Leviathan

nobody ever talks about Livyatan Melvillei (named after the biblical Leviathan and author Herman Melville), my favourite murder-whale:

this fellow, with the teeth, comes from an extinct group of sperm whales that scientists refer to as "mega-raptorial" or "hyper-predatory", because they're not allowed to call them "the bloody-jawed terrors of the ancient deeps".

but I can.

look at that skull, those jaws. those teeth are the largest of any toothed predator ever. that guy ate everything.

Livyatan shared an ocean with Otodus megalodon, but Livyatan was only a bit smaller*, was smarter (I can't find exact figures, but a brain maybe 4-5 times the size of a human), and if they hunted in packs like orcas - they're so big that they probably didn't, but MY GOD - then even somewhat-grown megalodon could have potentially been on the menu.

* the exact size of megalodon is uncertain! Livyatan was likely almost as big as a modern sperm whale.

but mostly Livyatan would have fed on baleen whales, and assorted smaller prey. and it would have needed to eat a LOT.

in modern sperm whales the spermaceti organ (melon) that fits in the weird scoop visible on the top of the skull can produce focused sonar waves louder than a jet engine - potentially loud enough to harm or even kill a human diver. the organ and the surrounding skull are also structured to allow ramming attacks - pissed-off sperm whales have sunk boats five times their own mass. Livyatan didn't have as impressive a dome, but would still have had powerful echolocation, and also appears to have had adaptations for ramming, because I guess that sometimes it got bored of murdering with its teeth alone.

tl;dr we are only able to go in the oceans because the rightful owners died out at the end of the Miocene when they ran out of things to murder. also we should probably be nicer to our contemporary sperm whale species in case they ever decide to evolve back.

Do you like Eurovision?

Of course you do

Would you like to read a book whose plot is basically Eurovision in space?

Of course you would

Allow me to introduce...

Space Opera by Catherynne M. Valente is exactly that: Eurovision in space. It's called the Metagalactic Grand Prix, and it's an intergalactic song contest where all sapient species must sing. After a huge war almost tore the galaxy apart they came up with the Metagalactic Grand Prix in order to bring everyone together in the spirit of peace. Yes, just like in Eurovision. The Metagalactic Grand Prix is meant to foment unity and understanding. It's also and all out galactic glittery extravaganza. And it's also how they decide if a species is sapient or not (after all, music is a language that we all know how to speak*). This year humanity is brought into the intergalactic stage, and our sapience is in question, so we gotta send our best to space Eurovision to prove we don't deserve to be wiped out. Our best, however, happen to be dead or unavailable, so the chosen ones end up being a one-hit-wonder glamrock band called Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes. But everything should be fine, right? After all, all they need to do to save Earth is... not end up in last place and avoid being killed until the actual show starts.

This book is a fun, glittery space opera (ba dum tss) filled with Eurovision references (the chapters are all titled after Eurovision songs!) that is an absolute must-read for any Eurovision fans

*Yes, that's a direct quote from the 2016 Eurovision Interval Act song Story of ESC (What is Eurovision?), sung by Måns Zelmerlöw and Petra Mede

Regulus Starseeds (The Family of Archangel Raphael)

Starseed's are advanced hybrid human beings that originate as a celestial light source of consciousness from star systems outside of our solar sun, representing the expansional extraterrestrial hosted platforms of their consciousness, and capacities to hold greater missions on Earth not defined by human limitations.

*Regulus Starseeds*

Regulus is one of the most notable fixed stars out of the four fixed Royal stars of Persia called The Watchers.

Regulus runs along the Leo degrees and is known as the "Watcher of the North" since this origin sits North and center of the equatorial plane.

This origin is apart of the guardian consciousness and holds the ARC portal system which allows other origins to enter in and out of our time matrix from the metagalactic core.

Regulus is the direct soul origin and lineage of Archangel Raphael (no wonder Leo's are so confident and proud! <3) This origin is called The Holy Healer; embodying the traits of expanded heart consciousness, clearing for the collective, communion, Earth force, empathy, forgiveness, acceptance, and compassion.

If this is your origin- Archangel Raphael has incarnated within you and will be your guide and strength during this lifetime. This radial light signature will accompany you throughout your entire incarnation until your life contract is up.

This origin was the most influential during the 1st seedings of Atlantis.

Blessed with qualities of self-worth, intelligence, strategy, status, ambition, skill, and abundance.

