I was looking at my Right Ascension Aquarius lunar alignments with the free Stellarium astronomical program that I have recently started using for Astrology including especially for the stars and deep sky objects. I have rekindled my interest in Deep Space Astrology.
Astronomers locate and track celestial objects in Right Ascension (Equatorial Longitude) and Declination (Equatorial Latitude), and that's what I am doing.
I only looked at those that are actually in the constellation Aquarius.

They transit the Meridian together within 4 minutes of clock time, and so they are in a paran.
Objects that align in Right Ascension transit together. They culminate together and anti-culminate together.
Objects that align in Right Ascension actually have a visual connection.
Moon is in constellation Aquarius, Sidereal Zodiac Aquarius, and Tropical Zodiac Pisces.
I am a Siderealist because of my interest in Babylonian Astrology.
My Moon is in near occultation with theta Aquarii Ancha at Aquarius' hip.
My Moon in 3'11 Tropical Pisces is in alignment with Ancha, alpha Aquarii Sadalmelik, and alpha Piscis Austrini Fomalhaut (star was also part of Aquarius) in Ecliptic Longitude.
People that have alignments with those stars in Ecliptic Longitude also have the alignments with Ancha, Sadachbia, and The Atoms For Peace Galaxy in Right Ascension.
Aquarius
Aquarius is a constellation of the zodiac, between Capricornus and Pisces. Its name is Latin for "water-carrier" or "cup-carrier", and its symbol is 
(Unicode ♒), a representation of water. Aquarius is one of the oldest of the recognized constellations along the zodiac (the Sun's apparent path).[2] It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It is found in a region often called the Sea due to its profusion of constellations with watery associations such as Cetus the whale, Pisces the fish, and Eridanus the river.[3]
At apparent magnitude 2.9, Beta Aquarii is the brightest star in the constellation.
History and mythology
Aquarius is identified as GU.LA "The Great One" in the Babylonian star catalogues and represents the god Ea himself, who is commonly depicted holding an overflowing vase. The Babylonian star-figure appears on entitlement stones and cylinder seals from the second millennium. It contained the winter solstice in the Early Bronze Age.[4] In Old Babylonian astronomy, Ea was the ruler of the southernmost quarter of the Sun's path, the "Way of Ea", corresponding to the period of 45 days on either side of winter solstice. Aquarius was also associated with the destructive floods that the Babylonians regularly experienced, and thus was negatively connoted.[3] In Ancient Egypt astronomy, Aquarius was associated with the annual flood of the Nile; the banks were said to flood when Aquarius put his jar into the river, beginning spring.[5]
In the Greek tradition, the constellation came to be represented simply as a single vase from which a stream poured down to Piscis Austrinus. The name in the Hindu zodiac is likewise kumbha "water-pitcher".[2]
In Greek mythology, Aquarius is sometimes associated with Deucalion, the son of Prometheus who built a ship with his wife Pyrrha to survive an imminent flood. They sailed for nine days before washing ashore on Mount Parnassus.[3][6] Aquarius is also sometimes identified with beautiful Ganymede, a youth in Greek mythology and the son of Trojan king Tros, who was taken to Mount Olympus by Zeus to act as cup-carrier to the gods.[7][8][6] Neighboring Aquila represents the eagle, under Zeus' command, that snatched the young boy;[9] some versions of the myth indicate that the eagle was in fact Zeus transformed. An alternative version of the tale recounts Ganymede's kidnapping by the goddess of the dawn, Eos, motivated by her affection for young men; Zeus then stole him from Eos and employed him as cup-bearer. Yet another figure associated with the water bearer is Cecrops I, a king of Athens who sacrificed water instead of wine to the gods.[6]
Depictions[edit]
In the first century, Ptolemy's Almagest established the common Western depiction of Aquarius. His water jar, an asterism itself, consists of Gamma, Pi, Eta, and Zeta Aquarii; it pours water in a stream of more than 20 stars terminating with Fomalhaut, now assigned solely to Piscis Austrinus. The water bearer's head is represented by 5th magnitude 25 Aquarii while his left shoulder is Beta Aquarii; his right shoulder and forearm are represented by Alpha and Gamma Aquarii respectively.[6]
In Eastern astronomy[edit]
