It's not the fat, but how many calories are you consuming on a daily basis?
Am I eating too much fat?
Last seven days: 144, 109, 120, 109, 130, 131, 136.
Each day fat has accounted for at least 58% of my total calories.
Sources: almonds, bacon, beef, salmon, eggs, olives, chicken, salad dressing, butter, aged cheese, and (a tiny bit of the one bad thing I can't quit yet) peanut butter.
I have an active job, but am getting minimal exercise due to work, heat, and graduate school.
I've reached a plateau in weight loss after about five pretty good weeks of losing 2 lbs/week. Am I over indulging in fats?
It's not the fat, but how many calories are you consuming on a daily basis?
It varies between 1500 and 1900, with the average being right at 1700. My BMR is 1580, but I'm pretty sure I'm active enough to burn more than the difference.
Definitely not too much fat or calories. Are you making your own salad dressing? If not I would. Also, try subbing macadamia nut butter for the peanut butter but try not to eat too many nuts...those could be stalling your weight loss. Substitute coconut oil.

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." - Voltaire
For nutrition/wellness tips:
Too few calories in my opinion. Never drop below your BMR. Your BMR is basically what you'd burn laying in bed all day doing nothing. Through out the course of your typical day, you burn much more than that, even with an office job! Total calories do matter, primal or not.
You don't need as much vitamin E if you aren't eating SAD, so I'm told.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.

NASA Quest
+ Search Quest
Hi, I am a teaching credential student in the Secondary Education program at San Francisco State University. I also earned a bachelor's degree in physics from San Francisco State University. I discovered my interest in education in 2008, and have worked with students in the classroom since.
I enjoy doing sports, such as swimming, jogging, badminton, and volleyball. They shake my worries away. I also enjoy cooking myself, or looking up information about gourmet food in the city. Recently, I fell in love with hummus, Middle Eastern style BBQ, and gyros. I also enjoy foods around the world and am ready to try any kind of authentic dish. My personal favorite food is steak and steamed fish.
I admire the endurance and the energy scientists spend in their projects. Additionally, I have always been fascinated by Madame Wu and Madame Curie; I admire women who have outstanding performance in science. I look forward to seeing my students do well in physics and math.

He described one element of his job as collecting as much information as possible, in order to have context and greater perspective in determining the causes of death. The Riley County coroner asked for his assistance. He has performed over 11,000 autopsies.
Dr. Mitchell's testimony
contradicted the various stories told by the defendant as to causes of death. Using photos to buttress his testimony, he suggested that there was serious blunt force trauma to both mother and child; this trauma was to the left side of the chest and was much greater on the body of Tanya than of Juan. Dr. Mitchell suggested that this was due to the greater force needed to subdue an adult compared to the force needed to subdue a 13 month-old child.
He discussed how blood moves when tissue is living; how trauma appears when it occurs pre- or post- mortem.
During the testimony, autopsy pictures were briefly shown that reflected the bruising that went clear to the bone of the chest. The picture that was most moving for me was one that showed a hair tie, still around Tanya's ponytail. Although I know the spirit and soul of Tanya was no longer connected to the remains, nonetheless the hairtie is such a small, human thing. The act of pulling one's hair into a tie is so common that seeing that photo for 2 seconds brought a flood of feeling for our humble humanity.
|Photo of Dr. Erik Mitchell: HERE
Dr. Mitchell tesitfied that in his opinion, the deaths were not accidental. He also stated that the possibility of two healthy people dying accidentally within minutes of each other was infinitesimally small.
Read more details of Erik Mitchell's testimony: story by Lindsey Rogers at Channel 13 WIBW-- excerpt:
"...Mitchell says he could not tell exactly how the victims died because of the lapse in time before they died and when their bodies were found. Animals had also disturbed their remains. Mitchell told the jury he found evidence of blunt force trauma on Tanya's chest consistent with injuries he's seen in major falls and in people who have been hit by a car. He also found hemorrhaging on Juan's chest that was similar to his mother's injuries but not as severe. He said he did not find any injuries consistent with CPR being performed..."

Thoughts on the Galactic Center
- At the recent NCGR conference, Linea Van Horn said that the Galactic Center occupied a rather large space in the heavens so it is not isolated to 26 degrees Sagittarius.
- In 1990, when I first traveled to visit astrologers in Eastern Europe, the founder of the Czech astrological Society, Pavel Turnovsky, showed me a historical timeline whereby the Jewish Nation was always affected by the Galactic Center changing degrees. It entered 26 degrees in the late 1930s when Hitler rose to power. It will enter 27 degrees in the Summer 2011.
- I have made some obserevations of planets conjunct the Galactic Center. I only used the exact degree. I found that it was a highly sensitizing area.
I studied Theosophy in the 1980s and was was able to apply theosophical concepts to the Galactic Center conjunct a natal planet. For those of you who know Theosophy, I will say that it incorporates Ray IV energies to the planet. Ray IV is the sensitive and intuitive ray energy – it is sensitive to sound, color and vibration. It is not exactly sensitive like Neptune because the Galactic Center has an Uranus "feel" to it. When you experience a "hard" Uranus transit, it over-stimulates the nadis and the nervous system so that you feel like your fingers are stuck in an electrical outlet.
Some astrologers have felt that this was a Spiritual placement but I feel that one needs to connect with some type of spiritual discipline to assist in regulating the energies of the Galactic Center.
- Purely scientific research has been conducted (see my Septile article on this website) with the Remote Viewers who worked for the government. It showed that, within a 2-hour window, when the earth was blocking the Galactic Center, psychic ability dramatically increased. The only possible reason for this was concluded that the "intense noice" coming from the Galactic Center was being blocked. You will know when this occurs as Orion's Belt will be directly overhead. An inexpensive starfinder will show this more clearly.
This "noise," I feel, is what sensitizes the individual.
- I posted the following previously but this is interesting for research:
Transiting Pluto conjunct Galactic Center:
Using Alphee Lavoie's Super Search and Star Trax Millennium by AIR Software, I've constructed the following table below of the days with an exact conjunction going back to just before the GC entered Sag. I hope this will help with your investigation.

