"The most evil, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens" - the words in Manly Palmer Hall's Astrological Keywords caught my eye, and I knew I had found my laboratory rat. This was *Algol, Beta Persei,from the Arab Ra's al Ghul - "the Demon's Head". To the Hebrews it was Rosh ha Satan, Satan's Head, and to the Greeks it was the severed head of Medusa, the serpent-haired Gorgon who was so horrible to look at that one glance would turn an ogler to stone. "Violence, beheading, hanging, choking, asphyxiation, electrocution, murder, mob violence." (Just in case you missed the message, Algol is further described as "unfortunate".)

Where our star charts show the head of Medusa clutched under the left arm of Perseus ("The Rescuer"), the Chinese, who had possibly the oldest astrological tradition in the world, saw Beta Persei as Tsi-Chi, The Heaped-Up Corpses, part of an asterism that stretched from 17to 29 Taurus, called Ta-Ling, The Great Burial Trench. It was visible during that part of the year when criminals and tyrannical chiefs were disposed of by dismemberment and cast into a great common grave, as it was unthinkable to bury them in sacred enclosures. It was said that if Tsi-Chi was bright, corpses would be "as numerous as grains of sand on the seashore". If the star was invisible (Algol is an eclipsing binary - every 68 hours and 49 minutes the demon "blinks" for about 2 hours) it was a happy omen and there would be few executions. Ta-Ling was also associated with sickness and troop movements. It is extraordinary that two highly developed yet separate astrological traditions should both perceive this star as distinctly and extremely malefic. Some scholars of the history of science are certain that there were mutual influences between these traditions; one thing I hope to prove is that both the Chinese and the Babylonian scholars could very well have discovered the malefic qualities of this star independently. This ghastly image - the piled-up corpses - gave me my first tool for research; I made a list of all the historical events I could think of that had resulted in a mass of corpses; the Holocaust, the Guyana massacre, the massacre of the Huguenots, the fire-bombing of Dresden, the devastating 1976 T'ang Shan quake in China (300,000-500,000 dead), Hiroshima, etc. (this was not a formal study; I was simply "scouting" to see if there was anything to this star's terrible reputation).

The Holocaust - the deliberate and systematic attempt by an advanced culture to kill an entire ethno-religious group - stands as one of the most appalling episodes in human history. But how to find a date and time to use for a chart? After some reading, I chose the Wannsee Conference in Berlin in 1942, when the Nazi leadership decided to implement "the final solution" - to convert their slave-labor concentration camps into death camps, and to build new death factories to speed the process. This activity was to take precedence over all other priorities-even troop movements and military supply! On the day of the conference, 1/20/42, (11 AM), Uranus, co-ruler of the MC of the Third Reich, was aligned with Algol. Next I tried the Guyana Massacre of 11/18/1978: nothing at Algol, but the Sun exactly opposite the star, which meant that on a helio chart, the Earth (which Edgar Cayce said "ruled flesh") was on Algol. Next I looked up the infamous Massacre of the Huguenots in Paris on the eve of St Bartholomew's day in 1572 (8/23, OS); nothing on Algol, but Mars exactly opposed it, and a chart set for 9 PM LMT had Algol rising. The fire-bombing of Dresden in WWII was next (11 PM, -2, 2/13/45): again, nothing on Algol, but the Sun (and Earth) square it; (These squares and oppositions became part of a pattern; more on this later). The huge T'ang Shan quake was next - in the number of deaths, one of the 3 or 4 worst in known history: 7/28/1976, 3:42 AM, zone -8, 39N30, 117E54. Here I hit paydirt - a Jupiter-Hades conjunction on the star. No planet or angle was on Algol at Hiroshima, but at "Trinity" - the first atomic explosion at Alamogordo, NM just 21 days earlier, Mars culminated on Algol, trined at Hiroshima by Jupiter rising. These experiments intrigued me enough to look further into the fixed star texts, and as a result of this research I have become convinced that one cannot be a good astrologer without knowledge of the major stars, especially in mundane astrology. Indeed, it is possible to do an entire reading based only on star (and black hole) positions! Now: back to Algol....

