Soul and The Great Attractor Starseeds

We are approaching the strawberry full moon in Sagittarius which will conjunct the Great Attractor in the next few days, and I thought it would be nice to pay tribute to The Great Attractor!

Well, first of all, let me introduce you to the Great Attractor!

«At a distance of some 65 Mega-parsecs away, in the general direction of Centaurus, a massive galactic anomaly quietly does its work. This enigma slowly sips upon a liquid-like flow of galaxies drawing them into its huge gravitational grip, following in a river-like stream at an astonishing 600 km/sec. This migration of galactic matter includes the extensive Virgo Cluster, the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster, other groups and clusters and the Local Group - that would be us and our 30 plus galactic companions. For approximately 60 Mega-parsecs both upstream and downstream from us in this river, everything heads in the direction of the galactic cluster, Abell 3627. This astrophysical enigma is both huge and perplexing - thus, its unofficial, official namesake: The Great Attractor!

What the Great Attractor is remains a mystery. It clearly reveals relativistic characteristics - those of warping time and space while bending light with its massive gravity. But it lacks the event horizon required for it to be a black hole. It shows strong retreat tendencies through its extreme red shift. Contradictorily, it has a huge ultraviolet contingent, just outside the range of blue to violet light. The variability of visible light shows in its notably broad absorption beams».

In the scope of my work as a galactic astrologer, I have noticed a particular astrological pattern in the galactic charts of people with planets or points in conjunction or opposition with the Great Attractor, especially those who were born in mid-June and mid-December, making their natal Sun in opposition or conjunction with the Great Attractor. Those with North node or Ascendant in the middle degrees of Sagittarius can share the same energy blueprint too. Combining with their galactic history, I have come to a subjective conclusion that this powerful place in space serves as an interdimensional portal where souls can go back and forth through the chasms of space and time. Time-travelers, as we call them. For the lack of better terms, I shall call them The Great Attractor Starseeds.

The Great Attractor Starseeds oftentimes have a chatty mind. It’s like being ADHD in their heads, with thoughts and inspirations constantly flowing in and at times it can be quite overwhelming because priorities are hard to made. They can ruminate on a specific situation for a very long time, putting their heart and soul into imagining their multiple different reactions to the same situation and how different the outcome would be each time. With the larger-than-life Sagittarius attitude, they can be extremely positive and hopeful, even when people around them cannot get it. The mind is a beautiful place and they can kind of live in their minds without complaining. Their brains are so powerful that they are known to be master manifestors!

The animated movie Soul (2020) really reminds me of The Great Attractor Starseeds.

The story is about Joe Gardner, a middle school music teacher with a long-held dream of becoming a successful jazz pianist, leads a humble and somewhat unexciting, monotonous life, with not much happening aside from his passion of music. Just when he was offered the chance to become a pro, he was caught up in an accident which would make him realize he had a soul. What would he do to have his second chance, and how would he make his life a truly happy one?

The movie has a strong Sagittarius vibe. It’s an animated movie, so naturally it targets children. However, the plot is full of wisdom and philosophical quotes. There is happiness and melancholy, sadness and humour, regret and determination, and there is practicality and ambition. Joe’s struggle to meet ends while juggling his part-time music teaching classes and sporadic jazz shows is relatable. Most people do not have the luxury of their dream jobs, so they have a regular job to pay the bills, and a few will try to make time for a hustle, hoping that one day they would be able to live their dreams. Sometimes the time and effort needed are so great that people would prefer staying in the comfort zone, even if it means their dreams will fade eventually, and they might end up living their life without never chasing after what they really desire.

There was a scene that struck me like a lightning to the head. Joe finally had a successful show at his revered jazz club and went home, he realized nothing in his life changed. In fact, he didn’t change a bit. It’s like the sour taste in your mouth after a long marathon, during which you kept telling yourself it would be magnificent to be on the finish line, but in fact the overwhelming joy and heartfelt pride only last a short while before everything returns to normal. Joe’s journey in the Great Before and the Great Beyond leaves many questions: What is the meaning of life? How can we define happiness? How would we live our lives if we knew there was always a spiritual team backing us the whole time? What would we do differently if we knew the time we have on Earth? Would we continue wasting time to the things that matter little to our hearts?

This movie has a happy ending, mind you, so please go ahead and watch it if you haven’t already!

Near the end of the movie, we see the souls waiting around a huge translucent ring of light hanging on the vast blackness in space, with the magnificent Earth planet in view. One by one, the thoroughly prepared and joyful souls leaped in projectile motion toward the Earth, where they would join the body and the family they need for the next lessons. There is no need to fear. Leap. Things will be figured out along the way.

I feel that this strawberry full Moon - the Great Attractor full moon is a very potent moment in time to meditate on how you would like to live your life differently. Picture your dream life, where you can live to the fullest, not wasting a minute for trivial non-sense, where the flame of your soul can burn fiercely and fuel you toward noble destination. It can be a wonderful opportunity to hang out with your past selves and your future selves, as linear time doesn’t exist in the Great Attractor. You can be this, you can be that, you can be a butterfly! Life is full of beautiful things and you are one of that!