Psychic ability increased when the Galactic Core and Earth were in a direct line, BECAUSE the Galactic Core was positioned such that the rays were going through earth, not because "noise" was being blocked. The intense electromagnetic energy was going through the mineral, crystal, water elements and magnifying these powerful signals. The entire reason 2012 is an issue is that these energies will not be blocked by anything and will hit us with full, unblocked force at time.
This is a important distinction. The ancient "Yugas" (Vedic cycles of history) change whenever these energies flow unobstructed (every 26,000 years or thereabouts)….many changes will occur, and nobody really knows what they will entail.
Best Wishes~

SYDNEY: Thank you so much for this excellent comment. I did not explain that this research was conducted in the 1990s so the research was not influenced by the current alignment. This is from the Spottiswoode research conducted by scientists, not astrologers, which makes this very interesting.
The increased Psi always occurred during a 2-hour period only. The 2-hour period shifted over time (with the shift of the positions of the stars in the sky) and it changed based upon location. Many reasons were examined and the only conclusion was that, in those specific locations, the "noise" from the GC was being blocked.
I have discussed this "noise" with astronomers with no knowledge of astrology and they concur that there is a tremendous amount of noise and static coming from black holes.
Pertaining to the GC alignment of which you were talking, a California astrologer showed that this GC area is very wide and that it will last a long time, much longer than astrologer predict with specific dates.
This is all very interesting and hindsight will probably give us a better view of events.

I'm trying to find information on what it means, or would mean to have your Midheaven at 28degrees Sagittarius if the Galactic Center is roughly 26 degrees Sagittarius? For some reason I think this important, yet I can't explain why??
I also have my Sun, Mercury, North Node, Neptune, and Mars all in Sagittarius all in the 9th house, if that matters. :)
Interestingly enough I had a work injury as well January of 2007 which has left me "hyper sensitive" to energy, I can't help but think all of these things are related.
Any insight you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
- Lynn Koiner Says:
May 9, 02:00 PM
VIRGINIA: I do not use the GC in my personal research. This point in the sky is a lot wider than the given degree (1950 = 26 Sag 10/2000 = 26 Sag 52). Linea Van Horn lectures on this approach.
I have found that planets other than the Sun at 26 Sagittarius may have more sensitivity to vibration but I am not sure this is really the GC. Most people who consult me are receptive to thesse energies anyway.
For me, I would want the alignment to be exact in longitude and latitude, an occultation in astrological and astronomical terms.
This would be a planet "around 26 degrees" longitutde and 29N42 latitude….but since the Moon is the only orbiting object that most frequently gets close to this degree, this combination is difficult to find. I believe that 28 N is as high up in the sky that any planet reaches (called Out of Bounds). So, I can only use 28N as the occultation point.
This is how I would research the GC…but I have not done this. I will keep an eye out in the future.
So, if there is a planet at 26 degrees (does not have to be exact), look at the latitude to see if there is really a true alignment.
The point 26 degrees is a long line running from North to South — a planet could be very low in the sky and another very high in the sky… and they would still be conjunct…but they would not be near each other.
For something like the Galactic Center, I would want a true alignment…but this is just my approach.

Hello to everyone!
Dear Lynn Koiner thank you so much for that article, I think it is one of the most serious research and analysis I read since today.I see that many people want to know about the effects of the vibration of the GC in relationship with their personal planets.Although it is something that has to do with the energies of the collective it does not mean one cannot feel the vibrations of it. But as far as I have understood the more highly educated is somebody about the world of the invisible and the more he is trying to deep-clean his self and wake-up in the most esoteric meaning the more he can achieve, not only with the GC but also with all his/her horoscope, which must always be a priority.I have also found out that as everything moves in the eternal circle of evolutions the GC moves 21' every 25 years or 42' minutes so in some centuries it will move on as a proof of the Sacred Law of evolution.I believe the 26 52' is just a tiny mark from this huge lets say point but the spot that this tiny mark is found has a tremendous energy vibration like the energies cross their ways there and make a huge gate.
I will try to give a meaning to this and in the end I will expose my personal chart details in relationship with the Galastic center.
We have to always remember that in esoteric astrology a man has to realize the energie flows of the Solar system in a coordination with the other 6 Solar systems energies and in Coordination with the Zodiac stars and some other big stars out of our system and the zodiacs as energy gates let's say briefly.
An inquisitive mind that will search with all the above as a help hand to just have a basic clue, will may reach great realizations in an esoteric way, that will have to do with the general evolution of the planet and humanity as vital being of this planet.I strongly believe that minds that can translate a high vibration into words have firstly realized their connection to the whole in some way and their ego serves as speaker for the soul and soul as speaker of the spirit.People who will just seek for answers for personal use will never come to a serious conclusion for obvious reasons.
I strongly believe that the so called mayas date can be interpreted with another way.I have to say here that Mayas wisdom is obvious to someone who can <<see>> but the problem here is interpretation.At the 21-12-2012 the date that marked as the end of the world sure something seems to be out of the ordinary.The Sun will conjuct the GC and will stand (Let's say) in front of the Earth.The Sun to our system is lets say the Leader and the energy giver to all the planetary lifes.The gate will open with no boundaries to hold the flow the Sun will come in contact to that flow and afterwards earth will be delivered all this vast energy full of vibrations as never before. This is like a ringing bell to the Aquarian age.This can be told due to the 4th ray power that is related to the GC and as 4th Ray has to do with Harmony through conflict it's like the start of all the big revolutions that will happen on our planet till we'll start to reach the neutral of Aquarius touch.Also 4th Ray is in a spermatic stadium in starting to flow again and being active and that cosmic event will propably strenthen the 4th Ray's effects and it's relationship with our planet.Also there is a relationship with Uranus and the GC and at this event he will square the Sun and Earth giving more emphasis to the volume that the energies will flow from Aries as a Ruler of the 7th Ray which is not yet active but soon will follow the 4th Ray.Propably in order to put in a sacred order all the revolutionary conclusions and struggles that will happen before.To conclude Neptune will trine the Earth and sextile the Sun from Pisces giving a touch of a transition from the Age of Pisces to the age of Aquarius symbolising the Christic period from the stage of evolution of Earth.
That is a small glimpse, it came to me as I read your article and all the questions beneath.
I have Saturn conjucting Uranus Conjucting GC opposing my Ascendant and Venus which is align the Ascendant.This is the basic clue.
Let us all evolve ;)

