  • Some Thoughts on 3I/ATLAS

    Some Thoughts on 3I/ATLAS

    Disclaimer: This post is probably going to be ALL over the place (and here is a link to the video that accompanies it). Bear with me. Like everyone and their mother (hahahaha), I have also had my eye on 3I/ATLAS. Until now I haven’t wanted to write about it because, honestly, I’m not even sure wtf to say about it in a way that makes any (linear) sense. But! Because of my focus on galactic astrology and all of the research I’ve done over the years, and because people have been asking my opinion on Atlas, I kind of feel like I CAN’T NOT write something or speak about this interstellar object (or whatever the hell it is). So….here we are 🤣 and I’m going to try and make this make SOME kind of translatable sense about this interstellar object (and if you would like for me to make sense of your chart for you – which I KNOW I can do – you can get an astrology reading from me here). What I do know is that there seems to be a whole bunch of Sagittarius markers going on WITH Atlas.

    • It seems to have originally come from the area of space that houses the Galactic Center (which is at 27° Sagittarius)
      -There have been things circulating online that ATLAS came FROM the GC. After doing my own research and talking to my astrophysicist friend, I have found that this is probably NOT the case. However, just the fact that it comes from the area around the GC seems symbolic & meaningful
    • The last planet that it will get remotely close to is Jupiter on March 16, 2026 before it leaves our solar system (Jupiter is the planetary ruler of Sagittarius)
    • It makes its closest contact with Earth on December 19, 2025 (the day that the New Moon in Sagittarius takes place). Picture of that chart with the position of 3I/ATLAS at the top of the page.

    The name is also interesting – 3I/ATLAS. Let’s break down why this is interesting:
    **Before some jerkoff is like “iTS nAMeD aFtER thE tELEscOpE tHAt FouND iT!”…yeah, I know that (the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System or ATLAS). Even so, the name is still interesting to me**

    1. I was lying in bed one night thinking about this comet (like I do with ~*deep space shit*~) and saying the name over and over in my head, and I realized that “3i” sounds an awful lot like “third eye.” What does this mean in the context OF Atlas? Not totally sure. It does make me wonder if this comet is doing something energetically to “activate” the third eye of us Earthlings (individually and collectively). Think about it, though – people who have gone through any kind of “awakening” or “activation” of their third eye usually report that they hit a crisis point before or during this happens. The Earth currently feels like it’s AT a crisis point, so there *might* be something to this. 
      -It is said that if one tries to open their third eye too quickly (and/or they aren’t actually ready for this opening) it can cause a person to, essentially, lose their shit. Think about it – the world feels like it has been going off the fucking rails for a while, but 2025 seems to have accelerated things. There are certainly things in astroweather to back this up, but I do have to wonder if ATLAS could be in play, too.
    2. What is an Atlas? It’s a collection of maps in book form.
      ….and which sign of the zodiac is the one that travels & takes journeys (and might need an atlas of some kind)? Sagittarius.
    3. The name “Atlas” is generally thought to mean “bearer” or the “one who endures.” Atlas was also the name of a Titan who was punished to hold up the heavens after being on the losing end of a 10-year war with Zeus (the Titanomachy). He was said to have been a mathematician, philosopher, navigator, and astronomer (in some versions of his story he is credited with inventing astronomy all together) and is also said to have created the first celestial sphere. Because of his tie to (or creation of) astronomy, he was seen as “the one who turned the heavens on their axis.”
      **I don’t know about y’all, but to me there is something VERY Chiron-esque about Atlas’ mythology.**
      -There have been different things named after the Titan Atlas, like the Atlas Mountains in Africa, the Atlantic Ocean (name derived from the Sea of Atlas), and even the lost civilization of Atlantis first mentioned by Plato. 
    4. The “Atlas Personality” in psychology belongs to someone who feels they bear a massive amount of weight and responsibility on their shoulders (usually because of too much responsibility given to the person in childhood). This can cause depression, anxiety, feelings of emptiness and the need to be a chronic caretaker. 
      **There also appears to be something deeply Saturnian about all of this, too. Chiron (which 3I/ATLAS also seems to resonate) is thought of as a bridge between Saturn (the inner planets) and Uranus (the outer planets); moving from what is known and “old” to what is unknown and “the future.”

    So…. there is a lot going on in the above that needs to be talked about. First of all, there is the tie with navigation that stands out. Could it be that ATLAS is here to help us navigate something? Here to open our third eye (collectively and individually) so that we have “eyes to see”? If this is the case, then there is the question of do we even all have eyes to see in the first place? I mean, I think we do…. eventually anyway (I’m just not sure that EVERYONE is in that place right now – I mean, look at the fucking state of the world!). The next thing to mention is the idea that Atlas was seen as “the one who turned the heavens on their axis.” Just think about the gravity and weight of that statement for a minute – someone who is thought to turn the heaven’s on their axis would have a tremendous responsibility tied to them. Even the name Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System sounds like it is saddled with a whole fuck-ton of responsibility, too. Is 3I/ATLAS here to show us something about responsibility (or, perhaps, to show us something about the weight that is tied to the choices that we as individuals and the collective have made here on Earth)? Perhaps also to encourage us to make the “right” choices that benefit the individual as well as the collective? Also to point out: in the mythology, Atlas and the other Titans were battling Zeus (aka Jupiter)…another tie in with Sagittarius. SO MANY SAGITTARIUS MARKERS.

    The thing going on with “Atlas” and “Atlantis” stands out to me, along with the conjunction between 3I/Atlas and the South Node during the New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19, 2025. Setting intentions and planting seeds are fantastic ways to work with the energy of a New Moon (under most circumstances), and here it feels like that still tracks.  The reason why this date is a big deal in relation to 3I/ATLAS is because THIS is the date that 3I/ATLAS will come closest to the Earth (though it’s not really “close” – that’s misleading – but it’s the closest that it will come to Earth). Now, Atlantis was first mentioned by Plato as being an advanced civilization (from before the time of its first mentioning) that sank into the ocean after some cataclysmic event. Regardless of if Atlantis ever exited on this Earth or not (or in another dimension 👀) doesn’t really matter…but what does matter is the REPRESENTATION of Atlantis as some kind of “utopian” society. 

    Parabola of "the middle"

    We have people today running around like it’s the “end times” (there were literally people claiming on social media that they were going to be raptured just last month in October 2025). But it’s not the end times….at least not in the way that WE think of the “end.” The astrophysicist and myself were talking about this the other day, how we are NOT at the end times, but instead we are somewhere around “the middle” of times (hence the illustration of the upward facing parabola). Therefore, it feels a little (or a lot!) like 3I/ATLAS could be the symbol of the end of one age and the dawning of a new one.

    Why do I mention all of the above? Because ATLAS feels, to me anyway, very much like it could be a “way back” to something very ancient, to something that is “better” than what we currently have going on all over planet Earth. This feels even more apt for its closest contact with Earth on December 19, 2025 and the conjunction ATLAS @ roughly 10° Virgo makes with the South Node at 11° Virgo. Could we take this New Moon in Sagittarius (and its conjunction with the Galactic Center) as an opportunity – opportunity is SUCH a Sag expression – to set intentions for (or plant seeds towards) “going back” to an ancient way of being (like the Atlanteans in their utopian prime)? IF we were to all individually and collectively try and concentrate our efforts on making ourselves “better,” our individuals cups could then pour out onto the collective, thus making the collective “better,” too (and we wouldn’t have to stay “stuck” in the middle of the fucking parabola).
    **The “going back” thing ALSO stands out because of the initial anti-tail that 3I/ATLAS exhibited …until the tail seemed to change (and now it has 5 fucking tails or some shit?). The anti-tail felt/feels to me a little like (apparent) retrograde motion…and retrograde motion, quite literally, points towards “going back.”

    During this New Moon in Sagittarius (conjunct the Galactic Center), not only will 3I/ATLAS be conjunct the South Node, but it will also be conjunct a black hole at 10° 22′ Virgo known as M-106. No one knows the size of this black hole, but it is probable that it’s “supermassive.” Some attributes (besides having the densest galactic core of any measured) of this black hole are:
    -Specifically, feeling like time is speeding up and/or getting longer
    -Assessment of spatial relations needs to take place (because these can be both warped and/or precognitive in nature to the extreme)
    -Big tasks become known to needing to happen, and the energy needs to flow towards those tasks with mental fortitude. Doing THIS will quiet the “chaos”
    Mercury in Sagittarius, the ruler of 3I/ATLAS in this chart, is square 3I/ATLAS. This makes me think that while we might all (on some level) understand the assignment at this time, it doesn’t mean that everyone will DO the assignment or remember to turn in their homework. Sometimes the BEST thing we can do is live by example (“be the change” kind of thing) and focus on living by that individual example. Everyone else will either catch up….or they won’t (THIS very thing feels little Atlas Personality-like, too).
    **The cataclysmic event that destroyed Atlantis (assuming it was real here on Earth) is said to have happened because the people angered the “Gods” and these gods either just sunk Atlantis to the bottom of the ocean, or it was a volcanic eruption spurred on by pissed off sky-daddies. Rolling with this, it feels like in the present day we’re starting out at a cataclysmic point and trying to pull our way out of it (since we are “in the middle” of the parabola). IF we all pull together, eventually we can ALL get out of the middle and be “on the upswing.”

