At 26,000 light years away, the Galactic Core is our next door neighbor. The Great Attractor is a point located far, far away beyond our galaxy, so massive that it is like a vortex drawing toward it a million or so galaxies at the rate of about 24 million miles a day. Yes children, we travel 24 million miles every day for our whole lives, flying through space in the direction of Sagittarius &#8212; while the thing we are chasing retreats.<\/p>\n<p>Have you wondered why these people born in late November through mid-December are so OUT THERE? Now you have a metaphor. Here is another: the GA is the biggest, heaviest and most massive thing that is known to science. It broadcasts on every radio spectrum but visible light. In other words, it is invisible. This is complicated by the fact that the dusty plane of our own galaxy interferes with the perception and &#8216;view&#8217; of the object.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2001 I wrote a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ericfrancis.com\/sagittarius\/sagittarius10.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>short article on the Great Attractor<\/strong><\/a>, and I still think it&#8217;s pretty good. To sum up, as an astrological influence, the Great Attractor creates a sense of polarization. It is a psychic property, not a necessary reality; but the feeling is &#8220;you love him or you hate him,&#8221; just like the people we love to love and love to hate. For bonus points, what to our beloved conservative talk show hosts &#8212; Limbagh, Hannity, Beck, O&#8217;Reilly &#8212; have conjunct, opposite or square the GA? Do any of them have 13-16 mutable on an angle?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Len mentioned the Great Attractor (14 Sagg and 5 minutes), a fixed point at the center of Sagittarius.