I think that this must be similar to energy passing through on the path of least resistance, exactly what it does here on E. Alignments must set up the path of least resistance but there has to be a charge to move through, and perhaps some other requirement that needs to be met; similar to our brain neurons passing a signal.
And even wierder, it might be similar to our brains in yet another way. 80% of the glucose the brain uses goes to rebuild a neuron that is in complete disarray after a signal passing. What if the the sending nova (other) has to use most of its energy to transmit this energy and the disarray is the nova?

Very interesting about the galactic center.
I have moon 28 sag in the 5th conj. part of fortune…
My 30 year old son seems to be some kind of starseed and i do feel a screaming … Both…feel and hear.
This sound has gotten so loud, this year i notice it drowns other sounds out…this causes me to go within …creative ideas are ever-abundant …this seems to be increasing now daily…coincidence? maybe.
Thanks for what you know and have shared.

My Midheaven is at 26 Sagittarius, which is the galactic center. (I was born 4/4/86 at 4:53am in NY, USA.)
I was wondering what the possible implications would be?
Is this considered a malefic influence?"------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I WAS BORN 4/4/86 AT 4:55AM IN New York, NY AS WELL!!
I came here from Google to find out what the galactic center could mean if it's conjunct my MC (just like you)
Would be awesome if we could chat and exchange what we have learned about our respective charts etc…

Hi everyone, this is a fascinating topic. I think there are several clues to understanding the GC. A lot of astrologers would advance their understanding of celestial bodies and features by actually looking at them instead of stressing over degrees. Astrology has become highly maths prone since we all got computers and most of what is consensual astrophysics is theoretical not direct observation. This is radical, but I believe with the incoming Ray 7, the electric universe model is the one we should be studying. In Bailey/DK's work, A Treatise on Cosmic Fire and Esoteric Astrology the essentially electric nature of the universe and its bodies is explained. This is all consistent with the new scientific electric universe model. So what of the galactic centre? Or any galactic centre? We are told there is a black hole at the GC, with light mysteriously escaping from it. But a black hole has never been actually seen. The concept of black holes is a calculation, not an actual observation. What actually is seen is an intensely energised field of plasma. This is created by massively intense cosmic electric currents called Birkeland currents which pinch together to create this field and a resultant galaxy. The spiral galaxy is the accretion around the field. The amazing thing is that this electric and plasma phenomena can be scaled and produced in a lab. So above so below. The stars at the GC can increase in brilliance in a very short space of time. The star SGR 1806-20 did this in 2004 sending out an intense wave of synchron radiation which, by the time it travelled outwards and interacted with Earth caused the Boxing Day tsunami. It is the most highly magnetised object ever observed. Other stars have increased rapidly in brilliance relatively recently. Donald Scott of the Thunderbolts project is an expert on the electric nature of stars and I think all astrologers should look at his very easy to comprehend work plus that of his colleagues at Thunderbolts. Their understanding of Venus as a comet and the mythology spawned from it is outstanding. I think our whole solar system and probably a few others are getting an upgrade from the GC now. I have found symbols pertaining to the galactic centre in very old Tarot cards. There is a möbius of intensely charged plasma at the GC photographed by the Herschel telescope and this same figure of 8 in horizontal form also appears in many tarot cards, from the Marseilles deck to the Rider Waite. Physicist Paul La Violette discovered the link between the history of our evolution and the GC told through the zodiac. His book Earth under fire explains this story although he had not when he wrote it, grasped the electric model and still refers to gravity waves. As I said earlier, Bailey's work Treatise on Cosmic fire describes the electric nature of the universe, it's systems and man perfectly. The new scientific work on this is tremendous. I have a feeling that if you have planets or specific points within a few degrees of the GC, as Lyn eruditely says, they will be sensitised and by the rays emanating from the GC. I think this is an evolutionary kick start. The actual rays coming from the GC are gamma or synchron radiation. Depending on the intensity the effects of gamma ray on DNA can destroy it or mutate it. There are a multitude of clues to this being presented in the crop circle phenomena by … Lets say friendly visitors! Putting all the pieces together, given that DNA is also conductive material and will absorb light we may be experiencing actual physical phenomena. As blood is a magnet, being full of iron, we can expect to be highly sensitive to increased magnetic fields and I would say increased gamma radiation from our increasingly sensitised sun. Has anyone noticed how bright the sun is compared to say 30 years ago? Sunlight used to be more golden but it is now bright white. I hope it's ok to mention it here but Thunderbolts project are doing incredible work with a new model of the universe which actually makes simple sense! When science confirms Alice Bailey's work its definitely time to take notice! I have my natal true node conjunct the GC so I suppose its fitting that I am so drawn to research it!

DREW (3-2013): If you read my article on the GC, you can see that this is never malefic. It can set a standard for the globalization of your spirituality but it is up to the individual to aspire to this — not all can.
Both Drew and Agnes might look at the Soul Purpose Triangle articles on this website to get some idea of this direction.
Both of you have a Grand Fire Trine (using Transpluto at 19 Leo) which is highly motivational, inspiring others.

This is an extremely interesting stream of conversation to me, because I have my Sun at 27'42 in Sagittarius square Mars conjunct Jupiter almost at the same degree in Pisces in opposition to Neptune at 25'30 i Virgo. Born on Dec. 20 1939 at 3:29 PM in Copenhagen, Denmark.
In my youth, this super sensitivity caused a lot of confusion but, after my mid forties, this calmed down to some extent and I could begin to bring it to good use. At 48 (in 1988), I started working as a professional astrologer, in 1996, I finished a course in clairvoyance -- and all ended up by learning Reiki Healing in 2001. This way I found my calling -- to help and heal my fellowmen/-women who are as confused as I was as a young person. Has this relevance to the GC as I see it, do you think?

