The Galactic Center (26 Sagittarius)http://www.horary.com/hhcrl/galact.htmlThe Center of our Milky Way Galaxy is proving to be a fascinating and practical addition to my clients' charts. Having studied it for 12 years now, my observations would indicate that it is probably the second strongest spot in any astrology chart, following the Sun. It is a stunning source of energy, motivation, and aspiration. The Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. It is the source of most of the gravitational energy present in our galaxy, and probably the source of most of the energy in any chart, transformed through our own Sun.

According to "Astrophysical Directions" by Michael and Margaret Erlewine, energy emerges from the GC over 2 entire degrees of longitude near the last degrees of Sagittarius. Perhaps it is even more than that.

The GC is so active that astrologers could think of it in planetary terms, since that is what astrologers seem most comfortable with. I look at the GC by house position in every chart, and the Sagittarian theme works well. Solar arcs and transits to this spot in every chart bring up travel, educational, spiritual and philosophical themes in client discussions. One of the most devastating times for a client has been Solar Arc Pluto square the natal GC. A profound crises of faith and belief occurs almost every time.
Another very curious impact of personal planets in aspect to the GC is the "other worldly" psychological impact these aspects seem to create. Some clients with aspects to the GC speak of not feeling 100 percent human, or not feeling they have had human ancestory. Their inner dynamic is centered around feeling as if they have come to this planet from some other place. They describe thinking like a galactic ambassador, and feeling as if they are here representing energies, knowledge and civilizations that are extraterrestrial in origin. One client with 26 degrees Sag rising, related nightly dreams in many different alien bodies.

http://www.scifi.com/spacescopes/notions/notions.980608.htmlSpeculation exists that the Galactic Center contains a black hole, "Sgr A," and by all accounts it probably does. But more significant to us is that the Galactic Center surges like a Roman candle of infrared energy. Emanations of infrared energy (IFR) blast down upon us and perform two primary functions on our awareness.
First, IFR opens up the subconscious mind. This opening asks us to release and forget emotional trauma. Of course, this also means relinquishing your greatest emotional grievances. Perhaps this contributes largely to the popular metaphysical model of cellular reprogramming. Second, IFR blasts open the root chakra in the energy system. This chakra releases the old, regenerates our energy, and lifts us off our duffs with renewed inspiration and a sense of real progress.

The Galactic Center acts like a satellite dish, directing divinely inspired information straight to the potentially receptive gray matter of our brains. If you believe in God, this might be the voice you hear. Regardless, within this connection you have the ability to pull down wild information which you would otherwise have no way of knowing.
The person who lines up with this open channel usually experiences bodily sensations of "knowing." Common symptoms include: radical changes of temperature in the hands, itching on the crown of the head or behind the ears, hot flushes (not flashes), and gurgling in the stomach (not burritos).
Then a voice begins, maybe just like the one that Green Bay Packer Reggie White hears all the time. The voice possesses its own tone, somewhat different from the nagging, judgmental voice most people carry around in their heads. When this voice kicks in, accompanied by the bodily sensations, odds are you're in the midst of conscious channeling from the place where new ideas live.
To The Core: Sagittarius Secrets Revealed, act twohttp://www.cainer.com/ericfrancis/dec9.htmlIn The Soul of the Sky, Sedgwick writes, "The Galactic Center's infrared jolt to the energy field naturally induces the release of past memories that preclude an individual from making progress in life. Consciousness constipation passes. Often, when an emotional download of healing data completes, the body sometimes follows with its own symptoms of letting go. Ranging from shaking, chills and even the elimination system moving into high gear, verification for the inner evolution appears.
"New emotional experiences may now replace previously retained ones. The mental barriers to understanding a new idea, receiving insight or just plain old 'getting it' gracefully yield under this influence. How is this process stimulated? Several possibilities exist. Good, old-fashioned meditation does the trick. However, as with so many galactic points, the meditative process offers so much more when maintaining a grounded quality. Simply sitting upon the ground, tail bone connected with the Earth does the trick. Mediation, if not grounded, does not support the Galactic Center. In fact, disconnected spiritual exercises make access to galactic points more difficult to integrate -- especially this one.
"The antidote to meditation comes through conscious channeling. Conscious channeling is exactly that: conscious. There's no place to go, no spirit guide to meet, no specific state of consciousness to achieve. Naturally, you possess instant access to the download of Divine Insight located at this specific frequency and direction in space at any time, and in blasts taking only fractions of a second. You do not even need to go through the added effort of figuring when the Galactic Center is overhead -- which is once a day. You simply need to clear your mental decks, set the agenda and then do the hardest part of any spiritual exercise: Listen. Often asking a question helps. Since the information freely rendered by the Galactic Center tends to be very progressive, emotionally confrontational and far out, perhaps a non-personal question serves the process better."

"Tolerance exudes from the Galactic Center. This point knows there exists no single, correct answer. Overcoming bias must result. The strength of one's prejudice, hatred and fear only indicates a dismal 'You Are Here', progress marker on the potential for human consciousness. Simply, sit and listen. Learn to receive the subtle essences of Heaven. Let the inspiration feed you the ways of making wisdom work within the everyday walking within the world. Of course, remember to clear the pier before offloading new goods from the freighter of previously foreign wisdom.
