The Sun joins The Norma Cluster on December 5

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.

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.

Norma Cluster – Great Attractor Astrology

The Great Attractor is a galactic anomaly, an immense concentration of mass and energy. Astrologically it represents dilemmas of fate and free will…The attraction to this point possesses a seductive tone, it knows something you have to know… Issues of rightness, wrongness and fallibility fail to matter here… A narrow view (or opinionated nature) does not fit with the Great Attractor. There is not one simple answer.

Those possessing GA contacts, thus serve as a point of objectivity. They seek to enlighten others to the fact that there is yet another way. Often to do this, they will polarize. The point is: to make the point. The point will be made. The essence of GA insists that multiple points be understood.

Ironically, once these people show what they know, others flock to them like flies to melting ice cream on a hot summer day. Others make the assumption that GA people have something important to say. Ideally, the GA person grasps the gravity of that situation all by themselves. Simply and graciously, they receive the accolades rendered to their insight and knowing. [1]