  • Galactic Center Thoughts part XXVI

    Galactic Center Thoughts part XXVI

    Lately I’ve been firing on (all) galactic cylinders due to a conversation that I got to have with an astrophysicist who reached out to me. They came across my research and were curious about my findings…so we set up some time to have a conversation. They got my mind going, I got their mind going….it was like a mind buzzing fest 🤣. They got me thinking about things with the Galactic Center a little differently than I have in the past. One of these ways is by considering the Galactic Center in an astrology chart by House placement alone (more can be read about that here). While I always figured that House placement was important, my research up until this point has been focused on planetary conjunctions to the Galactic Center (and other galactic points). While the research has not stopped on planetary conjunctions to the Galactic Center (and other galactic points), a new addition to the research has been birthed from this conversation.  

    Falling into the Galactic Center

    **Real quick! If you would like to be a part of the research, please send an email to ellie@saturnseason.com and I’ll hook you up with the questionnaire. If you would like me to read your astrology chart for you (about the galactic stuff or otherwise), that can be done by clicking on this text. If you are more of a watcher than a reader, click this text to watch a video about this same stuff.**

    Oh! But there is more. I have found over the course of this research that certain keywords/archetypes seem to fit for the Galactic Center. Archetypes like spiritualized, distorted, fragmented, warped, mutated, transformed, extreme, intense….and some other Uranian/Neptunian/Plutonian expressions (the GC is VERY aligned with the outer planets and seems to share several of their keywords). The GC also seems to have an affinity for retrograde motion – planets conjunct the GC (regardless of being direct or not) seem to function LIKE a retrograde planet. Now, the astrophysicist has added another possible keyword to the Galactic Center toolbox:

    Me: “What may be the consciousness (archetype) of a black hole be if one were to try to assign understanding to it.” 
    Astrophysicist: “I think I know what the answer is.”
    Me: “What?”
    Astrophysicist: “It seems obvious, but it’s     HIDDEN.”
    (Me staring at them…begging them with my eyes to continue)
    Astrophysicist: “So… from the outside you cannot know, but once you’re in, you have the ultimate truth. It’s the same thing to do with ALL of these things (the galactic points) indicate – the higher self.”

    You have no idea HOW MUCH OF A DUMBSHIT I felt after hearing the keyword “hidden” come from them (but I felt like a dumbshit in the best possible way). In ALL OF THE YEARS that I’ve researched the Galactic Center I don’t remember EVER assigning this as an archetype for the GC. In retrospect it feels really fucking stupid that I never have. I mean, black holes ARE hidden – they are literally black in space (which is also dark) and can’t be seen unless you’re looking through special telescopes. Their gravitational pull is so intense that not even light can escape them. So…while I KNOW that this is a quality of black holes (and the Galactic Center), it was never a quality (or archetype) that I attributed TO the Galactic Center. For the past week or so, I have been meditating and thinking about the notion of HIDDEN being a keyword for the GC. Like, wtf does that even mean 😂?! This is a major part of the new phase of the research – trying to figure out WHAT exactly “hidden” means in the context of the Galactic Center. There are a few possibilities that come to mind when I think about this:


    -Only YOU see these areas of life. Other people don’t seem to notice them about you or you don’t get noticed in those house areas of life (either at all or the way that you would like to be noticed)
    -These house areas of life can only be accessed by going inward (not able to be accessed through the external world)
    -These areas of life feel like they may actually BE somewhat hidden or obscured from you

    This new phase of the research focuses specifically on the Galactic Center by House placement, but the notion of the GC being “hidden” could (and SHOULD!) also be applied to planets conjunct the Galactic Center. Since the Galactic Center is always in Sagittarius (until it moves into Capricorn in, like 300 years or whatever), this feels like a hidden understanding of something (since one of the ways that Sagittarius energy functions is through understanding things and assimilating information from things). It really depends on the WHOLE chart as to how this actually plays out for the native, but I could see it going a few different ways (or maybe ALL of these ways at different points in the person’s life):

    Example: Native has the GC in the 11th House (no planets conjunct). The person may feel like their influence (11th House) is hidden in some way – either they are “hiding” it from themselves (or hiding from the influence they have), or maybe other people don’t see the influence the native has. It might also be that it’s not until the person goes inward that the influence (and other 11th House areas of life) they have is seen by the native and by other people. 
    **This same sort of idea above could also be applied to planets conjunct the Galactic Center and WHAT the planet wants to express/needs to express being hidden in some way from the native (or to anyone outside of the native).

    The astrophysicist and I also did some talking about the notion of the higher self in relationship with the Galactic Center. Now, somewhat early on in the research I started thinking that the Galactic Center (and some of the other galactic points) were a way for a person to tap into their higher self (maybe not the only way, but definitely A WAY to do this…a telephone line to it). With their comment about going inward with the Galactic Center to tap into the higher self (and there was much more to this conversation than the part that I copied to this post) makes me think EVEN MORE that I am on a right track with this. How does this translate to the idea of the GC being “hidden” in some way (or there being something hidden about it)? Maybe the native isn’t able to reach their higher self (all of the way) until the native goes inward by the house areas of life of where the GC falls. Same thing could be said about any planets conjunct the GC. Going inward is ALSO what retrograde planets do (what they need to do to function), so this tracks from what I’ve already ascertained from the research thus far; that the Galactic Center has an affinity for retrograde motion. All of this, getting in touch with the higher self via different galactic points, is also (probably) an ever-evolving process, across time and space….across a person’s WHOLE lifetime.  

  • The Great Attractor and what it might mean in an Astrology Chart

    The Great Attractor and what it might mean in an Astrology Chart

    This post was originally published on September 2, 2021. As time has gone on (and my understanding of deep space astrology has deepened) I have learned more about how to possibly incorporate this deep space anomaly into reading an astrology chart. Rather than doing a whole new post on the Great Attractor, I figured I would bring together the old post with the new stuff that I’ve learned. Also, as of September 2024 there IS a questionnaire on the Great Attractor, the Shapley Attractor, and the Dipole Repeller. If you want to be a part of the research (volunteer as tribute 🤣) shoot an email to ellie@saturnseason.com and I’ll get you the questionnaire!

    Where is the Great Attractor located? Currently it’s at 14° 17′ Sagittarius.

    **Here is a video that I did about the Great Attractor in September 2021 if you’re more of a watcher than a reader. These videos from July 2023 are about the Shapley Attractor and the Dipole Repeller (which is what opposes Shapley in space). There is also a recent post written about the Shapley Attractor that can be found here.

    *********** Blog Post from 2021 Starts Below ***********
    Lately I’ve been getting some messages on reddit (and even emails from previous clients) asking me about the Great Attractor – wanting to know if I will ever be discussing/diving into this, or if I was even aware of this anomaly in space in the first place. Since it has come up enough, I figured I would do a post about this since I am aware of this and it IS on my radar (I have just been too preoccupied with clients and the GC to really dive in). I am absolutely delighted that so many of you all are aware of the Great Attractor too ^_^

    So…..what is the Great Attractor? It is supposedly the gravitational pull point in the Laniakea Supercluster (a “meta-galaxy”/collection of superclusters of galaxies in which our own galaxy is a part of). It is considered an anomaly because the Great Attractor functions like a black hole (it warps time, space, and light), but unlike a black hole it has no event horizon (so it doesn’t fit the standard definition OF a black hole). The Great Attractor appears to be pulling different super clusters of galaxies towards it, and scientists believe that our own galaxy supercluster is also being pulled towards it. The GA is also thought to be made up of “dark energy.” The definition of dark energy is “anything that is, in effect, an intrinsic property of space. That has a constant energy density regardless of the dimensions of the volume under consideration. Thus, unlike ordinary matter it is not diluted by the expansion of space.” Dark energy is thought to be the reason that the universe is accelerating in its rate of expansion (though no one seems like they are 100% sure about this). Dark doesn’t mean literally dark (or bad/negative), but “mysterious” and “unknown,” and unknown it is – while it is thought to make up a whole bunch of space, scientists still aren’t real sure what the fuck dark energy is.

    Same thing could be said about the GA – scientists KNOW there is something there pulling these different superclusters towards it, but they aren’t real sure how to classify the GA. To make it even more difficult to understand, the GA happens to fall in the zone of avoidance (which means it isn’t easy to see it with visible light wavelengths due to being blocked by the Milky Way’s galactic plane). The only way that it has been observed is with X-rays (though the area of space where they think the GA is located happens to be in an area where the Norma Cluster of galaxies is located). So, lol, that’s fucking weird. If this is actually like a black hole, shouldn’t it be “sucking” up the Norma Cluster?

