Constellation Norma, the Level and Square, is one of the 88 modern constellations, and spans 6 degrees of the zodiac within constellation Scorpius, from 8° to 14° Sagittarius Sign. It is bordered by Scorpius to the north, Lupus to the northwest, Circinus to the west, Triangulum Australe to the south and Ara to the east.

The constellation was introduced in 1751 by Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille with the French name l’Équerre et la Ordre , “the Square and Rule”. Norma is Latin for normal, referring to a right angle. Constellation Norma represents a rule, a carpenter’s square, a set square or a level.

Norma Constellation Meaning in Astrology

Constellation Norma et Regula, the Level and Square, is said to give honesty, truthfulness, justice and an upright life, with interest in Freemasonry, geometry, surveying, mathematics and architecture. ^[1]

The Norma Cluster

The Norma Cluster (Abell 3627) is a large supercluster of galaxies located near the center of the Great Attractor, a gravitational attraction in intergalactic space. The Great Attractor is a supercluster that contains our galaxy, the Milky Way, and about 100,000 other galaxies.

The Great Attractor exerts a tremendous gravitational pull. It is the biggest thing known to science, but we cannot see it because it is on the other side of the Milky Way. Yet we can see the Norma Cluster, so astrologically, it is the same as the Great Attractor.

I have only started to research the Great Attractor, but people with it rising in their charts are very attractive and captivating; we want to know about them and hear what they say. For example, Kim Kardashian (0°01′) and Neymar (0°03′) have massive following on social media.

The Great Attractor is a mysterious all-knowing, all-seeing entity somewhat like God. According to Philip Sedgwick, once you focus on it, an inescapable force that pulls you in. ^[2] 

Once drawn in, you must know more about it, the meaning of life and issues of rightness and wrongness. Its broad emission lines indicate complex answers where multiple points must be understood. It does not fit with narrow or opinionated views. ^[2] So like the constellation Norma, it represents the truth.

The Norma Cluster is one of the three key celestial areas that have special functions in transcendental karmic astrology. The other two are Virgo A (M87) at 02°03′ Libra and Sagittarius A* (the Galactic Center) at 25°50′ Sagittarius.

Midheaven conjunct Norma Cluster: J. P. Morgan 0°00′.

Venus conjunct Norma Cluster: Johnny Carson 0°47′.
