 Of the sign Ophiuchus:

"Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."   GEN 41:40-44

EPISODE NUMBER - 505

DVD DISC - Season 5, Disc 2
ORIGINAL U.S. AIR DATE - 07.27.01
SYNDICATION AIR DATE - 10.07.02
WRITTEN BY - Ron Wilkerson
DIRECTED BY - Martin Wood
GUEST STARRING - Fred Applegate (Elrad), John Prosky (Malchus), Norman Armour (Dr. MacLaren), Brian Jensen (Freyr)


SG-1 discovers that their trip through the Stargate may have inadvertently doomed an entire civilization, and plead with the Asgard for assistance.


SG-1 emerges from the Stargate after a rough ride to an alien world. Carter tells Colonel O'Neill that they had to bypass some of the normal dialing protocols in order to get a lock on this planet -- K'Tau, a peaceful, agrarian world populated by a very spiritual people. The locals have developed from an ancient Norse people, and worship the benevolent Asgard as gods.

K'Tau, in fact, is an Asgard-protected planet -- named in the same treaty as Earth, in order to protect it from the Goa'uld ("Fair Game").



SG-1 soon realizes the reason for their rough ride through the wormhole. The K'Tau sun shifts toward the infrared end of the light spectrum, threatening to destroy all life on the planet. While the local leader, Elrad, consults the god Freyr (along with Malchus, a spiritual leader who is skeptical of the outsiders), Major Carter tries to get to the bottom of things.



O'Neill and Jackson accompany Elrad and Malchus, and are transported to an underground cavern where they are greeted by a holographic projection of "Freyr," a mighty Norse warrior. While the recording is vague and not specific to their situation, Malchus believes that the arrival of the "evil" visitors has signaled the beginning of Ragnarok -- the Norse version of Armageddon.



Back on the surface, Carter fills in the team on her theory. It's possible, she believes, that the wormhole created by the Stargate passed right through the K'Tau sun. A superheavy element piggybacked on the wormhole and bonded with the sun ... leading to its imminent destructon.
....

SG-1 is on their own. The only way that Carter can think of to stop the process is to introduce an element with an atomic weight above 200 into the sun, rendering the foreign matter inert. She returns to the SGC to begin work on a plan to deliver "Maclarium" -- a superheavy element created in a lab on Earth -- into the K'Tau sun, using a rocket that the Air Force was planning to launch from nearby Vandenburg Air Force Base in a few weeks. Over the course of the next three weeks, the rocket is brought through the gate in pieces and reconstructed.
...
All in all, viewers should keep in mind that the Stargate's tendency to know exactly when the last person has stepped through and close behind him (rather than always staying open for 38 minutes) is a creative decision on the part of the producers, and may never be explained technically. The fact that the wormhole disengages right after someone goes through obviously does not mean that their atoms were scattered across the cosmos.
....
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
....



Thor - Thor has apparently received a new ship to command, since the destruction of the Beliskner. His rank is commander.

NOTES
The margin of error in calculating planetary shift (necessary to find a valid Stargate address on the millenia-old network) use to cause the rough ride through the wormhole, but the SGC has since fixed it.

The Stargate system has a safety protocol built in, to prevent a wormhole from passing through a star (and presumably, other dangerous interstellar bodies). But this can be bypassed -- at least with the supercomputer that the SGC has rigged to control Earth's gate.

Freyr is the Norse god of sun and rain. He is also apparently on the Asgard High Council.

The superheavy element "Maclarium" (a word coined by Samantha Carter) is named for its pioneer developer, Dr. MacLaren. Its scientific designation is HU-2340, and it does not exist naturally on Earth.



This isn't the first SG-1 role for Brian Jensen, who voiced Freyr in this episode. He played the Jaffa high priest back in Season One's "Bloodlines."

ALOT ACTED STRANGE'''' THAT SEEMS WEERED
People looking one way and turning another, not paying attenion to other because they have the important stuff in mind and in focus, and really already enough in a way; Likke people already have conversations going in their mind as they star in presentations ; and..does it seem like crash landings and people really getting outh nthere in conversations; and,, maybe a timing thing, wherethey are getting away from finished areas; and they are urgent or anctious for another or urgent and anctious for something else, of either...?

TO WHAT  LEVEL OF NOTE ,
 ITS WHEN ITS ABSTRACT ABSALUTE AND NOT REALLY AT ALL
AND REALY ITS JUST THE EMOTIONS OF INFLUENCE IN HOUSE CHANGES
ABD BALLANCING MORE OF A GREENLINE DAYS THAN THE RED, OR AT LEAST MAKING THE BEST OUT OF THEM

AND IF I'M CORRECT A LOT MORE OF REPEAT OF SAME AREAS
 FOR JUPITERS' 18 DEGREE ADVANCE INTO TAURUS / Declined backwards in Retrograde back to ZERO DEGREES Taurus Now, and Now starting Direct back through Taurus.

Mars - Men and Jobs or Careers
Venus - Women and (this may sound confusing)
the nature of our sense of attraction. It rules close partnerships and also marriage. Venus is associated with the Descendant of the chart. Venus is the ruler of both Taurus and Libra.