In Chinese astronomy, the stream of water flowing from the Water Jar was depicted as the "Army of Yu-Lin" (Yu-lim-kiun or Yulinjun, Hanzi: 羽林君). The name "Yu-lin" means "feathers and forests", referring to the numerous light-footed soldiers from the northern reaches of the empire represented by these faint stars.[5][6] The constellation's stars were the most numerous of any Chinese constellation, numbering 45, the majority of which were located in modern Aquarius. The celestial army was protected by the wall Leibizhen (垒壁阵), which counted Iota, Lambda, Phi, and Sigma Aquarii among its 12 stars.[6] 88, 89, and 98 Aquarii represent Fou-youe, the axes used as weapons and for hostage executions. Also in Aquarius is Loui-pi-tchin, the ramparts that stretch from 29 and 27 Piscium and 33 and 30 Aquarii through Phi, Lambda, Sigma, and Iota Aquarii to Delta, Gamma, Kappa, and Epsilon Capricorni.[5]
Near the border with Cetus, the axe Fuyue was represented by three stars; its position is disputed and may have instead been located in Sculptor. Tienliecheng also has a disputed position; the 13-star castle replete with ramparts may have possessed Nu and Xi Aquarii but may instead have been located south in Piscis Austrinus. The Water Jar asterism was seen to the ancient Chinese as the tomb, Fenmu. Nearby, the emperors' mausoleum Xiuliang stood, demarcated by Kappa Aquarii and three other collinear stars. Ku ("crying") and Qi ("weeping"), each composed of two stars, were located in the same region.[6]
Three of the Chinese lunar mansions shared their name with constellations. Nu, also the name for the 10th lunar mansion, was a handmaiden represented by Epsilon, Mu, 3, and 4 Aquarii. The 11th lunar mansion shared its name with the constellation Xu ("emptiness"), formed by Beta Aquarii and Alpha Equulei; it represented a bleak place associated with death and funerals. Wei, the rooftop and 12th lunar mansion, was a V-shaped constellation formed by Alpha Aquarii, Theta Pegasi, and Epsilon Pegasi; it shared its name with two other Chinese constellations, in modern-day Scorpius and Aries.[6]

Ancha
Theta Aquarii (θ Aquarii, abbreviated Theta Aqr, θ Aqr), officially named Ancha /ˈæŋkə/[7] (distinguish Ankaa, with the same pronunciation), is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. Visible to the naked eye at apparent magnitude 4.175,[2] it is located at a distance of around 187 light-years (57 parsecs) from the Sun.[1] Since it is near the ecliptic it can be occulted by the Moon, or very rarely by planets.
Nomenclature
θ Aquarii (Latinised to Theta Aquarii) is the star's Bayer designation.
It bore the traditional name Ancha; Medieval Latin for "the haunch". In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[8] to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Ancha for this star on 12 September 2016, and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[7]
In Chinese, 泣 (Qì), meaning Weeping, refers to an asterism consisting of Theta Aquarii and Rho Aquarii.[9] Consequently, the Chinese name for Theta Aquarii itself is 泣二 (Qì èr, English: the Second Star of Weeping).[10] Possibly, the name Lei, meaning "tears (weeping)" in Chinese, derives from the Chinese name for this star.[11]
Properties[edit]
Ancha belongs to the spectral class G8 with a luminosity class of III–IV suggesting that, at an age of 437[3] million years, this star is part way between the subgiant and giant stages of its evolution. Estimates of the star's mass range from 2.39[5] to 2.78[3] times the Sun's mass, with a radius of about 12[4] times that of the Sun. It is radiating from 72[4] to 83[3] times as much luminosity as the Sun from its enlarged outer envelope at an effective temperature of 4,864 K.[4] At this heat, the star glows with the yellow hue of a G-type star.[12]
Sadachbia
Gamma Aquarii (γ Aquarii, abbreviated Gamma Aqr, γ Aqr) is a binary star in the constellation of Aquarius. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.849,[2] making it one of the brighter members of the constellation. Based upon parallax measurements taken during the Hipparcos mission, this star is located at a distance of approximately 164 light-years (50 parsecs) from the Sun.[1]
Gamma Aquarii is the primary or 'A' component of a double star designated WDS J22217-0123.[9] The secondary or 'B' component is UCAC2 31430071.[10] Gamma Aquarii A's two components are therefore designated WDS J22217-0123 Aa and Ab. Gamma Aquarii is traditionally also called Sadachbia /səˈdækbiə/,[11] a name now formally restricted to γ Aqr Aa.[12]
Nomenclature
γ Aquarii (Latinised to Gamma Aquarii) is the system's Bayer designation. WDS J22217-0123 A is its designation in the Washington Double Star Catalog.
