The Astrological Significance Of The Pleiades
I recently watched this amazing dance performance in a YouTube video which reminded me of special set of stars, and the power they hold in determining our path through life. The dance, titled Pleiades, was inspired by the grouping of stars by the same name. Not many people know that the Pleiades are actually significant in astrological terms.
Pleiades means “Seven Sisters,” and it refers to a star cluster that exists on the shoulder of Taurus (the bull) located at 00°00′ Gemini. But to understand this blog article you do not need to understand the technical dynamics of the star positioning.
In folk understanding of the Seven Stars this particular grouping of stars is often associated with homosexuality. My personal viewpoint is that they are not associated with being gay, but may very well be a contributing factor to being gay. As far as I am concerned, this particular grouping of stars is more associated with creativity, vision, passion, and often times intuitive understanding.

That’s all well and good, but I am sure you are now probably asking, “What does it mean for me?” Well, if the position of Pleiades and its principal star Alcyone in your astrological birth chart is:
Rising, it means that you are likely artistic and intuitive. This can also show up in a negative way through criticism.
Mid-heaven, you are a person with strong vision about your personal future, as well as the potential of others. You have a desire to do the right thing, but be careful not to become too dogmatic about your path or the path of others.
Sun, you are a visionary. You are a big picture person, and can see things that others cannot see. Watch yourself though, because the overly confident visionary can promote arrogance.
Moon, you are a subculture fanatic. This means that you appreciate and find value in countercultural or subculture expressions. This is great, but be careful not to deviate so far that you isolate yourself from those you love.
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them ~ Marcus Aurelius
Mercury, you love the light, and are disheartened by the darker side of the human nature. You have an empathic and healing nature, and have a true desire to bring love and harmony to every situation. The biggest exhortation I can give with this one is to seek consciousness, or your empathic side may lead to depressive states.
Venus, you find value in ritual and patterns in life. You can see value in patterns, however it is important to make sure that your patterns do not overtake you and become obsessions or compulsions.
Mars, you are sensitive to social issues. You truly care about the personal well being of others, and desire change through social justice. It is important for you to recognize this about yourself so that you can promote social justice through the power of your conviction, rather than becoming a bleeding heart.

Best I’ve seen on the 7 sisters yet. My suspicion is that the utterly violent and ugly lore on this star cluster owes more to how feminine wisdom, the Earth, and humanity’s relationship to the stars have been disrupted by the endless wars of the last few thousand years, still puttering than it does to the actual energy offered by this region of space to the inhabitants of Earth. My Moon is 0 Gemini. I’ve experienced versions of all the curses, even if it was only watching a movie about them in my younger days. Yet there’s always treasure hidden in the crust of a curse. You seem to have based your ideas more on what you’ve observed in present time where feminine wisdom is still threatened, and simultaneously more powerful than it’s been for thousands of years. Different options appear if one’s Gemini isn’t stuck in the materialist boxes, willfully ignorant of our place in the grand scheme of the Cosmos. My Mercury is conjunct the Sun in Capricorn, 4th house. Probably helps with the discipline required to ground the ghosts of all the empire’s traumas, held in place by armored muscles in the humans who live out the curses.
I am a gay artistic man, born in January 93. I don’t know how this time of the year, as a Capricornus, make me feel so connected with my art, myself and people around me. Last year, at the beginning of march I was painting 2 new different canvases at the same time. Spent the rest of the year wondering how did I made such a connection with the universe but then this year, this week, I am connecting again feeling so free and inspired. Every blank sheet is welcoming me to a new adventure trough space and earth and maybe unknow worlds. My pineal gland guides me and I do also feel an almost insatiable sexual vibe. I am so grateful about this Pleiades alignment. Thank you for helping me to find answers!