The French revolution seemed a promising area for research. Beheadings galore, and all the mob violence one could possibly wish for! At first I thought I had drawn a blank; Algol was 23 Taurus 14 then, and none of the outer planets were in Taurus in the 1790's; but thanks to Von Oppolzer's Canon of Eclipses, I discovered that on 5/15/1790 there was a solar eclipse at 23 Taurus 29 - right on target! The "Great Terror" of mass beheadings and mob rule followed as Pluto (in Aquarius) and then Uranus (in Leo), squared the eclipse; the Reign of Terror finally came to an end when Saturn came to Algol, (and thus to the degree of the eclipse), bringing Robespierre himself to the guillotine on the evening of 7/28/1794; (See how nice Saturn can be?) Later, trying out the heliocentric nodes of the planets on the 90o dial, I noticed that Algol is just a little past a semi-square to the heliocentric node of Jupiter, the planet of wealth and privilege; working back by trial and error (precessing Algol at 50.23" per year and adjusting Jupiter's node at 36.39" per year) to find out when the semi-square was exact, it turned out to be the early 1790's! That same 1790 Algol eclipse also announced a plague in Egypt (80,000 dead), and violent slave revolts in Haiti and Santo Domingo.

The next step was to collect data on every historical instance of beheading, suffocation, choking, injuries to the neck and/or head, as well as the other traditional goodies of Beta Persei: (I quote): "Mass tragedies: war, mass murder, fanaticism, ruthlessness, bigotry, propaganda, horror, violence, mass vandalism, mob violence, being torn to pieces, extremes of brutality. Death by hanging, strangulation, electrocution, wounds to the throat and neck." {{Algol has been in Taurus for more than 1800 years, and Taurus rules the neck and throat...perhaps when it gets to Gemini this will change to wounds to the arms and shoulders ??}} "Often found in criminal or murder charts. In mundane charts it may presage great disasters such as mine cave-ins, fires, quakes, riots etc. Extreme sickness."

WORLD WAR II: the SaturnUranus conjunction, helio and geo, goose-stepped back and forth over Algol's longitude through the first 2 years of the war; here's a run-down:

June-July, 1940 As Uranus came to Algol for the first time since 1856, the Nazis blitzkrieged their way through northern Europe; France capitulated, leaving England to fight on alone. Hitler ordered plans drawn up for an invasion of England, and the airborne Battle of Britain began. So fiercely and successfully did the Britons defend their celestial turf that Hitler was forced to "postpone" his decision on the invasion.

September 1940 Uranus stationed at Algol on September 1, as London was battered by massive air raids; (throughout "The Blitz" Uranus stayed with the star).

November 14-15, 1940 With a Full Moon-conjunct-Uranus-conjunct-Algol on the vertex of the city's chart, Coventry was bombed and its 897-year-old Cathedral deliberately shattered -- the Algol conjunction opposed the Cathedral's Saturn. (Coventry data from Wigglesworth).

December 29, 1940 One month after the devastation of Coventry came what many consider the worst of the London raids: the incendiary terror-bombing of 12/29. Mars, that terrible night, exactly opposed the Uranus station on Medusa's Head.

May 6 1941 As Jupiter conjoined Uranus at Caput Medusa Stalin became Premier of the Soviet Union (Algol was his natal Pluto). On the same day the Nazi hierarchy issued a "Decree Regulating the Treatment of Inhabitants of Enemy Countries". No need for specifics here, history has documented the horrors they perpetrated.

May 10, 1941 Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus come together at the terrible star, with Mars in a sinister square from Aquarius; another terrible air attack on London: this time more than 3,000 killed, the House of Commons devastated, Westminster Hall's roof destroyed. (During this time the British, Australians and Germans were fighting bitterly in North Africa, and "wolf-packs" of submarines were taking a terrible toll of the merchant ships carrying desperately needed lend-lease supplies to England. In just this first half of 1941 Great Britain lost 2,900,000 tons of shipping).

June 21, 1941 Exactly on the summer solstice (Hitler had a fondness for paganism) came the treacherous German "Barbarossa" attack on Russia; Saturn was 23 Taurus and Uranus was 28; their midpoint was Algol (5 days later an 8.7 quake hit India).

