Mars to Shapely 8

"That said, Mars will be heading over the degree of super-massive galactic anomaly, Shapley 8, in the next days as well. Shapley 8 is a huge gravitational steering mechanism that does galactic flight control for the Great Attractor, our group of local galaxies and our galaxy. With Mars transiting this point, expect draws and pulls outside of the typical realm of influence.

Let’s say a person walks down the street of a Christmas street fair. As they pass a vendor’s booth, the sunlight aligns perfectly with glass orbs inside some cool spinning device that is an amazing window decoration. It’s awesome! You could get lost in that dang thing. If you had it hanging in a window where the morning Sun can spread light though the sphere in visually tantalizing spectrums, you could get lost in it.

Would getting lost in the visual display offer you inspiration, restore frustration with awe, and inspire an understanding of the mysteries of the universe? Or would you idly dream away endless hours with no perceivable gain? Saturn in Capricorn will want to know.

Mars to Shapley 8 will impel you to attend to ideas and activities that were not on your agenda. Will these gravitational disturbances more perfectly direct your path in the next days? Will the distractions seed new life-altering activities? Is the investment of energy in accord with the best intentions of your soul? The answer lies in the intent with which one applies Martian effort.

It’s a great thing that the Mercury-Earth-Sun alignment virtually coincides with Mars to Shapley 8. Develop an instinctive overlay to all those galactically potent pulls that demand your action to ensure that you consider the previously unimaginable, the potentially daunting and the most certainly life changing within the most appropriate commitment of your energy to cause."
