'Astreology'

By Michael Johnathan McDonald

[This article appears on this site with the written permission of the author]

 

The astrologers wrote down all they knew about the movements of the Sun, Moon and planets. Today we continue this study with big telescopes, which is the science of astronomy. Astrology was the real mother of modern astronomy. In the past and Nostradmus’s time – they were the same.

   

The Fixed Stars represent an important and exciting ancient resource of knowledge for astrology on which much solid work has been done in the past and into our own times. But this is not currently a widely known field of astrology and the present work aims to popularize it for the general reader and at the same time to provide its data the greater clarity and organization that can be of assistance to the ongoing research of professionals.

 Up until the Renaissance, the fixed stars used to be a standard part of the astrological art. Nostradamus was most likely "fixed," pardon the pun, on this subject. It is most likely that Scalinger who did much research into stars and had many books and writings on them laying around his house, may vary well have been part influenced Nostradamus in which they had discussions on the topic. This is the most advanced form of astrology in use of mankind and most misunderstood for its obscurity and the difficulty of the practice. You need to know Astronomy or have tables pre-calculated at longitudes and latitudes.  Nostradamus alluded to stars in private letter. He basically referenced a star he had found in a clients chart. He made no further recommendations as too handle the star; but just reminded the person of what they-two had spoken of prior to the letter. This was a good clue to what astrology in the Renaissance was all about. Far be it from Nostradamus to leave any crevice of prophetic knowledge alone. Stars have been used by the ancients throughout history, and records recorded in texts. Another example,  Nostradamus made a peculiar trip to Italy where a certain star book there was being published in Latin. ( See: Nostradamus Astrology )

 

What happened to stars?

 

Well the first thing you notice they all have Arabian names and were therefore named by them. They seemed to rule the world from 650 AD onward until the Renaissance and took over for the west while it was in its Dark Age. As the east declined and the west had a resurgence of culture with a boom in education this marked the downward spiral of stars. Nostradamus was caught on the back end of this trend.

 

So, from the Renaissance onwards the marked fatalism associated with their interpretations fell into disfavor with two modern trends; the new knowledge emerging in the Renaissance that developed into the full blown rationalism of the Enlightenment, and which gave a greater complexity to causation and the Protestant Reformation with its stress on free will. The latter lies at the root of a modern individualism aiming at an autonomy, which had no use for fate. Gradually, as the cult of freedom developed, the fixed stars, along with the also widely used Arabic Parts, began to drop out of astrological usage. There was of course some reason for the modern prejudice and change. As Noel Tyl observes: "The meanings developed around almost all the stars are drastic, promising scandal, death, blindness, upheaval, chaos etc. Perhaps this was ancient astrology's way of grasping the concept of explaining the painful anomalies of life in those times before there was any knowledge of the trans-Saturnine planets".

 

This type of Astrology is quite challenged nowadays as you may well be aware. The west has nothing to do with reality that is fateful. The circumstances that perpetual modes and actions seem to place are indeed taboo. Just like politically incorrect is not tolerated in the public domain. Nostradamus just observed this and par-the-course of what Peter Lemesurier calls his astrology method "Horoscopy." He looked into the past and plotted the future of the lights in the sky. (For me this is only one of the three systems he employed in a single quatrain-see: method synapse below)

 

I say instead of just the visible planets he incorporated the stars and burned his notes. Stars would have been easier for him in a sense that troubled the astrologer’s sources of inner planets ephemeredes of the day - Most being off by a degree or less. Stars were called fixt because they seemed to be in the same position night-after-night. Nostradamus wrote part of one of his almanacs atop a tower in Salon when he needed not even to be their as he could have used any number of ephemeredes available to him, as Laurens Videl pointed out.

 

What was Nostradamus doing there? He was gagging the  risings of stars to his own time-clock (His own observations) These are vary important in the more advanced system of astreology. (Star Science) There is the basic Projected Elliptical Degree (PED), meaning that all stars are not on the same latitude in the sky- so a line was draws at the celestial equator (A mirror of the Earth equator, only in the sky) where the stars are angled into the meridian lined up with the celestial north and south poles and marked off the zodiac in the celestial ecliptic. What is wrong with this, and there were many books that include these PED's because it is sort of universal to classify them. They are not truly where they say they are in the sky. In other words, it's just an imaginary line drawn in the sky. Nostradamus knowing this went out to measure stars for their true position under the [at]Salon night sky. That is to say that, positions are changing all the time and he needed to measure for himself the positions of his time in order to measurements for future positions. Example: on September 11, 2002 over Gemini on the year 2000 the star Betelgeuse (1928 at 28.5 degrees of Gemini) was actually at 11 degrees Cancer at the moment of the Attack and not the PED of 29.5 (Y.2000) Degrees Gemini. This system is used in high-tech astrology (Not vary known) and it seems to have a bigger impact to meanings of the star with the event.

 

If you looked at Jupiter on September 11, you would see that it was transiting at 11 degrees Cancer, the star Betelgeuse. Jupiter being one of the trigon stars Nostradamus mentions in his official letters included in the "Prophecies" as one of the stars that was involved in New York city on September 11, 2002. The star Betelgeuse, which is classified PED is under 29.5 degrees ( About year 2000 ) is classically used as time pieces. (For Horoscopy)

 

So if you were looking out at Jupiter when it was at 29 degrees Gemini, or the PED of Betelgeuse, you would not see it anywhere close to the star. But when you looked at Jupiter and Betelgeuse on September 10 in the nighttime over New York, you would have seen them in alignment.

