The Sun joins M87 on September 25

Messier 87 (M87, Virgo A, Virgo Galaxy) is an 8.6 magnitude supergiant galaxy with several trillion stars in the constellation Virgo. It is one of the local universe’s largest and most massive galaxies. It has a jet of energetic plasma that originates at the core and extends at least 4,900 light-years. It is also one of the brightest radio sources in the sky. M87 has an active supermassive black hole at its core.

M87 Astrology

Philip Sedgwick [1] calls M87 the Super Galactic Center. My research on Black Hole astrology confirms his findings that the most significant manifestation is sequential monogamy, or codependency and dysfunctional relationship behavior.

M87 gives intense powers of attraction, charm, sex appeal and commitment. However, the partner feels captured, engulfed and consumed. The native is so needy and demanding of time and energy that the relationship ultimately fails.

Although breaking up is especially devastating for M87 people, it is not long before they find themselves in the next committed relationship. Black Hole astrology gives an obsession with finding the perfect partner. Sometimes, relationships can be replaced by a career or special calling. But the result is the same. No one person or job can make them feel satisfied or fulfilled. They always want more and more.

Thankfully, most people turn to spirituality for answers. There is the realization that some childhood wounds must be healed. Once the energy-sucking, demanding behavior is eliminated, an evolutionary stage of development allows room for a soul mate. Some will also become healers, teachers, agents of enlightenment and promoters of change.

Black Hole Astrology

In The Black Hole Book, Alex Miller [2] says that Black Hole astrology promotes change and transition and can be challenging to work with. Black Holes represent a complete reversal of the status quo. Many manifestations seem negative, but their high drama can often elicit rags-to-riches stories.

Theoretical physics states that Black Holes are doorways to parallel universes, alternate realities, and higher dimensions. Making contact with one in our daily lives can often feel like that. Like we have been uprooted from the everyday reality of the Light World and thrust into an alien environment, an Underworld which, although ominous and threatening, can also be the repository of vast riches and the wealth of knowledge of the subconscious.

Several major themes emerge in Black Hole astrology. These involve changeability, personal magnetism/repulsion, extreme instability/unpredictability, unique perspective, energy absorption, transmutation or depletion, and a greater than the typical impact on one’s environment or peers. There is also the attraction of unparalleled, singular, often bizarre experiences.
