The Galactic Core

Dear Eric,
Please could you point me in the right direction to find an
ephemeris for the Galactic Centre? I found one for 1900-2000, but I would like
to know where it is now. Many thanks if you can help with this.
Love and best wishes
Sue (aka Astral)
Dear Astral
The Galactic Core is a fixed point, so it does not orbit the
Sun and thus moves extremely slowly. Because the Earth wobbles, all the fixed
stars appear to move about one degree every 72 years. Based on this, the
position of the Galactic Core as of this month is:
26 degrees of Sagittarius and 55 arc minutes. Sabian Symbol:
"A sculptor at his work. The ability to project one's vision upon and to
give form to materials."
I used the French-published Aureas Ephemeris to locate this
position.
For those interested in the fixed stars, here is a chart to
their locations and one version of their meaning. Remember that all the
meanings are based on one point of view and others will provide many different
ideas. You need to work with a point to really find out what it means to you.
And here is another resource.
Note that fixed star listings don't generally discuss the
new points -- such as quasars, galaxies, black holes and other related points
-- which are the modern equivalent of fixed stars.
If anyone is curious, I can get into those another week.