 

This is called today Astronomy and is what was is termed at the closing of Nostradamus time was coupled all into one and had the name of Astrology. They were both one and the same. Actually myth and circumstances associated with stars and planets came way before their scientific understanding of calculating their true position and is deemed understood in the scientific field.

 

Here is a snit-bit from one of the early master Astronomers. (Yes I said Astronomers) As he made advanced calculated mathematical observations of most of the stars and planets, than put planet meaning to all of them, in which the book was standard for over 1000 years in all astronomy schools throughout the world.

 

Ptolemy - famous Greek astronomer and mathematician, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, in the 2nd century A.D. He  developed what became known as the Ptolemaic System of astronomy, in which the stars and planets revolve around the earth.  He catalogued over 1000 stars and their measurements. And put astrological meaning to most of them.

 

Listen to what he wrote:

Fixed star:  FOMALHAUT According to Ptolemy, it is of the nature of Venus and Mercury;

 

Now this is what astronomy was up until the time of Nostradamus. It really 'all' faded away by the year 1700.

 

Now using Horoscopy and these big transits with the stars as the hidden players, we  will see a big event happen in history. Now instead of using what Ptolemy had to say about stars, Nostradamus as a smart scientist would observe his own calculations of historical events and critically look at them under his own analysis.

 

Now the most complicated facets of astreology is matching up the biggest  influences upon the transiting planets against the stars and incorporating the meaning from various sources. Most of the time what is done in astrologic services is basic databases is only supplied for you and a option for paid for interpretations. Usually a pre-written generalization of dogmatic interpretation is all you get out of these organizations. For your own personal observation is the key. Yes it will take a big chunk out of your life in years of research, but if you need it done right there is no other way. Many people believe that astrologer’s read other astrologers work and that what makes them an astrologer. Not Nostradamus. He matched the motions and cycles of the stars and plants upon the backdrop of history. Society as well, and all other things that were importance- he noted them down on paper and later burnt them. (This we know)

 

What he was hiding was his own keys to Judicial astrology. Here we have unmasked them as you will find out.

 

This ancient art form as described above is right in-with conspiracies, mazes and contradictions, fables. It's fate. It's fear, it's real and it's powerful. Superstitions of the ancients were acumen to this, and it dominated their lives.  There form of Hollywood was to primitive in comparison to the influence of that Hollywood has over our masses subverting our masses out of basic responsibilities to the communities and family. A type of fantasy getaway that gets fated actions taking place when irresponsibility are not dealt with- like basic education and family quiet-time and community involvement- as well as national involvement.

 

Some of the best known Astrologers of our day do not even attempt to believe in Judicial astrology. Or let along know what it is in our time, or what it was in the past. Liz Green, of books on "Saturn" and "Neptune" fame, is one of them. A truly gifted physiologist astrologer, and says she does not believe that astrology predicts fate. “By interpreting the roles of these players (the planets) and their qualities (the elements, signs and houses) and creating a synthesis, astrology is able to present a complete and comprehensive picture of the person and his potential, based on the natal horoscope,“ she says. This would have coerce gone against the grain of the Renaissance era and ‘certain’ epochs of ancient times.

But what most do , like she does is emote that astrology  just shows you what can happen with a way to turn your fate around by personal choices. You can see the seduction of that message against a bleak and dark reality of fate. A sort of garden of Eden, where your fate of eternal bliss is frowned upon, because you become bored, and what something else, and are not satisfied with what you got. This is in comparison to free will, and accepting the seduction of serpent, causing your misery and pains, thus making you believe you live in a world of choices. This illusion may be hard for you to understand, because you believe in yourself as an intelligent choice making human. Yet, what is truth? What really happened, or what you believe happened, or wanted in your own mind? Most want to be it the later. So astrology is a double-edged sword and is highly risky venture in the public domain. Maybe now you understand a little of the fate side that leads to ironies that cannot be escaped regardless how determined you are to change the future. Most like to feel they can change there future. Is the future result of the answer to the addends 1 +1 =2, or is it changed to skeptic James Randi’s version in his opening chapter on his book about Nostradamus.  "No matter what people say, I will always believe," he says, that “ 1 +1=3. “ and nobody can change my mind." He does not want the future to fit into an equation. He leaves his mind open- thus no answer will ever be correct to him?

So astrologers and skeptics on both sides of the issues have their peccadilloes.

 

Now that you have a grasp of what as at hand, you will now enter into the highest astrology ever released on man.

Key terms: Big Boys

The three planets of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Key terms: Dragon

 

The Moon’s Nodes:

North “ head”

South  “tail”

 

What is the Moon’s node?

 

The nodes of the Moon are considered so important that they are used in the same manner as the major planets, with which they are listed. Astronomically the north node (also called the ascending node) is the point where the plane of the Moon's orbit going from south to north intersects the plane of the ecliptic. The south node is the same thing when the Moon is orbiting from north to south. The north node (Dragons head) represents the direction in life that one needs to follow for the sake of inner growth; taking responsibility for the results; the lessons to be learned in life; that which one must receive.

   

Key terms: Node:

One of the two intersections of the orbital plane of a body with a plane of reference (usually the Ecliptic). Also, one of the two points on the Celestial Sphere formed by its intersection with the line of nodes, which is the intersection of the orbital plane with the plane of reference. One of the points is designated as the north (or ascending) node; the other is called the south (or descending) node. The north node is identified by the position of the body when passing from the southern to the northern hemisphere, referring such hemispheres to the north and south poles of the plane of reference.