Mar 20, 01:24 PM
LEENA (3-2013): This is exactly how the GC works when conjunct a personal planet.
With the other planets, this affects a Soul Group or a generation of people.
You should look at your Soul's Purpose Triangle for the healing ability – Gemini ASC – Venus in Capricorn in 8th: this is the World Teacher, sharing knowledge, and healing.
Saturn is the 3rd part of the triangle and this is struggle, struggling with a collective of people in the 11th, and working towards an Initiation.

This is really interesting, i can identify with extreme sensitivity and interest in astrology (i sometimes do readings for friends), clairvoyance and Reiki (i've done Kundalini Reiki). When i was born the doctors told my mom i'll be a very sensitive and irritable child, which was true:) even when being a baby, i hated when strangers touched me. I also started speaking and walking quite early.
Recently i developed a keen interest in alternative medicine and particularly shamanism. I meditate a lot too. However being a practical Capricorn, i don't really understand how i could convert my hobby into a business unless i was authentic in what i was doing. There're so many healers these days.

I wanted to ask whether or not many of the above posters are understanding that tropically, the GC is in the second degree of what they call Sag, and that any studies of theirs charts might have to account for this as well, and that older interpretations using the GC as a reference point would have probably been observed siderealy?
I also wanted to respond to some of the issues above, as I realize you may not be in a position where you would want to:
To Sydney: The earth is never not in a direct line with any point in the cosmos. We as individuals, however, live through times in the day when the ecliptic point directly over our heads (Gem. as pointed out) has us directly between it and the G.C., and the earth is therfore directly between us and the G.C.
Also, the concept of the Ages, or Yugas, in Vedic philosophy is based on the precession of the equinox, and there are energies that accompany it.
Some of the posters mention "Mayan predictions" and 2012. 2012 had no special significance to the Mayans other than as a date for a cycle turnover. Can anybody say what planetary or star cycle is involved? They simply didn't feel the need to make a calendar that ran any further than several centuries into the future, or that was the archeologists thought at the time the particular Mayan calendar that ended in our 2012 was found. That was in the '90s I believe. Since then, technology improved archaeological surveys and allowed more Mayan excavation discoveries, including a calendar or two that runs much further into their future than 2012. So now we have more that go beyond 2012 than don't, evidently. The earlier known calendar that the (what's the title?) industry- piggybacking onto astrology as it does- made use of was "out of date" before the 2012 "spiritual rebirth phenomena" mini-industry hit full market swing. Not that we heard much about it, that would be about as popular as pointing out that Sag A* moves! As listed above in your SagA* ephemerisis.
It's hard for me to slow down and center. I actually had to stop attending my local astro teacher's classes because it was hard to listen to an astro professional have 2-3 hour discussions attempting to turn anything that came up, especially "2012", into some profound cause for spinning out into the stratosphere of new age buzzwords like untied balloons, with gasps and applause going to the giftest of gab that could draw the longest syllogisms via word association. Many charts were looked at for the influence of the G.C. Never once did I hear a reference to the role sidereal astro played in the lead up to tropical astro, or the role that the politics of Roman Christain philosophy played in the birth of tropical astro. Anywho, I learned a few things of value from your GC observations, I wanted to say thanks, and I paid attention to your mini list of the sidereal G.C.

I wanted to comment on Sydney's statement about the Vedic Yugas. They do not change every 26,000 years. This is more Mayan. The current Yuga we are in still has over 400,000 years to go. Humanity is Much Much older than the established orders of power want us to believe. That being said, I have felt the psychic intensity since 2012 and have noticed that everyone around me is either making quantum leaps or going crazy, so I definitely believe what you are saying about the Galactic Center. Anyway, maybe the whole thing about Christ, Kalki, Guetzalcoatl, coming back to save humanity from the Darkness of this Yuga will be an interception so that we do not have to suffer through the entire several hundred thousand years. Maybe that was Christ taking away the collective humanity's karmas. Maybe Christ did his alchemy on the crucifix for the sake of making this Yuga shorter, or "saving" those whose consciousness is fit for evacuation. I don't have all the answers, but the Yugas are definitely more that 26,000 years and the Galactic Center is definitely having an effect! I wonder what this means for babies born to these frequencies…

I am responding to the above entry. My Sun is first degree Sag & my Venus is second degree Sag. I'm a portrait artist and I include Auras in color around the individuals I paint. I have also see auras brightly around Rembrandt paintings in a museum, and most beautifully around a 30 member choir, at a Unitarian Universalist Church.
I've compared the Auras in my paintings, to Kirlian photographs of the same subject, and the colors are identical; although the photographic image is generally less vibrant.
As many of you probably know Kirlian Photography was accidentally discovered in 1939 by Semyon Kirlian, noting that if a photographic plate is connected to a high-voltage source an image is produced on the electronic plate that shows a vivid electrical field. (Look it up on Wikipedia.)
I also see vivid flowing organic "liquid crystal". Sometimes it appears to be glowing from within, or reflecting light (energy) circulating around people, animals, plants, gems, etc. Has anyone else had experiences with the concept of liquid crystal?
As far as interpreting the meaning of the colors, I have my own interpretations, and from a vivid ultraviolet to a brilliant white transforming into a beautiful gold, it's all visible, flowing and can be articulated. I believe that like vivid dreams or trance interpretations, everyone will embrace their own meanings to various colors.
In my experience I believe that we al have this acute visual ability, and I have taught many. Centering into one's higher self, and meditation, enhances the experience. And there are simple techniques to test the experience, showing that it not simply a visual hallucination.
I have Neptune and Saturn conjunct my ascendent in Libra, which may help explain why seeing the best and highest (Spirit, etheric, or auric) in others, and creating an inspiring timeless oil painting portrait is a passion of mine.
Wishing the best to everyone, Michael

Mars was conjunct the GC this week of Oct 20th to Oct 24, 2014, approx. and my sun is 26 degrees sagittarius. Infrequently in my life metal things have bent spontaneously. On Wednesday of this week the stem of a 24 inch lamp that I moved to another area bent like it had melted. Impossible to bend it back to being straight. So I was looking around on the internet about the GC and spoon bending by Uri Geller. I found that Uri Geller is sun 27 degrees sag. But I still don't know why that stem melted in a matter of seconds.

