Algol [bePer], amazing ability to reorient oneself between two worlds

Algol [Beta Persei, bePer, β Per] is the 2nd brightest star in the constellation Perseus (The Hero), with a visual magnitude of +2.09. It is located at a distance of 92 light years from the sun, although 7 million years ago it passed only 10 light years from the solar system, showing an apparent magnitude of -2.5.

The name Algol derives from the Arabic رأس الغول "Ra's al-ghūl", meaning 'Head of the Devil' (al-ghūl). In the Hebrew folklore, Algol was called "Rōsh ha Sāṭān", meaning 'Head of Satan'; in Latin was called "Caput Larvae", meaning 'Head of the Spectrum'; and in Chinese was called 大 陵 'Dà Líng wu', meaning 'The Fifth Star of the Mausoleum'.

It is a stellar system formed by three stars (with a total mass of 6 solar masses), of which two of them (separated by only 0.06 AU) are eclipsing binaries because they are oriented in the same orbital plane as the Earth, which makes that the apparent magnitude of Algo oscillates periodically between 2.3 and 3.5 every 2 days. The third star is at an average distance of 2.69 AU from the pair and its orbital period is 1.7 years.

The Roche lobe is the gravitational zone between binary stars. The mass transfer from one star to the other occurs, if they are close enough each other, when the most massive star becomes a subgiant, expanding beyond the limit, so that most of its mass passes to be retained in the gravitational zone of the smaller star.

Photometric observations were carried out in the years 1667, 1783, 1881, 1957, 1980, 1985, 1989, 1993, 1995, 1998, 2006, 2010 and 2012.

It is located in the longitude  56.4º (26º26' Taurus; (penta)cuartioctile@56º15', 0º11' orb), and latitude  22.4º (22º26' Aries; semioctile 22º30', 0º04' orb).

And in the right ascension  47.0º (17º 3' 2nd House; (tri)trevigintile@46º57', 0º06' orb; golden aspect 47º30' [=golden aspect 137º30' > 0º Capricorn], 0º27' orb) and declination  41.0º (10º57' 2nd House; novile 40º, 0º57' orb).

Algol is a star that reminds the quality of the planet Uranus. The symbolic image 'head of the spectrum' refers to another plane of experience, beyond life. In science fiction or fantasy movies, this symbolism is expressed through portals to other worlds or to other epoch of history or to the future; either through the entrance into an avatar body, or through the exchange of bodies between two people.

Algol is related with an amazing ability to reorient oneself between two worlds, such as between two very different geographical places or between two very different lifestyles.

Julianna Margulies, actress of the TV series "The Good Wife" (2009), has Algol in Taurus (cusp of the 1st Moon-Node House) in conjunction with Ceres and the Lunar Node, and in sextile with Chiron in Pisces (3rd Moon-Node House).

Heather Locklear, actress of the movies "The Perfect Man" (2005) and "Flirting With Forty" (2008), has Algol in Taurus (cusp of the 4th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with Ceres; in quincunx with Mars in Libra (cusp of the 11th nodal house); and in square with the Moon-Node in Leo (cusp of the 1st Moon-Node House).

Robin Wright, actress of the movie "Message in a Bottle" (1999), has Algol in Taurus (cusp of the 1st Moon-Node House) in conjunction with the Moon-Node, and semisextile with Jupiter in Gemini (12th Moon-Node House).

Miley Cyrus, actress of the movie "Hannah Montana - The movie" (2009), has Algol in Taurus (7th Moon-Node House) in opposition to the Moon and Mercury, which are in trine with Mars in Cancer (5th Moon-Node House).

Alejandro Amenabar, director of the movie "Abre los ojos" (1998) [original movie of the remake "Vanilla Sky" (2001)], has Algol in Taurus (10th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with Venus.

M87, time-space connections

 
M87 (also known as Messier 87, Virgo A or NGC 4486) is a supergiant elliptical galaxy. It was discovered in 1781. At the core is a supermassive black hole, which forms the primary component of an active galactic nucleus. There are important observations in the years 1918, 1919, 1922, 1956, 1999 and 2006.

In the year 1999, from images taken by the Hubble Telescope, the speed of the jet of M87 was measured, resulting in relativistic terms, four to six times the speed of light.