IN MY OPINION AND OBSERVATION Its very personal for each yet in the end we all depend on each other and God and ourselves and either of those 3 can have a + or -, or good or bad , or whatever, all with the 4th-the earth, to say the least whereorwhat-ever our work, job, school, meditation and our entrertainment of our own choices of importances overlapses in there.....

13 and 17 days from now it really gets into 7TH 8TH AND 9TH HOUSE
MATERIAL; ALL AS FAR AS LUNAR RELATED AND THAT 1,2, 3 is also
GEMINI CANCER AND LEO

Here is
IMAGE NOTICE Mars Uranus  and Mars Square Sun
Uranus open to Square Pluto Venus
Mecury message important to decifer squaring Mars now
Mercury messanger of what is between Sun and Moon, and of their message
NEPTUNE has a bliss going with Pluto Venus and Jupiter
and also look how this pattern compares to your chart
and renmenber that the right now chart may change house orders


Venus is associated with the Descendant of the chart. Venus is the ruler of both Taurus and Libra

Gemini as the twins,
*Cancer looks like a ying yang,
and is as a ship or container or a shell, or an armor
maybe even confusing in or fuseing in a shield;
* Leo the Lion is King of the beast, Christ return He is as a Lion , but ONLY CHRIST IS CHRIST, SO A great JESUS theme may be of need or we may behinnd in nour unity against the wave of changes related to  limits and expansion reasonings , OUR FAITH IS A SHIELD  by the way...so if we use it, we must realise it , and not allow it to be interpreted as something else by abstracts of
enslavement and exstrtion, and other stuff all context and cociencious, and not something to be played.. so whatch timing clauses
etc and circumstances convienient  to Gods written and Love purpose..
....and something else HE connects to EACH OF US INDIVIDUALLY as a personal and group and a world and even a family relating;
that was / is a continual p g w and f relating..

our shield
when it is glowing it could be a sign or..
..or it could red hot ...
..or reflecting something
The Shield Of Faith; so what's it sposed to be doin?g

Like the dream seems and what practicality is within our limits and limitations
we should reach out for it and ask and know we have a helper at all times as
when we are at one with HIM  we are NOT HIM, and you know how twins can be, even Identicle ones;

My Guess is the Moon is now in a Lunar Second House,
so the 1st house would seem emotional and like all new stuff
or like regular stuff that they should normally get it, but they aren't;
or if they usually wouldn't , they probably did get it...
and THE moon is ALWAYS at pace - 2 and a half days per SIGN and the House is very close to the same borders and kind of cuspy i reality when in those between areas at length and stresses that distance of orb of difference between House and Sign (from my own observations in last two years)

1
LOoKING AT MARS, and Moon, they werre square in the sky,
Men acting on emotions and or work and job stuf emotionaly cramped overloaded, or dumped ditched, or hey, double the bliss, but
Saturn(senseability and limits) and Jupiter(rules and powers)

they both were helping Mars the Same as the Moon, But...

.. SATURN AND JUPITER ARE OPISITITE EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW, AND
JUPITER IS RETROGRADE TO ITS FINAL DEGREE )0 DEGREE Taurus) after being Retrograde(R) since SEptember
THE POINT IS BOTH SATURN AND JUPITER NOW SQUARE THE SECOND PHASE OF THOSE SAME EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENTS,; 2 OF A 1,2,3, of House and Sign

Sun

The sun represents your will or life force. It is the conscious, extroverted, positive, male side of yourself. The sun or solar principle provides the life energy that is expressed by the rest of your chart. So-called "sun-sign" astrology can work as well as it does because the sun is such an important feature of your chart/life, but one should never forget that there are other planets in your chart. The moon, midheaven and the ascendant are of equal value in describing a life. Often women will project their sun on some man instead of owning their sun, while men will forget that they have anything but the sun.

Moon

The moon represents the emotional side of your existance. It is the unconscious, introverted, negative, female side of yourself. The moon or lunar principle provides a reflective element to your chart, and so it works as a co-equal partner with your sun. Just as the sun and the moon both appear the same size as seen from the earth (which is why solar or lunar eclipses can happen), the sun and the moon are of equal strength in the chart. Often men can project their moon onto some women instead of recognizing that they too have a lunar nature, while women can forgetthat they are anything but the mothering, nuturing moon. The lesson from astrology is that we are all our planets, and achieving wholeness requires that we recognize all of our chart.

Mercury

Mercury represents the concretely intellectual part of your personality, the functioning mind. Mercury represents communication and the day to day activity of the intellect. Mercury rules short-distance communications and learning. Mercury rules both Gemini, where synthesis is the key, and Virgo, where analysis is the key. mercury can indicate the manner in which you think, but not the level of your intelligence.

Venus

Venus can be said to represent "love" and is often paired with Mars in a polarity: The symbol for Venus is the standard biological symbol for female, and the glyph for Mars is the symbol for male. Venus shows are ability at relating to others, and the nature of the desire. Venus can indicate the type of people we are attracted to, or the nature of our sense of attraction. It rules close partnerships and also marriage. Venus is associated with the Descendant of the chart. Venus is the ruler of both Taurus and Libra.

