November 21 /22: The Sun, Pluto, the Hercules Cluster and the Helix Nebula confront us with the use and abuse of power, and connect us with the necessary strength to transcend them with objectivity and balance

November 21 /22: The Sun conjunct the Hercules Cluster ( M13 ) represents a moment of power, since both celestial bodies have this connotation. The Sun, through its undisputed role as parent star of the solar system and its high energy level . M13, is the largest cluster in the northern hemisphere and is the richest in stars. If wealth means power, it is not surprising that this cluster passes over the zenith of cities like Las Vegas, Seoul, Aleppo, Nashville and Tokyo. In LasVegas, M13 passes directly overhead once a day, clearly indicating where the myth of material abundance and the worship of money is materialized. But the other cities are also centers of power from many points of view. The fact is that, at this date (21/ 22 November) each year, the Sun makes an ecliptic conjunction with this awesome globular cluster, indicating favorable days to generate wealth and make contact with people who can help through this process. In short. business meetings are especially favored and can give excellent results these days.

     On the other hand, this astrological mix symbolizes the power of society over the individual, and is a good time to measure where we are positioned in the wheel of economic and social power. It will be very clear what our position is before the conventions and social structures around us, whether we accept or reject them. Obviously, an adjustment is necessary, and we can implement important changes that will allow a switch in our position, if it applies... Internationally,  the Sun with M13 represents an abuse of power from authorities or other peopl,e that will be committed in a ruthless and cruel  manner, in various parts of the world (e.g., Aleppo! , but in many other places, too ). But not all is that bad  a positive Sun/M13 manifestation is the possibility of obtaining recognition from society ... Definitely, a day suitable for receiving prizes and for mass meetings (like M13's huge crowd of stars) ! Mass concerts can be fabulous...

     However, the issue of power continues on the 22/23, and probably until November 24. These days,  the Sun makes a powerful parallel to Pluto and the Helix Nebula. Pluto 's association with power is proverbial astrologically speaking , and symbolizes the psychological mechanisms behind manipulation. The Helix Nebula , located in the constellation Aquarius, is actuallya dying star that expels its atmosphere into space , forming a striking helix-shaped nebula. From Earth, we see it from one of its poles, indicating a trend of ideological extremism, which is also suggested by the high temperature of its central star. Further, a perpendicular shape to the main structure has been recently discovered, not visible in optical light images. This represents contradictions, which, combined with the power of the Sun and Pluto, seem to indicate clashes and fight, especially in international issues. Abuses commited by governments nd other people will continue without a  doubt. This parallel may also reflect  the incipient dismantling of the Fukushima nuclear plant, already in progress at this time. Pluto is associated, obviously, to plutonium and planetary nebulae like the Helix symbolize the dismantling due to the dissolution of the star´s mass in the interstellar medium ...Hopefully, this indicates a positive shift of the situation! Let's just hope that radiation will not expand as does the Helix Nebula ....

    Individually, we can resolve contradictions within ourselves or between people and transcend them, transform them into something more than a crude battle of egos and power plays. To accept and confront contradictions is the best way to transcend them and see that they are part of the same axis. To avoid fight, situations must be directed to a maximum of objectivity and a middle point, not to extremes. The other option is to have intense confrontations within ourselves or with others in the outside world. At least, in our own sphere of influence, we can choose. Psychologically , it is a great time to dig deep into the personal unconscious and regenerate problematic areas. This points to a deep cleansing of our mind and ideological system!  (Pluto rules elimination, so do planetary nebula). By the way, you can also do a deep cleansing of your body, with detox therapies, focusing mainly on elimination metabolism and purifying the kidneys, liver and intestines. Finally, some people will experience this in the domestic level, and is therefore a good time, until the weekend, to thoroughly clean the house, the office, the garden or the computer, and get rid of things that do not work.