Gamma rays are the most energetic in the electromagnetic spectrum: more than a million times more powerful than visible light. The flow of gamma rays from M87 has been increasing since the year 1999 until reaching a climax in 2006, with an intensity about 50 times higher, moment from which it has been decreasing considerably.


Einstein-Rosen Bridges (wormholes)

"Il Mare" is a 2000 South Korean film, starring Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Jung-jae. The title, Il Mare, means 'The Sea' in Italian, and is the name of the seaside house which is the setting of the story. The Korean title, siworae is the Korean pronunciation of Chinese characters "時越愛," which means "time-transcending love." The two protagonists both live there two years apart in time, but are able to communicate through a mysterious post box. The film was remade by Warner Brothers starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves and released in 2006 as 'The Lake House'." (Wikipedia: Il Mare)

The observations of the supermassive black hole in M87 in the years 1999 and 2006, clashed with movies like "The Kid" (2000), "Family Man" (2000), "Pay it Forward" (2000), "Frequency" (2000), "The Lake House" (2006, remake of "Il Mare" South Korean film of 2000), "Déjà vu" (2006), "Tomb Raider: Legend" (PS2, 2006), showing moments that seem in a row, but in fact they are very separate from one another. The almost instantaneous view of M87's time-space connections, makes it possible to perceive very clearly how possible futures vary according to the actions that are carried out in the present, or vice versa, how the actions in the past have consequences in the future.

At the intro of the video game "Tomb Raider: Legend" (PS2, 2006), there is a flashback sequence in which Lara appears, as a nine years girl, traveling with her mother in a small plane colliding in the Himalayas, leaving them as the only two survivors. After taking shelter in the ruins of an ancient temple, Lara, while looking for firewood, discovers an ornate stone that holds a sword. Without realizing it, she activates ancient artifact, through which a light can be seen. Her mother speaks to someone on the other side of the portal until she removes the sword from the stone and disappears in the middle of a flash of light, in front of Lara's eyes, her little daughter.

"Tomb Raider Legend" (PS2, 2006) [1]

At the end of the video game, Lara, age about twenty-one, uses the Excalibur sword to reopen the portal and discover what happened to her mother. She realizes that the portal expands time and that she is seeing her mother, on the other side of the portal, moments before her disappearance. She tries to speak to her by saying "I am Lara, your daughter", but her mother does not recognize her as an adult and believes, instead, that she refers to her little daughter who is right nearby. At that moment, Amanda wake up and shouts to Lara: "Pull out the sword, or else, the portal will explode!". Lara's mother hears this from the other side of the portal and --thinking she was telling to her-- pulls out the sword, concerned about her little daughter. Doing so, she activates the transfer mechanism and disappears. Amanda criticizes Lara for missing the opportunity to use the portal. While Lara, very angry, realizes that it was Amanda, involuntarily, responsible for the apparent loop of causality that fell on her mother.

Galactic Center, the Higher Self

Saturn is the physical self, the Moon is the emotional self and the Sun is the mental self. They are the three centers of consciousness that direct the energy of the tool planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and the main asteroid belt).


The Galactic Center is the Higher Self, the center of consciousness that directs the energy of the spiritual planets (Uranus, Neptune and the transneptunian objects).


Power of the High (image of the 34th hexagram of I-Ching)

The thunder, the electric force, rises in spring towards the high. This movement is in harmony with the trend of Heaven. Is, then, a movement that coincide with Heaven, circumstance that originates high power. But the true greatness is found in being in harmony with what is right. Therefore the noble, during times of high power, makes sure in not doing anything that does not reconcile with keeping order. (Richard Wilhelm, 1923; "I CHING. Book of Changes")

Galactic Center, the Development Plan designed by the Soul

The Galactic Center represents what Jung described as the Self, which emerges from the totality of the psyche (subconscious, conscious, superconscious states) and at the same time controls and reorganizes the activity of the parts. Due to the activity of the Self is in some way aware, it is also usually called Higher Self or Higher Consciousness. It is the organizer center that regulates the psychic development, through which occurs the process of individuation.

The Galactic Center also represents what Annie Marquier described as the Soul, which is responsible for attracting and coordinating the various elements of our lives in accordance with the Plan of Individual Development. This plan is designed depending on our karmic past and our future potential, and is updated at any moment depending on the learning process.