    Why does any of this matter? I like to look at the science behind this deep space shit to try to apply it to an astrology chart. Here are some thoughts that I have about the GA and how it might function in a natal chart. While the GA can be pulled in anyone’s chart, I do think it probably has the most impact in the lives of people who have conjunctions to the GA (planets, Chiron, the Nodes, cardinal points, etc.).
    -Even if scientists aren’t sure WHAT the GA is or HOW the GA functions, it does seem to be some kind of force that pulls things to it. This makes me think that the GA in a natal chart functions in a similar way – acting as an attracting force. Is this for the good of the person, or to the person’s detriment? I’m a little on the fence about this particular notion. I feel like this could really go either way.
    -Since the GA happens to be in the Zone of Avoidance in the sky, I feel like this can probably be translated down to the natal chart, too. The person may not be as clear about what the GA attracts into their life (or even what they can consciously attract when they are able to SEE/FEEL the GA in their own charts and how it functions).
    -A planet conjunct the GA (or cardinal point, Chiron, etc.) may attract things into the native’s life dealing with whatever planet (et.al) is involved in the conjunction. This person may not have as much conscious control of what they attract in this regard. However, I have this idea that when the person is consciously aware of what they attract, they are probably able to attract exactly what they want to them (this probably takes a lot of self-control and self-awareness).
    -I have mentioned before that the Galactic Center might function like an antenna, picking up shit from the GC and even shooting stuff back out from the antenna. I think the GA might function in a similar way (but it DOES feel different than the GC, even if they both have the feeling of having this antenna). I’ll have to sit with this part a little longer to figure out exactly HOW to articulate the difference, lol.

    How can you pull the Great Attractor in your own chart? Go to astro.com and go to the “extended chart selection” after creating an account. Go down to where it says “additional objects” towards the bottom, and click on the list of “fixed stars.” Go down the list, and once you get to the G’s, look for something labeled “Great Attractor, GA.” Click on that option and then pull your chart.

    There is something else here to mention….something that kind of “ups the ante” of the GA, and this something called the Shapley Attractor. Scientists have proposed that the Shapley Attractor might be stronger than the Great Attractor, and that the Shapley Attractor MIGHT be the “collaboration” between the Shapley Supercluster and the Great Attractor coming together to create a whole new attractor. I have NO idea how to pull this in the chart (but I’m looking into it, lol).

    ********* New stuff starts below this page break *********


    First of all, it really blows my fucking mind that the original blog post on the Great Attractor was written over 3 years ago (currently it’s September 2024). Time goes so, so fast. Even though we are 3 years out from when I wrote the original post, my train of thought on the Great Attractor is still similar. There are some things that I would like to add on to what I was included in the original post. Before I get into that though, I am now looking at conjunctions within 7° applying with and separating from the Great Attractor at (currently) 14° Sagittarius (and this is where I am focused on the questionnaire). If you have planets conjunct the GA within that window of orb and want to be a part of the research, please reach out and I’ll get you the questionnaire. What I’m adding to the original article (in the text below) comes from people sharing their experiences with me via email (even without a formal questionnaire existing until now people love to share their experiences) from conversations I’ve had with clients in readings about planets, etc. conjunct the GA, and based on my own study of this deep space anomaly.

    1. In the original post I mentioned that the Great Attractor could act as an attracting force in an astrology chart (causing the native to pull or attract things to them). The comment was also made that I was on the fence (in 2021) as to if this was to the native’s benefit or detriment. Really, as of September 2024, I do think of the Great Attractor as a more “benevolent” force (or that the things attracted do tend to be for the native’s benefit overall). As a disclaimer, that doesn’t mean that the Great Attractor will ALWAYS function in “positive” ways (this is not universal by any means).
    -I also think that this attraction and pull is ALWAYS happening whether the person is aware of it or not. It seems to me that this attraction and pull could be even more beneficial for the native when they are aware that they have this kind of pull in the first place.
    -The pull/attraction with the GA also appears to be the kind of pull where once the attraction and pulling begins, it can be really hard to turn it off or take it back. This is another reason it seems important to know what pull and attracting are happening to begin with, so the wheels of attraction that are set in motion are actually ones that the person wants to consciously set in motion in the first place. Even then, because once these wheels seem to start turning they are hard to turn off, it’s a good idea for the GA person to triple check with themselves that what they are wanting to attract is ACTUALLY what they want.

    2. People with Great Attractor conjunctions in their chart seem to be people that are looked to for answers about things. This seems to be the case even if the native doesn’t see themselves in the same knowing-capacity (and it can be very confusing when the person isn’t aware of the planet, etc. conjunct the GA exerting this influence). For instance, if someone has Venus conjunct the GA, they might find that to other people they are seen as all-knowing in regards to things Venus wants to express (things like love, harmony, relationships, values, etc.), and they might also find that other people seek out the Venus conjunct GA person for answers about Venusian questions. This doesn’t mean that the Venus conjunct GA native sees themselves in this same way; on the contrary, the native might not see themselves as proficient on Venusian topics at all. Even if they don’t think they have the answers to Venusian sorts of questions….they usually do (and they can usually offer some good insights, advice, or answers about such things).

    3. The Great Attractor seems to be less “polarizing” than the Galactic Center (and the Galactic Grand Cross) seems to be. Some of this is probably because there doesn’t appear to be anything opposite the Great Attractor (so there isn’t an opposition to cause any polarity in the first place). Normally this lack of opposition would bother me (and I would be like a dog with a fucking bone trying to figure out WHAT opposes it). In this case it doesn’t bother me because one theory within the scientific community about the Great Attractor is that it’s actually part of the Shapley Attractor/Supercluster (and the Shapley Attractor DOES have the Dipole Repeller in opposition). Bringing this down to the astrology chart, the person with conjunctions to the GA seems to not be seen as polarizing (or that specific part of their chart is not seen as polarizing). For instance, Venusian thoughts and expressions by the person with Venus conjunct the GA might be seen as not at all polarizing by other people. This could be because the native really doesn’t approach Venus notions in a polarizing way (which is absolutely possible). Or it could be because another person just doesn’t SEE the Venus conjunct GA person as being polarizing.

    4. The above brings me to my last point – the person with something conjunct the Great Attractor seems to have something about them that causes other people to SEE what they WANT/NEED to see in the person regarding the planet, etc. conjunct the GA (this is another reason why these people may come off as not polarizing regarding to the planet, etc. conjunct the GA, especially if the person on the outside WANTS/NEEDS to view the GA person as non-polarizing). This isn’t the GA person making themselves seem a different way than they are, but more about how they are received by other people (there doesn’t appear to be the manipulation or malice involved on the part of the GA person). Now, this can be a beneficial thing for the GA person or not beneficial at all; it really depends on what is WANTED/NEEDED to be seen in the GA person by someone else. Regardless of what other people want/need to see in the GA person, it’s most important that the planet conjunct GA person sees themselves (and that planet conjunct the GA) clearly and without a filter.


  • The Shapley Attractor and how to read it in an astrology chart

    The Shapley Attractor and how to read it in an astrology chart

    A little over a year ago I did a video on the Shapley Attractor but never made an “astrological ramblings” post about it (I have tried to make more time for writing recently and it feels SO GOOD to be doing this again). Why do this post now? Well, there has been an influx of people reaching out over the summer about different Galactic conjunctions they have in their charts, and conjunctions to Shapley (and the Great Attractor) have been brought up a whole bunch. Since Shapley and the Great Attractor aren’t actually ON the Galactic Grand Cross questionnaire, I think some people have wondered if I have done any research on them at all. In answer to that question…yes, yes I have (eventually the Great Attractor, Shapley, and even the Dipole Repeller need to be added to the current questionnaire or a new one needs to be created). 
    **Side note: If anyone wants to be a part of the Galactic Center/Galactic Grand Cross research, shoot me an email or leave a comment on this post and I’ll get you the questionnaire ^_^ And if you’re more of a watcher than a reader, video incoming below:



    What is the Shapley Attractor? It’s a deep space anomaly (an even bigger anomaly than the Great Attractor!) that functions kind of like a black hole but isn’t a black hole. As far as I know (in 2024 as I’m writing this) scientists aren’t really sure what the hell Shapley actually is. What science does seem to know is that Shapley appears to be pulling things towards it (like the Great Attractor does, but Shapley does this in a more extreme way), and that it appears to be within (or near) the Shapley Supercluster. The Shapley Attractor is pulling a BUNCH of different galaxies towards it due to its high density and gravitational pull.  
    -There is a line of thought that brings the Great Attractor and Shapley together, viewing the Shapley Attractor as a composite of the Shapley Supercluster and the Great Attractor. There is line of thought that the Great Attractor is being pulled TOWARDS the Shapley Attractor instead of functioning with Shapley. There is another line of thought that the Great Attractor and the Shapley Attractor have no correlation with one another (they are just, essentially, two attractor anomalies in the sky that happen to function in a similar way but that’s it). No one really seems to know anything definitively one way or the other as of September 2024
    -Like the Great Attractor, the Shapley Attractor is lying behind the Zone of Avoidance meaning that it’s very hard to see (like the GA) with visible light wavelengths. 
    -Shapley Supercluster/Concentration is pulling itself together instead of expanding with the universe (and pulling other galaxies towards it in the process). 