July, 1941 As Saturn itself reached the star, Russian defenders were still reeling from the Nazi blitzkrieg; one line of defense was only 200 miles from Moscow, and Leningrad had been surrounded and beseiged. In France, the puppet Vichy regime pledged cooperation with their Nazi masters, and started sending French jewish people to the death camps.

November 1941 Saturn had retrograded from its September station on the Pleiades (29 Taurus) and returned to Algol; the German army mounted a fierce offensive to capture Moscow, but a desperate and heroic defence held them off. Strong counterattacks and the severity of Russia's "General Winter" were gradually bringing the Nazi blitzkrieg to a frigid halt. As Mercury came up to oppose Saturn, the Germans were forced to abandon the seige. In the west, peace negotiations between the US and Japan had come to an impass...

December 7, 1941 On this day of Jupiter's perigee on *Rigel, the upraised left foot of the giant warrior Orion, came the devastating Japanese sneak attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Here again Saturn was 23 Taurus and Uranus 28, and again their midpoint was Algol. (Interesting: In August 1945, when Uranus reached Jupiter's Pearl Harbor position at Rigel, the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima...)

January 1942 he infamous Wannsee "Final Solution" conference took place, with Uranus at Algol {{Chiron had been on Algol in the spring of 1933 as Hitler came to power (it was the Chiron/Vesta/Asc. conjunction at his swearing in, 11:16 AM 1/30/33, Berlin; ref: Adolph Hitler by John Toland}}. The first extermination camps were ordered to be built, and concentration camps turned into factories of death.

Spring, 1942 With Saturn now on Algol came the surrender of Bataan in the Philippines, and the notorious forced death march that followed. In May as the SaturnUranus conjunction became exact (on the Pleiades), there was a new moon one degree shy of the Gorgon's Head; this time it marked the tragic surrender of Corregidor, the beginning of the heroic Russian defense of Sevastopol (the previous great siege of Sevastopol, in 1855, followed a solar eclipse on Algol), and two of the most famous naval battles in history - Coral Sea and Midway - immediately followed. In Czechoslovakia, the Nazis razed the town of Lidice and massacred its inhabitants as a "reprisal" for the assassination of one sadistic German officer. From there Saturn and Uranus left Taurus and worked their way towards the Hyades (5 Gemini) and Aldebaran (9 Gemini)-but that's another article...

Caput Medusa is well represented on WWII generals' charts: it was Rommel's NNode, Patton's Neptune, Admiral Canaris' Neptune, McArthur's Pluto; Bradley's Sun squared it from Aquarius, and Jodl's Uranus and Montgomery's SunMercury conjunction in Scorpio opposed it.

Another facet of this ghoulish star is its connection with - how shall I put it? - "horrible heads". The master of hideous make-up, Lon Chaney, had Saturn rising on Algol, trine his MC, which it ruled. Horror film star Bela Lugosi had Neptune on the Gorgon's Head, trine a conjunction of Jupiter (ruler of 1st and 10th) and the NNode. (The 1887 chart of Hollywood has Neptune on Algol). Two instances of face-lift surgery I personally witnessed involved transiting planets on Algol ticking off the natal charts, and in both cases the individuals' heads were quite literally frightening to look at until they healed. Renegade Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky had Pluto in the 10th on Caput Medusa; on 8/20/1940 when Uranus came to Algol and the Sun squared it, he was assassinated on Stalin's orders); a pickax was driven into his head. (Yecchh. I think I should have prefaced this article with a "viewers discretion" advisory... "WARNING...this article contains material that may seem offensive to some of our reading audience")...but hey. To be an astrologer you gotta be tough. Sit back and take a deep breath. If you're feeling stronger, we'll go on. The same 1790 Algol eclipse of the French Revolution also accompanied a terrible famine in India, when parents ate their children; India has had many terrible famines in her history, but this one has gone into the books as the "Skull Famine". (And dare I tell you that 11 days after an 1836 eclipse on Algol, the House of Representatives passed the famous "Gag Rule" tabling all abolitionist petitions? Nah, I'd better leave it out).