It bore the traditional name Sadachbia, from an Arabic expression سعد الأخبية (sa‘d al-’axbiyah), meaning "luck of the homes (tents)". In Hindi it is also called Satabhishaj (a hundred physicians); it is called Sadhayam in Tamil. In the catalogue of stars in the Calendarium of Al Achsasi Al Mouakket, this star was designated Aoul al Achbiya (أول ألأجبية - awwil al ahbiyah), which was translated into Latin as Prima Tabernaculorum, meaning the first of luck of the homes (tents).[13] In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[14] to catalogue and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Sadachbia for the component WDS J22217-0123 Aa on 21 August 2016, and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[12]
This star, along with Pi Aquarii (Seat), Zeta Aquarii (Sadaltager / Achr al Achbiya) and Eta Aquarii (Hydria), were al Aḣbiyah الأخبية "the Tent".[15][16][17]
In Chinese, 墳墓 (Fén Mù), meaning Tomb, refers to an asterism consisting of Gamma Aquarii, Zeta Aquarii, Eta Aquarii and Pi Aquarii.[18] Consequently, the Chinese name for Gamma Aquarii itself is 墳墓二 (Fén Mù èr, English: the Second Star of Tomb).[19]
Properties
Gamma Aquarii is a spectroscopic binary with a period of 58.1 days.
It presents as an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V,[3] around two and a half times more massive than the Sun.[20] It is a candidate Lambda Boötis star, suggesting it may have accreted low-metallicity circumstellar gas some time in the past.[21] It is spinning relatively rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 80 km s−1.[7] This value gives a lower bound on the actual azimuthal velocity along the star's equator. The outer atmosphere of Gamma Aquarii is radiating energy at an effective temperature of 10,500 K,[6] which is nearly double the temperature at the surface of the Sun. This heat is what gives Gamma Aquarii the white-hot glow of an A-type star.[22]
Atoms For Peace Galaxy
NGC 7252 is a peculiar galaxy resulting from an interaction between two galaxies that started a billion years ago. It is located 220 million light years away in the constellation Aquarius. It is also called Atoms for Peace Galaxy, a nickname which comes from its loop-like structure, made of stars, that resembles a diagram of an electron orbiting an atomic nucleus.
Description
NGC 7252 is located in the southern part of Aquarius. With an apparent magnitude of 12.7, it is bright enough to be seen by amateur astronomers as a faint small fuzzy blob. Large loops of gas and stars around it makes the galaxy quite peculiar. Thus, it is also Arp 226 (the 226th entry in Arp's list of peculiar galaxies).
In December 1953, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave the "Atoms for Peace" speech. The speech was concerned about promoting nuclear power for peaceful purposes instead of nuclear weapons. Significant to the scientific community, the name of the speech was given to this peculiar galaxy. The two galaxies merging also resembles nuclear fusion and the galaxies giant loops resemble a diagram of electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom.
The galaxy is the result of a collision of two galaxies. This collision is an opportunity for astronomers to study such mergers and to predict the future of our Milky Way after its expected collision with the Andromeda Galaxy.
X-ray emissions were observed in NGC 7252. This suggests the existence of nuclear activity or an intermediate-mass black hole in the galaxy.
Structure
The central region of the galaxy is home to hundreds of massive, ultra-luminous clusters of young stars that appear as bluish knots of light. These young clusters were created on the suspected galaxy merger, that pushed gases into these regions and caused a burst of star formation.
The most conspicuous of them is one known as W3, which has a mass of around 8*107 solar masses. This object, also the most luminous super star cluster known to date, has properties more similar to an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy and differs only from those galaxies because of its age (300–500 million years).[2]
A pinwheel-shaped disk, rotating in a direction opposite to that of the galaxy, is found deep inside NGC 7252: it resembles a face-on spiral galaxy, yet it is only 10,000 light years across. It is believed that this pinwheel-shaped structure is a remnant of a collision between two galaxies. Within a few billion years, NGC 7252 will look like an elliptical galaxy with a small inner disk due to the exhaustion of the gases in the galaxy.
