galactic center – Mary Dodd

Jupiter is now at the intensely concentrated 29^th degree of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter which brings expansion wherever it goes. Sagittarius is loud, the entertainer, the lawyer, loves foreign travel, accumulating higher knowledge and embarking on zealous spiritual quests. Now at this intense 29^th degree, you may be feeling the power of Sagittarius, depending on where this lands in your chart.

Jupiter has been conjunct the Galactic Center (the center of the Milky Way Galaxy) at 27 Sagittarius since November 19^th, ushering in higher cosmic knowledge to us individually and to the world.

See where the Galactic Center resides in your natal chart at 27 Sagittarius to gain an understanding of how the current and upcoming important aspects will bring opportunities to you. The Sun, Mercury and Mars will all join the Galactic Center during the month of December.

Look back to 2006-2009 to get a sense of what began in your life as a result of the Pluto conjunction to the Galactic Center, then consider November 2017 when Saturn was at this important point to understand how this energy may be cycling in your life.

The Galactic Center is the heart of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Located about 27,000 light years from earth, the very slow moving Galactic Center (1 degree every 72 years) is currently at 27 degrees Sagittarius. Our entire Solar System revolves around the Galactic Center, much like the Earth revolves around the Sun. It takes 250 million years for our Sun and solar system to revolve completely around the Galactic Center.

The Galactic Center is thought to be a super massive black hole and corresponds to the astronomical radio source of Sagittarius A.

Why is this Important?

Jupiter, the Great Benefic, joins the Galactic Center on November 19, 2019 and will continue to aspect this point through the end of November, bringing in expansion, justice, abundance and awakening to higher knowledge and consciousness.

Other planets will follow Jupiter to aspect the Galactic Center including Venus (November 23) bringing in love energy, the Sun (December 19) making this a personal experience, Mercury (December 27) affecting how we think, and Mars (February 13, 2020) adding great energy to the mix.

This will be a time of great awakening for many and if you have a planet within 5 degrees of this point, you will feel this more intensely.

Cycle of Learning

Jupiter returns to the Galactic Center every 12 years and brings with it the opportunity for expanded awareness of your Soul’s purpose. This is now an unusual return since Pluto (the Great Transformer) was at the Galactic Center in 2006/2007, bringing big and often tumultuous change. Saturn (the Great Taskmaster) reached the Galactic Center in late 2017, bringing lessons, responsibility and sometimes painful learning. Think back to 2006-2007 and what was happening in your world at that time to gain an understanding of the cycle. Has your awareness grown and your insight changed over the past twelve years?

If you have planets that will be aspected, consider the house and energies involved for a deeper understanding of how this may impact you.