   

Key terms: Star

 

star    (stär)
n.

  1.  
    1. A self-luminous celestial body consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity in which the energy generated by nuclear reactions in the interior is balanced by the outflow of energy to the surface, and the inward-directed gravitational forces are balanced by the outward-directed gas and radiation pressures.
    2. Any of the celestial bodies visible at night from Earth as relatively stationary, usually twinkling points of light.
    3. Example of stars names: Algol, Anteres, Betelgeuse, Castor, Polux, Sirius.

Key terms: Grand trine

 

Grand trine

a.       Three bodies, each trine to the other two, thus forming an equilateral triangle. Astrologers consider this configuration to increase the strength of all three bodies.

b.      Two planets trine to each other, both of which are trined by a third planet. I use the third planet as the handle and sometimes refer to it as the mathematical equation of the variables.

c.       Super grand trine involves four or more planets in the same triangle configuration.

 

Key terms: Degree

A 360th part of the circumference of a circle; also the angle subtended by such an arc. A degree is divided into 60 equal parts called minutes (of arc), a minute into 60 equal parts called seconds (of arc). Special symbols (°,',") are used to denote specific angles. For example, 15°27'38" refers to 15 degrees, 27 minutes, 38 seconds.

Many of the qualities ascribed to individual degrees have to do with sensitive points created by Eclipses, major conjunctions, or a close conjunction in both longitude and latitude between a solar system body and a fixed star, which points are accented by the transit of another planet at a later date. For ready reference a list of such points is arranged in a zodiacal sequence, which includes: (1) the degrees created by important stars, nebulae and clusters; (2) the planets' Nodes; (3) the points of the planets' position inclusive; and (4) such other degrees which from experience appear to exert a decisive influence.

 

Degrees of Arc Hours and minutes of time 

360°        24 h. 

30°         (1 Sign) 2 h. 

15°         1 h. 

          (60') 4 m 

1'          (60") 4 s 

  

Key terms: Horoscopy

Peter Lemesurier’s term for Nostradamus’s astrology method.

a.         Nostradamus’s methods of astrology using the five known planetoids and the two luminaries (Sun, Moon) matching the Zodiacal signs to dates of historical events.

 

 

Key terms: Heliacal

he·li·a·cal    (h -l -k l)
adj.

Of or relating to the sun, especially rising and setting with the sun. In this case the rising of planets with stars (little suns) we will use parans as co-rising and co-setting and paran relationships.

 

 

Key terms:  Acronychal.


Acronyc \A*cron"yc\, Acronychal \A*cron"ych*al\, a. [Gr. 'akro`nychos at nightfall; 'a`kros + ny`x night.] (Astron.) Rising at sunset and/or setting at sunrise, as a star. In this case the star rising at sunset with planet and/or star setting at sunrise with a planet we will use the term paran.

 

 

Key terms:  Paran

 

Definition:

If a star or a planet is on any of these four points at the same time as a star or planet is on the same point or any of the other three points, then those two plants are in paran.

 

Example A 90-degree aspect that forms a astrological aspect to  a planet to a star. Usually said to be in positions on the power points, 1,3,7,10 houses. As the day moves along, at one point or another if a planet is in paran to a star, it will encircle all these points in a 24-hour period.

 

Key terms:  Projected Elliptical Degree

 

Abb. PED

 

The apparent path of the stars yearly motion through the zodiac as projected against the celestial sphere in Earth-centered astronomy (and geocentric astrology). The plane of the ecliptic is actually the plane of the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system; it is sometimes loosely defined as the mean plane of the Earth's orbit. The ecliptic is inclined at 23°5" to the celestial equator.

For example:

Betelgeuse PED is

  

Fixed star:  BETELGEUSE

Constellation:  Alpha Orion

Longitude 1900:  27GEM21.

Longitude 2000:  28GEM45.

Declination 1900:  +07.23'.

Declination 2000: +07.24'.

Right ascension:  05h55m.

Latitude:  -16.01'.

Spectral class:  M2.

Magnitude:  0.50 Variable.

 

 

 

 

Coordinates for Stars Betelgeuse, Algol

 

Parans' sensitivity to location makes it necessary to create graphs of co-rising/-setting degrees for each star plotted against latitude. These " graphs" or maps," are giving in Bernadette Brady's Fixed Stars Book with all the major stars. You can also go to NASA's web site and use their Astronomy programs to figure out positions of stars as well. Certain astrology programs chart stars but usually only the PED degrees. So don't use them.

Elsbeth Ebertin studied the stars in the first half of the 20th Century.

Co-culmination is where the co-rise and co-set intersection meet.

for Jupiter it is 28 degrees of Gemini. Note that when reading what has been said if you do not pay attention to the date, you will get confused. A star movement is roughly one degree for every 72 years. It's not exact so to get to NASA for accurate data.

 

 

Now as stars and Earth are not on a single plane and Earth rotates as well as revolves around the Sun, the stars position moves in all sorts of directions across the horizons. Example is that as the latitude changes, so dos the horizon line of the circle changes its orientation ship to the stars. The important point is that the full circle of the horizon is used, not just the eastern and western points of the ecliptic. As already mentioned, the mathematical system used by the ancients star gazers is what is called parans. It is a single concept. Imagine you have a 360 degree clear view of the horizon and picture it as a starry night. If you look eastward you will see stars rising. They will be rising on a half the circle of the horizon, not just due east. As you watch a star that is rising northeast of you, there may be, at the same time, another star in the southeast also rising. The two stars rising simultaneously are said to have a paran relationship, aspected by the horizon line, which is the strait line that joins the stars together. Similarly, a star may be rising as a star is setting, and this line is the mathematical formulation that we are using and so these two stars are also in paran relationship.