Thank you very much to all of you who have posted in this thread. It is really touching when people take time from their very busy lives to bring in explanations, opinions and suggestions that help others.
The central focus in the posts above have been regarding planets in conjunction with GC. However, i wonder if GC influences other planets through aspects that are not conjunctions. I was born September.22.1968 at 6:00 PM in Rio de Janeiro, RJ – Brazil.
This is a new completely new phase in my life. Researching on my Natal Neptune/Scorpio/8th – the most elevated planet in my chart (during a conjunct transit of Saturn) , i found about GC. It is in a trine with my Mars/Virgo/5th (Ruler of my chart) and Saturn/Aries/1st (co-rulers of my chart).
Now, actually, even though Neptune is the most elevated planet in my chart, GC is the most elevated sidereal body in my chart.
Researching further, i found out that My Sun/Uranus/Virgo/6th is within 1 degree from the Super Galaxy Center.
These seem to be tow pretty big discoveries. My head has been spinning around these findings. However, i still don't know what to make of them.
One thing i can say for sure is: All my life i have felt that i have been sent to Earth as an Alien agent with a specific mission. However, this mission is to be revealed just at the right time, at the time when it is to be fulfilled. I have been longing for it since i was born.
Thank you again for any clarification, opinion or suggestion any of you can bring. :-)

CHIRON (11-2014): Many people who have incarnated at this time feel like Aliens – that they should have gone to Arcturus and not planet Earth. This is pronounced when Chiron is strong in the chart.
Yods and Inconjuncts (Saturn is Apex of Yod) involving the 8th House are very susceptible to multi-dimensional phenomena.
I do not use these Centers in my interpretations but they do generate a sensitiveness. Many times, as in your own chart, the issue is generational.

Consensus among astrologers suggests that the Galactic Center has a sensitizing influence on a factor located at or near that celestial point.
My experience suggests that this location in the sky does indeed imbue a factor located in its vicinity with special qualities empowering that factor with acute sensitivity and good fortune. The sensitivity is subtle and the perception it facilitates can be used for personal and collective benefit.
In one client's case, with natal Mars conjunct the Galactic Center, I have the impression that, as a boxer, he anticipates his opponent's moves, style and tricks in advance because of his heightened intuitive sensitivity to the subtle winds moving in his opponent's chakras, channels and nadis and any distortion or obstruction that may exist within them. Of course, I could be wrong but that's my impression. I also perceive that this sensitivity operates on a day-to-day basis in his interactions and dealings with others in different situations. He is the Mayor of the town in which I reside.
I have my Part of Fortune at this GC location in my Second House, in exact grand trine with my Moon and Part of Spirit, and it definitely seems to work in my favor. I'm adept at managing my resources, irrespective of whether these are large or small, and am never without what I need from moment to moment. I may be sitting at the side of a road and need a piece of wire to fix a clasp on my rucksack; I look around and there is exactly the right sized piece of wire within reach without even having to move from my seat. It can be quite uncanny but it always happens. At another level, when I need money (I mean 'need', not just 'want') it comes to me, in so many different ways. Basically, with this placement of the Part of Fortune, throughout my life I have never been without what I need to achieve beneficial goals. Undoubtedly, something is happening here.

I'm not sure how to articulate how this feels for me, but I'm definitely being drawn or pulled in another direction. Sometimes I do feel like an alien!
Astrology is a great passion and I'm currently taking a class and have read many books. It's gotten to the point where I just want to release so many things that I feel are holding me back, yet I think the timing is just not yet here. Perhaps this upcoming transit of Saturn in Sagittarius will reveal the time!

Any Station natal planet is going to be very powerful in the chart.
As I have said in many posts, I do not place a lot of importance on the GC, although it can produce a hyper-sensitivity with any planet that it conjuncts.

If you look at the Jewish State's birth chart, you will see Jupiter conjunct the galactic center at 27 sag. Mars is in leo, closely trine that point.
'In 1990, when I first traveled to visit astrologers in Eastern Europe, the founder of the Czech astrological Society, Pavel Turnovsky, showed me a historical timeline whereby the Jewish Nation was always affected by the Galactic Center changing degrees. It entered 26 degrees in the late 1930s when Hitler rose to power. It will enter 27 degrees in the Summer 2011.'

KAREN (5-2016): Rarely do readers respond to other readers – although there were some responses a couple of years ago. It is rare.
You need to read the responses already given here for your answer. All the GC does is make the Neptune more sensitive – and, in the 12th conjunct Neptune, it is highly empathetic (see Empath article on this website) and sensitive to unseen realities and vibrations. One needs to protect one's self or use the sensitivities in a positive way (rather than be a victim of the sensitivities).

I have natal Venus 25 deg & 16 min in 12th house Sagittarius…that would make it conjunct the Galactic Center.
For the first 45 years of my life, I had trouble relating to men. I felt that I was unlike other humans in my needs and desires. Recently, after Pluto conjuncted my Ascendant, I finally feel that I am human and able to relate to others when it comes to desires and values. I believe that my progressed Venus in in Pisces and so I empathize a lot more with others now.

REKHA (6-2016): Thank you for posting your experience. Pluto crossing the ASC is very empowering. It presses upon our Solar Plexus so that emotions begin to surface and we eventually become more clear about how we feel and what we want.
The progressed Venus is our evolving need for love and appreciation. There is a shift from the detached Aquarius to the empathetic and creative Pisces.

