Arcturus

The constellation Boötes is commonly called the herdsman. He is the hunter, herdsman, and farmer. The primary star, Arcturus, is located at approximately 24 degrees of Libra. Arcturus is a Red Giant with the luminosity of 110 suns and the fourth brightest star in the sky. Arcturus is interpreted as the one who bridges the gap. He was the hunter who turned into a farmer. Under the influence of Arcturus, you help bridge the gap between a lower order of consciousness and a higher one. You help in the role of pathfinder.

In an astrology chart, a natal planet aligned with Arcturus is thought to have the ability to bridge the gap between a hunter/gatherer and the one who cultivates.

If Arcturus is aligned with your Neptune, as it was for many people between Nov. 1952 and Sept. 1954, you must bridge the gap between Neptunian spiritual vision and the application of that vision. If you are born Oct 16-19, your Sun in Libra is aligned with Arcturus. During these days, everyone needs to look at the aspects of their life that need to move from pioneer to cultivator. Your desire to constantly seek the perfect relationship partner would need to be brought down to earth by developing a current relationship into the perfect one. In other words, the grass may not be greener on the other side of the fence; seek to cultivate your current garden. Regardless of the placement in your natal chart, Arcturus calls you to come out of the wilds in order to develop your ideas in a way that will benefit humanity.

For those of you who are into the esoteric side of the stars and space brotherhood, the following information is paraphrased from “The Keys of Enoch” (Key 201) by JJ Hurtak: “Arcturus is our Mid-Way station. It is the seat of our administration and is the thesaurus which holds the key documents used for governing the soul progression of our planetary intelligence. Arcturus is also the first threshold of clearance for travel beyond our consciousness time zone. It is spoken by Enoch that we shall be taken up through Arcturus which is the clearing level of our planetary creation through which we must pass to be cleansed and perfected before being programmed to go on to other levels of creation.” In short, Arcturus is a gateway between the earth plane and other levels of consciousness.
