The Astrology Of The Metal Monoliths

Is there an astrological meaning behind the two (so far) metal monoliths that have appeared in Utah and Romania? Yes, actually there is. I just crashed my astronomy program figuring it out.* Read on for a take that includes an ancient American people who mysteriously disappeared, a Uranian priestess, and, well, interstellar space.

Of course, it is highly likely to be a publicity stunt but weirdness would be on-brand for 2020. Personally, I prefer an alien geomancy/return of the Archean era gods storyline to an ad any day. But most importantly, they’re connected by star-lines. Which ones? Vega and Deneb, first magnitude stars of immense magical significance and history.  Along with Altair, they are connected to a beautiful ancient Chinese soulmating story and the old Egyptian creation myth – this puts a whole new spin on Mother Goose.

Altair is an Eagle or a Falcon and Vega means ‘falling vulture’ – before you freak, pull up: the Vulture-Goddess is the oldest of all, a precursor to Lion Goddess Sekhmet. Cayelin Castell, who has some epic resources here, points out that the scientific name for the Vulture is Cathartes Aura – the golden purifier. And Cygnus has a hybrid fan group – a vortex of aspirant incarnate Atlantis residents/starseeders and astrophysicists. It’s interesting how tribes deemed “primitive” managed to accurately detect and monitor the darker rifts and eddies in the river of stars we call the Milky Way. It wasn’t till super-quantum telescopes were invented that scientists were forced to concede many of these ‘superstitions’ were poetically describing sophisticated astral paradigms.  

First of all, the background astrology is that the next-era Jupiter-Saturn conjunction is imminent – on the Solstice. While these occur every 19.85 years, this is the closest since 1623 and the first in Aquarius since 1405.  It is an astronomical (the proximity!) and astrological phenom, initiating a new Air element cycle.

The horoscopes are talking a lot about this epochal hook-up but short version: new reign/super-amped new cycle of commerce/culture. The calendar year began with a big-deal alignment of Saturn-Pluto, flashed up three Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions, and wraps with Jupiter-Saturn.

It’s an ambitious undertaking: if it was an investment opportunity you wouldn’t know whether it was your cue to sell up and hide out in a secret valley town or buy in and rewire your toaster into a Dark Matter generator. So why monoliths? I say why not monoliths!? It gets better…

Both monoliths are at sites featuring petroglyphs and with a cool ancient history AND navigationally, the Utah site corresponds to Vega, in the constellation of Lyra and the second to Deneb Algebi in Cygnus – The Swan. And if you’re thinking these star systems sound familiar, it’s because I wrote about them in May. That post was whack, covering everything from Black Holes and the Tuatha De Danann to White Swan Myths and Streetlight Interference Syndrome.

But its key point was the mysterious asterism that consists of Vega, Deneb Algebi, and Altair. Altair is longitudinally at 1 Aquarius – aligned to the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction on the Solstice. So and yes – I am aware that if this is a Verizon mobile phone ad or an Elon Musk stunt, I’m going way over the top but get this – the part of Utah where the first metal monolith was found is renowned for its star-gazing and astronomically themed ultra-ancient ‘rock art.’ My fave is the “winged monster” art in Black Dragon Canyon that scientists keep trying to ‘debunk’. 

Some of it is by the Navajo people who are the original inhabitants but much of the petroglyphs are by the Anasazi – the name means “the Ancient Ones” and according to this Smithsonian museum piece, they just disappeared. Nobody knows why or where they went. But they did build an observatory.

Piatra Neamt – where the second metal monolith was found – also specializes in mysterious ancient rock art. I’d actually heard of this place and its enchantments as one of my favorite Surrealist artists – Victor Brauner – was born there. You can tell he was channeling something cool, right?  The original culture was goddess-centric, as evidenced by thousands of statues and pieces of artwork.

The Ancient Ones

They were called Dacians and get this: they revered the stars, had jewelry featuring the constellations AND  “Large circular metal disks were also found: 7 of them made from silver, some depicting female deities with wings on their back.” This article talks of bronze chariots with Swan art on them (Cygnus, again) and that their symbol was a Dragon but it was changed to a Wolf with a serpent tail, to pacify Christians, apparently.

They worshipped many of the same deities as the Ancient Egyptians cited above (minuscule explanation: the Titans) but most impressively:  At one point it was ruled by the “Priestess of the Uranian Sun – Dachia, the supreme judge and military leader.” Her fortress is near where the second monolith was found. One of their customs was that they burned down their houses every 60 years. Practicality? Or two Saturn Returns? Nobody is quite sure what happened to the Dacians either, btw.

So I went far more into this than my originally intended quick look at the astrology of the monoliths but I hope this was informative. And now guess what?!

If my hypothesis is correct, a third monolith would appear at Nabta Playa in Egypt. If you don’t know it, think African Stonehenge, only more ancient. Unfortunately, religious extremists have ruined much of it but it had temples to goddess Hathor and was probably aligned to Orion, Sirius, and Cygnus, the Swan. It makes a loose triangle with the Anasazi/Navajo land and the Dacian temple site.

But seriously, this unique alignment AND the Solstice behooves such precision and some degree of ritual. Thoughts?

*It’s been deadset cathartic figuring this s**t out. First I realized that my old maths teacher – an unironic Triple Taurus – was correct: trigonometry would have come in handy. Then, I had to confront my extreme cynicism. This is, I assumed, a publicity stunt.

So I dipped into the neon sewer of Crazy Days & Nights to see if they were the work of some Space-Dust deranged studio executive trying to beat up interest for the spin-off of a remade remake – visit their illicit lover in Salt City, a tax shelter in Transylvania, etc. But no. There don’t seem to be any 2021 new film releases that would fit this. Although...Dune?