HONOLULU (AP) - The state Department of Agriculture said a live snake was found on a sidewalk in Honolulu's Chinatown.
A pedestrian found the snake Tuesday morning on a sidewalk in front of an apartment complex. The snake was turned over to police, which notified the agriculture department.
Agriculture inspectors were dispatched to pick up the snake, which officials identified as a nonvenomous rainbow boa constrictor. It is 2 1/2 feet long.
Snakes are illegal in Hawaii because they have no natural predators in the islands and can wreak havoc on the state's environment.
The state's amnesty program allows illegal animals to be turned in with immunity from prosecution.

GRAND RAPIDS – The trial of Lauraetta Carey came to a screeching halt before it began when an expert witness was found to be unavailable Tuesday.
A defense expert came down with an illness and is in the hospital.
The tentative plan is to start the trial with jury selection beginning Monday – assuming the expert recovers in time.
Carey is accused of causing the death of her boyfriend and father of her children when, in a jealous rage, she pursued Samuel Clark and his female companion down 28th Street SW in Wyoming at speeds of more than 100 mph before he crashed into a house.
Clark's car caught on fire and he died at the scene.
Carey remains free on bond.

MUSKEGON — When Renee Westcomb took a job as a gas station clerk in Muskegon a couple months ago, she knew there were risks. Now, after staring down the barrel of a gun, she's decided never to take those risks again, for herself and family.
"I always had it in the back of my head that it could happen. I just didn't think it would happen to me," said the 29-year-old Muskegon-area woman who was working at the Marathon Express Lane Sunday when it was robbed by a pistol-toting, masked man.
The gas station at 812 W. Laketon was robbed around 11:30 p.m. when Westcomb was finishing her shift and another store employee was helping her with closing duties. The station closes at midnight. It's one of seven area businesses that have been robbed or suspects attempted to rob at gunpoint in the past several weeks.
Westcomb believes the suspect had a plan before he entered the store Sunday night.
"We believe that he was watching from outside because as soon as the other clerk walked to the back room, I had walked over to our safe and was going to drop money in it. The next thing I know there is a gun over the counter and someone is saying, 'Give me the money. Just give me the money!,'" she said.
Westcomb fumbled with the safe, trying to hand over the money she could. The other register hadn't been emptied yet, and she hoped he would remain calm long enough for her to hand him the cash.
"I said, 'There's money in that one over there. I'll give it to you,'" she said.
Around that time, the other employee walked out of the back room with the mop bucket.
"He pointed the gun at her and then at me and said, 'Give me the Newports (cigarettes).' I could tell he was getting nervous because he was dropping everything," Westcomb said.
She said she offered him a bag in an effort to "just get him out of there."
Before he fled out the door, the suspect turned to Westcomb and quietly said, 'I'm really sorry. I'm just trying to raise my family.'"
Westcomb said she told her manager that she couldn't work there anymore. The incident — which lasted about five minutes — was just too harrowing, she said.
"It was scary. When I couldn't get the register open, I didn't know if he'd believe me," Westcomb said.
Westcomb said she thought of her children immediately when the suspect pointed the gun at her.
"That was the first thing that went through my mind was my kids, and that my husband would have to raise the kids by himself," she said.
The suspect is described as a black male about 5 feet 10 inches tall wearing a dark sweatshirt, dark pants and a dark hat, police said.
Investigators are trying to determine if that incident is connected to the other six armed robberies that have occurred in the county recently.
The string of robberies started in Muskegon on Nov. 30 when the Wesco on Laketon Avenue was robbed by masked, armed subjects. On Dec. 15, the Shell Mart at 275 W. Muskegon in the city was robbed by two suspects, one armed, and several days later, on Dec. 20, someone tried to rob the Cargo Food and Fuel, 5536 Holton, but didn't get away with any money.
Police believe the Cargo incident could be connected to an armed robbery that occurred at Cookies Mini-Mart, 7180 E. Apple, around 9:40 p.m. Dec. 30, police said.
The robberies continued on Dec. 28 when the North
Muskegon Shell Mart, 610 Whitehall, was hit by two masked, armed
men, and on Jan. 4 the Norton Shores Family Dollar, 4218 Grand Haven,
was targeted by masked, armed robbers.
The suspects in the Norton Shores incident didn't make off with any cash because the cash register locked when one of the suspects tried to open it, police had said.
In that incident, the female cashier didn't immediately try to hand the suspects the cash they demanded and she was pistol-whipped, police said.
All the robberies remained unsolved as of Monday.
Anyone with information is asked to call Silent Observer at 72-CRIME or Muskegon Police at 724-6750.

Guideline: Most healthy women can skip pelvic exam
WASHINGTON -- No more dreaded pelvic exam? New guidelines say most healthy women can skip the yearly ritual.
Routine pelvic exams don't benefit women who have no symptoms of disease and who aren't pregnant, and they can cause harm, the American College of Physicians said Monday as it recommended that doctors quit using them as a screening tool.
Scientific evidence "just doesn't support the benefit of having a pelvic exam every year," said guideline co-author Dr. Linda Humphrey, of the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Oregon Health & Science University.
A different doctors' group disagrees. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists still recommends yearly pelvic exams.