    The Shapley Attractor can be found at 2° Scorpio (I’m not sure how to pull this in a natal chart, you will just need to eyeball it – in the chart above I have a yellow star where Shapley would be found if it could be pulled). In my research on this so far, I’ve been focused on conjunctions between planets, angles, etc. in the chart. While a large orb, I’ve been looking at conjunctions 7° applying with and separating from Shapley as being influenced and pulled. So, essentially, any planets, angles, etc. that you may have from 25° Libra to 9° Scorpio would be within Shapley’s grasp. Obviously, the closer the planet, angle, etc. is to 2° Scorpio, the more of a pull Shapley will have on it (and the more it will be influenced by Shapley). 

    So…..like….what the fuck can one DO with Shapley in an astrology chart? How can one read it in a chart and bring it down to Earth? I definitely have some thoughts on what Shapley could indicate alongside any planets, etc. that happen to be conjunct.

    Shapley is an attractor like the Great Attractor (GA), which means any planets, angles, etc. that happen to be conjunct EITHER of these will ATTRACT people, places, things, and situations towards it. Also like the GA, Shapley is in the “Zone of Avoidance” which is an area of space that can’t be seen with visible light waves. Even if the GA & Shapley can’t be seen with visible light waves, though, they both still exist. This makes me think that planets, etc. conjunct Shapley (and the GA) are always attracting something towards it…. even if the person isn’t conscious of this attracting that happens as it is happening. This right here makes me think that people with conjunctions to Shapley need to be VERY aware of what they attract into their lives via the planet, angle, etc. that is conjunct Shapley. It does seem to me that the attraction that occurs with Shapley (as with the GA) tends to have an affinity for the planet, angle, etc. that happens to be conjunct Shapley (or the GA). 
    **For instance (using my chart as an example), I have Mars conjunct Shapley within 2°. This means that I need to be very aware of the kind of Mars people, places, things, and situations that I pull into my life. I’m going to PULL this stuff into my life no matter what, so I need to make sure that I’m only pulling to me the highest vibration of Mars in Scorpio energy. 
    …..and THAT’S the challenging part, pulling in the highest vibration of Mars in Scorpio energy (or the highest vibrational energy of whatever planet, angle, etc. happens to be conjunct Shapley). 

    Shapley does feel like it’s more challenging than the Great Attractor; this has been gleaned from my own personal experience, client experience, family/friend experience, and of people who have wanted to share with me their personal experience with Shapley even though there isn’t an official questionnaire about it yet. There are a couple of reasons why I think this is the case:
    1. Shapley happens to be along Via Combusta (also known as the “Fiery Way” and the “Burning Way” from 15° Libra to 15° Scorpio). Since olden times (lol) this part of the chart is thought to bring “bad luck” to any planets, angles, etc. that happen to fall there because of all the difficult fixed stars in the area.  I’m not sure how much traditional astrologers actually work with this antiquated idea in a natal chart in present day, but due to the fixed star thing it IS used in horary astrology/event astrology (seeing a planet along Via Combusta, especially the Moon, in a horary chart/event chart can signal some fuckery and/or difficult shit afoot). 
    2. Scorpio energy is SO extreme and intense, and Shapley happens to be in the sign of Scorpio. This in and of itself makes me think of Shapley functioning in a more challenging way than the Great Attractor. 
    **That’s not to say that the Great Attractor can’t be challenging though (it definitely CAN be). While Sagittarius energy can definitely function in “big” and “extra” kinds of ways, it often lacks the extremity of Scorpio energy. 


    Because Scorpio energy is SO extreme (this is one of the ways that it can function), it seems to me that WHATEVER is attracted via Shapley is going to be attracted in an extreme way. All planets, etc. in the chart have a higher vibrational and lower vibrational way that they can function (what they want to express). In saying that, it IS possible to pull the highest vibrational energy of the planet, etc. conjunct Shapley into one’s life (the “positive” extreme), but more often than not (not universally….but often) it seems that people pull in the the lowest vibrational energy (the “negative” extreme) of the planet, etc. conjunct Shapley in the form of people, places, things and situations. Attraction of the lowest vibrational energy of the planet, etc. appears to happen for a couple of reasons:
    1. The person is expressing what the planet, etc. conjunct Shapley wants to express in an extremely low vibrational way (this may or may not be a conscious choice). Should this be the case, the person could come face to face with people, places, things, and situations that are also expressing the lower vibration of that planetary (etc.) energy. The point of this seems to be to show the person how they are and, ideally, how they don’t want to be.
    2. The person isn’t expressing what the planet, etc. conjunct Shapley wants to express AT ALL in the first place (again, this may or may not be a conscious choice). Should the person come face to face to with people, places, things, and situations expressing the lowest vibration of what the planet (etc.) conjunct Shapley wants to express, it seems that it is to get the person to WAKE UP to their own planet conjunct Shapley (or to WAKE that planet up). Should this person have their planet “woken up” in this way, they want to not stoop to the lowest vibrational level of the planet, etc. Instead, it seems important that they go a different way, a higher vibrational way, with that planetary, etc. energy.

    When the highest vibration of the planet, etc. is expressed through the planet conjunct Shapley, it seems that the person is able to pull in the VERY BEST of the planetary energy in an extreme way in regards to people, places, things and situations (extremity doesn’t have to be “bad”). My advice? Get to know any planet, angle, etc. conjunct Shapley in your chart as best as you can. If you need help with this, you can have me read for you (click here for this).

    Want to go deeper into learning about this stuff?! I taught a class on July 9, 2026 on the galactic points: the Galactic Grand Cross, the Great Attractor, Shapley Attractor, and the Dipole Repeller. Five-plus years of research, brought down to earth.

  • The Gates of the Avatar

    If you are more of a watcher than a reader, here is a link to a YouTube video I did on this

    I decided to finally make the journey into exploring the Gates of the Avatar more. Initially, I knew that I would probably have to dive into the Bible a little bit to do this (and back in January this wasn’t something I was ready to touch with a 100 ft. pole). The past couple of weeks I have been exploring religious-y themes in an astrological context (and thinking about it this way bothered me). It wasn’t until I started thinking about it the other way around – that it’s the Bible that has some astrological ties – that I felt more comfortable exploring everything. And here we are now, lol.

    Just as a side note: I am not a religious person so there is no preaching or any bullshit going on from this end of the screen. I feel like to explain how I’ve started working with the Avatar Gates, I have to kind of explain where I came up with the idea in the first place.

    Originally, when I first started looking into the Avatar Gates, I did so because I noticed that the Avatar Gates (at 15-degrees Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) were the midpoints of the different squares within the Galactic Grand Cross (which seems like they could be important within the greater function of the Galactic Grand Cross – this part I am still exploring). When I first thought about the Avatar Gates and their connection with the GC, the Wheel of Fortune tarot card immediately came to mind. This is because the Wheel of Fortune has ties to Sagittarius/Jupiter energy (which has an affinity for the GC since it’s in Sagittarius), and because on the card you see the Bull (Taurus), the Lion (Leo), the Eagle (which has an affinity for Scorpio), and the Angel or Enlightened Man (which has an affinity for Aquarius). I looked into the backstory behind this card and found some sources say that it has ties to the Bible (specifically the Book of Ezekiel chapters 1 & 10, and the Book of Revelation chapters 4 & 5). After reading this, I kind of shut down this part of my research. Recently though, I have had a few clients that have either wanted me to do a reading specifically on the Avatar Gates in their chart, or they wanted me to talk about the Avatar Gates within a greater natal chart reading. Along with the Lion’s Gate Portal activation on August 8th, I figured that this was a good time to start diving into this stuff from a religious text point of view. So….I did some googling and looked at different translations of the bible to read the Book of Ezekiel.
    –I’ll be honest, after chapter 1 and until chapter 10, I was kind of rolling my eyes, lol (and I have only read to chapter 14 so far). In case you aren’t familiar with the story, here is a link to it from the New International Version.

    There is a whole fuck-load of shit going on here in this story.I know that a lot of people think the “Living Creatures” that came to Ezekiel in the vision were Aliens or UFO’s. I’m not disputing this – I mean, shit, even “Angels” could be considered “Aliens” since they aren’t of this world, right? I do think that whatever these Living Creatures were, they weren’t from this fucking world (duh), and they tie in with the Avatar Gates.
    –Now, this in and of itself is a theory that people have mentioned before (and I totally get why lololol). Even the notion of the “wheels with eyes” (or ayin, which is the Hebrew word for “eyes,” and can also be translated to sparkling in this context) that fly around with these Living Creatures makes me think of a person and their natal chart. While we aren’t literally levitating above our natal charts, they do “follow” us wherever we go (like the wheels in this part of the story):

    15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

    19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

    This even got me thinking about the chart being a “living” thing in its own right – something that the native of the chart animates and brings to life. Our spirit is all over the roadmap of our natal charts. Even the part about the wheels (and the wheels within wheels) having eyes stands out to me – could this be referring to the different planets in the natal chart? Especially since I’ve seen it referenced that sparkling is a term that was used back then to describe stars and planets (I can’t remember where the hell I read that in my research, but I know I did).

