The star cluster called the Pleiades is situated at the heart of the Constellation of Taurus the Bull.
The Pleiades were seven sisters who wept for the death of their brother Hyas.
And so we are to have a heart of compassion that weeps for the sufferings of our brothers and sisters.
The Bible says: " the lord looks on the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7 (NRSV)
But God says: "I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 11:19 (NRSV)
Compassion is the correct response to the sufferings of others.
Not fear, nor judgement, nor punishment.....
But compassion.