A very wise Starseed origin; expressing the strategy of Mercury, the pride of the Sun, and maternal love from Hydra along the equatorial plane of Gaia.

This origins guiding celestial source is the original star of power. They possess the qualities of power, status, ambition, pride, beauty, vanity, intelligence, strategy, psychic gifts, and royalty.

They have a powerful bloodline. More so than any other Starseed origin, and they are highly and powerfully protected by their ancestors in the spirit/psychic realms.

Many Regulus Starseeds are also of Hydra origin and many have Hydra ancestors in the spirit realms. Lmao, do not piss off the Hydra ancestors. Anyone who crosses a Regulus Starseed receives instant karma.

The collective mission of a Regulus Starseed origin is more so about embracing their power and confidence. While doing this they shine a light on the collective in the form of energetic wavelengths and this helps others also embrace their own power and confidence. Every origin holds a mission towards healing humanity and this is that of a Regulus Starseed. This is an Archangel origin so they are extremely powerful warrior spirits. Embracing their own power gives power to others and ultimately- this is their own power.

*Side Notes*

This origin is among the rarest of Starseed origins currently incarnated. (Yes, Leo's - you're rare! So stand up proud.) This origin is among the least common next to the Sagittarius A Incarnates. It's not about the zodiac sign Leo as much as it is the degrees in which this origin runs. There's a short degree window to be of true Regulus origin.

Archangel Michael is represented by the zodiac sign Leo. Some believe that this origin is actually a hybrid origin of Michael/Raphael. Some also believe that this is Michael's/The Blue Rays/Aldebaran origin and that there was some sort of mix up. Aldebaran (The Blue Rays/The Family of Archangel Michael) is said to run along the Taurus degrees. But some believe that it is Raphael that runs along the Taurus degrees instead, and Michael along the Leo. Part of this does make sense. Everything Michael stands for screams Leo/Regulus energy. Everything Raphael stands for screams Taurus energy. However, one of the reasons that The Blue Rays were given their name is because they are also of Pleiadean lineage. Pleiades runs along the Aries/Taurus degrees. So, really this is just a theory. Whatever resonates best with you.

This origin is known for being tall in height. All Archangel origins are known for this, though.

Surprisingly, they're known for having a darker vibe. Despite being ruled by the Sun. Similar to Hydra though, their darker vibe is exterior and they're all light within.

I'd assume they're less traumatized than Hydra origins though. Regulus origins have worked through most of the generational trauma/curses of Hydra Starseeds, so they're a bit more evolved in this way when it comes to balancing out their light and darkness. This is especially true if both Hydra and Regulus origins are present in the chart. Unless Hydra is placed in the 12th house; then some healing needs to be done. The 12th house shows you where you need to heal within your planets, but it also connects you to higher dimensions through origins placed here.

Do you have a Regulus origin in your chart? If so, where is it located? Note below! Mine's found in my Western chart, aligned with my Sun, Rising, and Moon.

*Starseed origin chart readings are as follows*

Full Inner Planetary Starseed Origin Reading: for $30 you will receive a list of each Starseed origin that is found within your astrological planets (along with any alignments found within your North/South Node, Lilith, Chiron, ASC, Midheaven, Fortune, Vertex, ect.) . You will also receive a full detailed description of where each Starseed origin is located at in your natal chart and what this means for you; along with a detailed description of the meaning behind each Starseed origin, including pictures. For this reading it is required that you provide your exact time and date of birth (M/D/Y) along with birth location. I will use this information and provide you with your alignments based on both your Sidereal/Vedic and Tropical/Western Astrology charts. The timing for this reading can range anywhere between 1-3 days due to the thoroughness of the reading.

Half Inner Planetary Starseed Origin Reading: for $20 you will receive a list of each Starseed origin that is found within your astrological planets (along with any alignments found within your North/South Node, Lilith, Chiron, ASC, Midheaven, Fortune, Vertex, ect.) along with a detailed description of the meaning behind each Starseed origin, including pictures. You will not receive a detailed description of where each origin is located and what it means for you as you would with the Full Inner Planetary Starseed Origin Reading. For this reading it is also required that you provide your exact time and date of birth (M/D/Y) along with your birth location. I will use this information and provide you with your alignments based on both your Sidereal/Vedic and Tropical/Western Astrology charts. The timing for this reading is usually within the same day requested.

