17P/Holmes - Enigma 'Comet'

Not to change the subject, "Its just that most of the cutting edge cosmos theories are in this thread", but has anybody got any word on whether or not Mars got slammed on the 8th? Just a quick yes or no will do, but pics or data are preferred. Keep looking up. Later

Algol in Perseus was known as the "eye of the demon."...

Comet Holmes is conjunct with the "Demon Star" Algol


"The comet is now in the constellation of Perseus and should still be within
reach of modest telescopes. Pay special attention to a very special passage
of Comet Holmes 17P, on the nights of Jan. 21 and 22, when the comet will
pass nearly in front of one of the most famous variable stars in the entire sky.
Comet Holmes 17P will pass near the star Algol, the Demon Star. Algol..."



Reclaiming 'the Goddess Saraswati Star'*, Algol

How rare binary star Algol may be linked
to the re-emergence of the Divine Feminine.


People whose charts feature prominent Algol placements include...
Mozart ... Johnny Depp ... Picasso ... Princess Diana

and Salvador Dali, Van Gogh, Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, Ramakrishna (Indian saint),
Muktananda (Indian mystic), Werner Erhard (guru "est"), Al Gore (the name is close),
Billy Joel, Glen Campbell, Liberace, Princess Diana, Prince William, Princess Caroline
of Monaco, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Carl Sagan, Cecil B. De Mille (film producer),
Isadora Duncan, Mata Hari (Spy), George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Michael Caine,
Henry Fonda, Stephen King, Enya and Martin Luther King.


Algol must be the most misunderstood of all the fixed stars - and is directly
connected to Goddess energy. If you do a Net search on Algol, you will find
yourself plunged into an abyss of misery - but there is no need to be scared.


Found in the constellation of Perseus, Algol represents Medusa,
the most misunderstood of all the Goddesses -

Medusa's name comes from the Sanskrit Medha,
which means 'sovereign feminine wisdom,'
and is another name for the Goddess Saraswati who revealed language -
speech and writing - to humans, and who governs science, music and the arts.


Could it be that Algol was originally feared by (mostly male) astrologers
because they feared feminine wisdom?

Men scared of a wise women? Surely not?!



As Fixed Star expert Diana K. Rosenberg says: some born under these
stars reach the very pinnacle of their professions, becoming “immortals”.

And Fixed Star expert Bernadette Brady adds: "This star seems to contain
immense female passion and power. It is the power of the feminine or the
potential power of Mother Nature, not to be called evil for being strong.”

In that way, Algol is perhaps mostly about the power to create.


Medusa is one of the so-called powerful Dark Goddesses...

Writes Dr Glenys Livingstone: "The Dark Goddess... nurtures a strength,
a fierce love that is purifying, liberating and creative. She knows the wisdom
of the ages... (She) knows the necessity of the journey into her inner terrain,
to face with open eyes our deepest fears.

"Often we meet her unprepared - an accident, an illness, an emotional break;
somehow we are broken down. Hers is an invitation to transformation that does indeed
mean death to our old selves, old beliefs about ourselves. Usually we know somewhere
that we have wanted it, but have not known how.

"Her dismembering, then, is an act of love, and in her cauldron at the bottom of the pit,
we find our essence for remembering ourselves."


Says astrologer Kim Falconer: "Algol in the chart may indicate
a place where the sacred feminine is most potent..."


Now as the Comet Holmes lights up the constellation where Algol is found,
it's hard not to wonder if this bright new energy shining down from us is not
all about illuminating us mere mortals down here on Earth about how and why
women and the Stars that represent our Goddesshood have been portrayed.
Algol represents the Goddess who represents the move from matriachial to
patrichial society. Hello.


FOOD FOR THOUGHT REGARDING THE SIGNS IN THE SKY
AND THE RE-EMERGENCE OF THE DIVINE FEMININE

Ceres - the soon-to-be-a-planet-asteroid - was discovered on January 1 1801.
Ceres signifies The Great Mother. Ceres was conjunct (in the same place as)
Algol, the Saraswati Star, at the moment of her discovery.

Now we have the mystical comet Holmes in the constellation of Perseus,
the constellation of Algol. Holmes has stunned astronomers everywhere
by brightening almost one million times - demanding our attention.

As Jonathan Cainer put it: In legend, Perseus killed Medusa and proudly held
aloft her head. Medusa, though, was once synonymous with 'sovereign feminine
wisdom.' Some scholars believe the patriarchal Greeks deliberately demonised
her by depicting an ugly 'Gorgon'. The new bright explosion in the realm of
Perseus may therefore portend the redress of an ancient imbalance. If so, expect
a time soon, when strong, wise women begin to reclaim the spiritual and political
leadership of society!

And where was Comet Holmes when it was discovered on November 6 1892?
At 26 Taurus, the precise location of the Saraswati Star Algol today.


Meanwhile, October 2006 - saw a conjunction between the asteroids Medusa
and Pallas-Athena. Most people only know the Homeric versions of the Medusa
story - the Homeric-versions being "the male version". In the male version,
Pallas-Athena was a very masculine Goddess who ordered the slaying of Medusa.

In the pre-Hellenic accounts of the Medusa story, Pallas-Athena and Medusa
were actually harmonious and parts of the same beautiful triple Goddess.
It was the male telling of their tale which saw them split asunder
and set against each other.


Algol represents The Dark Goddess, the Powerful Woman who won't take any cr*p.
Her slaying by Perseus represents the end of the matriachy by the patriachy.
And now Comet Holmes is lighting up the Perseus constellation,
as though a new day is dawning.


Real femininity is not to be feared because it's powerful.
We need to get our heads around that.


Religious people tell us we are made in the image of God/dess.
Is it so surprising, then, that we are all yin and yang.
Men trying to be only "masculine"
and women trying to be only "feminine"
means not honoring the Divinity within us all,
since the Divine must surely be masculine and feminine.

Remember... Comet Holmes is NOT Algol... but.....

"Now as the Comet Holmes lights up the constellation where Algol is found,
it's hard not to wonder if this bright new energy shining down from us is not
all about illuminating us mere mortals down here on Earth about how and why
women and the Stars that represent our Goddesshood have been portrayed.
Algol represents the Goddess who represents the move from matriarchal to
patriarchal society. Hello."


Hello!

"The new bright explosion in the realm of Perseus may
therefore portend the redress of an ancient imbalance."


.... Mayhaps it IS time to move from this patriarchal society
back into a *balance* with the matriarchal society...
for the sake of Mother Earth... once again!



:luvpeace:

Question...

So is Holmes heading towards Camelopardis???

26 Taurus: Imaginative power that compels manifestation. The soul being empathic is the power of imagination handed to the spirit who manifests on this plane for her...

Lions & tigers & bears, oh my!

L(ove) ions & (in) tegers & (sacred num-)bears, o my !!
(quoting littlebird)
that's an interesting observation, tho',
& if it isn't too off-topic,
i'd be interested in hearing just why you think so!
:halo:

I tried to keep the thread upbeat and positive while you were gone, but this one didnt need my help.