     I invite you , as always, to visit the Galactic Guide on Facebook and Twitter throughout the week , where you will find more comments about the astrological trends of deep space :

September 11/12: Juno, the North Lunar Node and the Hercules Cluster encourage associations with abundance and power games; Venus, Pallas and M71 attract prosperity and relaxation

September 11/12: Juno conjunct the Moon's North Node and the Hercules Cluster (M13). This combination is excelent for doing good business, so it is a favorable time to bring people to work together on projects. The Hercules cluster is the most abundant in stars in the northern hemisphere, representing precisely abundance. Juno is the asteroid of relations and agreements, hence social contacts, love, friendship, family, and partnerships can benefit greatly from this cooperative trend. But there are not only significant advances in business: this trend will define who truly gives us the abundance we need. If exchanges are unfair, then the combination Juno/M13 represents power games and manipulation which we need to avoid. For under this trend, true power comes not from dominating others, but through am authentic and solid communion.

     Venus trines Pallas and is in opposition to star cluster M71... This reflects a tendency to make plans in harmony with others. It suggests positive exchanges, good sales and the ability to attract money, but also to let it go as easily. It is recommended to control spending.  M71 is a high value because of its metallicity, yet is quite disperse, so it tends to disperse the gains. Anyway, this trend also favors artistic creativity in a relaxed, harmonious atmosphere, and the ability to give and receive beauty in our immediate environment. Venus combined with M71 represents a trend that invites to a relaxing break, so it can make arduous tasks appear more difficult.

Septiembre 11/12: Juno, el Nodo Lunar y el Cúmulo de Hércules fomentan las asociaciones de abundancia y los juegos de poder; Venus, Palas y M71 atraen la prosperidad y la relajación

Septiembre 11/12: Juno en conjunción al Nodo Norte Lunar y al Cúmulo de Hércules (M13). Esta combinación es propicia para hacer buenos negocios, por lo que es un momento favorable para reunir a la gente que nos puede ayudar a hacerlos. El Cúmulo de Hércules es el más abundante en estrellas del hemisferio norte, por lo que representa precisamente abundancia. Juno es el asteroide de las relaciones y los acuerdos, de ahí que los contactos sociales, amorosos, de amistad, de pareja, y las sociedades se pueden ver beneficiadas de esta tendencia a la cooperación. Pero no sólo hay avances significativos en los negocios: se trata de definir qué relaciones nos dan verdaderamente la abundancia que necesitamos. Si los intercambios son injustos, entonces la combinación Juno/M13 representa juegos de poder y manipulación a los cuales habrá que sustraerse. Pues bajo esta tendencia, el poder no consiste en dominar a otros, sino de formar una verdadera y sólida comunión.

     Venus en trígono a Palas y en oposición al cúmulo estelar M71 refleja una tendencia a hacer planes en armonia con los demás. Sugiere intercambios positivos, buenas ventas y la capacidad de atraer el dinero, pero también a dejarlo ir con la misma facilidad. Es recomendable pues controlar los gastos. M71 es un cúmuo de alto valor debido a su metalicidad, pero a la vez es disperso, lo que tiende a dispersar el capital adquirido. Como sea, esta tendencia favorece también la creatividad artística en un ambiente relajado, los encuentros armónicos, y la posibilidad de dar y recibir belleza en nuestro entorno inmediato. Venus combinado con M71 representa una tendencia relajante  que invita a descanso,por lo que puede dificultar la realización de tareas arduas.

