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!

July 22nd: Galaxies M81 and M82 share their abundance through constructive efforts

July 22nd: The Sun conjunct the Cigar Galaxy (M82) and Bode's Galaxy (M81) and at 72° from Saturn.
This position reveals productive interactions, so it is extremely favorable particularly  for business relationships. Today's meetings can be especially useful and productive. Financially, the trend is towards good and big investments. Psychologically, it is good to work on the notion of abundance and prosperity. However, we need to measure to what extent is it positive to have an influence over others or being influenced by them.
Jupiter square Pallas is a constructive combination and represents an opportunity to materialize plans, to find a concrete support for ideas. In order to do this probably a big effort needs to be made, but it can give very good results.
Venus at 150° from the Lunar Nodes indicates that in  relationships it is best to combine ideas with feelings, intuition with theory,  protection with freedom. It may be necessary to adapt to other's  emotional rhythm in order to flow in everyday life, and in social and romantic affairs.

Julio 22: Las galaxias M81 y M82 nos comparten su abundancia a través de esfuerzos constructivos

Julio 22: El Sol en conjunción a la galaxia del Puro (M82) y a la Galaxia de Bode (M81), y a 72° de Saturno.
Esta posición revela interacciones productivas, por lo que es muy recomendable en especial para las relaciones de negocios. Los encuentros del día de hoy pueden ser especialmente útiles y productivos. Financieramente, se presta a buenas y grandes inversiones. Psicológicamente, es propicio trabajar sobre la noción de abundancia y prosperidad. Sin embargo, hay que medir hasta qué grado es positivo infuir sobre otros o dejarse influir por ellos.
Júpiter en cuadratura a Palas es una relación constructiva y representa una oportunidad de materializar los planes, de encontrar un sustento concreto para nuestras ideas. Para lograrlo, es probable que haya que hacer un esfuerzo, pero puede dar muy buenos resultados.
Venus a 150° de los Nodos Lunares indica que en las relaciones sociales es mejor combinar los sentimientos con las ideas, la intuición con los ideales, la protección con la libertad. Es posible que sea necesario adaptarse al ritmo emocional de los demás para fluir en la vida cotidiana, en lo social, en lo afectivo.