Mars

Mars represents our active energy, the way we go out and get what we want, which can be determined by, amoung other things, Venus. The characteristics of Mars in the birth charts shows the nature of our energy flow. Mars rules both the outer-directed Aries and the inner-directed Scorpio. Mars takes two years to circle the sun, and so we see all faces of mars many times in our life. Mars is considered a "personal" planet, because it tells something about the way we are as individuals.

Jupiter

Jupiter is the first of the so-called "social planets." People born within a one-year period will share the same sign position of Jupiter. This planet show how the socialization process works within us. The urge of the Jupiter principle is to expand; without limits, such as those provided by Saturn, Jupiter would expand without limits, filling the Universe, and, on a more human level, gow fat and expend money without limit. Jupiter rules both Sagittarius and Pisces, lending a religious nature to both signs.

Saturn

Saturn is the second of the two social planets, and it is often paired with Jupiter. Saturn often gets a bad rap as the bogy man of the planets, but it is extremely important. Saturn helps us focus and defnie limits; without Saturn, Jupiter would expand withoout limits (a good Saturn word), whereas without Jupiter, Saturn would contract us to a point. Saturn takes about 30 years to go around the sun, and its positions vis a vis its natal positions represent major turning points in our life. Saturn can also bring a sense of limitation and dispair to our lives. Saturn rules the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius.

Uranus

Uranus is the first of the three transpersonal or generational planets. It moves so slowly -- requiring 84 years to go once around the sun -- that it tells more, unless configured to one of the personal planets or points, about the generation one was born into than the nature of the person. Uranus represents the process of individuation, and can manifest itself as independence, rebellion, revolution or eccentricity. Uranus rules the sign of Aquarius, giving Aquarius the individualistic nature it is known for. Uranus was discovered between the American and French revolutions, certainly good symbols for the Uranian principles.

Neptune

Nepture is another transpersonal planet, taking 168 years to circle the sun. Neptune represents the spiritual or mystical side of ourselves. It is the sensitive planet. At our level of development, Neptune often manifests itself in illusions, vagueness, wooley thinking and the use of drugs such as alcohol. The discovery of Neptune took place at about the same time as the discovery of ether in the rise of spiritualism. Neptune rules Pisces. Even from its name, we can tell that Neptune is a watery planet, and is important in religious people as well as performers.

Pluto

Pluto is the slowest moving of the known planets, taking 248 years to circle the sun, so no one can experience all the sign positions of Pluto. Pluto seems to best represent the different generations, so that we have the "baby-boomer" generation born with Pluto in Leo (1939-1958) and the so called "generation X' born with Pluto in Virgo (1958-1973), as well as yet unamed generations born with Pluto in Libra and Scorpio. In 1996 Pluto moves into Sagittarius, and another generation starts. In natal charts, Pluto can represent deep (and often hidden) forces, changes and transformations. A strong Pluto can lead to obsessive or compulsive behavior, or involvent in occult activities or depth psychology. Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio. Pluto was the only major planet discovered in the XXth Century, and about the time that expreiment laid the basis for the development of the atomic bomb and atomic power.

Node

The North Node of the Moon has several meanings, depending on what school of astrology you follow. In the traditional meanings, the north node refers to a location for intake of the psychic and physical substance you need to maintain life, while the south node is the point where excesses of those substances are expelled. If one node is working well and the other is blocked it can lead to either psychic constipation of lack of nutrition. Both are needed. In the cosmobiological school, the nodes collective refer to a point of contact with those who are close to us, if not necessarily in a physical sense. The word "karma" is sometimes associated with this connection.

Ascendant

The Ascendant -- also called the rising sign -- represents the mask we wear to face the world. Traditionally the ascendant was considered the most important point in the chart, but since it can not be known without an accurate birthtime, the sun became much more prominent. The ascendant -- the point where the sun rises in the east -- represents the defense mechanisms we develop to face a hostile, non-understanding world. It also is how other people first see us, before they come to know us and the various personality forces represented by the planets. Some people tend to identify with their ascendant, forgetting that it is only a facade and not the real person. The ascendant also colors the way we see the outer world, so that two people with different rising signs will experience the same event differently.

Midheaven

The Midheaven represents our true self, that part of us that we can feel observing our mundane activities. The midheaven -- the highest point the sun reaches in its diurnal cycle -- is not given nearly as much attentions as the ascendant, even though it is at least as important, and arguably more important. The midheaven also depends on the time and location of our birth, but unlike the ascendent it does not depend on the latitude. It also represents the individual or ego-consciousness. It has been said that the ascendant represents the ego in the Freudian sense, while the midheaven represents the ego in the Jungian sense. In some ways the midheaven is closer to who we really are than the ascendant. The midheaven - also called the MC for the Latin Midium Coeli which means middle of the sky -- also stands for our career or calling, and how the outside, impersonal world see us. The career is what we do to make a living, while the calling is what we have to do.
