Mounted star Alcyone is the key star within the well-known Pleiades Star Cluster. The Pleiades are discovered within the shoulder of Taurus the bull, positioned from 29º Taurus to 00° Gemini*. Completely different cultures all through the ages have a mythology round these stars as a result of this cluster is so putting within the sky. 

The Pleiades stars are also called the seven sisters. In Greek delusion, the sisters grew to become stars as a result of Zeus took pity on their mourning the demise of their household. Many of the seven sisters nonetheless reside within the signal of Taurus as you’ll be able to see from the record beneath. Alcyone is the brightest star with a magnitude of three.0

Within the medieval instances the fastened star Alcyone (representing all the Pleiades) was often known as a magical Behenian star and in talismans is alleged to offer magical energy and data. In Esoteric Astrology, the seven photo voltaic programs revolve across the Pleiades star cluster, and naturally, there are a lot of web sites all around the web claiming to have channeled info from them.

 “The Pleiades’ function, then, is to assist seekers develop into consciously conscious of Divine Data and Knowledge, which is why their etheric, astral and psychological our bodies should be purified earlier than having the ability to combine with that non secular realm. The Pleiades characterize a non secular “station” the place the Excellent Mannequin inside seekers is energized and comes alive on earth.” Plotinus.

So it’s actually no surprise that the Pleiades featured so strongly in 2012 astrology. The Pleiades are revered as much as the current day by Ufologists and they’re additionally featured within the Cherokee Rattlesnake Prophecy.

We’re all anticipating mass awakening however what’s it about this constellation specifically that conjures up such nice expectation? It’s unusual as a result of while you examine Alcyone’s precise which means, it truly is a blended bag. 

Though the star confers knowledge, there may be additionally a bunch of actually unfavorable associations with it additionally. This can be because of the Judeo-Christian behavior of warning the overall mob away from something magical, however in case you have a look at the existence of some of the natives born below these stars, there may very well be some fact in Robson’s grim interpretations.

Bohemian Life

One other affiliation with Alcyone is homosexuality. Each Robson’s and Ebertin’s books have been revealed round 1930 when homosexual intercourse was nonetheless unlawful. Identical to any fastened star related to unchaste feminine sexuality was demonized, so it’s the case with Alcyone. I might learn Robson’s interpretations bearing this in thoughts, which why I’ve set them beside Bernadette Brady’s evaluations for comparability.

So the Pleiades are typically seen as having an overdose of Venusian power. Bear in mind Venus has her darkish facet since she was each the goddess of affection and conflict in Babylonian instances. Venusian type ‘conflict’ could be underhand and manipulative. Right here’s what Manilus says in regards to the Pleiades star cluster:

 “they may clean their furry limbs with the porous pumice, loathing their manhood and yearning for sleekness of arm. They undertake female gown, footwear donned not for put on however for present, and an affected effeminate gait. They’re ashamed of their intercourse; “ [1]

Okay, there truly are just a few nice gay examples on the record. One of the best instance is the attractive and supremely proficient Rufus Wainwright, who has Alcyone rising by 42’. He’s the right Venusian gentleman and is definitely not ashamed of his intercourse.

He clothes sometimes very flamboyantly, however principally tastefully and romantically, like an 18th-century poet. Rufus has additionally had his brush with demise when he was raped and almost strangled aged 14 in a park.

Later Rufus additionally suffered from Alcyone’s risk of blindness. On the peak of Rufus’s crystal-meth dependancy in 2002 he briefly misplaced his imaginative and prescient. He’s not an addict and his musical path has matured to incorporate his ardour for opera. 

I notice David Beckham can also be within the rising record. Regardless of being a manly soccer idol, he’s definitely not within the slightest bit bothered about sporting female clothes! He has been identified to sport a sarong and nail paint, which is uncommon, to say the least within the macho subject of sport.

The Pleiades Constellation

There’s particular proof of “shame” in a number of the natives beneath, normally stemming from scandalous amorous affairs that threatened their public profile.

The impact of Venusian indulgences within the type of alcohol or drug abuse are additionally noticed to have a detrimental impact on a few of these peoples careers and performances.

“The Pleiades causes bereavement, mourning, sorrows and tragedies.” 3.  Alcyone is a cluster, so it is usually mentioned to offer blindness or accidents to the face, however the trendy interpretation of eyesight issues is an interior imaginative and prescient. 

There are a good few deadly automobile accidents and drug-related untimely deaths on the movie star record, so the proximity to demise is clearly there.

As a result of this cluster rose at sundown round November, this star can also be related to a judgment of the lifeless and destiny. In lots of international locations, a day was put aside round this time to mourn those that died in battle.

“The Pleiades provides ambition and endeavor, which supplies preferment, honor and glory. Not omen with regard to relationships to the alternative intercourse”. [2] 

So this star has connections with passing over to different dimensions. This may very well be the place the magical facet of Alcyone comes into it and with it the attainment of occult knowledge. The judgemental facet of this star could be fairly harsh although as a result of it dishes out karma with no mercy or compassion.

Gruesomely, in widespread with Robson’s extra unfavorable findings, Alcyone with the Solar provides us one topic who actually did possess an ‘Evil disposition’. Serial Killer Jeffery Dahmer took the lives of 17 males and boys. His murders concerned rape, mutilation, necrophilia and even cannibalism.
