St. Nino (orthodox feast: 14 Jan) is said to have personally chosen the confluence of the Mtkvari (Kura) and Aragvirivers as the place of the first Georgian Church. The present structure supposedly built on a 4th century church was completed in 1029. The church is celebrated as the burial site of Christ‘s mantle (although it shares that fame with a number of other churches).

Astrogeographical position for morphogenetic field level 4 (exact adress) which describes the energetical topics and atmosphere of the cathedral building itself: one coordinate is located in mystic spiritual water sign Pisces sign of spirituality, dreaming, illusions, legends, the invisible, unconscious, intoxication, music, letting go and the most important astrogeographical factor for the role of temples as places of reconnection with the spiritual plane. Pisces relates to the highest aspects of early christian religion through the christ`s dogma of non-action in the face of violence. But of course is the core factor of the reconnection with spirituality in all religions. Pisces invites mystification making it highly typical for the important role of the cult of relics in medieval christianity. Important examples for that role of Pisces are Cologne Cathedral said to host the shrine that is said to contain the bones of the Three Holy kings (magii, astrologers) which is located in Pisces with Leo, the grave of King Arthur in Glastonbury Abbey located in Pisces – Pisces, the Church of the Nativity in Pisces with Sagittarius and the site of the first Temple in Jerusalem located in Pisces with Taurus.

Astrogeographical position of for morphogenetic field level 3 (surrounding area) which describes the energetical topics and atmosphere of the the whole of the enwalled area of the cathedral, the town of Svétitshovéli and how it is embedded in the larger area: the town is located in the combination of water sign Cancer and Scorpio, a highly typical and ideal constellation for the confluence of 2 rivers. As the sign of rivers, springs, fertility, pregnancy, motherhood, feeling at home and the natural habitat of crabs Cancer stands for the position near or in the river bed. Scorpio as the sign of transformation, metamorphosis, fusion, amalgamation and alchemy resonates with the momentum of the transformation of single rivers into one larger stream. The site of the magical confluence of the 2 main sources of the Ganges River at Devprayag located in the same astrogeographical combination (Cancer + Scorpio) is a classical example for that.
