The eclipse will be one corner of a square, or Grand Cross, each corner in each of the four Cardinal signs. Cardinal energy is active energy and solar eclipses are event related. Opposing the Eclipse in Capricorn, is Pluto at 6 degrees. The other axis of the cross consists of Uranus, 4 degrees Aries, and Saturn, 10 degrees Libra. *This is HUGE!

<p>Most galaxies have a single nucleus -- does this galaxy have four?  </p>
<p>The strange answer leads<br />
astronomers<br />
to conclude that the nucleus of the surrounding galaxy is not even visible in<br />
this image.  </p>
<p>The central<br />
cloverleaf is rather light emitted from a background </p>
<p>quasar.  </p>
<p>The gravitational field of the visible foreground<br />
galaxy<br />
breaks light<br />
from this distant<br />
quasar<br />
into four distinct images.  </p>
<p>The quasar must be<br />
properly aligned behind the center of a massive galaxy for a<br />
mirage like this to be evident.  </p>
<p>The general effect is known as<br />
gravitational lensing, and this specific case is known as the<br />
Einstein Cross.  </p>
<p>Stranger still, the images of the<br />
Einstein Cross vary in relative brightness,<br />
enhanced occasionally by the additional<br />
gravitational microlensing<br />
effect of specific stars in the foreground galaxy.  </p>