Planetary Degree and House Origin Reading: for $30 you will receive a list of each Starseed origin that is found in your astrological chart along with a detailed description of the meaning behind each Starseed origin, including pictures. This reading will tell you what Starseed origin your planets are connected to through house/degree placements. (Ex: having Mars in Cancer to the 29 degree means that your Mars is in alignment with Hydra. Having Mars in Cancer to the 29 degree while also having Mars in 12th house means that Mars is now overlapping the Andromeda Starseed origin as the Andromeda Galaxy is connected to the 12th house and runs along 29 degree Aquarius before moving into Pisces. Meaning that since Mars is positioned in the 12th house while also being in 29 degree Cancer, Mars is in alignment with both Hydra and Andromeda.) For this reading it is also required that you provide your exact time and date of birth (M/D/Y) along with your birth location. I will use this information and provide you with your alignments based on both your Sidereal/Vedic and Tropical/Western Astrology charts. The timing for this reading is usually within the same day requested.

Astrological House and Planetary Aspect Starseed Origin Reading: for $50 you will receive a list of each Starseed origin that is found throughout your astrological houses (house 1-12) and planetary aspects (ex: Jupiter trine Neptune, with Jupiter being in alignment with Aldebaran/The Blue Rays (The Family of Archangel Michael) and Neptune being in alignment with Lyra) along with a detailed description behind what each house/planetary aspect origin represents and the meaning behind each Starseed origin, including pictures. For this reading it is also required that you provide your exact time and date of birth (M/D/Y) along with your birth location. I will use this information and provide you with your alignments based on both your Sidereal/Vedic and Tropical/Western Astrology charts. The timing for this reading can range anywhere between 1-3 days due to the thoroughness of the reading.

Full Starseed Origin Chart Reading: for $80 this is a combination of the Full Inner Planetary Origin Reading, Planetary Degree/House, and the Astrological House and Planetary Aspect Origin reading.

M100 — Mirror Galaxy

We cannot see our own Galaxy — the Milky Way — from the outside, and there is nothing we can do with this. But we can look at other galaxies — more or less similar to our star city, and draw indirect conclusions about its structure. Fortunately, there are plenty of galaxies around us suitable for such study.

One of these galaxies — very similar to the Milky Way, at least in appearance, is the M100 galaxy, also known as NGC 4321, or as the “Mirror Galaxy” (not to be confused with the popular smartphone from Samsung!)

If someone intelligent from the M100 galaxy and equipped with a suitable optical instrument looked in our direction, it is quite possible that they would see the same thing that we see — practically their own reflection (perhaps that is why they called this galaxy “Mirror”). But it is worth making a clarification that our Galaxy is slightly more populated with stars (more than 200 billion) than its “mirror image” (about 100 billion stars). But both galaxies are almost equal in size — about 100 thousand light years across.

M100 has an intermediate position between those galaxies that we consider close and those that are considered already very distant. There are approximately 55 million light years of intergalactic void between us. But still, from such a distance, astronomers managed to resolve the outer regions of the spiral arms into individual stars, and find among them several variable stars — Cepheids, and from the Cepheids they were already able to determine the distance to the “Mirror Galaxy”. It does not correspond to the one previously determined by its redshift — the error was approximately 2 times. And this once again warns us that the speed of galaxy receding is a Universal trend, and not a strict law, and we can only rely on this amazing phenomenon on a metagalactic scale.

Looking at the M100 galaxy, we see one of the largest galaxies in the Virgo cluster, although cartographically this galaxy is located in the constellation Coma Berenices, but not far from the border with Virgo, and galaxies and their clusters know nothing about our constellations and their boundaries, because all the stars of our constellations belong to our Galaxy — the Milky Way. It turns out that all other galaxies are located behind all the constellations… but this is, well, a philosophical digression.

There is another cluster of galaxies in the constellation Coma Berenices — it is even called a Supercluster. But it is several times farther from us than the Virgo cluster (which contains the heroine of today’s story — the M100 galaxy), and is several times more populated by galaxies that, in ground-based and space telescopes, no longer break up into individual stars — they are much more difficult for us to study . And the galaxies of the Virgo cluster (and in particular the “Mirror Galaxy”) are still quite simple to study. And this is not surprising, because we ourselves — the Milky Way Galaxy and the surrounding Local Group Galaxies — also belong to the Virgo cluster. True, it is believed that we “live” on the very edge of this agglomeration of stellar cities.

