<strong>The</strong> <strong>Astrology</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> Local Supergalaxy<br />

<strong>The</strong> center <strong>of</strong> the local supergalaxy is either in or near<br />

the great Virgo cluster <strong>of</strong> galaxies located at a<br />

distance <strong>of</strong> 12 to 16 Mpc. Our position at the very<br />

edge <strong>of</strong> this supercluster is even more extreme than<br />

our somewhat out-riding position in the disk <strong>of</strong> our<br />

galaxy. Virtually all the matter concentrated in the<br />

supergalactic plane is to one side <strong>of</strong> our position and<br />

in the general direction <strong>of</strong> the zodiac signs Virgo and<br />

Libra.<br />

A glance at the star maps (located elsewhere) will<br />

make the orientation <strong>of</strong> the supergalactic plane clear<br />

to the reader. <strong>The</strong> Supergalactic plane dominates the<br />

Autumn Equinox and the signs Virgo & Libra, just as<br />

the galactic plane dominates the solstice axis and the<br />

signs Sagittarius/Capricorn and Gemini/Cancer. It is<br />

<strong>of</strong> more than passing interest to notice that these two<br />

vast systems are at a right-angle (84°) to one another<br />
