Alpha Librae, Binary Star

[phoebosacerales]

hello! I'm curious about something, what houses or planets in solar return chart/transits can indicate getting in trouble with the law?? I get it may be a very ambiguos question and dificult to answer. Maybe Jupiter has something to do with it?

It probably depends on what you mean by trouble with the law. I enjoy this question, because I never thought about this, so don't take this as my definitive answer, this is just me trying to think about this by establishing principles first.

I think there is often a misunderstanding in the interpretation of Jupiter as the law. I think it's more about Jupiter's role as justice itself and as keeper of the "order of the cosmos", of morals, ethics; he makes the laws, but he's a benevolent judge, he rejoices in the 11th house, and as Vettius Valens says he signifies "relief from troubles, release from bonds, freedom"¹, so I think Jupiter will be actually of help in these circumstances.

At first I think a planet that might be worth watching for is the Sun, which according to Valens is about "the ordinance of the gods, judgement, authority"² and a bad relationship to solar themes is what I think could be the closest thing to trouble with the law. Combustion can be read as servitude or imprisonment. And the 9th house, also known as "God" and the Sun's joy, signifies the court and judiciary.

Saturn is the ultimate challenger of authority actually, he's irreverent, he signifies imprisonment as it's the opposition to the authority, the Sun. He's Nemesis. I think it's pretty safe to say that if you have anything to do with the 12th house or Saturn it's always better to try to stay out of trouble. Valens says Saturn signifies "interminable lawsuits, subversion of business, secrets, imprisonment, chains, griefs, accusations".³

The 7th is famously used in the judgement of legal disputes. It's about enemies, adversaries.

Now, I couldn't really think of charts of people who "get in trouble with law" often, so I got in a tangent and I was trying to think of the anti of this character: people who are famous for escaping punishment, or just for doing well for themselves in court or legal disputes. Funny that I ended up thinking of 4 people and coincidentally all of them are Leo risings: OJ Simpson, Donald Trump, Johnny Depp and Ted Bundy. Even if at the end they get a negative balance, these are all very authoritative and charismatic people, who always try and have something go their way. For now I think it's just coincidence, maybe it's just because the Sun is in Leo right now and that's the energy that came first, but given what we know about the Sun, this probably a situation of "who watches the watchmen", right?

Let's look at Trump, for example. He's an obvious orange Leo rising who also has Regulus on the ascendant, the alpha star of the Lion. The Sun is in the 11th house, which, as we've already estabilished, it doesn't harm him at all and gives him much much luck. The Sun also has dignity in the 9th by exaltation and sees Jupiter by trine. Jupiter is relieving him ALL the time. Recently that immunity story sounded a lot like Regulus giving a god-king status, he's the watchman and no one will watch him. The danger comes from the north node on the Sun, Mars (9th ruler) on the ascendant and the Moon (12th ruler) opposing the Sun. But Mars is disposed by the Sun in a good and superior aspect, so Mars just works for him. The Moon is disposed by Jupiter, his benefic and reliever. This year he's in a 7th house profection, activating his Saturn in the 12th, and his Solar Return doesn't look good at all, which is one of the reasons why he won't win this election and why he's been having a tougher time. But Saturn doesn't have anything to do with the Sun or the ascendant, so it's hard to say he'll ever get imprisoned.

My second example is Johnny Depp, who similarly has the Sun in the 11th. Jupiter is IN the 9th house (the court), exalting him and making good aspects: a sextile to the Sun and a trine to the ascendant, so this is insane protection. Jupiter is on Alpheratz, a star that also gives freedom and relief from troubles. The ruler of the 11th is Mercury conjunct Venus in the most powerful house, which means his fandom is really there for his public image. Both are with Algol, which sometimes can be the strongest (vengeful) protector especially with benefics. The Moon doesn't see him, Mars is already way behind in comparison to Jupiter, and Saturn is a strong enemy but not really working as well against him as Jupiter for him. I won't get into it, but during the famous trial against Heard he was in an 11th house profection, his SR was really interesting and it also had Leo rising.

In OJ Simpson's chart we see the same ascendant again, so we'll look at similar things, but this is the first chart that has a clearer indication of someone who gets deprived of freedom or excluded from society, and he did go to jail for a little bit eventually for something else, because he does have the ascendant ruler in the 12th, together with Mercury and Venus while the Moon sees them, and Saturn in the 1st, so his reputation doesn't escape as well. Mars is in the 11th house, which can signify judgement working for his benefit. His Sun is also with the star Sirius, of the nature of Jupiter and Mars, which gives honors, fame, popularity, besides being also dangerous. His "dream team" is Mercury, and they're in another star that gives much of the same significations. During his long murder trial he went through a 12th house profection and it ended in his 1st house profection. Interesting, right? The Sun in Cancer exalts Jupiter and makes a beautiful trine to it, and ultimately relieves him. Jupiter is close and right in between the stars of the Scales, which I'll come back to.