September 6/7: Stellar cluster M69 and Pluto substantially change our priorities, while Jupiter and the Witch Head Nebula bring revelations, as revitalizing as uncomfortable. Mercury, Saturn and the Pencil Nebula put structure and pressure on the mind, while the Lunar Nodes aligned with the Hercules Cluster and the Pleiades revive the confrontation between the people and their governments around the world

September 6/7: Pluto is conjunct star cluster M69, at 60° from Chiron. This trend is active during the months of September and October 2012, and refers to regular changes in priorities or the personal value system. The issues that had not mattered much before, now come to the foreground, and vice versa. Some relationships, situations, projects or objects from the past may be restored and, while others have completed their function by now and do not have the value they had before. This process is slow and may involve significant changes, so you have to take it seriously and with calmness, as it is a prolonged transit, that requires time to develop. Cluster M69 represents an increased value of things because of its high metallicity. This process, in contact with Chiron, also involves investing energy in relationships, potentials, talents or interests to which we have devoted little or no time (because of our work, routine, circumstances, etc), but they are a substantial part of our lives. Do not let them remain in a latent state! It is time to bring them out for the benefit of all.

     Jupiter conjunct the Witch Head Nebula, at 45° from Venus and at 144° from Mars and giant stellar cluster Omega Centauri. The Witch Head Nebula is characterized by its introspective and revealing tendency. The transits of the planets and asteroids by its ecliptic longitude indicate interesting insights and psychoanalytic processes, within or without therapy. The transit of Jupiter through this nebula illuminates the background atmosphere of this week with important realizations and discoveries that come from research, whether personal or academic. Anyway, what we find in this process of introspection will be valuable to our progress or that of humanity. However, the biquintile (144°) to Mars and Omega Centauri indicates that such realizations may go against what the established social standard says. This suggests more adjustments, like those of the previous trend (Plutón/M69) but with a shorter duration. Internationally,  it indicates unpopular policies whose hidden motivations are brought to light, causing discomfort, controversy, and, of course, more changes.

     Mercury conjunct the Pencil Nebula and at 45° from Saturn is a trend that brings structure and order to the mind as well as to our practical work in everyday life. The Pencil Nebula is a cloud that is being compressed by a supernova wind, representing a strong external pressure. It's good to comply with the responsibilities and duties, but the trend, which is semisquare (45°) Saturn, can exaggerate the demands and discipline. This can lead to stress and depression, or to a negative interpretation of things, indicating also news and information blockages or negative interpretations in the social and political arena. Ideally, it is best to use this tendency to give a substantial structure to our activities, but without causing frustration or unnecessary stress. Control your mind and your words! (but not too much).

    The axis of the Lunar Nodes is aligned with the Hercules Cluster (M13) and the Pleiades cluster (M45). This revives the trend indicated by the Annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012, enhancing the opposition between the masses and the governments. The Pleiades are relatively young stars rotating at high speed, and thus represent new trends in the world that push for changes in society. Moreover, the Hercules Cluster represents the power of money, as it is the most abundant in stars of the northern hemisphere. If you want to know more about this eclipse and this opposition, which is still in effect (eclipses have an influence of approximately six months), chek the following article from the Galactic Guide:


http://galacticguidexxi.blogspot.com/2012/05/may-20th-annular-solar-eclipse-conjunct.html

       This trend will last approximately until September 14th, and although globally it emphasizes a clash between the people and the power of corporations and governments, it can be used at a personal level to pick up fresh ideas that we've had in the past and can be applied in the present. Financially, it's a good time to save and make investments or major purchases, gather resources, make collects, charities, or to do really good business with your work team.

Septiembre 6/7: Plutón y M69 cambian sustancialmente nuestras prioridades, mientras Júpiter y la Nebulosa Cabeza de Bruja traen revelaciones tan revitalizantes como incómodas. Mercurio, Saturno y la Nebulosa del lápiz presionan y estructuran la mente; los Nodos Lunares con el Cúmulo de Hércules y las Pléyades reviven la confrontación entre los pueblos y sus gobiernos

