Editor’s Note: The following article was written by Phil Sedgwick, an astrologer and long-time friend of Planet Waves, on recent headlines and the astrology behind it all. Sedgwick is one of the pioneers of galactic astrology; that is, the astrology of the galaxies along the ecliptic, and our own galactic core. In this article he references the Great Attractor, which is not a galaxy but an object that is pulling a million of them toward itself.

Dear Friend and Reader,
IT’S AN ODD MIXTURE of energy out there – not exactly oil and water but close to it. Yesterday and today as Mercury moved by the Great Attractor in Sagittarius, a point which excludes no known electromagnetic emanation, President Elect Obama fleshed out a multiracial, multi-partisan, downright ecumenical cabinet. Also in Sagittarius, the Sun and Mars prepare to join combustible forces on the 4th similarly aligned to the Great Attractor. Perhaps this alignment can illuminate more differences in the interest of bringing opposing parties together. This seems a key point as the world nervously watches relations between India and Pakistan in the wake of last week’s terrorist atrocity.
If the Great Attractor’s energy is manifest in the interest of enlightenment, healing and restoring understanding even between those most at odds, things do even neatly. A key Sag point underscores the Great Attractor and transits soon commencing to the Galactic Center. In order for progress to occur between differing persons, factions, countries or planets, any conversion agenda must be dropped. If one approaches others with the intent of altering the opinion of others to comply with one’s own, no progress can be made.
