![]() ![]() ![]() What seems to have been missed by the old school is that Capulus and Algol each have a very positive side to them. Medusa’s Head, the meaning of the Latin title, is being held in Perseus’s hand, which is she is star β in his constellation. Indeed she is, without doubt, counted the most malefic of all stars in astrology, even though Ptolemy gives her the less obviously ominous Saturn-Jupiter styling. Īlgol, alias Caput Medusa, is the Demon herself. This is explained by the fact that Jupiter takes on all of its most perverse meanings: too much heat, as it were, resulting in extremist actions that undo all the beneficial qualities of this planet. It is said to be one of the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous stars in the heavens. įixed star Algol has the nature of Jupiter, but it also has a long tradition as a trouble maker. If their endeavors fail, strong counter forces and enmities will be present. Even then, it has to be noted that those particular persons will have difficulties and obstacles in their way, and they have to use much energy to overcome these handicaps. As everything has two sides, it has to be said that “high spiritual rays” are emanating from Algol also, but only those human beings can receive them who have already reached high spiritual development. It is very difficult to avoid accidents and severe injuries if Algol is conjunction Sun, Moon or the malefics. Primitive natives will be of the base mind with an inclination to brutality and violence, especially when Algol is found together with Mars or Saturn. In spite of the appreciable distance from the ecliptic, this double star’s influence is strongly felt and in more cases, it is a disastrous one. Dr, Lomer wrote in Kosmobiologie, August 1950: “Arabic commanders-in-chief, in times of conquest, made it a point that no important battles were begun when the light of Algol was weak.” In the olden times, people were well aware of this. These will be the hours in which Algol is least bright. If the dark fellow is showing toward Earth’s path, the destructive invisible action is exercised. Derived from the same root as “alcohol.” The dark one has the property of pure Saturn character the lighter one corresponds not only to Saturnian influence but also to Mars-Uranus-Pluto nature. This name is derived from the Arabic Al Ghoul meaning “demon”, “evil spirit”, or “devil”. Rules diamond, black hellebore, and mugwort. It gives success to petitions, makes the wearer bold and magnanimous, preserves the body, protects against witchcraft, and turns evil and spells back upon those who work them. Its image is a human head cut off at the neck. It is the most evil star in the heavens.Īlgol is one of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars. įixed star Algol is of the nature of Saturn and Jupiter (dignified, pious, conservative, acquisitive, retentive.) 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. Īstrologers, of course, said that it was the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens, and it certainly has been one of the best observed, as the most noteworthy variable in the northern sky. The 17th-century English astrologer William Lilly regarded any planet to be afflicted when within five degrees of conjunction. It may be connected to the periodic lucky prognosis in an ancient Egyptian calendar for lucky and unlucky days composed about 3200 years ago. ![]() Medieval Arabic commanders tried to ensure that no important battle began whilst the light of Algol was weak. Historically, it has received a strong association with violence across a wide variety of cultures. Ptolemy referred to it as “the Gorgon of Perseus” and associated it with death by decapitation: mirroring the myth of the hero Perseus’ victory over the snake-headed Gorgon Medusa. In astrology, Algol is one of the most unfortunate stars. This gave her so fearful an appearance that everyone who looked at her was changed into stone. ![]() Medusa, who was the only mortal one of the three Gorgon sisters, was originally a beautiful maiden, but her hair was changed into hissing serpents by Minerva in consequence of her having become by Neptune the mother of Chrysaor and Pegasus in one of Minerva’s temples. Algol Star Algol represents the head of the Gorgon Medusa who was slain by Perseus. ![]()