Septiembre 6/7: Plutón en conjunción al cúmulo estelar M69, a 60° de Quirón.  Esta tendencia abarcará la mayor parte de los meses de Septiembre y Octubre 2012, y se refiere a cambios en las prioridades habituales o en el sistema de valores personal. Las cuestiones que antes no importaban tanto, ahora pasarán a primer plano, y viceversa. Algunas relaciones, situaciones, proyectos u objetos del pasado podrán rescatarse, mientras que otras ya cumplieron su función y no tienen el valor que tenían antes. Este proceso es lento y puede implicar cambios significativos, así que hay que tomarlo con toda seriedad y calma, pues es un tránsito prolongado que lleva tiempo en desarrollarse. El cúmulo M69 representa un valor aumentado de las cosas debido a su alta metalicidad. Este proceso, al hacer contacto con Quirón, implica también el desarrollar relaciones, potenciales, talentos o intereses a los cuales se les ha dedicado poco o ningún tiempo, pero que forman parte sustancial de nuestras vidas. ¡No los dejen seguir en un estado latente! Es el momento de sacarlos a la luz para beneficio de todos.

     Júpiter en conjunción a la Nebulosa Cabeza de Bruja, a 45° de Venus y a 144° de Marte y Omega Centauri. La Nebulosa Cabeza de Bruja se caracteriza por su tendencia introspectiva y reveladora; los tránsitos de los planetas y asteroides por su longitud eclíptica indican interesantes tomas de conciencia y procesos psicoanalíticos, dentro o fuera del consultorio. El paso de Júpiter por esta Nebulosa ilumina el trasfondo de esta semana con importantes tomas de conciencia y descubrimientos que provienen de investigaciones, personales o académicas. Como sea, lo que encontremos en cualquier proceso de introspección será valioso para nuestro avance personal o el de la humanidad. Sin embargo, el biquintil (144°) con Marte y Omega Centauri indica que dichas tomas de conciencia puedan ir en contra de lo que el estándar social establece. Esto augura más ajustes, parecidos a los de la tendencia anterior (Plutón/M69) pero de menor duración. Y en el plano internacional, indica políticas impopulares cuyas motivaciones ocultas salen a la luz, provocando incomodidad, controversia, y, por supuesto, cambios.

     Mercurio en conjunción a la Nebulosa del Lápiz y a 45° de Saturno es una tendencia que se refiere a estructurar y ordenar la mente, así como el trábajo práctico en la vida cotidiana. La Nebulosa del Lápiz es una nube que está siendo comprimida por un viento de supernova, lo que representa una fuerte presión externa. Es bueno cumplir con las responsabilidades y deberes, pero la tendencia, con la semicuadratura a Saturno, es a exagerar en la exigencia y la disciplina. Esto puede provocar estrés y depresión, o una interpretación negativa de las cosas, lo que indica también noticias e información boqueada o negativa en el plano social y político. Lo ideal es usar esta tendencia para darle un orden sustancial a nuestras actividades, pero sin provocar una frustración o un desgaste innecesarios. ¡Controlen su mente y sus palabras! (pero no demasiado).

    El eje de los Nodos Lunares está alineado con el Cúmulo de Hércules (M13) y el cúmulo de las Pléyades (M45). Aquí se toca el punto del eclipse anular de Sol del 20 de Mayo 2012, y por lo tanto, se reaviva la tendencia a radicalizar la oposición entre las masas y los gobiernos. Las Pléyades son estrellas relativamente jóvenes y girando a gran velocidad, por lo que representan las nuevas tendencias en el mundo y que presionan por cambios en la sociedad. Por otro lado, el Cúmulo de Hércules representa el poder del dinero, ya que es el más abundante en estrellas del hemisferio norte de la esfera celeste. Si desean saber más acerca de esta tendencia del eclipse, que todavía está vigente (los eclipses tienen una vigencia aproximada de seis meses), chequen el siguiente artículo de la Galactic Guide:

http://galacticguidexxi.blogspot.mx/2012/05/mayo-20-eclipse-anular-de-sol-en.html         

       Esta tendencia durará aproximadamente hasta el 14 de Septiembre, y si bien en el plano mundial enfatiza un choque entre la gente y el poder de las corporaciones y gobiernos, en lo personal se puede usar para retomar ideas renovadoras que ya hemos tenido en el pasado y aplicarlas al presente. En lo financiero, es un buen momento para ahorrar y hacer inversiones o compras importantes, juntar recursos, hacer colectas, o buenos negocios formando un equipo de trabajo.