    Now, the descriptions of the Living Creatures (which, by the way, Living Creatures is a class of heavenly beings) is mentioned like this:

    10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. They each had two wings spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body.

    Unlike the Wheel of Fortune tarot card (or even The World tarot card), these Living Creatures are not individual beings of the Bull, the Lion, the Eagle and the Enlightened Man. Instead, we have 4 separate Living Creatures that are hybrids, with all having a little bit of the different attributes of the Bull, the Lion, the Eagle, and the Enlightened Man.

    When I have seen other people talk about the Avatar Gates in a natal chart, it seems like the gates are read as individual entities. IF these Living Creatures in the bible are representative of the Avatar Gates (and I think they probably are), I don’t think they should be read separately. That sounds confusing, because obviously if you (or someone else) have a planet conjunct an Avatar Gate, that particular Avatar Gate is going to be particularly important. It makes sense to focus on that particular gate (and it should focused on). However, I think in order to really get the most bang from the planet (or planets) conjunct the Gates of Avatar, the other gates that may not have anything conjunct them need to also be considered here. How do you do that? What I have been doing is looking at the different planetary rulers of the different Avatar Gates that don’t have anything at them and seeing how those planetary rulers play with (or aspect) the planets that are conjunct an Avatar Gate (or multiple Gates), along with how the planetary rulers might aspect their respective Avatar Gate. Here is an example of what I mean from my own chart:

    Just for reference, the Avatar Gates are in purple, and the planetary rulers of the gates that don’t have any planets conjunct them are in yellow. The only gate that I have a planet at is Mercury conjunct Scorpio Gate. For conjunctions to the Avatar gates, I’m looking at planets between 13 and 17 degrees of the fixed signs.

    The Avatar Gates are supposedly like portals (or that’s how I’ve seen them mentioned). The notion of them being portals is interesting, because while I think the GC is most definitely a type of portal, too, the Avatar Gates feel like a different sort of thing. Perhaps it’s the fixed nature of the signs that they fall – they don’t feel as inherently wild as the Galactic Center does to me (though they do feel like they are incredibly powerful). The Avatar Gates also appear to be a place that is kind of “feared” (which I disagree with – I don’t think they should be feared, but to each their own). I actually think they are places in the chart that can become “animated” by spirit – places where spirit can flow in, flow through, and flow out. The Scorpio Gate in my chart has a planet (or a vehicle) for which spirit can easily flow and in and out (become “animated” or “come alive”). This will probably deal with my communication, thinking, learning, sharing, perception, etc. (and other Mercury things). This will come through in the 11th House areas life like long-term goals, social and humanitarian causes, the internet (perhaps even in close relationships and via my career since Mercury is the planetary ruler of the 7th and 10th Houses in my chart). This will come through in some kind of Scorpio way- intense, deep, passionate, extreme, etc. You get the idea.

    In my chart, this is the only gate with a planet there, but I do think the other gates still matter (and I think it’s “activating” the other gates that DON’T have anything conjunct them that allows the Scorpio Gate with Mercury there to fully open for me). It’s probably the lack of ALL the gates being opened that can cause people to feel “overwhelmed” by the power of the Avatar Gate (or Gates) that do have planets conjunct them (and thus feel overwhelmed by the planet in question, too). Essentially, the Avatar Gates form a grand cross in the chart, and while not “easy,” a grand cross aspect pattern is “stable.” It’s bringing all of the gates into the equation that makes me think the gates that do have planets conjunct them can be “stabilized” as well, which helps one to wield the energy more productively and purposefully.

    In my chart, these are the aspects going on between the planetary rulers of the Avatar Gates and their respective Gates, along with any aspects made between the planetary ruler of the empty gates with Mercury at the Scorpio Gate. For this I would look at the major and minor aspects (you are are looking for any and all aspects). The major aspects will pack the most noticeable impact, probably. Some of the minor aspects are really important, too, especially in more spiritual or esoteric context. This makes sense to incorporate with the Avatar Gates, since they seem pretty spiritual to me.
    -The Sun is tridecile the Leo Gate
    -Saturn doesn’t appear to make an aspect with the Aquarius Gate @ about 54-degrees from the gate
    -Uranus is septile the Aquarius Gate
    -Venus doesn’t appear to make an aspect with the Taurus Gate @ about 139-degrees from the Gate. This might actually be something I would consider to be an issue (though it might not be as much of an issue since it’s conjunct Uranus in my chart, and Uranus IS touching the gate it correlates with). Either way, though, the Taurus Gate feels like it might be the most difficult to “animate.”
    -Uranus and Venus are novile Mercury
    -Saturn is decile Mercury
    -The Sun is *close* to being vigintile Mercury, but I don’t know that I would count it or not here.
    To read the Avatar Gates in my own chart, I would focus on these particular planets and the aspects that they make to delineate how to, perhaps, animate or bring to life the other gates in my own chart, thus also allowing Mercury to function in the most beneficial way (and to really come “alive” itself).

    Obviously, this is a very individualized thing based on the chart. Take a look at the Gates of the Avatar in your own chart (or someone else’s) to play around with the ideas here. See what aspects come up between the planets in questions and the Gates. This will give you an idea of how to animate the Gates. I’d love to hear anything anyone has to share about this. And if you want me to give reading the Avatar Gates in your chart a whirl, you can head here and book a reading.

    **I would definitely count the major angles, the Nodal Axis, asteroids, etc.. – count them all if any of these happen to be conjunct the Avatar Gates in your chart.

  • Galactic Center Thoughts part XXIV (and also “The Gates of the Avatar”)

    This past week I have been researching some more into the Galactic Center, and more specifically the Grand Cross that is formed between the Galactic Center, the Super Galactic Center, the Galactic Anti-Center, and whatever the fuck opposes the Super Galactic Center (I don’t know what this is yet, but I know there is SOMETHING there). Since a Grand Cross is a series of squares connecting different things in the chart, it got me thinking about square aspects in general. Now, obviously, with the Grand Cross aspect pattern in a chart (any kind of Grand Cross, GC related or not), actually balancing the oppositions is key. However, when looking at square aspects in general I have always felt that the midpoint between the square aspects can be used as a way to funnel the tension of the square aspect (thus becoming a place to release the tension).

    So, back to the GC and the “Galactic Grand Cross” (that’s what I’m calling it for now, lol) – I decided to do the midpoints between each of the different squares in the Galactic Grand Cross. When you do this, you get:
    **Midpoint between the GC and the SGC = 15-degrees Scorpio
    **Midpoint between the SGC and the GaC = 15-degrees Leo
    **Midpoint between the GaC and whatever opposes the SGC = 15 -degrees Taurus
    **Midpoint between the GC and whatever opposes the SGC = 15-degrees Aquarius
    ***The above COULD vary slightly depending on the degrees of the GC/GaC/SGC/whatever opposes the SGC when you were born/for the chart that you’re looking at. The calculations above were taken from the current placements of the Galactic Grand Cross.

    These all happen to be at 15-degrees of the fixed signs (and if you read stuff about 15-degrees of the fixed signs, usually some less than stellar things are said). I’ve never been so negative and fatalistic about degrees in a natal chart (I’m not fatalistic when reading a natal chart, period – all that fatalistic shit can suck a dick), so I’ve always kind of blown this line of thinking off (the line of thinking that 15-degrees of a fixed sign ALWAYS means something bad). There IS another line of thinking about these particular degrees that I do think is very interesting, especially in the context of the GC, and that’s the idea of 15-degrees of the fixed signs being “Avatar Points” or “Gates of the Avatars.” This isn’t a “new” concept to me, but it IS a new concept to me in terms of thinking of Avatar Points in relation to the GC. There are also some different names this concept might have if you look it up for yourself.

    First though – A few definitions:

    Avatar – “a manifestation of a deity or released soul in bodily form on earth; an incarnate divine teacher.”
    (There are other ones, but this one popped up first and I like it lol)
    Another good (and more ancient) definition is “a release of energy.”

    Avatar Gates – essentially these are thought to be at 15-degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius), and they are important since they are the midpoints between the solstice and equinox points in the natal chart (another tie to midpoints!). These parts of the chart, 15-degrees of the fixed signs, are thought to be a place that allows energy to release from The Source and to come through the native (and if there happens to be a planet at 15-degrees of the fixed signs as a vehicle for this “Source energy” to come through, this is made all the stronger).
    **Typically, the Winter and Summer Solstice’s are thought of as being at 0-degrees Capricorn and 0-degrees Cancer, with the Spring and Autumn equinoxes being at 0-degrees Aries and 0-degrees Libra. However, with the GC currently at 27-degrees Sagittarius, the GaC at 27-degrees Gemini, the SGC at 2-degrees Libra, and whatever opposes the Super GC @ 2-degrees Aries, these are ALL very close to those solstice and equinox points in the chart (or the 0-degrees Aries Points/0-degrees of the cardinal signs).
    **I also want to make mention quickly that the Avatar Gates are a thing even if one doesn’t have any conjunctions to the GC, to the SGC, to the GaC, or a conjunction to whatever opposes the SGC. For the context of THIS post, I’m looking at them solely from the lens of the Galactic Grand Cross.