September 29 Full Moon – Hope & Glory
August 17, 2012
By Marina

Full Moon September 2012The Full Moon on September 29 is at 7º Aries and on fixed star Alpha Lacerta in the Lizard. This momentous moon is activating the revolutionary Uranus square Pluto. It’s time for the lizard to shed its skin. It is also conjunct the Goddess of Hope, Elpis. This moon will be a testing time to see how we get through a period of crisis without resorting to our usual crutches. Those props can be relying too much on a certain person, taking to the bottle or numbing the pain and zoning out.

If we keep alert and hold on to our hopes and wishes we can make the magic in the skies work for us. Don’t waste this golden opportunity by running scared! Lilith on Perseus’s brave sword and South Node on Medusa’s head Algol gives us the power to slay those nasty old demons that have been bothering us for many years or even for many lifetimes.
Full Moon Horoscope

We had the first Uranus square Pluto back in June and the Moon conjunct Uranus of this Moon is still within orb as it is now of the fixed star Algenib in Pegasus, as Jamie said “makes one a “reformer or agitator“, so the revolutions are set to intensify. The worst will come out with Uranus square Pluto on the destructive fixed star Facies.” Pluto is still on Facies, but now we have a full on Hades Moon:

Moon square Pluto “This is the raging Kali archetype par excellence. …The mother as destroyer can be literal. The moment HMS Titanic struck the Plutonic iceberg the Moon was square Pluto (63′). How symbolic of this aspect, the great ship weighed down by her treasures, plunged deep into the underworld with the loss of so many lives.” Let’s hope we don’t have any disasters. Be vigilant for we are in for a bumpy ride for the next two weeks. Moon conjunct Uranus “can also describe a shock to the infant at a very vulnerable stage in their development, this can leave them feeling rather unhinged….Both the Moon and Uranus are fluctuating and changeable, their emotions often change in a flash.”

Full Moon September 30th horoscopeThe Moon/Uranus conjunction is closest to the fixed star Alpha Lacerta, along with stars in Cepheus the king and in ambitious, high-flying Pegasus. This area of the sky according to Diana K Rosenberg makes people “impatient and aggressive, their pride, ambition and quick temper may create enmities; …responsible, strong willed, combative and eloquent, with powerful visionary imaginations, they espouse their beliefs sometimes to the point of fanaticism” [1]. Add this headstrong and wilful vibe to the full Moon equation, then it’s possible that the revolutionaries will come out in full force. If this square is impacting our natal chart personally then you can expect a shocking change. It could even trigger a Kundalini awakening if the Uranus/Pluto square is striking the sexual planets Mars, Venus or Lilith. Hard aspects will be electrifying, soft aspects will be empowering, but not zapping your pants off.
Hope Springs Eternal

Full Moon SeptemberElpis the Goddess of Hope was the final item in Pandora’s box that did not escape. It’s a bit of a mystery why hope was put in the box of evils. Some commentators say Elpis is “expectation”, which can be or good or bad. Hope as expectation can be negative if you expect the worst. Hope is sometimes the medicine that makes things bearable, but if hope is in vain then it can be considered an evil too. I think the hopeful antidote to this intimidating Full moon is a reassuring grand trine of Ceres, Neptune and Saturn. This trio looks like the hope medicine, Ceres being the herb with Neptune also being dream, but also the risk of wanting drugs to numb the pain. Thankfully Saturn here means sensible doses. Maybe this trine could actually be the positive antidote, getting through the crisis by meditating on our wishes, rather than succumbing to Neptune’s temptations.

The Sabian symbol for this Full Moon is “A woman’s hat with streamers blown by the east wind”. The east wind is Eastern philosophies and spiritual teachings (the meditative trine.) There is a need to adapt to outside forces, shifts of attitudes may be needed. So let spirit guide you and allow these profound Uranus square Pluto changes to bend you, but not break you. A rigid, bigoted attitude will not help. At the same time keeping grounded is important, as you don’t want to be blown off course all together. Keep focused on your dreams, but be open to maybe taking a different route to achieve them.

Momma some demon star is Winking at Me .