The M100 galaxy has been known to humanity for just over two centuries. Its discoverer is considered to be the French astronomer Pierre Mechain, who was only a month ahead of Charles Messier with the discovery of this nebulous-looking object. For telescopes of that time, this was an object close to the limit of visibility. And for a long time, astronomers could not discern anything but a foggy spot here. Nowadays this galaxy is accessible for observation with the simplest telescopes. But to discern its spiral structure, you need a professional instrument, and dividing it into individual stars (and then only in places) is only possible with such powerful observational instruments as the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb SpaceTelescope.

However, over the last century, this galaxy has pleased astronomers with numerous supernova explosions, which provided additional information about this galaxy and made it possible to clarify the distance to it. According to various sources, during this period from 5 to 7 supernovae were observed here — this is almost a record frequency of outbreaks… although this may just be luck.

At the same time, the galaxy M100 has very high core activity, which apparently indicates the presence of a supermassive black hole. According to some estimates, its mass can be about 5 million solar masses — this practically corresponds to the mass of the black hole that exists in the center of the Milky Way. But our galactic black hole is “dormant,” and the “mirror” one has awakened and is actively absorbing interstellar gas and dust, partially spewing it outward, creating a strong “stellar wind” that drives a shock wave ahead of itself. The immediate consequences of such activity are very active star formation (maybe that’s why there are many supernovae in a row — this is an echo of its beginning, when many suddenly born giant stars have already completed their stellar journey). The more distant consequences of the activity of the galactic core will lead to the depletion of hydrogen in the “Mirror Galaxy”, and star formation in it will come to naught.

The M100 galaxy has at least two companion dwarf elliptical galaxies, which makes it similar to the Andromeda Galaxy. Although, in this case, most likely, these satellites in the past had their own spiral branches, but were mercilessly gnawed by the strong gravity of the “Mirror Galaxy”.

A century ago, the Sentience Wars tore the galaxy apart and nearly ended the entire concept of intelligent space-faring life. In the aftermath, a curious tradition was invented-something to cheer up everyone who was left and bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity, and understanding.

Once every cycle, the civilizations gather for the Metagalactic Grand Prix – part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past. Instead of competing in orbital combat, the powerful species that survived face off in a competition of song, dance, or whatever can be physically performed in an intergalactic talent show. The stakes are high for this new game, and everyone is forced to compete.

This year, though, humankind has discovered the enormous universe. And while they expected to discover a grand drama of diplomacy, gunships, wormholes, and stoic councils of aliens, they have instead found glitter, lipstick and electric guitars. Mankind will not get to fight for its destiny – they must sing.

A one-hit-wonder band of human musicians, dancers and roadies from London – Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes – have been chosen to represent Earth on the greatest stage in the galaxy. And the fate of their species lies in their ability to rock.

REVIEW: Space Oddity by Catherynne M. Valente

Series: Space Opera #2

Published: September 2024, Simon & Schuster (Saga Press)

Genres: Science Fiction / Space Opera, Science Fiction / Alien Contact, Science Fiction / Humorous

Summary: The Metagalactic Grand Prix—part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past returns and the fate of the Earth is once again threatened. The civilizations opposed to humanity have been plotting and want to take down the upstarts. Can humanity rise again in this sequel to the beloved Hugo­ Award–nominated national bestselling Space Opera by New York Times bestselling author Catherynne M. Valente?

This review contains spoilers for the ending of Space Opera and minor spoilers for Space Oddity.

Truthfully speaking, I didn’t find myself with a burning need for a sequel when I finished reading Space Opera—yet Space Oddity remained one of my most anticipated books of 2024, if only because I had total faith in Catherynne M. Valente to deliver Good Vibes and/or Hilarious Insanity like no other author.

In this sequel that’s lowkey a meta commentary on the nature of sequels (“This time it will be different!”), we return to the Metagalactic Grand Prix, an intergalactic Eurovision-esque singing competition between countless species that determines everything from trade deals to resource allocations to potential wars to music chart-toppers.

Last year, humanity eked out a respectable tenth place in our first showing. This year, we’ve graduated from newbie, and soon become escort to a newly discovered species.

