The Weekly Galactic Times
for January 3, 2003

As mentioned in the last Galactic Times, the astronomers have been quite busy of late. On the 20th of last month, astrophysicists announced their awareness of the black hole matrix NGC 6240. Matrix means that two supermassive black holes exist in the same galactic point and appear to be falling under the influence of each others' potent accretion disks. These swirling vortices irresistibly throw themselves at one another. And where would this point be? Precisely, this galactic structure cuts it's notch in the Zodiac Belt at 11 Sagittarius 30 (and 22.9 minutes according to NASA's SIMBAD). The imagery suggests that with merger and the full utilization of each other's energy, the resulting central core (theme) becomes stronger. Powerfully, in this politically and theologically divisive time, this galactic structure encourages recalling the important theme of sharing commonality. For instance, the point of religion seeks to verify the Creator, define God (as if it can) and provi! de a spiritual template for life on Politically, our elected officials claim to represent the people for the good of the country. Those who are conservative and those who are liberal make the same claim. Truthfully, the point of this Sagittarian merger insists that energy be shared in common cause, similarity of spirit and under the auspices of incisive truth. So simple and so difficult.

Meanwhile, Quaoar, the object recently noted in a recent article on Stariq (www.StarIQ.com) officially received its number, 50000, and even more remarkably, the astronomers et al. accepted the name previously submitted (before the official numbering, which marks the prescribed protocol of the naming procedure). Notably, this object is the first entity to receive the namesake of a Native American deity! The traditional Greco-Roman nomenclature has lost its hold on the naming of new bodies. In terms of exceptions to the previous mythological naming rules, two bodies in the distant Kuiper Belt define this shift away from the previous tradition. These are Quaoar, minor planet 50000, and Varuna (of Vedic orientation), minor planet 20000. The even numbers are coincidental, as well as an odd occurrence.

Quaoar restores the images of song, dance and ceremony to invoke the spirits of creation and bring about the good life intended by the Creator. While some traditional religions might scoff at the primitive tone of the ceremonies, bear in mind that many religions pray via saints, canonized people and worse yet, deacons, ministers, pastors, priestesses and priests. And most religions sing songs of praise, glory and upliftment. A key point to recall while we welcome Quaoar's and Varuna's far reaching grasps, is that the black hole combo, NGC 6240, suggests the inclusion of all energy that serves the common cause.

The initial delineation suggestions of Quaoar come through the urgent need for compassion and tolerance (perihelion in Pisces) within fairness and cooperation (North Node in Libra).

Then, for good measure, the centaur, 1998QM107, received a minor planet number - 49036. This grounding-promoting, reality-connecting body bears messages of Capricorn and Leo. The priority of this centaur rings up the need for real world connection. Treat the needs of the real world with respect, honor and favor. Add to this a strong need to cultivate an impeccable sense of self, certainty in consciousness and an ego in balance. Ego in balance suggests allowing the core essence of the spirit to receive full, honest expression. In this instance, all talents, gifts and personal resources require utilization in the real world.

The summary of the last week or so of astronomical revelation notes that if an individual finds ways and means of total creative expression, then they become a complete manifestation of the intent of the Creator. Regardless or religious views or not, the soul shines like a beacon. This illumination sings into the airwaves filling them with the thick richness of talent and potent expression. Like the songs of Quaoar, the sound waves of good, hope, inspiration and soul-full becoming ring through the air.

Meanwhile, a Quaoar ephemeris will soon become available. For that and more information, please contact me. Oh yeah, there are astrological gifts that will make the hearts of the recipients sing. And the time remaining to shop for the holidays compresses with black hole precision.

Until next time,