 

So if you see the Moon or Venus rise or set and at the vary same time a star rises or sets, then the moon is said to be with the star in a paran relationship. Sometimes said they co-rise together.

 

Another point in the sky that is deemed of prime importance is called the culmination point. If you are standing outside facing either south or north, try to imagine an invisible line directly over your head. This would be called the culmination point of the exact time you are picturing it in your mind. You are under the MC, or Midheaven. Stars anywhere along this line are said to be culminating. For example, the exact moment of birth of former president William Clinton had the star Betelgeuse culminating as he came out of his mothers womb. In the chart, the 10 house cusp is the culmination point and that is where Betelgeuse is placed in his chart.

 

The culmination point adds another possibility for a paran placement. And that would be a star or a planet rising or setting just as another planet or star is culminating. Remember that we are dealing with a circle here so there must be an opposite axis. A star can be there are well, and so this placement is named "nadir."

 

So there are four points where parans can appear.

 

The rising side of the horizon circle.

The setting side of the circle

The upper part of the prime meridian, or " culminating"

The part opposite this below the horizon, or "on the nadir"

 

So it is said that if a star or a planet is on any of these four points at the same time as a star or a planet is on the same point or any of the other three points, then these two planets or stars or combinations of both are in paran.

 

 

For example :Using  Castor, the alpha star of Gemini, one of the Twins (Polux is the other) and September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The star is observed at the latitude of 40 degrees North. (Approximate New York City) will be seen rising at 10 degrees of the ascendant in Cancer. Now if any planet is at 10 degrees at that moment than they would be said to be in paran, both rising together. Hijacked passenger jet, American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston, Massachusetts, crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center, tearing a gaping hole in the building and setting it afire. Tower number two, (Actually the first tower hit) Polux the other twin, was culminating the MC of Manhattan, New York. The great twins of the sky are directly overhead and the great twins of the earth are directly below. “As above so below.”

 

Positions of Betelgeuse and Algol

 

Beyond 40 degrees north Algol does not set at all. So it is said to be in curtailed passage. That means the star never sets. Algol Co-culminates at 18 degrees Taurus. I use this point as a major axis line because this is where Algol's co-rising and co-setting cross there paths. When Algol is rising over Los Angeles it is about 11 degrees of Aries. Algols PED is Longitude year 2000: 26TAU10. (Constellation: Beta Perseus)

 

Now I will use the co-culmination point for this piece for all Algol calculations.

 

Observed attributes by (Robson).

If culminating: Murder, sudden death, beheading, prone to murder and mischief. If at the same time in conjunction with Sun, Moon or Jupiter, gives victory over others in war. I will use planets paraning to to Algols co-culminating position.

_

 

History of the star: This star, beta Perseus, marks the head that the Hero Perseus is carrying under his left arm. Algol is the "Head of Gorgon Medusa".

 

Algol changes its brightness, because it is an eclipsing binary - every 68 hours and 49 minutes the demon "blinks" for roughly 8 hours as the dimmer star of the pair passes between the brighter star and the earth. Ancient Arabs thought it was spooky, and called the star Algol, or Al-Ghul (1), which means "The Ghoul" or "Demon Star", and Ri'B al Ohill, the "Demon's Head". It is said to have been thus called from its rapid and wonderful variations. Algol is the most famous of the eclipsing variables and the only one known of in ancient times. This behavior was attributed to a pulsing eye of the Gorgon Medusa.

 

the Gorgon's head, a ghastly sight, deformed and dreadful, and a sight of woe - Iliad.

 

"The Blinking Demon", "the Spectre's Head" are common names. Al Ghul literally signifies a "Mischief-maker".

 

The Hebrews knew Algol as Rosh ha Sitan, "Satan's Head", or "the Devil's Head"; also as Lilith, Adam's legendary first wife, believed to have been in existence before the creation of Eve. She is believed to be the nocturnal vampire from the lower world.

 

The Chinese gave it the gruesome title Tseih She, the "Piled-up Corpses". Astrologers say that it was the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens. (Allen).

Fixed star:  BETELGEUSE

Constellation:  Alpha Orion

PED Position :Longitude 1900:  27GEM21. Longitude 2000:  28GEM45.

 

 

Vivian Robson observed,

If culminating: Great military fortune, command, invention, ingenuity and helps in the perfection of arts and sciences. If at the same time with Sun, Moon or Jupiter, ample fortune and great honor.

 

I observed a more direct link to the archetype Zeus and his whole character. Making war on humans and tremendous success and lasting fame, lying, murder, sex, wealth and largeness.

 

In mundane: prosperity in trade and particularly in voyages or abroad.

 

History of the star: An orange star (or "ruddy") marking the left armpit of Orion, the Great Hunter, or Giant.

 

Bullinger called it "The Coming of the Branch".

 

The Arabic name for Betelgeuse is Yad al-Jauza' (1), "Hand of Orion". Betelgeuze is from Ibt al Jauzah, or bait al-Jauzah "the Armpit of the Central One". Variations are Bed Elgueze, Beit Algueze, Bet El-geuze, Beteigeuze, Yedelgeuse etc., down to the present title.