Where other novels may treat the Dreaded Exposition like a concert opener—quality may vary from offensively bad to mildly boring to surprisingly delightful, but nevertheless it’s the thing you have to sit through to get to the thing you actually paid money for—subtly weaving it through the text so as not to drag down the pace or distract from the plot, Valente’s exposition is the headlining star of the show—all the bloody intergalactic history and weird alien biology and that one ranting monologue about the Frankenstein monster that is the English language, sketched in run-on sentences that can span a whole paragraph, if not multiple pages.

While I was thoroughly amused by Valente’s bombastically stylistic writing (and her ability to build entire alien societies around a single pun), the absolute heart of this book for me is the Absolute Zeroes.

Good News: While lead singer Decibel Jones is the frontman of the band and the book, Space Oddity is actually, stealthily, a story about Fridged Woman–turned-paradox Mira Wonderful Star, and any time spent with Mira Wonderful Star is, well, Wonderful. It’s especially touching when Valente contrasts Dess’s washed-up ennui about placing tenth in the Grand Prix with Mira’s punk-hope enthusiasm about touring and exploring the galaxy.

Bad news: I probably took at least half a star off when I learned that Oort St. Ultraviolet, man-of-every-instrument and my favourite Absolute Zero, is relegated to a background character. (We’ve had a Decibel and Oort book. We’ve had a Decibel and Mira book. Am I wishing for a third book that’s all Mira and Oort? Yes.)

Space Oddity is an glitter-filled, imaginative romp that matches the frenetic energy of its predecessor. Valente’s maximalist writing style makes even the dullest topic (e.g. a never-ending intergalactic meeting that could’ve been an email) a sensory and humorous delight. But while Space Opera skillfully married the Absolute Zeroes’ sordid histories and personal hang-ups with grand intergalactic stakes, the finale of Oddity didn’t quite pack the same emotional punch—though, I’ll admit, I audibly gasped and shook my fist at the sky (affectionate) when I read that reveal about the Empty.

Kantarians

The Mother Arc of Covenant Stargate system was purposed for the transiting of an assortment of stuck or damaged consciousness bodies through the Aqua portals, in order to begin the foundations for rebuilding the KA-TA-RA Kantarian Dragon ring portal system.

Our Universe was invaded when the 8D layers of the Metagalactic Core were attacked by black hole entities that are a fallen species that hybridized with advanced AI technological systems, many of whom joined together later on to form the NAA. Obviously, given Ezekiel’s placement as a Christos Solar Rod principle in the Universal architecture as an Amethyst Order Dragon King along with his Gaian Kantarian spiritual family identity, he fell along with the rest of angelic humanity with his consciousness body parts strewn across many dimensions. 

Ezekiel’s individual identity had access to his Amethyst Order Holy Father Kantarian solar dragon body memories from Gaia. Ezekiel’s Amethyst Order Father of Dragons Kantarian body became embedded in the Earth as the result of the Electric Wars and Fall of the Gaian Matrix, in which the advanced AI beast machinery from the black hole system had infected the 8D Galactic Core.

Alright obviously the plot has to include a journey around the (eurovision) world. Undertaken by a ragtag group of humans and aliens looking for someone to replace Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes in the next Metagalactic Grand Prix

Anyway I'm tempted to nominate "Tausend Fenster" for Austria but I'll leave that decision to the followers and mutuals-in-law who might have more informed opinions

hey tumblr let's make a eurovision jukebox musical, one song from each country, no winners allowed

I don't know the plot yet but on behalf of Norway I nominate this glorious quintessence of the eighties

Sidereal/Tropical Planetary Starseed Origin Reading ($30)

Starseed's are advanced hybrid human beings that originate as a celestial light source of consciousness from star systems outside of our solar sun, representing the expansional extraterrestrial hosted platforms of their consciousness, and capacities to hold greater missions on Earth not defined by human limitations.

It's important to note that you can tune into any Starseed origin. If you relate more to an origin that's not in your chart you can still hone the energy of this origin. The origins found in your chart are related to your upmost spiritual mission in this incarnation and depending on where they are located that origin will be your most supreme mission and guiding light force within the particular sign/house/planet.

Attached above is a snippet of my Western/Tropical Astrological chart. I will be using both my Sidereal and Western chart as an example for what each reading includes. The origins of my Sidereal chart are discussed in my previous post. I will also be including examples of each of my charts relating to other readings such as: The Planetary Degree and House Origin Reading ($30), Planetary Aspect Starseed Origin Reading ($50), and The Full Starseed Origin Reading ($80) I offer is a combination of these three. I determined the prices based on how long each reading takes and how much work goes into it.