    The theory of the Avatar Gates in the context of the GC stands out to me because I already do feel like the GC is some kind of lifeline or tie to other dimensions or other places (among a lot of other shit). Having the midpoints of the Galactic Grand Cross touching these Avatar Gates makes me think that these particular points in the chart *could* be a way that The Source energy from the GC comes through the person and down to Earth (not so much dealing with the translation OF this energy – that does seem much more trines to the GC related). It also seems like any tension that might exist between the different square aspects of the Galactic Grand Cross could be eased via these Avatar Gates. It does seem like people that have a planet conjunct the GC (or even conjunct the GaC, SGC, or even conjunct whatever is opposite the SGC), and ALSO have some planet conjunct 15-degrees of one (or multiple) of the fixed signs, might be able to understand source energy that comes from the GC even more clearly (since there is an actual entry point for such energy in the first place – an entry point that isn’t solely twisting, changing, and transforming the energy of the GC…since this is what the GC does to anything that touches it). It seems like any planet that happens to be conjunct one of the Avatar Gates in the chart of someone with Galactic Grand Cross conjunctions might make the planet (or planets) conjunct the Avatar Gate(s) even more important. UNDERSTANDING this planet (or these planets) feels like it would be really important so the person could use the planetary energy to their benefit.
    **When looking at conjunctions to the Avatar Gates, I would look at planets from 13 through 17 degrees of the fixed signs. Obviously though, the closer to 15 degrees that you can get, the better vehicle that planet probably will be to serve this “gate” purpose.

    Let’s talk about the gates for just a second. There are archetypes for each of the gates (which do go along with the signs that they happen to reside):
    **15- degrees Taurus – Taurus Gate or Bulls Gate
    **15-degrees Leo – Leo Gate or Lion’s Gate
    **15-degrees Scorpio – Scorpio Gate or Eagles Gate (personally I prefer “Phoenix Gate” here, but to each their own)
    **15-degrees Aquarius – Aquarius Gate or Angels Gate (personally, I like to think of this as the “Gate of the Enlightened Human,” but to each their own).

    The Bulls Gate deals with individual self-worth and value, and the power that can be found through security and stability in these notions. The Lions Gate deals with creativity and boldness, and the power that can be found through expressing such. Both of these gates are more subjective in nature (and more focused on the individual). The Phoenix Gate/Eagle Gate deals with deep ties to another person (or other people), and the power of the influence this could have. The Gate of the Enlightened Human/Angel Gate deals with ties to the collective in more universal and humanistic ways, and the power that can be found through this influence.

    When I think about these gates in correlation with the Galactic Grand Cross, specifically the GC since that’s what a bulk of my research has been focused on, I automatically think of the “Wheel of Fortune” tarot card.

    The Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card for those that aren’t familiar

    Not only does this card have the Bull, the Lion, the Eagle/Phoenix, and the Angel/Enlightened Human ON the fucking card, the Wheel of Fortune ALSO has a correlation with Sagittarius energy. THIS really stands out to me since Sagittarius is where the GC actually falls. There is also the “knowledge” aspect on this card per the symbol of books being read, and the fucking snake (which I take to be like the snake in the Garden of Eden who got Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge). Sagittarius is a very knowledge focused sign, and the GC feels like it can be a place of divine downloads/divine knowledge coming through. Not only those things, but notice the Egyptian/Sphinx looking thing sitting at the top of the Rota Fortunae (and the ancient Egyptians….they knew a fucking thing or two – they seemed to have divine or “Source” knowledge in spades). Anubis also is featured on the card, and this Egyptian deity dealt with ushering souls into the afterlife and regeneration. BOTH of these notions feel very GC-esque as well. The GC doesn’t deal with death and regeneration in the way that Scorpio does, but anything that does happen to touch the GC (or actually fall into the GC) WILL BE CHANGED. At the same time, though, there are stars that are formed IN the GC (which means that while things may be changed, they don’t necessarily die – they are “reborn” or have the capacity to be reborn).
    **There is also some Christian imagery/correlations on the card that I want to point out. What I’m correlating with the Avatar Gates on the Wheel of Fortune card (The Bull, The Lion, The Eagle/Phoenix, and The Enlightened Human/Angel) actually have ties to the Four Evangelists, or Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Luke is represented by the Bull, Mark is represented by the Lion, John is represented by the Eagle, and Matthew is represented by the Angel. Their gospels don’t go in the same order as the signs of the zodiac – the line up actually starts with Matthew, then Mark, then Luke, then John, but regardless I do find this very interesting. Even more interesting are the words T-A-R-O spelled out on the card (or R-O-T-A or T-O-R-A depending on where you start), along with the Hebrew letters for “YHWH” (which is the Hebrew word for God). My mind is making some connections with things from this point of view, but I’m not ready to touch any of that….even with a 10 foot pole.
    ***There is another card in tarot which also has all 4 symbols on it, and that is The World.

    Basically, ALL of this makes me think that these Avatar Gates are important regardless, but for people who have Galactic Grand Cross conjunctions…. if they also happen to have a planet (or planets) conjunct these Avatar Gates (or an Avatar Gate), there is a bunch of knowledge and power that can enter the person in, perhaps, more stable or concrete ways than this knowledge is given/downloaded to the person via the GC (I could, maybe, even say that divine energy can flow through more easily as well – though that might be a reach as of now and this theory being in the earlier stages). I bring up the stable thing because there is a fixed/concrete quality to the fixed signs (just due to the nature of them being “fixed” signs). Like the GC (and even the Wheel of Fortune tarot card), though, I feel like the power that this planet/these planets pack can go in either an easy or challenging way for the person (or maybe even a little bit of both). With great power comes great responsibility kind of thing. Let’s play around with this just for shits and giggles:
    -Let’s say someone had their Mars conjunct the GC, with their Sun at 16-degrees Aquarius (conjunct the Angel’s/Enlightened Human’s Gate). Their drive, independence, and aggression (among other Mars notions) are going to be changed, warped, charged, and transformed per the Mars conjunct the GC’s influence. The kind of downloads the person might get could have to do with their impulses and instinct (when to act, when not to act, etc.). The GC can be a confusing place, though, so the person may not always know exactly WHAT to do with their Mars or the downloads that it receives (how confusing Mars actually would end up being would depend a lot on everything else going on in this hypothetical chart). With this person’s Sun conjunct the Angel’s gate, it seems like divine Source energy might come to them/enter them through their sense of self so that they can use this in humanistic and collective kinds of ways (and by utilizing this within their sense of self, it might actually help to make their drive, and other Mars notions, more clear to them…along with any downloads they get with Mars conjunct the GC). This would obviously be tailored to whatever house the 16-Aquarius Sun falls in this hypothetical chart (along with the house that the GC falls).
    **Since this theory is still a work in progress, it does seem like the actual square aspect between the GC and whatever opposes the SGC would come into play – though I’m still not sure exactly WHAT opposes the SGC, lol. Even so, the Sun in the hypothetical case above could serve as an outlet for the stress between the two points, meaning the way that person decided to utilize their Sun would be very important. Do they use this for the “good” or for the “bad”? That sounds dramatic, but because of the amount of power at this midpoint, it seems like the choice really is up to the person….how they use The Source energy that can flow through this midpoint.

  • Galactic Center Thoughts part XXIII or The Starseed Thing

    Galactic Center Thoughts part XXIII or The Starseed Thing

    Here is a video I did about this same thing if you’re more of a watcher than a reader 🙂

    I have been hesitant to approach this topic…..the topic of Starseeds and how this notion might tie in with the Galactic Center. Why have I been hesitant to “go there”? I think it’s for a couple of different reasons. Some of it might have to do with the fact that there really isn’t a whole lot that is “tangible” about the notion of “starseeds” or about BEING a starseed (it’s COMPLETELY based off of a feeling of knowing – nothing that can really be proven or disproven as of now). The feeling of knowing is important though (I’m not brushing this off). I mean, I’m someone who DOES deal in and do past life work for clients and there is no way to prove a past life exists or not, either (this also deals heavily on the feeling of knowing, too). The difference, I think, between what I do for clients in terms of past life work and the notion of being a starseed in my mind (and how one feels more tangible than the other, to me anyway) has to do with the fact that I’m looking at a natal chart and coming up with your past life story based on things IN your natal chart (and not just pulling ideas out of my ass). I try to make these notions tangible to the client, as well, by explaining my process and why I come to the conclusions that I come to.  Another reason I think I haven’t wanted to dive down the starseed rabbit hole has to do with the way that starseed material is presented to the general public BY the general public. It’s all so fluffy…there isn’t usually a whole bunch that you can really sink your teeth into (it also feels incredibly disconnected from reality a lot of the time). I can definitely deal with things that are disconnected from reality (I find stuff like this fascinating to think about, and I wouldn’t always claim to be personally connected to Earth all of the time, lol), but I do like to try to bring theories down to Earth or make them tangible in some way.