September 5/6: Uranus, Pallas and the Draco Spindle Galaxy help overcome obstacles; Mercury, Mars, and galaxies M95, M98 energize the mind, while Venus and galaxies M81, M82 fertilize exchange and boost productivity

September 5/6: Uranus conjunct Pallas, both in ecliptic opposition to the Spindle Galaxy in the constellation Draco. Uranus slowly separates from an opposition to the Antennae Galaxies to form another  with the Draco Spindle. The Spindle Galaxy is characterized by great difficulties and limitations, within which it is possible to develop some creativity. But the opposition of Uranus represents the opportunity to transcend barriers, even if they are great. The Spindle also implies restrictions in the sense of control, either at a personal or political and social level, but with Uranus in opposition these limitations can hardly resist change.

     But, if any violent manifestation happens, it might develop into a fierce struggle. So it is better to use this important astrological combination, which will last almost the entire month of September 2012, to focus on the renovation of certain aspects of our reality that have caused chronic difficulties or represent barriers that have not yet been overcome. And this week, the Uranus/Palas conjunction will help tremendously to work in a strategic and planned way with that purpose. There might be great ideas and creations! And of course, this will favor the renewal movements throughout the world.

     Mercury conjunct the galaxy M95, in sextile to Mars, which is contra parallel to galaxy M98. This combination refers to the power of words, of thought, of information. This certainly facilitates the exchange of information and emphasizes the need to assert one's own thinking. It is a very favorable atmosphere for advertising, propaganda, political activism, to increase activity in the transportation industry and the media, for example in companies that offer such services, and to make our daily work or home routine. It's a good time to study, write, teach, think, research, communicate, exercise, travel, and do many different things in record time ...

     However, it is likely that we'll find strong resistance to our initiatives from others or the environment, so it is advisable to be patient and not cause unnecessary confrontations, unless we want to take protests and complaints to their fullest. The ideal is to channel this trend seeking to have a lot of activity in which the mind can be occupied productively, and so the results will be excellent. The galaxy M95 is highly creative, and the passage of Mercury represents an outlet for that creative mind. And M98 is a galaxy that goes against the flow, it opposes what most people think... Hence, combined with Mars, which is pretty stubborn, it suggests provocations, discussions that can, of course, be avoided if one is consciously alert. Drive your car carefully!

     Venus is conjunct galaxies M81, M82 and trine the Moon's North Node and the Hercules Cluster (M13). The transit of Venus in ecliptic conjunction by this pair of galaxies shows a strong impact of social contacts or artistic events over some (many) people. This impact can be very intense, but short-lived, and result in a huge motivation as much as in disturbing situations. It is therefore necessary to check that  contacts, whether they are social, love, friendly, family or casual, imply a fairness, avoiding unwanted influences while also measuring one's influence on others so we do not disturb them.

     If handled well, this trend may indicate fertile and enriching exchanges instead of interruptions and distractions caused by external factors (or ourselves). Financially, it represents mergers, the union of companies, and meetings in major corporations and institutions. The North Node is conjunct the Hercules Cluster, representing the power of money... At an individual level, this indicates the possibility of losses due to competition (with which you must be careful) and on the other hand, a huge creativity and enhanced production if we react dynamically to the motivation of favorable people and suitable environments. Put yourself in places that encourage productivity and prosperity!

January 28th: Various combinations of planets, asteroids, galaxies, supernovae and stellar clusters indicate different levels of experience: high-energy work, harmonic improvements, important reconciliations, liberation of the mind. Choose the ones to connect with to enhance your activities...