In August 2013, F. Schweizer and others published a paper in the Astrophysical Journal titled "The [O III] Nebula of the Merger Remnant NGC 7252: A Likely Faint Ionization Echo".[3] This reports the finding of a Voorwerpje on the outskirts of the well-studied NGC 7252. The abstract states (edited): "We present images and spectra of a ~10 kpc-sized emission-line nebulosity discovered in the prototypical merger remnant NGC 7252 and dubbed the `[O III] nebula' because of its dominant [O III]_5007 line. This nebula seems to yield the first sign of episodic AGN activity still occurring in the remnant, ~220 Myr after the coalescence of two gas-rich galaxies. Its location and kinematics suggest it belongs to a stream of tidal-tail gas falling back into the remnant." It continues: "This large discrepancy suggests that the nebula is a faint ionization echo excited by a mildly active nucleus that has declined by ~3 orders of magnitude over the past 20,000–200,000 years. In many ways this nebula resembles the prototypical `Hanny's Voorwerp' near IC 2497, but its size is 3x smaller."[3]'

spectroscopic binary
Spectroscopic Visual Binaries carry much the same energy as the Visual Binary with one primary added factor. The full spectrum, not just a polarization, must receive cogent consideration. Thinking several steps down the road in terms of the impact of choice, assists the functional use of these systems. Much like playing 3-d chess, the Spectroscopic Visual Binaries note than an action in this realm affects other humans in other place, maybe dimensions. For instance, the new electric automobiles available in California and Arizona certainly affect Afghanistan, Brazil, China and Zaire with the improvement in air quality. Helping one down and out person affects all the other down and out persons. Once back on her/his feet, the first down and out person can later assist others. Karmic perpetuation of the immediate situation falling into the conscious mind best personifies the Spectroscopic Binary.
Visual Doubles
Visual Double star systems reside throughout the heavens. Look at the handle of the Big Dipper, the horns of the bull in Taurus, and everywhere. There they are. The symbolism displays the need to see the obvious dichotomy in the situation lying ahead. The recognition of the fork in the road enables a choice. Clarity of both possibilities allows for a more cognitive choice. A Sun-Mercury quality, Visual Doubles ask for complete consideration, objectification and more importantly, just seeing. Without seeing, forward movement based upon an impending choice stands as impossible.
Multiple Star Systems Any multiple star system, a function of the number of members, simply symbolizes a multitude of options existing in any one evident consideration. Multiplexing, matrixing, overlaying, superimposing, composites and alchemy hold images in the multiple star systems. One of the more remarkable laws of nature is the law of attraction. Electrons, protons and neutrons all "know" their predispositions for alignment. Too, objects in space congregate about powerful nuclear objects holding gravitational, magnetic or some other enigmatic force over its cosmic neighborhood. Many of these clumped congregations form clusters. These clusters contain interstellar dust, plasma, cold dark matter (CDM), stars and much more within their grasp. Anyone connected to Multiple Star Systems automatically possesses an amazing ability to multitask.
Atoms For Peace Galaxy is a Galaxy that has Super Star Clusters which are open clusters
Galaxy
Many types of galaxies reside in deep space. These consist of spirals, ellipticals, externals and many other categories - most by shape. Each one of these shows up much like a star as we view it with the naked eye. But so much more is contained in that point. The implication of galactic connection notes the in evident depth, complexity and circumstance of any given situation one embraces. The subsequent fanout of results far exceeds the initial interpretation of what is required. Sometimes the result generates a strong sense of overwhelm, in over one's head and out of one's league. The far-reaching effects of galactic connections, though the feeling remains difficult to pinpoint, require an awareness of mass consciousness and global effects.
has Super Star Clusters which are Open Clusters including W3 which is the most luminous
Open Clusters possess hundreds of stars in an irregular shape, holding in common a stronger gravitational bond than the backfield of surrounding stars. These clusters congregate on the plane of the galaxy amidst great concentrations of gas and dust. The orientation of these clusters defines our galactic structure's spiral arms. Averaging some 1,000 parsecs thick and 10,000 parsecs in diameter, Open Clusters hide their more distant members from view.
Collective in nature, Open Clusters carry a Uranus-Neptune feeling. Cosmic Community coagulates about the core, achieving some united effect. Important in their consideration is that many members remain hidden from any given point of view, dependent upon that point of view. Ultimately, any member of the cluster may be lost in the crowd depending upon the orientation of the observer. Sometimes the person becoming lost in the crowd was actually the one who got the crowd together in the first place. To avoid feeling lost in a cluster, the psychology of the holder of an Open Cluster connection insists upon being part of the credits, named on the patent, kudos in the newsletter, et al. These considerations remain highly significant and cannot be ignored by others or the ignored being will force an unpleasant rise from obscurity. Should you be part of an Open Cluster connection, especially with a personal planet or angle, know going into any situation what will be required of you in participation, and how you will be compensated, both tangibly and intangibly.