Key Questions and Comments
- (04:14) It can take a long time to put together a good lesson. Could we give people an idea of what it takes to put that kind of curriculum together for a class session?
- (07:25) For the facilitator to be really familiar with the tool--in this case, Minecraft--is also really important...There's no substitute for experience with the game itself.
- (14:15) Today, we did a cobblestone factory and we talked about multiplication. And the kids will earn coins through those lessons, come back, and use that to spend money--working within an economy in the game--to "buy" their house...
- (15:00) [Minecraft] is like a virtual space where I can get students to used to exploring things in a different way. Whether it's math concepts or science concepts or performing proper experiments.
- (18:03) What are the components of an engaging Minecraft lesson? What is it about the way you design the class that engages the kids, not just in playing but learning the content that you're trying to deliver?
- (19:36) My kids want that immersive experience: they don't want to be told they're in Egypt--they want to feel they're in Egypt, they want to see that they're in Egypt...So, these are some of the components that I find really important: the game mechanics and the immersiveness of the environment.
- (21:08) Is there anything about using Minecraft that's changed the way you teach or changed the way you've thought about teaching?
- (24:01) Where do you fall on those two continuums? Is there value in 'just free play'? Is there value in scripted lessons? And how do you balance those?
- (27:48) I think it is absolutely critical that we get these guys in there, let them immerse in this world, and let that creativity come out. Because, frankly...we've tested that creativity out of kids. I see it as my job to get it back, and I think Minecraft is way ahead of many other ways to do that.
- (30:06) Where do you think Minecraft is going to be in, say, 5-10 years? Is Minecraft a once-in-a-generation tool that we can use in learning environments? Or are we at the point where: (A) teachers are literate & fluent enough in games to turn them into something you can use in the classroom? (B) Are the tools themselves flexible enough to build the kind of environments you need for effective education?
- (32:40) Let's forget about schools for a minute. I talk to parents and they all recognize that there's something different going on when their kid plays Minecraft as opposed to other video games. There's this thought process that goes on of solving problems and being self-reliant and figuring out new skills.
- (37:37) Are there mods that you use in your teaching that make your job easier? Are there mods that you'd like people to write?
- (41:38) If there's specific content that you want to teach and it's not out there, all you've got to do is find some like-minded people and you can probably make it happen.
- (44:49) Obviously, Minecraft is not only suited to one or two types of disciplines. What is it about Minecraft that you can use it in so many different ways, from particle physics to ancient history to modeling a cell? Is it easier to use Minecraft for certain subjects, or is it up to the teacher's imagination?
- (51:44) What is it about Minecraft that gives you the ability to collaborate on larger projects? What lese can we do with Minecraft outside of the classroom to facilitate these community/social projects?
- (57:03) The world would be a better place if we just all played more. And I really want to be able to get my kids to think that, too, and join in.
- (58:33) There is no harm in giving this a go. The key part is you do it where you're comfortable...reflect on what happens...there's no right way to do this.

I might be halfway up the well. OR maybe I'm just optimistic this morning. :)
awesome surprise of the day: going through an old box of cool clothes labeled "skinny clothes" and finding that they all fit comfortably. I guess I've lost a little weight. still toying around with the idea of joining a martial arts gym; maybe that will be last on my list of errands today. i need a little muscle to replace the absent fat.
Excellent! to all of the above.
Thirded! (is that even a word?)
And... Fourthed! :p
I'm 'between' sizes myself again... some stuff is bag assing and giving me too much 'ball room' (not the most attractive look in ladies denim) and others are still too snug to be comfy.
... But going down is always good!;)
(I do LOVE a good double entendre!)
uhm, I'll take a fifth!
Congrats on the "downsizing" in the wardrobe department!
I do love going down.
oy, now that i'm single, i have to watch myself! people are going to get the wrong idea! ;) yeah, the skinny jeans I bought are a little loose now. and my bras don't fit. at one point in time, I couldn't see my belly button if i looked straight down, but now i can. :( I did buy a cute black denim pair of jeans which NEVER would have fit me previously. very hawt (and $10)! I can also see some upper ab definition.
lol@ball room.
last final tomorrow!! woohoo!

Lord of the Rings: Fangornbyjthserra©
The story is al fictional parody - it's not true, nor is it approved of by the celebrities named in the stories. Authors write these fictitious stories about famous people for the same reason that Larry Flynt made fun of Jerry Falwell, because they can. The Supreme Court of the United States, the country where this site is located, has ruled that parodies involving famous people are perfectly and totally legal under the United States Constitution. The specific case law on this was decided in the case of "Hustler Magazine, Inc. et al. v. Jerry Falwell" in 1988. No harm is intended toward the celebrities featured in these stories, but they are public figures and in being so, they must accept that they are fair target for parodies by the public. We believe in the first amendment, and more broadly, in the basic principle of free speech and this section may push the boundaries of that principle, but the United States Supreme Court has approved of this type of material. We believe that the Supreme Court was correct in their decision.

It was in the annals of ancient time, millennia before the Great War, long before Rivendale or the Shire, before the days of Biblo Baggins, even before Gandalf when the Ents began their great expansion. During this wild time there were many changes, great shifts in the earth, Mount Doom erupted for the first time and covered the sky in its foul dust.
From this darkness arose a leader, one who could lead his people back to the sun. This leader, called Fangorn first convinced the Ents they could and should migrate. At first they called him nuts, but with great determination he showed them all. Still a young ent in those days, he stood about ten feet tall, his trunk was a good eighteen inches and he spanned nearly twelve feet. Though young, he spoke with a knowledge that few had seen before and then, when he lifted his roots and stepped, the group was silent.
The silence lasted several days until finally, the whispers began, "Did you see that?" "He moved!" "The most amazing thing..."
In the months that followed he took another step, and then another. Within the year he had walked a circle around the group and had several young friends moving too. It took some time, but he finally convinced the elders that, although it would be hard, if they were to survive they had to move to the sunlight.
The migration took the Ents many, many miles from the valley of Mount Doom. It took decades, but they finally arrived in the sun. The trip took its toll, many Ents either died or were simply left behind, but the strongest survived.
Realizing if the Ents were to survive, even in the sun, they needed to multiply. Many of the elders were too old, so Fangorn and several companions began to make seed. For Ents, this was a time consuming, but enjoyable task. Finding an attractive sapling of about ten years of age (Literotica readers should note that the relative maturity of Ents are very different from humans and that an ent of ten years is precisely the equivalent of an eighteen and a half year old human) and began making seed with her.
It was a great honor for this sapling to be selected by such an ent as Fangorn and her sisters and companions all watched the union with intense interest. In fact, the union was so spectacular that pretty much everyone watched. Nothing perverted mind you, that was just the way of the Ents.
Fangorn could always hold wood for great lengths of time, so he was a natural for making beautiful seed. With this beautiful sapling, he was incredibly aroused, so he moved quickly. The first month he caressed her with his leaves and tiny branches, gently running branches through her leaves, teasing her nippled knobs, kneading her firm bark.
He touched her as she swayed rhythmically, slowly exposing her roots to him. They entwined, bare root against bare root, his wood sliding over her, their dampness mingling until she began to bud. He too began to swell in the intensity of their seed making.
He'd whisper her name, "Salgorn," and she would sway in the breeze, her leaves trembling in anticipation.
In the months that followed, their passionate act intensified and her buds opened, in all their wet, pink glory. Fangorn's pistil stood firm and hard at the sight of her widespread petals and he moaned at the softness of her flowers.
So exquisite was his motion that her wetness glistened all over her and in a sudden week her liquid flow in vascular delight and she throbbed as she came, shedding bark with each pulse. Her orgasm lasted two weeks, a full week longer than she had ever experienced one before.
The sight and sensation of this beautiful sapling coming at his touch drove Fangorn wild and within only half a week, his trunk flowed with his juice and he came, spraying his white pollen all over Salgorn for days. In fact, his explosion was so incredibly intense that his pollen no only sprayed Salgorn, but three of her sisters and seven friends. The light breezes picked up the come and carried to many others.
With tender caresses and whispered nothings, Fangorn and Salgorn slowly untwined, lingering a bit in each other, but eventually, after several months separating. Their spectacle inspired others to unite, but it was Fangorn's pollen that brought the most fruit and in the years to follow, a strong and virile set of offspring.
Salgorn went on to other lovers, but none could ever compare to Fangorn at making seed. Fangorn also tried with others, but like Salgorn, he never could reach that ultimate high that he reached with her. In the centuries to come, Fangorn became known as Treebeard, because of the proud moss beard he wore, Celeborn called him the elder and all knew him as the greatest leader the Ents ever had, but that is another story.

