Mergers and More ~ 13 April 2006

Since January 3^rd we’ve been feeling the impact of something - an unknown something that just recently came to light. Actually, it’s like that a lot in astrophysics these days. Energy reaches us or we observe deep space celestial phenomena and we don’t get the goods and details for months. On January 3^rd, not only were we in orb of the Earth being as close to the Sun as it gets each year, we also contended with Jupiter crossing Abell 400, located at 13 Taurus 45 (epoch 2000.0). The January passage marked the first of three connections and we’re on the edge of the retrograde pass to the cosmic complex again, the next occurring May 6th.

Cosmic complex? Indeed. Two black holes recently received distinctive resolution courtesy of the Chandra Observatory flying over head at some 86500 + miles. Not only are there two distinct black holes in an interactive merger, they collide as they are drawn into a neighboring galactic cluster. Like any good merger, it takes time - here probably millions of years. Cosmic turf must first be defined and the bodies throw their weight (mass) around seeing who has more pull (gravitational pressure). The end result from the gravitational pressure comes forth in radio waves bent over backward as if looped upon a Pilate ball, intense x-ray emanation and probably gravity waves to come.

And we care about this why? The recent Mars-Pluto-Galactic Center-Mercury pattern brought up a few crises of closeness if I’m interpreting the phone calls and e-mails correctly. Many claim they’ve had to redefine boundaries but more in a pull up stakes completely and commence a new surveying from scratch. Deals require new definitions. Persons in interpersonal relationships with any element of constriction, control, manipulation, suffocation or any attribute other than blissful contentedness need to reset the parameters of the purpose and play. Some transactions went smoothly. Others contained more bumps.

It’s not a battle of egos nor wills nor any psychological stuff. It’s about energy. When one person feels that another encroaches upon their space, the right of their “weight” in life or their energy, the situations approach untenable bounds and explosive terms if not swiftly resolved. The term cannibalism often appears in astrophysics as one object devours another. In Abell 400 the reports infer the collision happens between two fairly balanced contenders with no cannibalism implied. The objective suggested observes that an option of resolution appears when both parties agree to a new objective far beyond all known bounds. Both parties need to stretch and grow together and in balance with what they bring to the table. One person cannot force conformity upon the other. Given mutually shared growth and exploration, things expand into galactic wonders never before seen.

Unknown to us, this process began in January courtesy of the amplifying Jupiter tugging on this Taurean point from its Scorpio roller coaster ride. Now Jupiter retraces his steps and offers a chance to ask, “What the hell was I thinking?” Mercury, Mars, Pluto and the GC install an undeniable need for progress and evolution for every person on planet Earth. First, note the tugs that seek to usher you to berths you do not intend to be your port. Cut the cords and redirect your course consistent with the best and farthest reaching beliefs you can conjure up with Jupiter. Then, note the places where your energy naturally seeks to merge - no imposition, no controls, no demands - just natural attraction. Let go and let the galactic gravity be your guide. Sounds simple. It is for those who can let go of the picture from down here and can align with our eye in the sky, Chandra. As May begins, notice the urges and yearnings that result from positive attractions only. Disconnect from drains, demands and liabilities. In no time, you’ll be readying yourself for the completion of this three-fold pattern come September 3^rd. Merge smart. In those mergers lies the great beyond.
