[babygrl35]

Does anyone know anything or have any links about the planetary alignment that's supposed to happen May 5th? I've heard some stuff but it all seems kind of sketchy to me...

[Xander67]

as long as it is not a repeat of MAy 5 2000, im cool lol

7 planets in a straight line...... and of course they were in taurus.. :(

that was the scarriest summer of my life

[PoisonIvy]

All I know is that that is Cinqo De Mayo baby! _happydanc

[Xentor]

5.5.5, right? Would be great for numerologists.

[Valkie]

Gotta be a numerology thing... there's nothing special going on in the skies as far as I can see... but then again, I didn't look past stellinums. :D It's 6 days before my birthday... does that count as being special??

[Xander67]

5+5+5= 15 1+5=6

or you can do it the long way, 5+5+2+0+0+5=17 1+7=8

8 being the number of infinity, which correlates with the so called Infinity Portal which was opened last fall during the quintecence...

I am trying to find more data.

absolutely!

And apparently, Our sun, and the Sun of the Andromeda Galaxy will be conjunct.

Im seeing a significant Major cosmic occurance here, I will keep looking.

[PoisonIvy]

That's pretty cool! So what does this mean for us? Everyones not gonna start freakin' out are they? :devil:

[Xander67]

I sure hope not, lol,

[Kadynas]

No real big line ups that I could see... though most of the planets will be between Pisces and Taurus... Not sure if that will /look/ like there's a line in the sky or not... :lol:

Doesn't the Andromeda galaxy have billions of Suns, just like our own Milky Way?

[Xander67]

Even more amazing, two very special events will occur during this planetary line-up. On May 10, the planets Mars and Venus will appear to pass so close to one another that, to the naked eye, the Roman God of War and the Roman Goddess of Love will become one.

Earlier, on May 5, something even more spectacular will happen. The bright planets Mars, Saturn and Venus will group together to form a perfect equilateral triangle in the western sky. This dazzling configuration will be visible almost everywhere on Earth. In the Middle East, this pyramid-shaped specter will hang directly above Bethlehem.

i will find the page again with the andromeda info...

here is the passage..

MAY 5th ALMACH IN ANDROMEDA IS CONJUNCT THE SUN

Almach is the brightest star in the Andromedan Galaxy, it is sighted before the Sun on the horizon on this day. The Andromedan Galaxy is important to us as it is merging with our Galaxy and is also a key system for beings walking-in the human bodies to assist in the shift into the higher dimensions and Andromeda is in unified consciousness and aligned with divine will.



the whole page is rather long, but an interesting read.

Ah - well, I'm afraid the website has got itself very confused indeed!

There is indeed an Andromeda galaxy - about 2 million light years away from us, and visible as a smudge in the constellation of Andromeda. Al Mach is a star - in our *own* galaxy, the Milky Way, and it's about 356 light years away - so nowhere near the Andromeda Galaxy at all.

It's visible in the morning sky in the Northern Hemisphere at the moment before the Sun - but it isn't conjunct the Sun in any way at all. If you project it onto the ecliptic (this is the way most astrologers work out the position of fixed stars), it's at 14 Taurus 18. So it won't be conjunct the Sun until next month - and of course, any fixed star at all will be conjunct the Sun once a year.

I've put a picture of the constellation of Andromeda below with Al Mach and the Sun highlighted.

Of course this a special day - it's Keishin's *mumble, mumble* birthday!! :blowcandl

Even the planets are lining up to come to my party :lol:

[Xander67]

Heheh, some party eh?

Fluff, the site also said that Andromeda and the Milky way were "Merging"

guess that just goes to show you that you have to really be carefull about what you read.

I think the bit about our two galaxies merging is correct as far as we know - Andromeda is our nearest galaxy, and it's heading towards us. It will take a few billion years to merge - but does have one interesting side-effect. Until recently, it was generally reckoned that our Sun is middle-aged. It's been shining for about 5 billion years, and should have another 5 billion to go before it burns itself out. However, the Andromeda galaxy could merge with ours before then, and we don't really know what will happen and whether this will have a big impact on our Sun. If so, we may only have a couple of billion years left!

There's an article about this here:

http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/astronomy/galaxy_collides_020507-1.html

The mistake on the website is a common one - because scientists give the same name to two different things. The Milky Way is the galaxy we live in - it contains about 100 billion stars, of which our Sun is just one. All the stars we can see in the sky are in our own galaxy - and the white band we see that people call "the Milky Way" is because we're looking towards the centre of our galaxy, and there are just so many stars that it looks like a white band. But looking at *any* star in the sky - say the stars of the Great Bear / Plough / Big Dipper, or Orion - these stars are also in our own galaxy. In fact, they're relatively nearby stars (that's how we can see them with the naked eye), typically less than 300 light years away. This is truly "local" - our galaxy is 100,000 light years across!

Now, the Andromeda galaxy is visible as a tiny smudge in the sky near the Andromeda constellation. However, that smudge is actually a whole galaxy, with about 100 billion stars of its own in it - and much, much farther away than any of the stars that we can see in the constellation of Andromeda itself. Calling it "Andromeda" was probably a bad idea, because it means there are two different things with the same name - one is a "nearby" constellation of a few stars, each between 100 and 400 light years away; the other is an entire galaxy about 2 million light years away. To avoid confusion (but too late), galaxies are given "M-numbers". The Andromeda galaxy is also called M31.

Makes one wonder what our solar return charts are going to bring...

[KEishin]

I know right?

I ran my transits for this year, but have been putting off my solar return. ;)

The Andromeda galaxy has more than one sun, unless you are referring to a specific solar system within the andromeda galaxy, or even to the center of the Andromeda galaxy...