 

 

Placed in the angles, preferment, luck, success and everlasting fame are promised. On the Ascendant and in conjunction with Mars there will be danger of death by lightning, fire, explosions, firearms or similar things. E. Ebertin recorded that in June and July of 1927, when the Lunar Node was in conjunction with this fixed star, that groups of people died by lightning or were victims of explosions or assassination. (Ebertin). I observed the terrorist attacks as the lunar node was connected to Betelgeuse PED position as well as the Co- rising of Betelgeuse over New York on the day of the attack. Jupiter culminated with Betelgeuse over New York city as the terrorist commandeered the aircraft that day. Note: Jupiter, ample fortune and great honor, two attributed involved that day. Ample fortune was seen on the side of the terrorist and the great honor were the New York City policeman and firefighters and citizens.

 

Jupiter rising coordinates for New  York is 11.5 degrees of Cancer.

 

 

History: Constellation:  Orion The Giant. The Hunter

It was already known as Orion by 425 BCE, and there are connections in ancient legend with Ares, god of war. The Bible makes reference to this famous group. God, while pointing out how all-powerful he was, asked Job if he was able to "loose the bands of Orion" (Job 38.31).

 

The ancient Jews sometimes called these stars Nimrod, a biblical figure who was bound to the heavens for disobeying God, whence perhaps came the Bands, or Bonds, of Orion, which some say should be Cords, or a Girdle; but the conception of Nimrod as "the mighty Hunter before the Lord," at least in the ordinary sense of that word, is erroneous, for the original, according to universal Eastern tradition, signifies a Lurking Enemy, or a Hunter of men rather than of beasts. War is the hunting of the opposing men army.

 

Orion has played a major role in the trigger points all the 12 Century wars I have looked at. You will began to see, that in order to predict accurately that a war will happen. It may possibly, if it is on a large scale, involve this Constellation and was a Taurus.

Terrorist Attack on New York City

September 11, 2001

 

 

Osama bin Laden financed and backed by Saudi Arabia.

 

Betelgeuze

Rose over New York with Jupiter on this day- Super Powerful. Possibly planed by Taliban as their astrologer in antiquity gave special importance to this star. The Arabic name for Betelgeuse is Yad al-Jauza. The star also was designated by various Arabian authors as Al Mankib, the "Shoulder"; Al Dhira, the "Arm"; and Al Yad al Yamna', the "Right Hand", — all of the Giant.

 

Great military fortune, command, invention, ingenuity and helps in the perfection of arts and sciences. If at the same time with Sun, Moon or Jupiter, ample fortune and great honor.

 

Danger of death by lightning, fire, explosions, firearms or similar things.


Elsbeth Ebertin recorded that in June and July of 1927, when the Lunar Node was in conjunction with this fixed star, that groups of people died by lightning or were victims of explosions or assassinations. If culminating:  As the Terrorist began the initial hijacking of the planes. "Great military fortune, command, invention, ingenuity and helps in the perfection". 

 

Pollux 

 

The Twins Culminated at the point of the planes hitting the World Trade Towers

 

A "yellowish" or "reddish," star positioned on the head of the Southern Twin, "the immortal Twin" in the constellation of Gemini. The other Twin Castor is the mortal one.  Together the Twins were "the Two Gods of Sparta." In America World Trade Center twin towers were the two twins trophies of Capitalism success. Helical rising culminating at point of first impact: Honor and preferment but danger of disgrace and ruin. Violent death and called the evil twin of Castor.

Pollux has a strong martian nature and has the name 'the wicked boy' of the of the sibling Twins. According to its nature, this star is brutal and tyrannical, violent and cruel if in conjunction with the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, MC or with malefics. Which it was.  

Algol

Algol and Betelgeuze Co-Set with Saturn on this day! So powerful are these two stars, this was the main focal point of the disaster. General influence of the star: It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens. Betelgeuze is success and Algol is death and Saturn is solid structures

The Chinese gave it the gruesome title Tseih She, the "Piled-up Corpses". Astrologers say that it was the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens. It played the major role as it was involved the Super Grand Trine.

 

Moon and Mars

Moon/Mars opposition is the timing of death in the chart. Along with Betelgeuze Degree of culmination of the midpoint of Moon/ Mars over  north/south nodes in the air/fire sign axis of travel. Along with New York whose city is Cancer and ruled by the Moon in the 9th house of the Sky God.

With Mars or Saturn: and the Moon at the same time with Sadalmelek, hanging or decapitation by royal command; if the Moon is with Denebola in this case the Sun was, death by judicial sentence. In other words, from a planned out time to cause  the maximum death, It was also Mohammad’s anniversary of his birth day..

Sun Heliacal rose with Denabola

This Combo happens every year about the same time. But this time as all the planets gathered for battle. This unique paring also Acronychal setting degree transited the ascendant at the moment of impact doubling up and blending in with the Super Grand Trine of evil.

Denobola as a star in general will trigger if activated a change in values and ways of life.

It marked the Arabic 10th mansil, Al Sarfah, the "Changer", i.e. of the weather (it also brings political changes and changes in society; Woodstock for example), Al Biruni wrote of it; "The heat turns away when it rises, and the cold turns away when it disappears."

Influence of the constellation: The Lion is associated with the Hebrew letter Kaph and the 11th Tarot Trump "Strength". The Airplane number was 11. The biggest part is With Sun: Honor ad preferment with danger, public disgrace and finally ruin, disease, fevers and acute
ailments, death by suicide.

 

Taliban connection to the future from the star. If reading the star before and after segments on the ascendant/descendent axis one of the four most power points:  preferment and good fortune attended by many dangers and anxieties through own folly, benefits seldom last. This seems to be the case.

