Transpersonal Astrology - The Great Attractor

Located at 14° of Sagittarius, the Great Attractor is a mysterious galactic anomaly. Appearing to be a massive concentration of mass and energy, it hungrily devours neighboring galaxies at the impossible-to-imagine speed of 600km/second. This is a concentration of mass thousands of times greater than our Milky Way, yet accurate understandings elude our scientists and the Great Attractor remains incalculable and incomprehensible. It is thought to be at the gravitational center of the Laniakea supercluster. Our own Milky Way is one of 100,000 galaxies included in this cluster.

Acting like a galactic bully, its unfathomable gravity warps space and time and bends light, yet it lacks an event horizon, which it would have if it was simply a black hole. Although it recedes from our galaxy at a very high speed, at the same time there is extreme measurable ultraviolet energy that suggests it is approaching. Whaaaaat?!

It's baffling! If the Great Attractor is comprised of dark energy, which is one theory, (the universe is thought to be 71% dark energy and it is the force that moves galaxies), then it has to be a different, unknown, more powerful type of dark energy.

Spiritually and astrologically this offers much to chew on. The Great Attractor is mysterious, unknowable, seduces and draws in, yet we don’t know if she’s coming or going. Philip Sedgwick says, “While this complex point actively recedes, it summons an energy of “come hither.” Once engaged, this pull exceeds anything known. The attraction to this point possesses a seductive tone, but in a classical Sagittarian mode. There’s something about it. It seems to possess this energy - it’s mysterious, it’s captivating, it might even be a direct personification of the Creator!" In the classic Sagittarius vibe, it is not easy to know well.

In come the themes of destiny, fate, and free will. It’s suggestive that once one has entered this current, the outcome is set in stone. You will be devoured, consumed. No doubt the pull is crazy hard, if not impossible to resist. Is that really true though? I like to think that we always have a choice and that our own strength and power are unknowable until triggered by a potent seductive current that feels like it could be a trap… or your destiny… or the voice of the Creator.

With any prominent conjunction or opposition in the natal chart to The Great Attractor, these themes above can be colorfully present and the querent will FEEL this wild-ride energy. Where are we free and where are we fated? What part do we play in the destiny of others?

This is one of the mysterious points I look at in the Galactic Blueprint Reading.

  • Hi there, from Sweden and came to this site and article about Great attractor as i was searching for information. It’s new for me that my birthday on 6 december also is the place of the great attractor, my sun is 14 o 06’ in sagittarius.
    I wonder if you, the writer of the article, have more to say about this in an astrological view. I’ve read some about the astronomics and it´s astonishing.
    I’m a 56 year old woman and for the last 15 years I’ve been on a “hero’s journey” and lived a life on the go, shifting of jobs, partners, adresses, friends…There have been several clashes and disharmony in my familyrelations, I’m kind of a black sheep. One thing that stands out in my relations is that people are attracted to me but when I engage in the relation with my whole person, people get scared and run away from me. I have to give myself in doses dependning on what the other person can take.
    For my whole life I felt like I have a big motor, a V8, in my chest, so even if I get the results I describe above in my relations, I have to keep going this my way. As if I don’t have another choice, it isn’t true if I dont follow this force.
    In these very days I’m doing a big shift in my life and start an education in recycling design and definitely leaving a job as a general practitioner. I don’t have a clue how this will work out economically but have a trust in it will be a solution.
    The last two weeks I’ve been studying my birth chart to see if I can get some threads to follow to understand more about myself and what I’ve signed up for in this life and then, among other things, this Great Attractor comin up.
    Wonder if you have anything more to ad, questions or reflections to offer me on how I can understand and work with this energy?

  • I have Antares exact my Midheaven at 9° Sagittarius and The Great attractor sits there at 14°. I also have Fomalhaut exact my Moon at 4° Pisces. I have a stellium of planets in Pisces & Aquarius. Fun times!! I had to go through the dark night of the soul to heal and shortly I will begin my soul work.

  • Jupiter conj Great Attrsctor exact degree. Ive had a few psychic experiences but the most remarkable was when on different nights I had two wraiths appear, my x husband crying and my son surrounded by incredible lights. Their messages were cryptic but within a month, our son was killed in an accident.
