Full Moon to Dance With Pleiades Star Cluster

starry Night Education


An odd thing is going to happen on Sunday (Nov. 21): Just before sunrise, the full moon will appear on the western horizon just beneath the Pleiades, the brightest star cluster in the entire night sky.
The Pleiades is a cluster of bright stars located in the constellation Taurus about 410 light-years from the sun. As the brightest star cluster, the Pleiades is a showpiece in both binoculars and small telescopes.
This sky map shows how to spot the Pleiades along with the full moon on Sunday morning.
The morning sky show is just for starters. The full moon and the Pleiades will give an encore 12 hours later just after sunset, when the moon will appear on the eastern horizon.
This is normal, and happens every month. But this time, the Pleiades is again immediately above the moon.
This would seem to be impossible, because the moon moves steadily across the sky in its orbit around the Earth, and can't be in the same place 12 hours later. [Gallery - Full Moon Fever]
How can it be?
Let's take a closer look at the images of these two events:
First, look at the constellations arrayed around the moon and the Pleiades, particularly Taurus, Auriga and Perseus. [Sky Maps: Nov. 21 Moon at Sunrise, Moon at Sunset]
All three are present in both images, but their orientation is completely different. Look closely at the Pleiades themselves, and you'll see that they have flipped in 12 hours. So, what's going on?
There are two events that occur during the day of Nov. 21 that affect this month's full moon appearance.
First, full moon occurs at 12:27 p.m. EST (1727 GMT). Technically, full moon is an instantaneous event: It happens at the precise instant the sun, Earth and moon fall in a straight line.
At the time full moon occurs, the Earth is rotated so that the moon is below the horizon for observers in North America. So, neither of the moons in the two sky map images here is a truly full moon: the first is a waxing gibbous moon, about six hours short of full, and the second is a waning gibbous moon, six hours past full.
To the human eye, both look "full" so we tend to say that both are full, even though this isn't 100 percent accurate.
The other event that occurs is that the moon and the Pleiades are in conjunction at 1 p.m. EST (1800 GMT). At this time, the moon and the Pleiades are as close as they can get this month, the moon being 1.3 degrees south of the Pleiades.
This conjunction is not observable from the United States because the moon is below the horizon for North Americans.
Dancing with the Pleiades
Coming back to the sky maps, we begin to see what's going on. The moon has in fact moved from one side of the Pleiades to the other side, passing the Pleiades around just past noon while both moon and Pleiades are under our feet.
The radical change in the orientation of the constellations is also a normal effect. If you watch any constellation over an entire night, you will see that it rises in the east in one orientation, moves in a wide arc across the sky, and then sets about 12 hours later in a completely different orientation.
Having the moon and the Pleiades as the centerpiece in this array of constellations gives us a point of reference, and it becomes much easier to see how the constellations change their orientation from rising (as seen in the sunrise sky map) to setting (as seen in the sunset sky map).

Thank you Sonja! This is answering many questions, I didn't even know that I had! Ah...awesome!

I've always felt, deeply, connected to the Pleiades. Seeing their star mapping, it's like viewing a distant home. My daughter's name is Maya (Maia) and she informed me years ago that, she felt, each living entity is linked to a stellar body (she was 12 or so); now I know she was tapping into her own-Maia.

Exciting...what other info awaits...

I'm beginning to understand why this, November 2010, full moon is offering such an opportunity for clearance and evolution; those aligned and called can shed volumes of, previously accrued, (prohibitive) energies.

My fingers are/were flying on the computer keys...channelling? Hmm...nice.

(((THANK YOU SONJA)))

Namaste, dear star sister :-)

I don't know why, but I've just pasted the article here which I posted in our Mutual Ascencion Group ... I'll leave it as it is, who know what it's good for ;-)

Blessings of Love and Light and THANK YOU for your love filled comment, dear AyAnna!

The Purification of Family Relationships
November 14, 2010
==================================

Dearest Beloved Ones,

God's grace and blessing is present at all times, even in the most difficult of circumstances. God's light and love reach down from the heavens and provide support for the extreme trials that many are facing at this time.

At this pivotal time on the Earth, significant and groundbreaking changes are being felt in all areas of life, and especially in close relationships.

All relationships are sacred, and family relationships are especially so because they are chosen at the soul level prior to incarnation. This does not mean that family relationships are easy, as most are not. Instead, they are chosen for healing, which may involve the exploration of painful emotions or experiences.

Beloved ones, at the present time all relationships are being brought to new levels of clarity, purity, love and truth. This is especially so for family relationships and as a result there may be new levels of strain or stress that are manifesting.

Old emotional issues may be coming to a head, and previous coping mechanisms that involved denial or lack of truth may no longer be useful or even possible with the new energy configurations of light that are emerging on the Earth.

Families exist on many levels, and there are also spiritual families that exist, of souls who are not bound together genetically but through their soul connection. These souls often share a common purpose of service or creative expression, and these relationships often are carried from lifetime to lifetime.

The spiritual family relationship can feel confusing at times, for example if you meet someone who instantly feels familiar, and you feel a deep love for. Many people find this confusing, especially for those who may already be married or in long term committed intimate partnerships.

What is needed to have a deeper understanding of these kinds of relationships is an expansion of the heart that goes beyond the traditional ideas of love and relationship.

As light expands on the Earth, so do the possibilities for a deeper and more profound connection of love between all souls. Each soul that you meet has something to teach you, and a blessing to offer, even in difficult interactions.

As love and light grow within you, the intuitive understanding of your relationships grows, so that you begin to feel something known as right relationship.

There is no judgment in right relationship, only an intuitive sense of what is the best form and expression for your relationships with each person. Or, said another way, right relationship is your intuitive understanding of the form that God intends for that relationship.

Beloved ones, at this time the intensity levels of the Earth have reached a new high. The strength of light that is manifesting is breaking apart the veils of illusion and separation. The process of purification is greatly intensified and emotions are intense. Lives are in upheaval, and structures that once supported life are now changing or have disappeared altogether.

This time of change is having a profound effect on family relationships of all kinds. What can be helpful in strengthening the bonds of love is a shared practice, of whatever kind, that enables each family member to come together in love and light and truth, at whatever level of depth is possible. This can be as simple as saying a prayer before dinner, sitting together quietly in the evening and reflecting upon God, or making time to share comforting connections with one another.

All supports of light in your life that bring you to a closer relationship with God, with light, with love and with the essence of peace that is your soul's truth, can serve to help you navigate during this intense time. We give thanks for the blessing that your presence on the Earth brings during this time of transformation.

With all love and blessings,
Amen

Thank you. This is a beautiful blessing message, at a perfect time. Perhaps, in relation to the above article, we can include our families in the cosmos, ancestors, etc.

Thank you, dear sister, that you follow your inner guidance, with such ease and grace.

(((Many blessings of Love and Light to all our connections and families, throughout existence)))

I see and feel you SOnja.

Namaste

[Myriel RAouine]

Yes, WE ARE ONE :-)