January 28th - For thrill seekers: Mars is at 135° from the Sun, the Supernova 1987A,  in a contra parallel to Ceres and star cluster M11. This astrological combination indicates a high energy environment, which can easily get out of control and cause damage by impulsivity or aggression. The ideal is to have a defined plan of action, a goal to reach and direct energy constructively in that direction. The push is strong enough to make our prosperity advance, activating the abundance available and fertilizing our environment for future projects All this is indicated by the contact with Ceres and the prolific and rich star cluster M11. Supernova 1987A is a very young star explosion, and represents a gigantic dynamo which can either be the engine for great accomplishments or an indicator of destructive events. Direct your energies consciously! Fortunately, at the same time, Jupiter is located at 45° from Venus and Vesta, which indicates that there may be peace and harmony if we choose to connect with a different, less ambitious frequency and prefer domestic tranquility. However, it is important to have specific goals to reach in our immediate environment, such as ordering the house, cleaning the office, or any action that represents an improvement. And of course, this favors the administrative tasks and all kinds of work with art. Juno, the relationship asteroid par excéllence, is conjunct the Hercules Cluster (M13) and square to Neptune and star cluster M15. This combination is dramatic, intense, and seems to describe situations in which it is necessary to reach agreements among people with different viewpoints, in sharp conflict. Of course it is a daunting task, but the unifying power and harmony of Juno are greatly enhanced by its combination with the Hercules cluster, which is the largest and richest in the northern hemisphere. This is certainly a great help for the situations represented by Neptune, indicating disruptions, a coexistence with a high degree of indifference and competition, and atmospheres of discord and separation. Through hard work, it is possible to overcome differences and unify wills together for common goals that are for the benefit of everyone. It is therefore advisable to cooperate and dialogue to solve problems and have great achievements in marriage, love, friendship, business, family relationships ... Of course, some couples may confront and have arguments, and, driven by frustration, will end up splitting. Only those relationhips where the link is true and deep will be able to overcome superficial differences. Another interesting trend today is Mercury in contra parallel to the Black Eye Galaxy (M64), at 60° from Uranus, at 90° from Jupiter, at 45° from Vesta. It's a busy day for the planet of communication! Among its activities,  the most important might be the contra parallel with M64, a galaxy representing problems with assimilating different ideas. But Mercury will ensure that we consider to reassess our ideas, even those that are opposed to our conscious will. It's a great day to open new options inside our head, to think freely and not using the thoughts of others, what we've learnt before or already structured ideologies as a point of refference. Freeing the mind of the regular programming will be not only enjoyable, but quite useful in order to be alert and in touch with reality as it is, without filters. In such an environment, it is possible to advance in intellectual projects, and to make short or long enriching trips, whether at the physical, mental or astral planes. Do not forget to take photos and bring back some souvenirs! Good luck!

Enero 28: varias combinaciones entre planetas, asteroides, galaxias, supernovas y cúmulos estelares indican diferentes experiencias en distintos niveles: trabajos altamente energéticos, mejoras armónicas, importantes reconciliaciones, liberación de la mente. Escojan con cuáles conectarse según sus actividades...

