Great Celestial Conjunction Crosses - Souls of Distortion

Scarab representing the crossing of the ecliptic and Milky Way
near Sagittarius-Scorpio nexus.
In the artefact depicted below, the two symbols that represent the two zodiac
signs that correspond with the crossings of ecliptic and Milky Way are placed in
barques and combined in one artefact. The barque expresses the fact that we are
dealing with a crossing of the ecliptic and Milky Way since this is the place where
the precessing Sun passes the great river in the sky, the Milky Way. Above we
see the winged solar disk with two serpents representing the ecliptic.
On the left the scarab beetle in a barque, on the right the bull with the horns in a
barque. The scarab beetle represents the Sagittarius-Scorpio nexsus while the
horns of the bull of course correspond with the Gemini-Taurus nexus.
