Brief check-in

Apologies for the unintended silence. It's been an interesting week, to say the least, in my personal life. I'll be back on here with more posts as soon as I can.

Pride and Prejudice (and the Great Attractor)

My original intention for this week's post was to write about the approaching Sagittarius Full Moon, taking place on 4th June. What you are instead about to read is not entirely unrelated to that event; regardless, it seems worth saying*.

When the lunation occurs, the Moon will be conjunct a deep space point known as the Great Attractor (GA). While I was researching the astrological implications of this point, I came across a thorough and most interesting delineation by Philip Sedgwick. He argues that the GA acts as a symbolically attractive force as well as a literal one, drawing us in by our curiosity to seek a hidden gem of knowledge. When we find it, we are in danger of elevating it as the sole and simple truth, to the exclusion of all else: hyperfocused on that one concept as a one-size-fits-all panacea.