If you are interested in one of these readings please email harlronicareads@gmail.com

Your Western Astrology Chart will differ from your Sidereal/Vedic. Some relate more to their Western chart which is why I include readings for both. Most astrologists and chart readers don't speak on or bother with your Sidereal/Vedic, but it is your SIdereal/Vedic that is proven most accurate to your Starseed origins. This is due to the fact that your Sidereal chart is based on actual origin/degree points at the time of your birth. Whereas your Western chart is based on a fixed astrology system that doesn't take into account the actual position of the sun and other planets at the time of your birth. It's based on a fixed point where the sun and other planets are said to always be, but this is not accurate because the astrological planetary degrees/positions are always changing. Sidereal/Vedic takes this into account, Western Astrology does not. However, some people still find themselves relating to their Western chart more. They are both accurate and it highly depends on what resonates best with you. Sidereal/Vedic is also considered to be your highest, most purest parallel version of yourself. Western/Tropical deals a lot with the exterior, I believe. Usually your Sidereal/Vedic and Western/Tropical charts are very similar in regards to your fixed Starseed origins though. If you want to rely on your Western/Tropical for personality placements and predictions that's understandable. But, I believe relying on Sidereal/Vedic for fixed Starseed origins is going to provide you with the most accurate results. Your fixed Starseed origins within your astrological houses through 2-12 will be most accurate using your Western chart.

The following is the reading you would receive based on your Sidereal and Western chart in The Planetary Starseed Origin Reading.

Found in my Western/Tropical chart are six Starseed alignments.

Regulus (The Family of Archangel Raphael)

Hydra

Orion

Shaula

Aquila/Altair

Pleiades

*Regulus (The Family of Archangel Raphael)*

I have four alignments with The Family of Raphael. This origin is in direct alignment with my astrological Sun, Moon, ASC (Ascendant/Rising sign), and Fortune.

The Family of Raphael are Emerald Ray Descendants of the First Order Founder Ray of the Melchizedek Elohim grail line. Your Regulus Origin is a part of the guardian consciousness and holds the ARC portal system which allows many races to enter into and out of our time matrix from the metagalactic core. Regulus is the divine radial light source of Archangel Raphael and this origin is one of the most notable fixed stars out of the four fixed stars of Perisa called the Watchers. The Holy Healer embodies the illuminated qualities of expanded heart consciousness, clearing for the collective, communion, earth force, empathy, forgiveness, acceptance, and compassion. A Regulus Starseed origin indicates that you have incarnated with Archangel Raphael during this lifetime. This angel is within your mythology and equally as your guide and strength. This radial light signature will accompany your entire journey from your first breath until your life contract is up. 

(The reading also includes what each planetary origin means for you. I will not be including these in this post because it would be far too long.)

*Hydra*

I have three alignments with Hydra. This origin is in direct alignment with my astrological Mercury, Mars, and North Node.