 

Capricorn and Caner make up the MC-IC power axis, and is seen by the ancients to be in charts of major catastrophes.

 

Alpheratz, Markab, Sadalmelek, Saturn. Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, Ascendant

Super Grand Trine

 

 This Super Grand trine tells the whole story. Surprises is what it brings. A calmness before the storm. These big three stars all co- rising in Aquarius in conjunction trined (secondary paran) to the point of impact, the ascendant in trine with Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune and Uranus's midpoint to form a nice tight Super Grand Trine. The Degree is what is look for.

 

 The Ascendant with Mercury at the moment of impact tells a tale in its self because the god Mercury was always carrying messages in flight to the other gods. Yes Flight! As in airplanes. He also was part of surprised visits.

Markab has a connection to knives and sharp objects. The star causes cuts, blows and violent death.

Sadalmelek: is considered lucky by the Arabians. The star means the "Lucky ones of the King." As Mercury represents travel and is in Libra the sign of air, one can see the outcome. If the star is used for evil, it emanates strange events, scandalous, and death and destruction.

Alpheratz: Fight for freedom and battles of major political issues, motivation, willfulness.

Antares and Pluto

This transit has been hanging around for a few years. Antares is a red binary star, fiery red and emerald green, near the center of the constellation Scorpius and was sometimes called "the Heart of the Scorpion". It is often more visible than the planet Mars and is sometimes confused with it when the positions are close. One of Antares' translations is Anti-Ares, meaning "Rival of Mars". The ancient inscriptions make much of it in connection with the planet Mars. This is one of the four key stars in the heavens, also called archangel stars. Michael (Aldebaran) watcher of the East. Gabriel (Fomalhaut) watcher of the South. Raphael (Regulus) Watcher of the North. Oriel (Antares) Watcher of the West. At one time they marked the two Equinoxes and two Solstices. Aldebaran marked the zero Aries point in 3044 BC, Antares marked zero Libra 3052 BC, Fomalhaut marked zero Capricorn, 2582 BC, Regulus marked zero Cancer 2345 BC. As one of the four Royal stars of Persia it's name was Satevis; but, as their lunar asterism, it was Gel, the "Red"; the Sogdians changing this to Maghan sadwis, the "Great One" saffron-colored.

Influence of the constellation: The Scorpion is associated with the Hebrew letter Oin and the 16th Tarot Trump "The Lightning-Struck Tower". Pluto's far out collective consciousness blended with this star will show what the masses collectively all feel about identifying with security because of Pluto in the second house placement of point of impact.

Tranist: General influence of the star: It causes malevolence, destructiveness, liberality, broad-mindedness, evil presages and danger of fatality and makes its natives rash, ravenous, headstrong and destructive to themselves by their own obstinacy. Antares makes people tough, belligerent and pugnacious. This is an important star for military personnel and is said to convey mental alertness, strategic ability and courage and to make dare-devils, especially if tied up with the MC, Ascendant, Sun or Jupiter. Pluto sextiles Ascendant. Pluto the lord of the underworld in the second house with the star-Algol and Saturn-Mars opp. Moon and the stars and don't forget Jupiter and Betelgeuse rising together over New York insuring the absolute success of the attack. Well one must understand in the smoke filled den caves where Bin Laden lays his back after injecting high poppy doses of pure heroin. They must have came up with the idea to consult the ancient Arabic tradition of looking the stars.

 

How people collectively felt Sun squares the star: Pretended religion, insincere, honor and riches ending in disgrace and ruin, military preferment, danger of treachery, violence committed or suffered, fevers and sickness, violent death.

 

 

Betelgeuse:

With Jupiter: Serious and studious mind, shrewd and profitable business dealings, great honor in the Church or law. We saw Islam succeed in their Church [religion] against the west on 911 as these two planets played out their roles. Along with long lasting fame, it seem to foot the bill as it rose over New York.

   

 

 

As I detailed what was in the sky September 11, 2001 in my " Stars of 911" writings, you can see that the trigon was present against the canopy of the "Big Boys." The big boys make up the inner circle of powerful stars that have been documented by only a handful of practitioners down threw the ages. These include on that day, of course, Betelgeuse, Algol, Sirius, Castor and  Polux and Antares and others.

 

Markab, a big star in his own righ is secondary position in the stars force hierarchy. I did not include these in this piece as I have no time, but these are the secondary stars that played a major influence on the day as well, they are, Sadalmelek, Alpheratz, Markab, Denabola and Hamel. ( See: Super Grand Trine)

 

The keys positions that double and triple force of planets and stars is called the power axis - it consists of the four signs Capricorn/ Cancer Aries/Libra and play the right angles of all the charts angle houses (1,4,7,10). Jupiter with Betelgeuse, Mars and Mercury, Dragons heads were in these axes. This is an amplifier or a trigger point that means a manifestation into the physical world, like a doorway from the outside. The ancients said that the world wide "flood" we all have been taught in school, happened during the planets positions all being lined up in this power axis. ( Most notably, Capricorn or Cancer)  Other worldwide catastrophes were also recorded under these same circumstances. (See: Sumerian records) 

 

Now since September 11, as Jupiter touched Betelgeuse and past it, it has been keeping a backwards (by an illusion) motion as the world revolves around the sun in what is called retrograde back into the early degrees of  the sign Cancer and turned back forward and is now heading out of the sign this time for good( Late April early May ) and will forge ahead and go beyond to scan the zodiac once again. But before it dose, it will be burrowing across the true position of Betelgeuse once again, ( For the third time in this cycle) and since these are two major players in the sky, You can use the Horoscopy method to predict that something major will come about. It will, trust me. Fantasy is all that it is. Unreality.