Enero 28 - Para los amantes de la adrenalina: Marte está a 135° del Sol, de la Supernova 1987A, en un contraparalelo a Ceres y al cúmulo estelar M11. Esta combinación astrológica indica un ambiente altamente energético, que fácilmente puede salirse del control y causar daños por impulsividad o agresividad. o ideal es tener un plan de acción definido, una meta a alcanzar y dirigir la energía de manera constructiva en esa dirección. El empuje es lo suficientemente fuerte como para hacer avanzar nuestra prosperidad, activando la abundancia disponible y fertilizando nuestro entorno para futuros proyectos, lo que es indicado por Ceres y el prolífico y rico cúmulo estelar M11. La Supernova 1987A es una explosión estelar muy joven, y representa un gigantesco dínamo que puede tanto ser el motor para grandes realizaciones como un indicador de eventos destructivos. ¡Canalicen bien su dinamismo! Afortunadamente, al mismo tiempo, Júpiter se sitúa a 45° de Venus y de Vesta, lo cual indica que puede haber paz y tranquilidad si elegimos conectarnos con una frecuencia más tranquila internamente y menos ambiciosa hacia el exterior. De todos modos, es importante tener objetivos concretos a realizar en nuestro entorno inmediato, como ordenar la casa, limpiar la oficina, o cualquier acción que represente una mejora. Y por supuesto, esto favorece el trabajo administrativo y en todo tipo de arte. Juno, el asteroide de las relaciones por excelencia,  está en conjunción al cúmulo de Hércules (M13) y en cuadratura a Neptuno y al cúmulo estelar M15. Esta combinación es dramática, intensa, y parece describir situaciones en las que se trata de hacer pactar y armonizar a personas con puntos de vista diferentes, en conflicto. Por supuesto que se trata de una labor titánica, pero el poder de la unión y la armonía de Juno aumenta gracias a su conjunción con el cúmulo de Hércules, que es el más grande y más rico en estrellas del hemisferio norte. Esto es sin duda una gran ayuda para la situación representada por Neptuno, que indica una gran desorganización, una convivencia con un alto grado de indiferencia y competencia, y atmósferas de discordia y separación. A través de un gran esfuerzo, es posible superar diferencias y juntar voluntades para objetivos comunes y de beneficio para todos. Por ello, es recomendable cooperar y dialogar para solucionar problemas y tener grandes logros en la pareja, el amor, la amistad, los negocios... Eso sí, algunas parejas pueden confrontarse, y, llevadas por la frustración, terminarán separándose. Sólo resistirán las uniones donde el vínculo verdadero y profundo sea superior a las diferencias superficiales. Y hablando de otros temas, Mercurio se sitúa en contraparalelo a la Galaxia del Ojo Negro(M64), a 60° de Urano, a 90° de Júpiter, a 45° de Vesta. Es un día de mucha actividad cotidiana para el planeta de la comunicación. Entre sus actividades destaca el contraparalelo con M64, una galaxia que representa problemas para similar ideas diferentes. Pero Mercurio se encargará de que revaloremos incluso ideas que consideramos ajenas a nuestra realidad. Es un excelente día para abrir nuevas opciones en nuestra cabeza, de pensar libremente y no tomando como punto de referencia los pensamientos de otros o ideologías estructuradas. Liberar a la mente de la programación habitual resultará no sólo agradable, sino bastante útil para mantenerse alerta y en contacto con la realidad como es, sin filtros. En ese ambiente, es posible avanzar en proyectos intelectuales, así como realizar viajes enriquecedores, tanto en el plano físico como en el mental o el astral. ¡No olviden tomar fotos y traer de regreso algún souvenir! ¡Suerte!

January 26th: Juno, Vesta and the Hercules Cluster indicate powerful relations; Mercury, star cluster M56 and the North Lunar Node focus the mind in a constructive dynamic threatened by dispersion

January 26th: Juno in parallel to Vesta, conjunct the Hercules Cluster (M13) and at 30° from Saturn. This shows a great power that is manifested in terms of relationships. M13, the Hercules Cluster, is the largest swarm of stars in the northern hemisphere and represents a great power of attraction. It follows that today, and until January 28th, we may have important contacts and experiences in different fields: romantic and sexual, friendship, business, family relations, intellectual learning. You have to devote time to relationships that really matter and that actualy give you benefits. Be careful not to generate imbalances by supressing your individuality when relating to others, who, consciously or not, can act in a dominant manner. Mercury is in parallel and at 45° from the North Lunar Node, and conjunct the star cluster M56. This transit emphasizes the power of communication and the need to direct thoughts into good actions. With a constructive approach agreements can be established, strategies can be set-up,  positive exchanges may take place, good sales and negotiations can be materialized. The lack of goals, structure and dispersion, on the other hand, can bring frustration. Under this ephemeral transit it is also good to prevent potential losses and robberies caused by carelessness or distraction.

