Will the “Black Hole” change the Virgo?

Is it more than a coincident that during this time, the Golden Age, a Black Hole is born in the Constellation Virgo? We all know that through time and history angelic forces and DIVINE energies communicate to us via symbols and visions and dreams. Watching the skies was an ancient art and was well charted by our forefathers.


Those of us who know the stars know that Virgo is the symbol representing “Virgin” and also in ancient time "Mary, the Virgin Mother". With the appearance of the Black Hole in this Zodiac I am curious if this will change our symbol of the Virgin all together. Black Hole pulls matter from space because the force of the antimatter creates its own gravity and eats well  using its “jets” to navigate distance and travel.  I’ve always felt like a Black Hole was like the “Finger of God” putting to end worlds that failed in their evolution and no longer serve the higher paths. I know this Zodiac will change but the real question is how much and should we see this as a sign of approaching shifts for Earth?

I hope our star heroes will continue to watch this constellation very closely. I have included links about the Galaxy Cluster below. Wikipedia and NASA Chandra Harvard EDU website. I think you will find its representation very interesting.

Virgo from Wikipedia
Virgo is one of the constellations of the zodiac. Its name is Latin for virgin, and its symbol is (Unicode ♍). Lying between Leo to the west and Libra to the east, it is the second largest constellation in the sky. It can be easily found through its brightest star, Spica.

Exoplanets

With 22 known exoplanets in this constellation, Virgo has more confirmed exoplanets than any other constellation. 9 planets in this constellation, which is the most planets discovered in a single constellation in a single year, were discovered in 2009.

Deep sky objects

Because of the presence of a galaxy cluster (consequently called the Virgo cluster) within its borders 5° to 10° west of ε Vir (Vindemiatrix), this constellation is especially rich in galaxies.

Some examples are Messier 49 (elliptical), Messier 58 (spiral), Messier 59 (elliptical), Messier 60 (elliptical), Messier 61 (spiral), Messier 84 (lenticular), Messier 86 (lenticular), Messier 87 (elliptical and a famous radio source), Messier 89 (elliptical) and Messier 90 (spiral). A noted galaxy that is not part of the cluster is the Sombrero Galaxy (M104), an unusual spiral galaxy. It is located about 10° due west of Spica.

Mythology

According to the Babylonian Mul.Apin, which dates between 1000 BC and 686 BC, this constellation was known as "The Furrow" , representing the goddess Shala's ear of grain or corn.[2] One star in this constellation, Spica, retains this tradition as it is Latin for "ear of grain", one of the major products of the Mesopotamian furrow. The constellation was also known as AB.SIN and absinnu. For this reason the constellation became associated with fertility.[3] According to Gavin White the figure of Virgo really corresponds to two Babylonian constellations - the 'Furrow' in the eastern sector of Virgo and the 'Frond of Erua' in the western sector. The Frond of Erua was depicted as a goddess holding a palm-frond - a motif that still occasionally appears in much later depictions of Virgo.[4]

The Greeks and Romans associated this constellation with their goddess of wheat, Demeter-Ceres, who is the mother of Proserpina-Persephone. Alternatively, she was sometimes identified as the virgin goddess Iustitia, holding the scales of justice in her hand as the constellation Libra.[5] In the Middle Ages, this constellation was sometimes associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary.[3]

Astrology

As of 2002, the Sun appears in the constellation Virgo from September 17 to October 30 . In tropical astrology, the Sun is considered to be in the sign Virgo from August 23 to September 22, and in sidereal astrology, from September 16 to October 15.

Virgo (the maiden)

Location: Zodiac constellation, visible in both Hemispheres
Coordinates:
Right Ascension: 13h
Declination: 0º
Source: Associated with almost every major female deity in world-wide early civilizations




The story behind the name: The constellations that are included in the Zodiac - the 12 constellations recognized by Babylonian astronomers through which our Sun, moon, and planets appeared to travel during the course of a year - are considered to be among the oldest sky patterns recognized by human civilizations. They were thought to have more significance because they were touched by the Sun. Virgo rose in mid-August when the Zodiac was created by the Greeks and Babylonians so the sign became a marker for the ending of summer and the ripening of the harvest.

Most of the fertility and harvest goddesses of the Mediterranean and Middle East are in some way associated with Virgo but there is no one definitive myth that defines this pattern. The pattern is pictured as a female, often holding a spike of grain in one hand. Virgo is the second largest constellation in the sky after Hydra, and the Sun spends a long time within its boundaries. The Sun is still within Virgo at the autumnal equinox, another point significant to ancient harvest and fertility rituals. These associations can be seen in the names of some of Virgo's main stars: Spica (spike of grain) and Vindemiatrix (wine gatherer).

Johannes Hevelius' Virgo from Uranographia (1690)

Sometimes Virgo is holding a staff, a caduceus (the snake-entwined staff that symbolizes healing, rebirth, or oracle prophecy), or a scale in her other hand. These other symbols are associated with additional goddesses who symbolize justice or wisdom or prophecy. Many of the goddesses linked to Virgo are associated with stories in which a king or male god dies (symbolizing the coming of winter) and is reborn again in the spring, or in which the goddess enters the underworld to find him and cause his rebirth.

In other variants, the goddess herself, representing the bountiful Earth, divides her time between the upper world and the underworld, returning above ground in the spring. Among the goddesses associated with Virgo are the Babylonian Istar, the Egyptian Isis, Sumerian Ishtar, Greek Demeter, Demeter's daughter Persephone, Roman Ceres, Dionysius's daughter Erigone, Greek Dike, Athena, or Artemis - and many others. Virgo is also important in an ancient Chinese belief which is based on the passage of the moon, not the Sun.

Youngest Black Hole in M-100 Virgo Cluster

NASA has made their finding public and what was the “extraordinary object”? NASA has announced that they have found the Youngest Black Hole in our Solar Backyard. This has opened exciting windows on how a Black Hole forms from inception. So it seems this discovery is linked indirectly with the recent announcement of the Super Neutron or Gamma Ray Bubble found. The Youngest Black Hole is located in our neighboring solar system and is named M-100 in the Virgo Cluster.


When a Star collapses it can either end up as a Neutron Star or Black Hole. Why this is significant is because for the first time they are able to understand the Phenomenon and what determines weather it becomes a Neutron or Back Hole. Gravitational waves and the properties of matter will be studied and analyzed.

However, we know the reputation of Black Holes and they are well known for sucking matter from their neighborhood so let’s pray this thing becomes a Neutron Star. Black Holes have a tendency to create “Jets” much like the comets which allows it to move through space and eat.

- end –

So, here goes my take on this subject, the probability for my creative mind is endless so I hope I don’t get lost in my speculations.

1. Since this object was discovered via Orbiting Space Telescope and is being represented as extraordinary that it requires a public announcement, more than likely it is;

a. An anomaly or large planet, comet or object that poses so potential danger or value to us.

b. A solar system identical to ours with an orbiting planet that appears to have an atmosphere, so thus potential life.

c. A sun in a neighboring solar system.

I know that more than likely it is not a mother ship or any type of space craft or the President and other top officials would be involved. However, I do think this announcement is prelude to additional deep space missions or building deep space weapons. As you may know, Obama has canceled NASA project; Space Station, Ares 1 and the Constellation Project. Instead he has added funds from those projects and additional funds for deep space projects. Actually the Space Station was canceled by the Bush Administration.