 

(Prediction – Area) (See: Dragon Head)

 

This time Jupiter is the only player in the Power Axis. (Capricorn/ Cancer Aries/Libra) There is no dominating grand trines in this one, so easy moods will not be present but something major as attack may not occur. So a surprise is less likely as things tend to be bulked up and opposed by Pluto. What can happen is agreements and hard-pressed discussions that have extremely (Negative/Positive) lasting effects on the world. (See: Dragons Head lined up to)

 

The Dragon is at 19GEM03 on April 14, 2002

 

Fixed star:  NIHAL

Constellation:  Beta Lepus 

PED Longitude 2000: 19GEM40

 

Influence of the constellation: It gives a quick wit, timidity, circumspection, fecundity and defiance.

 

this constellation nature all but gives wings and flight through the air - such will be the vigor of limbs which reflect the swiftness of the winds.  One man will come off winner in the footrace before even receiving the signal to start; another by his quick movement can evade the hard boxing-glove and now lightly avoid, now land a blow; another can with a deft kick keep in the air a flying ball, exchanging hands for feet and employing in play the body's support, and execute with nimble arms a volley of rapid strokes ; yet another can shower his limbs with a host of balls and create hands to spring up all over his body with the result that, without dropping any of the number, he plays against himself and causes the balls to fly about his person as though in answer to his command. Such a man devotes wakeful nights to his concerns, for his energy banishes sleepiness (according to Aelian, the hare sleeps with its eyes open) whilst he spends happy workfree hours in games of divers kinds. (Manilus, book 5 of Astronomica, 1st century AD).

 

PLANET

Saturn: Wide Conjunction to the Dragon ( Little more than 8 degrees)

The Dragon is at 19GEM03 on April 14, 2002

Fixed star:  BELLATRIX

Constellation:  Gamma Orion 

Longitude 1900: 19GEM33 Longitude 2000: 20GEM57

 

 

 

(BELLATRIX Gamma Orion)

Influence of the constellation: It is said to give a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, and prosperity in trade and particularly in voyages or abroad, but danger of treachery and poison. It was thought by the Romans to be very harmful to cattle and productive of storms. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump "The Juggler".

The Key word is Juggler here!

 

Colin Powel and the Bush administration and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the Al Saud's family are trying to get what they want while not biting that hand that feeds them.(U.S.A.) Also balancing the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and the suicide bombings going on  there.

 

The Middle East is exactly what is going on. How can America Juggle peace in the middle east as well as appease Saudi Arabia by stopping Israel of slaughtering Jews and Keep the oil interests afloat.

 

So we see Saturn that rules the structure or main frame of anything including the government ( Politics) in a "Juggling" of all these elements colored by BELLATRIX Gamma Orion)

Influence of the constellation linked with Saturn forming a approaching conjunction with the Dragons head. Now  we will off set what will also be influencing this time by the major stars as well.

   

 

We will have a similar respect to Mars, Pluto, Dragon and Moon on the 29 of April.  And this Mars/Pluto/Dragon connection - the similar connection of 911 (And historical catastrophes such as war and death)  will be present for 30 days.

 

Pluto position is no longer close to Antares's PED position as it was on September 11,2002. [archetype- a major star]  Saturn is rushing back to acronychal set with Algol. But, he will not make the exact transit with enough time when Jupiter transits Betelgeuse. It will be close, but the key for us will be the destiny angle played by the Head and not the tail of the dragon. As head plays the forward role.

 

 

On may 9th, there will be the emergence of the three (Mars/Pluto/Dragon) together and one at opposites close on the same angle. About 17.5 Gemini. Now note that Saturn did his own ballet dance back and forth (retrograde) through the sky since September 11, 2001 as Betelgeuse did. He will be right back over Algol as he was on September 11, 2001 in the first two weeks of May. So we have a true Horoscopy match. We will couple this match with Jupiter/Betelgeuse so now we have two true matches and two pieces of the Nostradamian trigon puzzle all figured out.

 

Here is where it starts to get exciting.

 

 

Horoscopy of the 20th Century

 

Enter-

1990 Horoscopy:

 

The Gulf War: 

 

Jupiter is moving into its Cancer position over Betelgeuse (Orion) in the beginning of the year. We now look at histories big events to get a Horoscopy match to just this one aspect. It is easier to start off looking for just one match then and them looking for the rest. It may take some time but it pays off.

 

 We will match it to September 11, 2001 aspect first as we will take in count that the Horoscopy we are placing here is the cycle of Jupiter conjunction over the star Betelgeuse. Now in regards to terrorists and America, what comes to mind? A little matter we had in Iraq and a man named Saddam Hussein. So we look there first. He was in essence terrorizing U.S. oil interests in Kuwait [middle east] and we have the same thing happen about U.S. oil interests in September 2001. We have matched major wars against races of people on two sides of the hemisphere of the globe.

 

This is called a pinpoint. We just have pointed out two correlations of historical happenings occurring under similar circumstances between two objects in the sky that have met, plus two similar events in the context of time on Earth. “As above so below,” as the Bible goes. In  Astreology, one a star is vary far away and close in contrast, a planet in our own solar system makes up the ladder rungs of levels. So distance is the factorization here. earth, planetoid, star is the order of the measurement of the angles.

