Posted 2 weeks ago by moordazzer

From December 18 to 20, the Sun crosses about 27° Sagittarius, the sky direction of the Milky Way’s Galactic Center. Astrologers read this as a brief window to realign with purpose. Treat it like a mini reset before the Winter Solstice on December 21. Choose one action that expresses your core. astro.com+2Astro-Psych Consultations+2

What is the “Galactic Center,” in simple terms?

Astronomers locate a supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, at our galaxy’s center, roughly 26,000 light-years away. That region marks the Galactic Center. It is not a single bright star, it is a dense radio and infrared source in Sagittarius. NASA Science+2NASA+2

Astrologers map that sky direction to about 26–27° Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac, so when the Sun reaches that degree each year, many speak of a “Galactic Center alignment.” astro.com

Why December 18–20 matters this year

Around December 18 to 20, the Sun’s longitude aligns with the Galactic Center zone near 27° Sagittarius. In intuitive astrology, this is a clarity window: identity, purpose, and truth themes rise to the surface. Use it as a tune-up before the U.S. Winter Solstice on December 21, 2025. astro.com+1

The core idea, translated for real life

  • The Sun = your core vitality. In astrology, the Sun symbolizes the most “you” part of you.
  • Galactic Center = signal boost. Think of a brief power-up that amplifies purpose, curiosity, and truth-telling.
  • Result = alignment. You feel nudged to act like yourself, not your fears.

Astronomy gives the backdrop, astrology gives the metaphor. Keep the two distinct, yet let both inspire your ritual and reflection. NASA Science+1