A Life Not in Vain
Alice Hawthorne Died in the Bombing at Atlanta's Centennial Olympics, Leaving Behind Not Simply Anger but a Living Legacy of Abundant Goodwill
Every two years the Olympic Games mints a new set of heroes, but Hawthorne, who was killed by a pipe bomb that rocked Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park in the early hours of July 27, stands alone. She was neither a world-class athlete nor even a ticket-holder to any of the sold-out sporting events. She was simply drawn to Atlanta to be there. An activist and bridge builder in her racially mixed community of 98,000, she wanted no more than to bask briefly in the spirit of cheerful harmony embodied by the Olympics. Now her place in the history of the Games has been indelibly stamped by the act of criminal cowardice that took her life (see page 43). "There was no way she was not going up to those Olympics," says her friend Lois Crumbley softly. "I just can't believe she's not coming back."
Hawthorne and Fallon had been in Atlanta only a short time before they headed to a free, open-air concert by Jack Mack and the Heart Attack, a rhythm-and-blues band with many fans in Georgia—among them Fallon, an outgoing ninth grader who had plans to attend Albany's Westover High School in the fall. Mother and daughter were among a dancing throng of thousands when, at 1:25 a.m., a pipe bomb blast shattered the gaiety. Deadly shrapnel felled Hawthorne while injuring Fallon and 110 others. (Melih Uzunyol, 40, a cameraman for Turkish TV, died of a heart attack while rushing to videotape the blast's aftermath.) Osteopath John Vogel, 34, happened to be in the park after attending a track and field event. He grabbed a flashlight from a policeman and began aiding the wounded. When he found Hawthorne, with grave head injuries, lying in a puddle of blood, her pulse was barely perceptible. "It was very obvious she was the most seriously injured [victim] I had seen," says Vogel. Aided by a nurse, he tried CPR, but to no avail. Hawthorne was pronounced dead on arrival at Grady Memorial Hospital.
Fallon, meanwhile, had suffered a lacerated right arm and thigh and had broken a finger, apparently when the blast knocked her to the ground. After being treated at nearby Georgia Baptist Medical Center (and a quick visit with members of the U.S. men's basketball Dream Team at Atlanta's Omni Hotel), she checked out on July 30. "She's doing fine," says her father, John Stubbs, 43, a Masonite factory worker. On August 3, politicians, athletes and friends were scheduled to join Fallon and her family to pay tribute to Hawthorne at a service in Atlanta.
If there is one thing Hawthorne's neighbors already miss, it is the cheerful good nature they had come to rely on. "I think I never saw her without a smile, never saw her fuss," says her boss, TCI cable's Albany office general manager Jim Walker. Born and raised in the Atlanta suburb of Douglasville, Hawthorne moved to Albany in 1970 to attend predominantly African-American Albany State College (now University), where she studied, with several long interruptions, until she earned a marketing degree in 1994. According to her brother-in-law Thomas Hawthorne, Alice met her husband, municipal economic development manager John Hawthorne Jr., now 47, as a college student, and they were married in 1987. (Alice and Stubbs ended their 10-year marriage in 1984. From a previous relationship, Alice had an older daughter, Adoria Minor, 22, an Albany public safety dispatcher.)
Alice Hawthorne had a zest for life—and she shared it. An active parent and band booster at Fallon's school—"She came when you called, and she came when you didn't call," says principal Holly Thursby—she helped stage an annual high school public-speaking contest. As the unofficial social chairwoman of American Legion Post 512, she organized Easter egg hunts, Halloween games to get kids off the streets and (as an ardent football fan) Super Bowl parties. "It's hard to think of the Super Bowl without Alice," says Post senior vice commander Jeremiah Paschal.
In 1993, Hawthorne opened Fallon's Hot Dog & Ice Cream Parlor (named for her daughter), fulfilling her longtime dream of owning a business. "One time she tasted some of my barbecue at a cookout, and one thing led to another," says Curtis Kennedy, managing partner of Fallon's. At the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce, friends say, Hawthorne worked hard to help others, especially African-Americans, launch their own businesses. She even waived the first six months' rent so a young hairdresser could open a salon in a shopping center the Hawthornes own on the edge of downtown Albany. "She felt we all needed to move forward together," says Chamber of Commerce president Jones Hooks. "We've come a long way because of people like Alice."

As a goodwill ambassador for the Chamber, she tirelessly organized and publicized the running of the Olympic torch through Albany, on its way from Greece to the Games in Atlanta.
