Every 248 years, Pluto crosses the Galactic Center point, a rare and auspicious event.
The Galactic Center: “The Galactic Core is like a boiling cauldron of raw creation, where all the components such as stars, hot and cold gas, magnetic fields and the central black hole show an intimate interaction… It is almost as if the Galactic center was a living organism”,
Dr Heino Falcke
A complex and mysterious place. the galactic center is at the edge of the extremely bright object named Sagittarius (Sgr) A, which harbors a million-solar-mass black hole. Astronomers say that the Galactic Center emanates a hundred times the energy of our sun, and surely, as Paul Hewit says, the Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. All centers are fundamental in metaphysics representing primary origins or heavens.
Pluto: Jeffrey Wolf Green correlates Pluto with the soul and evolution. This powerful energy governs Scorpio and the eighth house, assimilated to the Phoenix Bird that dives into the flames to be reborn again. The metamorphosis from old to new can be quite intense, where loss and death (real and metaphorical) are confronted and shadows are revealed. Pluto’s scorpion checks and defenses are always rooted in wounds and deep wounds, and ultimately where we learn to relax, as things created anew are always good. Consciously working with the alchemical effects of Pluto allows us to truly change.
Sagittarius: Jupiter, also known as Zeus in mythology, and the greatest of the Greek gods, rules this sign. He basically rules the Universe and is the highest authority among the immortals. He is also considered the guardian of political order and peace among humans. Jupiter is the second largest entity in our solar system after the Sun, and esoteric writings attest to information and wisdom coming to humans from Jupiter. Sagittarius qualities are joy, wisdom, faith, adventure, abundance, expansion, freedom, truth, and the Divine vs. the Mundane (the dual representation of this mutable sign). Sagittarius is philosophical, intuitive, and most importantly connected to “Natural Law” vs. “Man-made law.”
The Center of the Galaxy is at 26:55 (almost 27) degrees Sagittarius, and Pluto is currently in the sign of Sagittarius at 26:03 and is moving (with some retrograde action) towards the GC to conjoin on December 28 2006. This is a very significant event, occurring only every 248 years, and for those tuned in, the effects are already strong!
The last Pluto/Galactic Center cycle generally coincides with the start of the Industrial Revolution, which basically means the application of power-driven machinery to manufacturing. For example, in England, the countryside was transformed from an open field farming system to compact farms and closed fields. Systematic ranching was also pioneering. Then, of course, came the steam engine, electricity, railways, urban life, new social classes, etc. Of course, look how far we’ve come in such a short amount of time. Pluto also symbolizes the speeding up of time, but that’s another article.
In astrology, what we see and know is what impacts our consciousness and can be interpreted through astrological symbols. We note that the discoveries of Uranus, Pluto, Neptune, and Chiron (at least in our recorded history) were overshadowed by events characteristic of them. For example, Uranus can occasionally be seen with the naked eye, but it wasn’t identified as a planet until 1781, coinciding with the American and French revolutions toward “new” societies and aviation.
The first studies to find the center of the galaxy began in 1915 – 1919 with a scientist named Shapely, but with computer technology, discoveries like the radio wave emissions shown in the image, there is a stampede towards new information and the galactic center is firmly embedded in the memes of human consciousness.
I believe this new Pluto cycle has the potential for transformation in our ability to more intuitively understand the wisdom of natural law and information that may be emanating from the galactic center. Clearly, a new cycle is beginning, and where the old dies, events intensify as the new is born. Many ideas and behaviors will emerge in direct contradiction to what may be coming, simply because people desperately and passionately try to hold on to things that may be dying. Change is seldom graceful.
Pluto may represent the evolution of our consciousness, and because this coincides with the end of several major cycles in different traditions, the shift we experience and recognize may be one of accessing the natural order of the universe rather than remaining in our limited conditioning. . of man-made law, especially the last 6,000 years of patriarchal rule. If the Galactic Center has the gravitational energy of the galaxy in Sagittarius, which embodies energy, aspiration, motivation, joy, truth and intuitive understanding, and as the center has the energies of the source of consciousness, then if one can tune into how this energy affects you personally, the changes in consciousness can be enormous during the next almost two years of Pluto’s transit through the Galactic Center.
Although it is not a real planet but a point on the chart, like the nodes of the moon, the GC point on your chart is very powerful. It is an area where profound truths about the natural order of things can be realized. Everyone has it somewhere and everyone has the opportunity to profoundly change their way of thinking with this event. If you have something in the mutable signs of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo and Pisces that is within 3 degrees (23 – 29 degrees) of the 26:55 aspect, then the impact can be undeniable. Which house and which planets, along with the general themes of the chart, will fill in the details.
How to know what is the natural law? Think with your heart and trust your intuition. This usually translates to common sense. Take a look at your chart if you know how to read it and find out what this could mean for you.