 

 

(Prediction Section)

May 11, 1990 Jupiter is rising in early Cancer degrees  over southern United States and will make its third pass with Betelgeuse this cycle. In comparison to  September 11, 1989 Jupiter [7 degrees Can.] is rocking Orion. Just as it does in 2001-2002 (See: History). 

 

Astreology

October 1989 Jupiter with Betelgeuse is exactly rocking the Northern Latitudes of U.S.A. In particular New York City!

 

 

October 1989 Jupiter with Betelgeuse is exactly rocking the Northern Latitudes of U.S.A. In particular New York City!

Bush Sr. is president of United States of America and soon the Gulf war that will be ahead of him in the coming months will be about Oil in the Middle East.

 

 

You can say Saddam Hussein’s August 2   Iraq invades Kuwait surprised and shocks the world. (Note Grand trine) Jupiter passes Sirius PED (Orion) in June and July and will be making a true landing (Conjunction over the Southern Latitudes of America) on August 1990.

 

September 11, 1990 Jupiter comes home to Sirius (Orion) true Heliacal Rising over New York. America is preparing for war over its oil interests.

 

The stars of Orion include Jupiter, sometimes called he Evil King, making war with the humans as he sits in his lofty throne in his cloud palace. ( See Greek Myth)

 

We have a star-planet Astreology (Horoscopy) match with matching general historical circumstances on the basic general levels!

 

 

Astreology 1991-Match

(Gulf War Begins) January 17   Allied attack begins with Apache strike at 2:38 A.M.

Mars will enter in a number of Hours the house of Gemini- Jupiter/Orion rocking hard.

 

Historical matches of earth, planetoid, star. Let’s move on.

 

 

·         Processes- Horoscopy match first, then Astreology match second.

 

2002 April 12, a number of hours and Mars will enter Gemini and Jupiter is rocking Orion. We have a match.

Now Mars in both cases of crisis time in 1990 and 2001-2 is transiting Gemini- bingo!

Two of the trigons are accounted for! Lets get the third! :D

[but do not forget the Dragon- its a central indicator]

 

Middle east is at war with U.S.

 

Saturn the third trigon here were talking about, has is repeated (Horoscopy) conjunction to the Dragonhead while the Allies are battling it out with these easterners. As Mars transits Gemini and Jupiter rocks the stars of Orion! So we are cooking baby! We have a lead.

 

Now lets get into some mind-blowing facets on the exact time of the attack on New York and the exact time of invasion by Saddam Hussein Iraq invades Kuwait so we can connect the dots of history.

 

The trigons don't upset....do they?

 

Super Grand Trines:

Both are present on point-blank time. (The exact time of the attacks that occurred [trigger])

 

Astreology Horoscopy:

Venus trine Pluto:

New York: Yes.

Kuwait: Yes.

 

Moon

Variables:

Gemini/Sagittarius Axis [line]!

New York: 28 Gemini and "Void of Course"

Kuwait: 27 Sagittarius and "Void of Course."

 

You can see that the skies are looking close to the same. The same activities are closely related here as well! This is called Nostradamus Judicial astrology. In other words this is PA, or Perpetual Astreology using three ladder rungs (systems) of calculations.

 

Now lets start the predicting stage; what 's up next? We know that Bush will decide on Iraq to attack next. Lets look for clues? As the same " Swapping can apply here!" And we use it in mathematical equations using the X as the exponent between the Stars (One set of properties) and the Planets ( A different set of Properties)

 

Right now in Late April- early May we have Mars, Venus, and Saturn on the Gemini/Sagittarius axis [line]! They are close in a bundle! Also a term called a Stellium. A group of five or more planets in one Sign or House. In an angle it portends great changes of fortune, the good and the bad coming in patches. Heavy falls are succeeded in due course by a spectacular comeback, and vice versa. Such persons usually have many acquaintances, but few real friends. They can hardly fail of considerable recognition at some periods of their lives. ( See Bill Clinton’s Chart for a first house angle stellium as example; he has many acquaintances, but few friends and spectacular comebacks and setbacks (heavy falls ) and good and bad time coming in patches.) But three planets in a bundle also have these effects that I have notice my self. So the rule by whoever is in the extreme with five and over bodies in a bundle. If three planets are opposed by one of the three outer (Neptune, Uranus, Pluto) than this stellium effect will apply as both sides act as a sea-saw against each other.

 

Attack 1990 August 2, Iraq comes to the fore of world consciousness, as these same planets inhabit this same axis. (Gemini/Sagittarius line! ) We know attacking Iraq will kick off stage two on the “War on Terrorism.” Because Jupiter is rocking Orion at the moment and the swapping [exponent] of the bi-polar activities of the axis means the same planets are lined up. Mars, Venus, Saturn.  Saddam is influenced and his natal [birth chart] chart is ruled by these three planets, then we will see this issue take place. We connected person’s personal planets to current time- that’s all. (See: His chart for details)

 

Both the Moons bi-polar axis is on the Gemini/Sagittarius line as well [at opposites] on attack day.

 

Sum this section up!

 

Big events! Matched stars with planets, matched axes and signs and degrees and aspects, all making up similar historical events!

This is Judicial Astrology like you have never seen before.

Just like Nostradamus used to say, Idiots and soothsayers - stay far away!

 

This concludes a lesson on just one astreology methods in the “Three Steps” of Nostradamus will use to acquiring knowledge for one written prophecy!

 

Nostradmus's Three Steps

1) Know all about Life - in it's History and all aspects of humankind.(education)

2) His method of Judicial Astreology, Archetype Personal Astreology(Perpetual)

3) Time Travel
