THe galactic center
The Galactic Center represents something in your life that you are compelled to do. It is connected to our purpose and, if followed, can provide meaning to life. You can determine the area of your life where this occurs, depending on the house placement and aspects to other planets.
The other parts of your chart will show how you will best be able to manifest this compulsion or areas where you need to make changes in order to do so. Of course, some people will experience obstacles, while others will seem to live an enchanted life where everything works out.
All of us have unconscious motivations for what we think and do. Pluto deals with this to some degree. The Galactic Center compulsion may not be unconscious, but rather so common in our life that we take it for granted. We don’t even notice it because it is ‘normal’ to us. Hence, we may not think it that important, until or unless it is taken away.
The Galactic Center was known to the ancient Maya. They had a hieroglyph for it since it was a special place in their cosmology. It was believed shamans went there when they traveled for inspiration. It was believed it was the place we go when we dream and at death, we take up residence there until our next incarnation. The translations for the Mayan glyph are: ‘the place of dreams’, ‘the black star place’ and ‘the shape-shifter place’. The name for the GC was Ek’ Waynal.
In our system, it is in the sign of Sagittarius, the seeker of truth and meaning. A centaur, half man half horse, which represents the natural part of being human, our instinctive nature on the one hand. On the other hand, we also contain a spark of the divine and a connection to the higher realms. It is this dual aspect of being a human that often trips us up and distorts our vision. By remaining connected to the higher realms, we can keep to the goals of this incarnation. The Sagittarius centaur aims his arrow at the higher goal. Sometimes we need a hierophant to assist us. In the past, the shaman. Today perhaps the astrologer operates in this role.
We may find that we have been on the ‘right path’ all along. Through grace or influences from past lives, we may already be acting with purpose. The culture we live in today thrives on creating doubt in us. It is the way consumer capitalism thrives. What would we buy if we didn’t feel something was missing? Of course, we do have basic needs, but beyond that, what do we actually need? Sometimes all we want is assurance.