    With all that said though, I do think starseeds (or Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow Children) probably DO exist. I also think, with as weird of a fucking place as the Galactic Center is (and even the Super Galactic Center, Galactic Anti-Center, whatever opposes the Super Galactic Center, and the Great Attractor), I think it’s very possible you might find starseeds having conjunctions to any of these things in the natal chart. This wouldn’t be the only thing to look for, though (I don’t mean that ONLY people who have GC, SGC, whatever opposes the SGC, GaC, and GA conjunct natal planets and points are starseeds) – it would have to be a bunch of different factors coming into play in the chart that would tip a chart weaver off to the idea that “okay, this client *might* be a starseed,” and then proceed from there. The Galactic Grand Cross and the Great Attractor stuff might catch my eye first for looking for this kind of thing, though.

    Okay, so there are a bunch of different starseeds that one could be so I won’t go into all of them in this blog post (or their respective descriptions – you can find a plethora of information on this online already lol), but I will touch on some of the groups. The purpose of all of this is to try and make the starseed thing more tangible via the natal chart (an experiment if you will). Below you will see a list of some of the major starseed groups based off of where they originate, along with a list of things that you can pull in the natal chart under the “extended chart selection” on Astro.com. My advice? If there is a certain type of starseed that you think you might be, pull some of these fixed stars and asteroids in your own natal chart and see if you get any “hits” in your natal chart (such as conjunctions between a natal planet and something on this list within 1.5 degrees applying or separating).

    Orion Starseeds
    -fixed star Mintaka
    -fixed star Rigel (or Rigel, beOri)
    -fixed star Betelgeuse (or Betelgeuse, alOri)

    -Nibru (h49)
    -Sumeria (1970)

    -fixed star Polaris

    This is a list in progress. If you have any other ideas of things that could be pulled, let me know. Asteroid’s DNA, Spirit, Alma, and a few others are on my radar for this purpose, I’m just not totally sure how I would fit them in the mix yet. There is also an asteroid that I remember seeing before that meant “starchild” or something like that, but I can’t remember the number. I will have to look into this more, too.

  • Galactic Center Thoughts part XXII

    **Here is a video that I made about the same thing, for all of you that would rather watch than read**

    I haven’t done any percentages lately about different things I’ve been looking at in regards to the Galactic Center (things that feel like they tie in with the GC but seem to function as a “amplifier” to the GC for people who are already inclined to the way that the GC functions). So, lol, I figured I would do a post about THIS very thing and show what I’ve come up with THUS far.

    I have talked about Jupiter Retrograde throughout this whole study and how I feel like it has a natural affinity with the way that the GC functions. Jupiter (retrograde or direct) has a tie with the GC energy since the GC falls in Sagittarius, but Jupiter Retrograde does feel like it has a special place here. I decided to take Mercury Rx out of this (in the original percentages I was lumping Jupiter Rx and Mercury Rx shit together which I shouldn’t have done). I haven’t fucked with Mercury Rx this go around (though I’m sure I will in future percentage calculations). Instead, this time around I was looking for the percentage of people who have Jupiter Rx (or were born during the shadow period) and/or Jupiter involved with the GC in some way (via conjunction, opposition, trine, or even the square….though I’m still not quite sure WHAT to do with the squares yet). The percentage that I came back for this was 63% – meaning 63% of people have Jupiter Rx (or born in the shadow period) and/or have Jupiter (direct or Rx) making one of the aspects mentioned before to the GC (and the planet conjunct the GC). I found that 37% of participants do not have Jupiter Rx (or born under the shadow period) and don’t have Jupiter making an aspect to the planet conjunct the GC or to the GC itself.
    To break this down even further:
    -69% of these people have Jupiter Rx (or were born during the shadow period)
    -31% of these people have Jupiter (either direct or Rx) making an aspect to the GC and planet conjunct the GC.

    To keep going with the Jupiter thing for a minute, I wanted to look and see how many people had aspects between Jupiter and Chiron, Jupiter and Saturn, and Jupiter and Uranus in their charts. The bounds for this part of the study are simple – it didn’t matter if Jupiter is direct or Rx, or if any of these objects mentioned make contacts with the GC. Since everyone in the study will have SOMETHING conjunct the GC (so far, anyway), I was just curious what the different contacts looked like between these planets (and asteroid) across the different charts. The aspects that I was taking into consideration here are the conjunction, trine, sextile, opposition, square, and quincunx.
    **Jupiter/Chiron Aspects**
    -66% of people in the study thus far have Jupiter making an aspect with Chiron
    -34% of people in the study thus far did not have Jupiter making an aspect with Chiron
    **Jupiter/Saturn Aspects**
    -57% of people in the study thus far have Jupiter making an aspect with Saturn
    -43% of people in the study thus far don’t have Jupiter making aspect with Saturn
    **Jupiter/Uranus Aspects**
    -61% of the people in the study thus far have Jupiter making an aspect with Uranus
    -39% of the people in this study thus far don’t have Jupiter making an aspect with Uranus

    Bringing up the topic of aspects for just a second, I think in the next go-around of percentages to see where things stand, I will be looking at some minor aspects (like the septile, noville, vigintile, etc.). Specifically, I think I will probably focus on the planet (or planets) conjunct the GC and if that planet also happens to make one of these more minor aspects with another planet in the chart.

    I also took a look at Chiron – both to see how many people have Chiron direct and Chiron Rx and to see how many people have Chiron making an aspect to the GC (conjunction, trine, opposition, and square are what I was looking at here). This is what I came back with:
    -50% of people have Chiron Rx SOMEWHERE in the natal chart (doesn’t have to be involved with the GC). The other 50% of people have Chiron direct.
    -54% of people have Chiron (either direct or Rx) making one of the aspects mentioned above to the GC.
    -46% of people have Chiron (either direct or Rx) NOT making one of the aspects mentioned above to the GC.
    –Chiron here should be thought of an an amplifier for the GC energy. While it’s energy certainly ties in with the GC, I think in order for Chiron (direct or Rx) to amplify the GC, something needs to be conjunct or opposite the GC in the first place. I would think that Chiron Rx would serve as a greater amplifier in these cases, since Rx energy ALSO seems to have an affinity for the GC.

    Retrograde planets were the next thing that I wanted to revisit. I looked at these from a couple of different angles, the first of which being the charts of people I would consider to be “retrograde heavy.” When I think of a retrograde heavy chart, I think of someone who has their chart ruler retrograde, or someone who has 3 or more planets retrograde in their chart (things like this make me think “ah, this person has a retrograde heavy chart”). Since everyone in the study thus far has a planet conjunct the GC, I was curious how many of these people would be considered Rx heavy. This is what I came up with:
    -60% of people have retrograde heavy charts
    -40% of people don’t have retrograde heavy charts (even if they have one or two planets retrograde somewhere)
    –I was curious to see how many retrograde heavy people may have been drawn to take part in this research, lol, since there does seem to be an affinity between retrograde planets and the GC.
    From here I wanted to look at the percentage of people who have a retrograde planet conjunct the GC. I have mentioned before some thoughts about this; while the GC seems to have an affinity for retrograde energy, I do wonder WHAT happens to planets conjunct the GC that are retrograde. Does this amplify the retrograde feeling of the planet, or does it do something along the lines of “turning” the planet direct? I could see either of these being a possibility. These are the numbers I came back for this:
    -68% of people had only direct planets (or a direct planet) conjunct the GC
    -32% of people had at least one retrograde planet conjunct the GC

    I also wanted to look at planets Out of Bounds, and how many people have Out of Bounds planets in their natal charts (since I do think that OOB planets might amplify the energy of the GC IF there is already a planet conjunct the GC, or opposing the GC). These are the numbers that I came up with:
    -28% of people have NO Out of Bounds planets in their chart
    -72% of people have at least 1 planet OOB in their chart
    –From the percentage of people that have at least one planet OOB, I broke this down further:
    -48% of people have 1 planet OOB
    -42% of people have 2 planets OOB
    -10% of people have 3 planets OOB
    -No participants had more than 3 planets OOB
    From there I wanted to look and see how many people had their OOB planet (or planets) conjunct the GC. For this, all the planets that someone has OOB didn’t have to be conjunct the GC (I was just looking to see if at least one OOB planet was conjunct the GC for the cases of people having multiple OOB planets). Here are the numbers I found:
    -79% of people that have OOB planets have at least one OOB planet conjunct the GC
    -21% of people have OOB planets that make no conjunction to the GC

    Jupiter and its auroral emissions

    This blog post is probably going to be kind of all over the fucking place (much like the last couple of videos that I’ve made about the Galactic Center – here are videos one and two from this week). Just like the videos, though, I wanted to go a head and get this out there (and at some other point in time I will streamline my thoughts together better…..once I have a better handle where exactly my thoughts are going). I may not be 100% sure where the fuck they’re going – but I do feel like they fit in somehow, someway.

