Symbolic meaning of the Ophiuchus explosion


Largest explosion since the Big Bang


NASA and others have published evidence for the biggest explosion seen in the Universe since the MS 0735+74 explosion. This extremely powerful eruption occurred in the Ophiuchus Supercluster, which is located about 390 million light years from Earth. A paper describing these results appears online on February 27 in The Astrophysical Journal. This explosion was caused by a super massive black hole spraying out jets of extremely active particles. The lead author of this paper is Simona Giancintucci (Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiuchus_Supercluster_explosion

The worldview underlying astrology sees all of reality as symbolic in nature. To the symbolist, the heavenly bodies are threads within a great tapestry of affinities and correspondences. Astrologers believe that when our attention is drawn by a cosmic phenomena, the object involved has a special meaning for us at several levels.

The  explosion of a Deep Space Object symbolically represents the collapse of the little ego, the attenuation of one's faulty psychology.  But first and foremost, the failure of the ego to support the person in the physical realm must precede the evolutionary step. Once ego has been fully utilized and fails, the individual listens to urges of spirit. The soul urge now speaking makes little sense in the pragmatic realm. The person now contradicts most of what was once infinitely important. The luxury vehicle is traded in for a utility vehicle.  The good job falls to the creative urges once latent in the being. Relationships of object affection give way to relationships of soulful urges.  The pre-explosion mass loss symbolically represents the shedding of unnecessary defenses, attachments or "baggage." This shedding propagates an acceleration and a passionate heating up for the pursuit of one's purpose. Now it's showtime! Suddenly, virtually instantly, in all one's splendor, everything about the core of one's being burst forth, displayed with peacock-like pride as soon as life’s unnecessary matter gets shed [1].

 The explosion in Ophiuchus took place at the ecliptic longitude of [18sa] conjunct the star Sabik. About this star Nick Fiorenza writes:

Sabik, on the loins of Ophiuchus, closely conjoins Ras Algethi, the Head of Hercules. Sabik embodies the mysteries (knowledge) of the transmutational power of the alchemical process--the mixing of the primal and carnal forces in our lives as well as to the fundamental elements found in nature, such as botanically-derived elements applied in medicines. Sabik embodies the secrets of wholistic medicine. In contrast to allopathic medicine, which denies the emotional role of dis-ease and dis-cord in our lives and treats symptoms with synthetic chemicals that merely cause more chronic conditions to occur, a negative degenerating spiral downward; wholistic medicine honors all aspects of the body as an intimate and integral system. To address the cause of disease and discord rather than merely treating symptoms we must treate ourselves as a whole beings comprise of a soul with its own patterns, as well as the mental, emotional and physical aspects of self--aspects of self that are not exclusive but are one living integrated system.

Many people have learned to suppress emotions, and this is not exclusive to allopathic medicine but is based in our established cultural ways of life passed on by our upbringing. Allopathic medicine is but a extension of this cultural mentality, that is why is sells. Learning to reveal and embrace our emotions is the key to true healing, as this is most often where the blocked energy lies that causes disease. Suppressed e-motion is the resistance to the "motion of experience" in our lives. Many people live in a mental mode and/or a physical mode, obsessed with changing mental beliefs and patterns of thought to over come discord; or conversely, obsessed with extreme physical exercise or nutrition alone to do so, only to find the same discord and disease in their lives. The key overlooked lies between these two aspects of self--unlocking emotion, where the tension, the resistance to life is held.

The suppression of emotion further extends to the denial of our primal and sexual desires, compounded by the zillions of reinforcing beliefs that isolate this innate beautiful sacred experience of carnal intimacy as being wrong--not spiritual, not of Love, not of God. [2]



The explosion in Ophiuchus, the medicine man or the healer is pointing to the need to shed our subservience to outer rules of conduct that keep us bound and unable to express our soul being. To understand how the timing of the discovery by NASA scientists in  Washington DC does indeed point to this conclusion, we only need to look at the chart for the last solar eclipse drawn for Washington DC (activated by transit Mars in the last week of Feb. 2020). Notice that the eclipse in Capricorn is conjunct the S.Node. The South Node refers to patterns of the past that have served their purpose and need to be discarded. On the other hand, the North Node in Cancer (along with the TNP Hades and the healing asteroid Aesculapia ) is asking us to nurture our deeper emotional needs … and throw out  traditional rules of behavior (Capricorn) that keep us enslaved to a lesser life.

Hades might be seen as the underlying essentials of life once the surface coverings are stripped away.  Blake Finley points out that Hades is  prominent in the charts of cleaning or sewage workers , who deal with basic, primal, essential elements of life on the physical plane... the daily maintenance required for continued healthy existence.  It also seems to be significant in the charts of repair-workers who deal with defects and deficiencies and take measures to fix or remediate them. Could this be the core principle and truth of Hades... the human struggle with bringing primal instincts (dirt?) under control to serve a higher, transpersonal (spirit?) purpose?  If so, it again makes sense that Hades often shows prominently in the charts of psychologists and social workers, whose activities often focus on bringing the unconscious or semi-conscious primal instincts  (dirt?) to light so that they can be consciously altered or transmuted.

Now this is where things get really interesting. Look at the charts for the solar eclipse at Wantagh, NY and Singapore. Notice that each has the eclipse aligned with the meridian. At Wantagh,NY it on the lower meridian (IC) while at Singapore it on the upper meridian (MC). In each case Hades is prominent being opposite the eclipse. On Feb. 25-26 with Mars transit over the eclipse degree [5cp] new sewage treatment plants where in the news in both these places. Can this be a coincidence?



WANTAGH, NY , FEB.26—A sewage project worth $500 million over a three year period is being called one of the most significant environmental projects for Long Island's South Shore in the last 50 years.

SINGAPORE, FEB 25, 2020 -- Singapore’s national water agency PUB will partner with Brewerkz, Singapore’s longest-running craft brewery experience, to bring back NEWBrew for Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2020 (July 5-9). Made with NEWater - Singapore’s own brand of ultra-high grade recycled water, the special brew is set to return with a brand new twist. A limited quantity will also be available for public sale in the month of July. https://www.waterworld.com/international/wastewater/article/14168622/pub-singapore-rereleases-beer-made-from-recycled-water

Summary
 Here is a summary to help readers understand this long post a little better. The topic of this post was the mighty explosion in OPHIUCHUS. This constellation refers to the healer and by association to illness or things that are in a state of disrepair and need to be fixed. The discovery chart highlighted a Hades-Aesculapia combination. Hades might be seen as the underlying essentials of life once the surface coverings are stripped away…and that is exactly what the explosion is doing. The hypocrisy, the façade is being removed. We are being asked to look at Hades which can be the dirt below and do something to remove the dirt (sewage plants?). On an individual level we might think of  a more holistic approach to life and disease (homeopathy…Sabik?) as a superficial  “symptomatic” approach will no longer do. As a corollary let us learn to express our true feelings and not be cowed down by socially accepted behavior.
