First of all, the constellations are only so as seen from the perspective of Earth. They do not exist as real groupings of star clusters in space. Quite so. But the Earth-centric perceptions of constellations and star clusters often result in the same namings and/or mythology by native peoples all around the Earth. Perhaps the arbitrary constructs and myths veil some meaning. How might we start to unveil such an allegory?

I was interested to read that the Great Bear stars are considered masculine by the various ancient cultures and that the Pleaides were considered feminine by those same cultures (even though in those days there was little chance they could comunicate with each other). We know the sun and the moon influence things on Earth to a great degree (our lives depend on them), maybe these two sets of stars act as the warp and weft of the loom of life as we experience it. Scientifically, the positive/negative influences that weave the fabric of the physical world we can see and experience. Our Masonic Pavement indicates this duality.

I think that the above depiction may have some problems. For example, Alcyone is about 400 light years from us and with the Pleiades being perhaps 40 light years across. If those figures are correct then the proposed photon belt might need remeasuring.
The flat circular depiction of the Pleiades might also need some reconsideration
Nevertheless there may be some metaphysical reality behind the concept of a photon belt - for example, the entities that are space may propagate relationships and agenda via subtle streams of energy

what about the color spectrum as the 7 rays? if stars r "communicating", what more than the unigue spectrum emitted by any star do u need?
photonbelt? stars dont have enough gravity to form a fotonbelt..

The 7 rays are intelligent energy flows that progressively reduce in frequency as they inform all Creation from Spirit to Matter.
Here are some meanings of "colour"
v. col·ored, col·or·ing, col·ors v.tr. 1. To impart color to or change the color of. 2. a. To give a distinctive character or quality to; modify. See Synonyms at bias. b. To exert an influence on; affect: The war colored the soldier's life. 3. a. To misrepresent, especially by distortion or exaggeration: color the facts. b. To gloss over; excuse: a parent who colored the children's lies. v.intr.
Thus we see that metaphysically the "colour" is a veil

how do u relate that to the stars spectrum?

The spectrum to which you refer is a very minor subset of the energies that stars emit and receive. By analogy, would you judge a human by the colour of their skin?

would u judge a person by the color of his aura? Judgement is by the mind using the beliefs with which it has been structured. Humans exist in quite complex karmic and dharmic situations. The current status of the human is only one factor to be considered in assessing their contribution to the Greater Good.

Perhaps the issue is what influences approach the Earth from different directions of the sky.
The naming of those influences would of course be Earth-centric.
Then we might consider whether the influences are from physical bodies in the Cosmos or whether those influences emerge in the Cosmos from more profound levels of Creation

Perhaps the arbitrary constructs and myths veil some meaning. How might we start to unveil such an allegory? Simply identify the specific language that was used to name each, the time period in which that language was used and evaluate the time of season each appeared in the sky above the civilization that used that language. History has continuously shown that the myths and constructs had to do with the seasons of the culture that named them. At least, in the non-tropics.

I wonder whether history shows that or whether it is Europeans who are showing it. I wonder if one can show examples outside the aforementioned culture that reveal consistently otherwise. But maybe, just maybe, the arbitrary constructs and myths don't veil some meaning and that it would be futile to make effort to unveil such an allegory.

One of the most obvious examples is the Pleiades where the legends across the world very largely ascribe female qualities to the stars. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiades_in_folklore_and_literatureAnd typically there are 7 or 6 +1 in the legends despite most people on a dark night being able to see more than 7 stars in the cluster. That might equally be evidence for there being: - only one source from which all human civilisation descends - some influence of the Pleiades that most cultures can detect. Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades

Perhaps all of these myths originated from the very culture that spawned them and that the true mystery is how this entrenched mindset never changed as it traveled over land and through time -- yikes!

And yet the influence of the Pleiades was so obvious and strong that no one was considered able to control it.