Your Hydra Starseed Origin carries the power of the serpent lineage. Here lies every creation story of serpent goddesses and rainbow serpent mythology ever told throughout human history as this origin carries the most primal life force representing the sacral chakra of the world, Lake Titicaca, Peru. As a Hydra Starseed the seduction of Mother Earth's identity as the Alpha-Omega rings as your guiding force to life itself. Your lineage and grail line is pagan and carries the soul mythology and expression of deep divine feminine wounds and etheric ancestral fragmentation for over 2000 years of divinity being taken and removed. Your pain runs deep in ways that you may not be able to fully express as you will continually grieve this as your burden because the cellular memory of all loss of nature consciousness is embedded in your DNA with this origin. Especially if this is your most prominent origin. If not, it will be easier to handle. Hydra Starseeds have taken on the cellular memory of the loss of honoring nature as sacred, the damage of Earth as holy, the loss of mother as sacred, the loss of the moon as the celebration of life and reproduction, and the murders and suppression of thousands of their pagan ancestry as their weight and burden to bear and transmute for all beings on Earth. They feel as if all humans on Earth were birthed and sloughed through their skin. Their mission as an incarnated radial light source in human form is to transform the patriarchal viewpoint away from demonizing everything of the divine feminine. Along with bringing balance between the divine feminine and the divine masculine, carrying the true Twin Flame journey on their back. This star system is so profoundly connected to the direct soul genetic lineage of Mary Magdalene, the pagan families around the world, and underground Isis Temples left over France. As a Hydra Starseed you are forever deeply connected to ravens, as Corvus rides on Hydra's back. Those who have Corvus in their birth chart will naturally be drawn to assist Hydra Starseeds in their humanitarian efforts and vice versa. They are companions, and this is a relationship they can both rely and trust in. As Hydra and Corvus both carry the same mission in bringing balance between the divine feminine and the divine masculine. Accessing the underworld and mediumship may also come more naturally to those with Hydra and Corvus markers. Hydra is also home to Jupiter's ghost. Hydra Starseeds will have a calling to Jupiter. As this planetary body is the abundance of all things manifest. Hydra Starseeds will connect deeply to Jupiter, as Jupiter is in its highest illumination during July. Hydra is called the Entwiner, the clinging star, the coil, the strands of DNA, and the Kundalini life force. A powerful origin activating and initiating solar and lunar power, life and death, light and dark, good and evil, wisdom and blind passion, healing and poison, preserver and destroyer. This origin is to be deeply honored and respected, and is not to be taken lightly as this origin represents the energy identity/signature of merging and birthing from inner Earth or anti-particle matter to matter. They are the regeneration of life-force itself, creating a rhythmic slough of qualities. Killing, death, healing, secrets, curses, magic, rhythm, sex, intimacy, worship, devotion, seduction, and spells. As a Hydra Starseed Origin, you are the tempting god or goddesses of all desires. The emerging of the dark and light magician or witch that can reach into the guts of your core and pull your kundalini out in one look. You hold the encoding in your DNA as a Twin Flame and you are pre-soul contracted to have the Twin Flame experience in this incarnation. 

*Orion*

I have two alignments with Orion. This origin is in direct alignment with my astrological planets Jupiter and Saturn.

Your Orion Origin is the most complex, diverse, and controversial Starseed Origin out of any other galactic celestial source. Orion Starseeds incarnate to balance their ego with their spirituality, and they have a strong inner will-power along with self-discipline. They represent a highly significant origin, and are the largest seeded consciousness on planet Earth. Orion Starseeds are truly an evolved psychic Starseed origin as their existence and origin permanently holds all human galactic war history within its celestial segment. This would make those holding this origin extremely heightened in senses to injustices, lies, manipulation, invasions, intruder deals, and deception. There is no fooling or deceiving those of this origin. They were born in the cradle vibration of destroy and conquer. They have an insatiable thirst for knowledge; they analyze and dismember all forms of perceptions; they hold strong in their viewpoints, and they need in-depth proof to accept another's viewpoint. An Orion Starseeds soul genetic expression influences the unconscious, subconscious, pre-conscious perceptual orders of the psyche and they are driven by this capacity to work through the shadow aspects of humankind individually and collectively. As Orion Starseeds experience this aspect of the psyche more than any other origin. Many Orion Starseeds- like Sirius, Hydra, and Corvus Starseeds- are pre-soul contracted for the Twin Flame Journey. The greatest Twin Flame story being of Osiris and Isis. 

There are several different origins connected to Orion with Gamma Orion and The SuperGiant Betelgeuse being the main two. Gamma Orion is known as the "Star of Searching" providing the power to give fulfillment. It's said to be represented by the deer as its nature is gentle, peaceful, perceptive, curious, tender, and inconsistent. The SuperGiant Betelgeuse is considered the "Star of Sorrow" and is transformational, outcasted, suffering, critical, sharp, forceful, and dreadful. If The SuperGiant Betelgeuse is not your prominent origin then you are unlikely to be affected by it as much. If you have two or more major planets aligned with this particular Orion origin then it will be more dreadful.

Both my Jupiter and Saturn are in alignment with Gamma Orion.

*Shaula*

I have one alignment with Shaula. This origin is in direct alignment with my astrological planet Pluto.