Enero 26: Juno, Vesta y el Cúmulo de Hércules indican relaciones poderosas, Mercurio, el cúmulo estelar M56 y el Nodo Norte Lunar enfocan la mente en una dinámica constructiva amenazada por la dispersión

Enero 26: Juno en paralelo a Vesta, en conjunción al Cúmulo de Hércules (M13) y a 30° de Saturno. Esto habla de un gran poder que se manifiesta en el plano de las relaciones. M13, el Cúmulo de Hércules, es el enjambre de estrellas más grande del hemisferio norte en nuestra galaxia y representa un gran poder de atracción. De ahí se deduce que hoy, y hasta el 28 de Enero, pueda haber importantes contactos y experiencias en lo romántico y sexual, en la amistad, en los negocios, en las relaciones familiares, en el aprendizaje intelectual. Hay que dedicarle tiempo a las relaciones que realmente nos importan y que nos benefician, pero también hay que tener cuidado de no desbalancear el propio camino individual por estar conectado a otros, quienes, conscientemente o no, pueden actuar de manera dominante. Mercurio en paralelo y a 45° del Nodo Norte Lunar, en conjunción con el cúmulo estelar M56. Este tránsito enfatiza el poder de la comunicación y la necesidad de dirigir bien nuestro pensamiento y nuestras acciones. Con un enfoque constructivo se pueden establecer acuerdos, planear estrategias, hacer intercambios, buenas ventas y negociaciones. La falta de objetivos, de estructura y la dispersión, por otro lado, pueden traer consigo frustración. M56 es un cúmulo disperso y representa una falta de disciplina. Bajo este pasajero tránsito, también es bueno prever, cuidándose de robos y extravíos por distracción.

November 2nd: Venus and Mercury at 90° from Chiron indicate an optimistic approach in communication and relationships that can help to deal with difficult situations and to integrate isolated parts of our personality. Social interaction can be positive, but to be truly effective we must make an effort of diplomacy and gentleness. Otherwise, being too assertive can cause rejection or defensiveness. But with the right attitude and a willingness to help, it is possible to join groups or projects where exchange is positive. This combination will also help in many cases to improve health through therapies applied today, both psychological and physical. Don't forget that Venus and Mercury are still conjunct the Hercules Cluster (M13) and this gives them great strength in a positive, harmonic frequency. Don't let it just pass! Uranus at 60° from Pallas represents changes in strategy, positive renovations, new plans. It's an excelent time for fresh thinking and designing new and innovative strategies in all fields. It also favors  repairs, work with computers and technology in general, but especially mental creativity. Today, great ideas can arise, and we should develop and put into operation those that have been around in our minds for a while.

Noviembre 2: Venus y Mercurio, impulsados por el Cúmulo de Hércules, le levantan el ánimo a Quirón; Urano se conecta con Palas para generar renovaciones y grandes ideas

Noviembre 2: Venus y Mercurio a 90° de Quirón indican un enfoque optimista en la comunicación y en las relaciones que puede ayudar a compensar situaciones difíciles y a integrar partes aisladas de nuestra personalidad. La interacción social puede ser positiva, pero para que realmente sea efectiva hay que hacer un esfuerzo de aplicación en el cual tiene que predominar la diplomacia, la delicadeza. De otro modo, una actitud demasiado directa puede provocar una actitud defensiva o de rechazo. Pero con la actitud adecuada y una buena voluntad, es posible integrarse a grupos o proyectos donde el intercambio es positivo. Esta combinación también ayudará en muchos casos a mejorar la salud con las terapias que se apliquen hoy, tanto a nivel psicológico como físico. No hay que olvidar que Venus y Mercurio todavía están en conjunción al cúmulo de Hércules (M13) y que ello les da mucha fuerza armónica y positiva. Aprovéchenla! Urano a 60° de Palas representa cambios de estrategia, renovaciones positivas, nuevos planes.
