The Symbolism of Cygnus as it corresponds to what is happening up there.

In Greek mythology, Cygnus has been identified with several different legendary swans. Zeus disguised himself as a swan to seduce Leda, Spartan king Tyndareus's wife, who gave birth to the Gemini, Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra; Orpheus was transformed into a swan after his murder, and was said to have been placed in the sky next to his lyre (Lyra); and the King Cygnus was transformed into a swan.


Basically after taking a 26-year nap, a waking black hole released a burst of X-rays that excited the Astronomical community and is still exciting them .
On June 15th 2015, a black hole 8,000 light years away sprung alive for the first time since 1989, blasting X-rays and gamma rays across the universe. Such objects are called X-Ray novas and act as their own alarm clocks.

Astronomers identified the revived black hole as an "X-ray nova" . Which is a sudden increase in star luminosity.   They said it was coming from a binary system in the constellation Cygnus. They went on to say that the said outburst may have been caused by material falling into a black hole.

Well now.....Esoterically we know that Cygnus is  related to Divine man.. That is why we have Zeus seducing Leder the swan.  Lyra  gives birth to two sets of twins which are symbolic for the first born messiahs of each of the races.    A black hole connected to this constellation is something to take notice of.

The observations were made on the 15th of June and this deduces to 20 in Esoteric numbers.  D. Smith.


Together with other avian constellations near the summer solstice, Vultur cadens and Aquila, Cygnus may be a significant part of the origin of the myth of the Stymphalian Birds, one of The Twelve Labours of Hercules.

Technically speaking the Pleiades are known as (Messier 45 or M45).  The constellation is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. The celestial entity has several meanings in different cultures and traditions.  Wiki

The Pleiades are regarded as the seven mythical daughters of Atlas and Pleione. These stars are well known as being the virgin confidantes of Artemis.

Orion, the hunter pursued the sisters and also their mother.   The girls prayed to the Gods to rescue them from Orion. The gods answered their prayers and changed the sisters into birds (doves). Much later the Gods changed them further into stars.
The God Zeus put  the sisters in the sky in a special place in the constellation of Taurus.  There are many myths the world over concerning this constellation.  One of these myths say the sisters committed suicide after the death of their sisters the Hyades. 
The names of the Pleiades stars are as follows:

The Pleiades are  Alcyone, Electra, Celaeno, Maia, Sterope, Merope, Taygete.

The Constellation of Andromeda.

Andromeda Galaxy - spiraling out of my art work.
Look almost due north this evening at around 10pm and you will see the Constellation of Andromeda. 

This constellation is home to our nearest spiral galaxy, and largest galaxy in the Local Group (the group of nearby galaxies including the Milky Way), The Andromeda Galaxy. 

This galaxy is also referred to as Messier 31 or M31. 

The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away and is estimated to contain at least twice as many stars as our own Milky Way.
 

On a clear night with no moon and away from the city lights the Andromeda Galaxy can been seen with the naked eye, but if you can't get somewhere dark enough you should be able to see it with a pair of binoculars.