Shaula incarnates are the true survivors of darkness and they teach the lesson collectively of evolving into emotional intelligence, and higher consciousness through unstable emotions. They are the brink of insanity mixed with all the love in the world, and this origin can be unfortunate because of the distortions it has to transmute for itself and the collective. They are the ones that have to pull the trigger, make the move, and to sting. They are the smoking gun, but they know their role and they will play it well. Those with this celestial influence carry the mission on Earth to be the face of pain. Shaula incarnates are likely to endure a lot of suppressed pain during this incarnation as they usually tend to incarnate into a family that is mismatched to the amount of praise/love that is needed for them to love/believe in themselves. This is the hardest origin placement within the celestial Starseed origins. However, Shaula Starseeds come in with powerful emotionally intelligent gifts. So powerful that they feel to the core of the Earth and back, but they themselves may not be able to gauge this ability right away. These Starseeds feel the most, the deepest, and are the most magnetic. They draw you in with magic, comfort, and deep penetrable love. They always feel denied and empty because almost nothing can soothe their visibility into the shadows. They give from the deepest part of their being, so when this is not reciprocated, acknowledged, or received in return to their expectations- they have the power to destroy, deconstruct, fire off, and be revengeful. Their qualities are very similar to Hydra in the sense of how they draw you in rhythmically and effortlessly. Shaula incarnates are highly empathetic, sensitive, psychic, and emotionally intelligent from birth. They embody all of the depth and potentiality of the inner Scorpion sensory abilities and are magnetized even more because of its supreme location in the Milky Way surrounded by crystals. 

*Aquila/Altair*

I have one alignment with Aquila/Altair. This origin is in direct alignment with my astrological Lilith.

With this Starseed origin influence in your chart you will have a profound connection to the Greek and Roman timelines of your akashic records. Influenced under the fire and lightning of Zeus' thunderbolt. The Eagle calls fire down from the Heavens as it carries the soul of the warrior to the land of the immortals. This star origin's influence is the highest ideology of the divine masculine in its most bold and brave principle. You seek to fight for injustices morally for yourself and for loved ones. This origin has an Orion quality to it. Divine Feminine's with notable placements of Aquila will be strong feminine with great masculine tact and authority. They can be temperamental and demanding and will power through with their wits to get what they need and desire. During younger years they will be more tomboyish and have strong friendships with the masculine, as one of the boys. Aquila Starseeds mission on Earth is to bring clarity, vision, and learning to those who may not have the strong ability to connect to others. As they possess the qualities of knowledge, wisdom, inherent knowing, religion, tradition, perseverance, and generosity. 

*Pleiades*

I have one alignment with Pleiades. This origin is in direct alignment with my astrological Midheaven.

Your Pleiadian origin is that of seven Hot B-type stars, very luminous, blue open star clusters, with beautiful reflection nebulae. It is influenced by the love and unity of the virgin companions of Artemis, the seven sisters, seven doves, the seven cows, and the seven Hathors in Egyptian Mythology. Pleiadians incarnate from the stargate Alcyone, as this is the heart of the Pleiades that holds the 4th-6th density/dimensional future parallel pro-to-type of our Earth called Tara. This is considered to be a holographic 5D insert of a higher harmonic universe of Earth. Alcyone holds this energetic structure within the relationship to the galactic networking systems as a photon belt. This photon belt gives those who hold this powerful origin an ability to access the gamma particles of this inter-dimensional light connecting many aspects in its relativity in the galaxy. Pleiadians are the true incarnates that hold the divine blueprint of the Original Angelic Human containing the encodement for the activation of the 4th DNA strand. This origin in your chart would represent an intimately compassionate divine union of the spirit within ones being as their primary mythology to the planet. Their mission being deeply committed to being the spiritual healers of Earth.Pleiadians are the most empathetic and compassionate starseed origin. They are drawn to humanitarian efforts, nurturing, healing, spiritual guiding and assisting fellow souls. Pleiadians are powerful energy workers. They are active in relationships and empowered in their sensitivity. They are highly psychic, intuitive, and sensitive. They love sharing and pleasing others. They are the spirit guides that assist with the spiritual evolution on the planet the most. Pleiadian Starseeds rule the heart chakra and are the Starseed origins most concerned with unconditional love and unity. 

Although I do feel the influence of all my origins, and despite the fact that the majority of my chart is aligned with Archangel Raphael, I actually feel more influence from Pleiades and The Family of Michael. I also have most of my spiritual/astral experiences with these origins. I relate much more to my Sidereal chart, and do not relate much to Leo. In fact, I feel the complete polar opposite. Lol. It doesn't matter what origin you are "more of" that determines which one you feel influenced by the greatest. I am also a part of the July 2000 wave of Indigo's that was influenced by Pleiades. Most Indigo's will be hybrids of Pleiades/Sirius. So this makes great sense. (Judging by my Sidereal chart.)