    This past week I started to go down a rabbit hole about planets and x-ray emissions. This kind of started because I got to thinking about the x-rays and radio waves (and other shit) that the GC has coming from it. I started to wonder about planets and their own x-ray emissions, especially since I do think that certain planets are MORE tied to the GC than others. For those new to the game here, those planets are:

    *Jupiter – Obviously this planet would be involved with the GC since the GC is IN Sagittarius. I do think Jupiter Retrograde specifically takes the top spot.
    *Any retrograde planet
    *Any out of bounds planet
    **Retrograde planets and OOB planets don’t automatically give one an “affinity” for the GC, but if the person has planetary contacts to the GC, the Galactic Anti-Center (GaC) or something like that, I think the retrograde and/or OOB planet strengthens this connection.
    *Uranus feels like the planet that is the most tied to the GC after Jupiter. This has been a strong ass feeling I’ve had for a while now, especially since Retrograde planets tend to point towards Uranus as it is AND OOB planets have a wild-card Uranian kind of feeling, too. Also, Uranus is all about change (among other things) and the GC fundamentally changes anything that happens to enter its grasp.
    *Neptune and Pluto definitely have a tie with the GC as well. To me, Pluto’s connection is much more clear since Pluto is all about transformation (among other things) – transformation is something else that the GC does to anything that happens to “fall” into it. Neptune, lol being Neptune, is a little less clear to me but I know that fucker ties in, too (especially since the GC is thought to be a telephone line to the creator or to other dimensions). It would make sense for a planet like Neptune to correlate here, since it is such a spiritual planet.
    *Chiron does have ties as well. Chiron is like a bridge between the inner and the outer planets, and I definitely think of the GC as a bridge from what is “here” in our galaxy to what exists beyond us. Not only that though – Chiron’s whole mythology definitely seems to have ties to the GC, too.
    *Saturn is one that I have recently brought into the game. In esoteric astrology, Saturn is thought of as the “gatekeeper” (which, lol, is incredibly apt when I think about it). In order to even GET to Chiron or the the outer planets, you have to push through Saturn’s ass first.

    All planets have some kind of x-ray emissions. The only planet, so far, that they haven’t found any come from is Neptune (though I’d bet a little money in time they will find them coming from Neptune as well). There are three types of x-ray emissions that a planet can do:
    -Auroral Emissions
    -Fluorescence
    -Scattering of solar x-rays from the Sun

    The two planets that have auroral emissions (or that I can find that FOR SURE have auroral emissions) are Jupiter and Earth, though Jupiter being Jupiter, it does these auroral emissions bigger than the Earth does. Why is this interesting to me? Because if the GC is really like a “lifeline” or “telephone line” to the creator, to other dimensions, or even to the parts of ourselves that we leave “charging” when we incarnate here on Earth (essentially our “higher selves”), then I find it interesting that the only two planets that do these kinds of emissions are Jupiter (which is obviously tied to the GC via Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter) and Earth (which is the planet we are all planted on). Do you see where I’m going with this – like we are somehow more tied to Jupiter and the GC just by way of happening to be ON this planet.
    -Another thing I will bring up is esoteric rulership in astrology. Side note: I don’t use esoteric astrology THAT MUCH in practice (though I do tend to read Saturn in a more esoteric way normally), so I had to dust off some books lol. Anywho, in esoteric astrology, Sagittarius’ exoteric ruler is Jupiter, but it’s esoteric ruler is the Earth. THIS is another interesting tie in (and also something that makes me think I’ll be needing to bring esoteric astrology into this GC thang way more than I originally thought).
    -Jupiter also does the scattering of solar x-rays from the Sun, too.

    Saturn is another planet that I wanted to look at. It, like Jupiter, does the scattering of solar x-rays from the Sun. Saturn’s rings also Fluoresce. I have also seen different articles that mention’s that Saturn might also do the auroral emissions as well, but the sources that I’ve found haven’t seemed as concrete as the one’s that deal with Jupiter (and obviously the Earth) being able to do this. It absolutely wouldn’t surprise me if Saturn does this, too, especially since Saturn is so tied to the physical, like Earth (though it wants us to break beyond that bondage). In esoteric astrology, Saturn is ruled by Saturn regardless of exoteric or esoteric rulership (which, lol, figures).

    Uranus is another one that does emit x-rays (that was recently found out a few years back), though it seems like they haven’t quite figured out HOW this happens. I’m gunna bet a little money that they will find that it does all three of the above types. By way of esoteric astrology, Aquarius has it’s exoteric ruler as Uranus, but it’s esoteric ruler is Jupiter. In my mind, in a more concrete way, this ties together Jupiter and Uranus more directly than I have before (throughout much of this research I have felt that Jupiter and Uranus are strongly linked with the GC, and even with one another….I was just leaving the esoteric perspective out).

    I haven’t yet found out if Chiron emits any kind of x-rays or not (though it probably does something). Pluto also does something, but because of it’s distance from the Sun they aren’t really sure HOW it would be scattering solar-rays from the Sun. I think the pictures aren’t good enough (or something, I’m honestly not really sure), so they can’t really tell HOW Pluto is able to emit x-rays as of now.

    HOW does all of this ACTUALLY tie in with the GC? Not totally sure yet. But I know it probably fucking does.

  • Galactic Center Thoughts part XX

    **Here is a video that I made about the same thing, if you’re more of a watcher than a reader**

    There are a few different planets that I’ve brought up as far as feeling very intertwined with the GC. Obviously Jupiter (and Jupiter Rx specifically). Uranus is another one that I have brought up, and Chiron has been discussed (even though Chiron isn’t a planet, it still feels very in-tune with the GC energy. Now, there is one planet that is amongst all of these in the line up, and that’s Saturn. I feel like since all of these other planets feel like they correlate with the GC energy, Saturn can’t be left out of the game, either (especially since it doesn’t go Jupiter, Chiron (the bridge between the inner and outer planets), and Uranus……..before you can even get to Chiron and cross that fucking bridge to the outers, you would techinically have to deal with Saturn first.

    Okay okay okay I’ll admit it, I’m biased and I fucking love Saturn (I mean, lol, you’re on a website called Saturn Season). Most people probably already know this about me, lol, but just incase your new here, you’re not going to get the same doom and fucking gloom reading on Saturn. Can Saturn be limitations and restrictions? Sure. BUT ONLY IF YOU LET SATURN FUCKING BE LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS. Lookit, you can sit there and fucking whine about what Saturn is doing in your life via transits, or you can bitch about what Saturn is doing in your natal chart…….or you can do something about it and rise to the challenge. Ultimately that’s what I believe big daddy Saturn wants from all of us – to rise to his challenge via natal placement AND transits/progressions, and not pussy the fuck out.

    So….how does any of this actually TIE in to the GC? I almost feel like in order to fully make the most of the GC in our own charts, Saturn has to be “dealt” with square on. This would be because Saturn is last of the inner planets before we get to outer planets (I think physical 3D limitations and restrictions probably need to be dealt with before we can start to really tap into the GC in anything remotely resembling a conscious way – especially since while the GC is obviously very “Jupiter” inclined, it is also very outer planet inclined, too). This would be the case for ANYONE since the GC will exist in everyone’s chart, though I do think this pull to actually deal with Saturn and any limitations or restrictions that it tries to impose needs to especially be busted through for people that have GC conjunctions, oppositions, trines, and probably even the squares (though I’m still playing around with those).

    So how does one actually “deal” with Saturn and it’s shit? This would depend heavily on your entire chart and what Saturn is doing IN your chart (the house it falls, the sign it falls, the aspects it makes, etc.). Because Saturn is such a physical planet, there usually is trauma that follows Saturn of a more “physical” nature. That doesn’t necessarily mean that there is literal physical trauma to your body because of where Saturn falls in your chart, but the trauma that exists from Saturn is very 3D and physical to this realm (and very, very real), and will manifest by way of sign, house, and aspects made. I’m not belittling this trauma that might exist from Saturn in your natal chart (I know Saturn can be a real fucking pain in the ass and painful), I just know that this little fucker doesn’t want anyone to actually let him limit them – pushing through the pain or the trauma in order to come out the other side makes us stronger. And I do think with all the energy that goes on at the GC, the more strength we can gain from rising to Saturn’s challenges will on help us in navigating all the GC’s energy (and again, this feels incredibly amplified if we’re talking about people with planets conjunct the GC, trine the GC, conjunct the Galactic Anti-Center, or even square the GC).

    What makes Saturn easier to deal with in this way, from this angle? Having Saturn involved with the GC axis (maybe the conjunction) may help. Though I could ALSO see Saturn conjunct the GC making it harder to deal with Saturn in the physical world in some cases. Saturn Rx, while difficult, seems like it might be easier to deal with from the angle of the GC since Saturn Rx points towards Uranus. Saturn is never out of bounds, so you won’t see an OOB Saturn or have that on your side to help out.

    I am going to have to think some more about this, because while Saturn is VERY DIFFERENT from the GC in pretty much all ways, I do feel like it is a piece to GETTING to the GC, understanding it’s energy, or being able to apply its energy in one’s life.
