Shapley Attractor Stimulants ~ 3 Sep 2026

Between now and the middle of December, Mercury and Venus, both of whom seek retrograde reprieve in Scorpio (and into Libra for Venus), engage the Shapley SuperCluster, Shapley 8 and the Hawaiian creativity goddess Haumea who is notable because of her dwarf planet status.


Corrected to 2026, the precessed estimated position for the Shapley Attractor tips the scales at 28 Libra 50 and for Shapley 8, a notable component of the Shapley SuperCluster, powers in at 2 Scorpio 44.


Venus stands in orb of the Shapley complexes from virtually now until 1 November when she retrogrades far enough back in Libra not to considered in orb. After she stations in mid November returning direct, she’s in orb again of all that Shapley jazz from 26 November until the middle of December. Here’s the timeline breakdown:


08 September -Venus to the Shapley SuperCluster in Libra

14 September - Venus to Shapley 8 with Haumea and Moon in Scorpio

29 September - Mercury to the Shapley SuperCluster in Libra

02 October - As Venus stations turning retrograde, Mercury achieves exact conjunction with Shapley 8 and Haumea in Scorpio.

19 October - Venus to Haumea as the Sun moves into orb with the Shapley SuperCluster in Scorpio

20 October - Venus retrograde to Haumea in Scorpio

21 October - Sun conjunct Shapley Supercluster in Libra

23 October - Sun-Venus conjunction in Scorpio, Venus retrograde as Mercury stations reversing to retrograde

26 October - Sun conjunct Shapley 8 in Scorpio, Venus conjunct Shapley Supercluster in Libra

04 November - Sun conjunct Mercury in Scorpio

14 November - Mercury stations resuming prograde motion within a degree of Haumea in Scorpio

01 December - Venus direct, crosses the degree of the Shapley SuperCluster in Libra

07 December - Venus direct, stands exactly conjunct Shapley 8 in Scorpio

10 December - Venus conjoins Haumea in Scorpio for the final exact aspect in this pattern sequence


Supercluster’s are massive. Their orb can easily extend past four degrees of an arc. Shapley 8 is hugely gravitational. The orb of this anomaly could easily be assumed to be six degrees.


What does all this mean? Let’s break it down by components:


Venus seeks soulful attributes, the stuff that makes passion potent, and Venus demands that each person value their most creative and soul-based resources for what they are: intangible and invaluable.


Mercury in Scorpio runs thick in the realm of subtext. It’s not so much what you say, it’s how you say it and what that tone of intention actually implies. Know that Mercury in Scorpio knows the truth about inner motivations but may determine that others do not need to be hip to your truest intentions to remain aligned with you. The statement “do not ask questions for which you do not want to know the answers” applies fully. Trying to be sexy or clever could be detrimental to personal fulfillment. Be direct, intense and full of the passion that rocks your world.


Haumea is a Hawaiian deity of creativity. She despises third party triangulations, may be jealous of competition and perceive others are honing in on her craft, goods, property, or relationships. She possesses unsurpassed birthing capacity from any area of the body, and she looks better that before after every birthing crisis endured... this is likely true for transformation excursions as well. She can create unlimited options, knows how to feed the people, and prides herself on her competence and creative spirit. One of her moons rules the hula - the telling of mythical and cultural tales without saying a word.


The Shapley SuperCluster combines galactic entities all seeking to portray the optimum in personal excellence. This obviously improves all relationships and asks that creative souls cluster together to achieve passionate objectives more easily in tandem than individually.


Shapley 8 is a potent subset of the Shapley SuperCluster located in early Scorpio. Those connected to this point benefit from recognizing the potency of their insights. In fact, these individuals quickly recognize that they have systems that can be applied for benefit by multitudes. There is no shrinking away from influence here. It is a matter of deciding the soul benefit of ones offerings and presenting those offerings systemically in the interest of achieving all those things that fill the sails of the soul.


During the Venus and Mercury transits to the Shapley SuperCluster, Shapley 8 and Haumea, several realizations appear. The extent to which one can influence others to achieve their most passionate objectives becomes conscious. And, of course, one must first recognize how much lust exists in their life. Lust for passion, lust for interaction, lust for sex and lust for creative output that stirs souls into fevered frenzies. Says this combo: Make lust lustrous.


Attenuation, sublimation and psychological binders are not permitted. This is balls to the wall, no holds barred, beyond the beyond, if I don’t do this I die on the vine. During the transits to the Shapley SuperCluster, Shapley 8 and Haumea, a person goes full protagonist. They will do whatever they believe what must be done to accomplish their greatest life objectives without hesitation and without reservation in the interest of healing the dark night of the soul and expressing whatever epiphanies to which they are privy.


Obsession, compulsion, attraction, repulsion in unlimited measure fills the airwaves with a pungent etheric aroma. Pheromones are like fuel. Emotions are empowering. Soulful sensations and urges to accomplish the greatest in life provide the psychic plasma of the moment. Bottom line, a person wants what they want and on the path to getting from the Universe what they need, they will do anything, go above and beyond and drive forward with unrelenting motivation.


Ultimately, the Universe dares everyone to engage, to create and to share that creativity within the structure of a soul-based template that benefits all.


Be happy with the share that organically comes your way. Bill Gates, creator of the Windows operating system is estimated to control slightly more than 60% of the operating system market. Apple and Linux have their shares as well. Why mention Bill Gates? He has a natal Sun on Shapley 8. Using the Windows reach as an analogue, you aren’t going to get everyone engaged. Deal with those that do engage and realize you offer something new and something far beyond preaching to the choir. Create what you create, offer it to all and know not everyone will cozy up to your concepts or creation. Those that do not engage are not doing things wrong. They do things according to what suits their nature - your way is not their way.


It’s all about nature and soul. Frolic in your nature during the above times, create what you create and blast your soul out there to everyone. It is your brand.


More soon.


There’s nothing I’d rather do with astrology than consult with those who want to share their creativity and consciousness with others. Creatives are special sorts of souls. They dare to risk it all, and when consulting with these people a ration of energy is created. Want to be a part of all that?
