implementing healing strategies in a very effective way. The dynamics suggested by the contact with M95 show a metabolism that is regenerated, as the central bar of this galaxy, and the ring that holds within it, massive star clusters are being born, revitalizing the whole galaxy.

     This symbolizes a new revitalizing impulse that deserves to be strengthened, making sure that the prescribed therapies do not block this process. On the other hand, the formation of large star clusters points also to the possibility of forming deposits of toxins in the body, which can subsequently lead to cysts, kidney stones, diverticulae, obesity and other similar ailments. It is recommended therefore, during the period in which the two Chiron/M95 oppositions take place (from August 11, 2012 to February 9, 2013)  to apply preventive methods to cleanse the body, for which the Palas /Chiron contra parallel is of great help. In any case, we must be alert to avoid the above conditions, especially if they have planets around 8° of the zodiacal signs of Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius or Gemini in the natal chart. Also besides health, this combination is excellent for studyin and doing all kinds of repairs, large or small, in our surroundings...

July 30th: Chiron in opposition to elliptical galaxy M105 and at 135° from Saturn indicates struggle between independence and sense of duty

     During the next two weeks, until August 17th, 2012, Saturn will make a sesquisquare or 135° relationship with Chiron, indicating a stressful relationship between the sense of duty and individuality. Chiron is opposing the galaxy M105, which contains a supermassive black hole of 50 million solar masses in its nucleus. This extreme force of gravity indicates a dominant attitude,  which Chiron needs to resist in order to avoid stifling his independence and freedom ...

     The Chiron/M105 opposition is further complicated by Saturn transiting at 135° from Chiron. Saturn is the sense of duty that makes difficult for Chiron to escape M105's strong gravity (ie, enjoy his independence), at least not completely. This transit will last until August 17th, so that in this period of two weeks it is highly recommended to fulfill the responsibilities and finish pending issues. Thus, the absence of areas of concern or guilt will make personal freedom a fact and not just an elusive goal ...

Julio 30: Quirón en oposición a la galaxia elíptica M105 y a 135° de Saturno indican una lucha entre la independencia y el sentido del deber

     Durante las próximas dos semanas, y hasta el 17 de Agosto 2012, Saturno hará una sesquicuadratura o relación  de 135° con Quirón, indicando una relación tensa entre el sentido del deber y la individualidad. Quirón está oponiéndose a la galaxia M105, que contiene un enorme hoyo negro de 50 millones de masas solares en su interior. Esta fuerza de gravedad indica una actitud dominante, a la cual Quirón necesita sustraerse para no ahogar su independencia y libertad...

     La oposición Quirón/M105 se ve complicada por Saturno transitando a 135° de Quirón. Saturno es el sentido del deber que no deja a Quirón escapar la fuerte gravedad de M105 (es decir, gozar de su independencia), al menos no completamente. Este tránsito durará hasta el 17 de Agosto, de modo que en este período de dos semanas es recomendable cumplir con las responsabilidades y terminar asuntos pendientes. De este modo, la ausencia de motivos de preocupación o de culpa hará que la libertad personal sea un hecho y no sólo una meta difícil de alcanzar...
