Galactic Centres

Traditionally, when we think of astrology, we think of planets.   And when we think of planets, we think of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto – the planets that we have known and loved for so long.  They represent what is known and familiar, what we understand.  But our solar system is expanding along with our consciousness, especially around Pluto in an area called the Kuiper Belt where we are discovering a whole new species of dwarf planets – Haumea, Makemake, Quaoar and beyond that to Sedna and Eris.

As we begin to expand our view of ourselves and venture beyond the solar system, we discover some interesting playmates. This is a larger reality within which our solar system is nested.  Our solar system is not a stand alone system.   It’s time for us to open out beyond our current level of consciousness to explore connections to this galactic energy and what it tells us about who we are becoming.  As Philip Sedgwick says in his book The Soul of the Sky, there is no protective fence around our modest Sun and its gravitational grouping.

We are part of a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way, 100,000 light years across and our Sun is only one of it’s 200 billion stars.  All the stars that you see in the night sky are part of the Milky Way Galaxy.

 

 

 

At the centre of the Milky Way is a supermassive black hole that we know as The Galactic Centre or the Central Sun. The Milky Way Galaxy is just one of tens of thousands forming a super galaxy that in turn revolves around the Super Galactic Centre.  There are three fixed points on the Human Design chart that emit incredibly powerful energies – the Galactic Centre, the Super Galactic Centre and the Great Attractor.  The Galactic and Super Galactic Centres are both massive black holes.  The Great Attractor is  …  well no one knows quite what it is, but it is close to the biggest thing we know in our universe.

The Galactic Centre

Our Solar System takes 240 million years to spiral around The Galactic Centre, which has at it’s heart a massive black hole.  Astrologer Philip Sedgwick describes it’s effect on our mind as similar to a computer defrag.  All the old bits – beliefs and ideas – get sucked out, leaving a sort of crazy pattern that may feel quite disjointed and uncomfortable.  When we’re used to holding tight to a stable way of perceiving the world, an activation to the Galactic Centre may leave us feeling quite exposed, confused and vulnerable.  The next stage is that we receive new ideas that may feel ‘out of the box’, a flash of brilliance.  People with planets activating the Galactic Centre in their design can feel as if they are walking to a different drummer.  They often experience  a sense that no one understands what they have to say, and may find that their ideas are ignored, and then later taken up as if they came from someone else.