Ted Bundy was the most charismatic serial killer who gained fans during his trial, which was one of the craziest ones in this regard. He has Saturn in the 1st, same as OJ Simpson, but the Sun is in Sagittarius. And his chart doesn't look as good: the Sun was just eclipsed, it's conjunct Mars, it applies a trine to Saturn and can't see Jupiter or Mercury, so there's no saving him. His fandom (Mercury) is strong but obscure and weird in the 4th and doesn't save his reputation (Venus). This is also the first night chart that we're looking at, so the Sun isn't as strong and Saturn is the greater malefic: disputes go worse for him and he doesn't have Jupiter or Mercury in sight to relieve him. He was executed in a Saturn profection. And also like in OJ's chart, there are 2 significant stars on those planets in Scorpio: the northern and southern scales of Libra, also known as the scorpion's claws. The 10th ruler is with the northern one, of the nature of Jupiter and Mercury, and this one is famous for making lawyers and giving success in legal disputes. He was a law student and arrogantly tried to act as his own lawyer. This is a good star to have for reputation and to stay out of trouble for a little bit, but it wasn't enough, Venus is still in bad shape. He was sentenced to the death penalty: Jupiter as the ruler of the 8th house of death is with the southern and punishing scale, of the nature of Saturn and Mars. You'll find exactly how significant this star is in his chart on the Constellation of Words website, but to keep it short I'll just emphasize Robson's signification for when it's with Jupiter: "Hypocrisy, deceit, dishonesty, pretended religious zeal for business purposes, danger of imprisonment".

Get ready for the New Moon near Venus

On the morning of December 9, the Moon will be in the last quarter phase and will be visible in the evening sky. Venus, also known as the Morning Star, will be visible in the morning sky. Zubenelgenubi is a star in the constellation of Libra, which is located near Venus. This event is interesting because the Moon, Venus, and Zubenelgenubi will be in close proximity to each other in the sky, creating a beautiful celestial scene.

The constellation Libra used to be part of the constellation Scorpius to the Ancient Greeks. Libra made up the claws. The name Kozume carries the kanji for 'claw' (爪) and the name Kuroo carries the kanji for 'tail' (尾) like the curve of stars in Scorpius represents a tail.

Back in that time period, the claws were deemed too dim to be a constellation on their own. But later the Romans saw a set of scales instead and Scorpius lost its claws to what is now the Libra constellation.

Despite the change though, the two main stars of the Libra constellation still carry references to being claws in their present names: Zubenelgenubi and Zubenelschamali mean Southern Claw and Northern Claw in Arabic respectively.

The brightest star in the Libra constellation is Zubeneschamali or Beta Librae. The second brightest stars are Alpha Librae, also called Zubenelgenubi ("southern claw"), a binary star located 77 light-years from Earth  and Gamma Librae, an orange giant.

It’s known in Babylonian astronomy as MUL Zibanu (the "scales" or "balance"), or alternatively as the Claws of the Scorpion. It was also seen as the Scorpion's Claws in ancient Greece.

Libra is the 7th sign of the zodiac

Have you ever posted anything about zubelengenubi or zubeneschemali? Or something about constellations?

I posted binary star Zubenelgenubi for you

[griffoutwriting]

The Half Moon

Zubenelgenubi is my mom’s word. She got it from her Papa, and he got it from the sky. My mom told me that he used to spend a lot of time staring at constellations. He was in the Coast Guard, lucky enough to have served during a time of peace. He brought that word and that star home to my mom and gave her its light between cupped palms and crooked grins. She gave it to me driving down 144th Street past a high school that all five of her kids had gone to, copying the way that he’d grin out of the side of his mouth, his eyes peeking to see if his joke had landed. Zubenelgenubi is special because it’s the alpha star in the constellation I was born under and if the stars didn’t align for that, then it’s a waste of a cosmic joke, and my Papa was glancing out of the side of his eyes for nothing. Zubenelgenubi is special because it feels like an heirloom. It’s special because it’s fun to say and hard to spell. I can’t actually spell it without looking it up, which makes it even better because that means that I can only say in words the weight that the stars hold in Coast Guard hands and only tell the people who mean something about my mom’s Papa’s star.

Zubenelgenubi

Las estrellas guían mi camino

Y de la penumbra de la luna convocaré las pesadillas, 

El sueño tranquilo que nacía en creciente

Terminará con la luz de la luna llena.

[ink-mind]

the Alpha star Zubenelgenubi, of the constellation Librae. “Zuben” for short. Sort of a tragic tale. He brought so much life among his kind, and encouraged optimism and sympathy with humans. After tensions rose and broke into war among voide, he lost all but one of his members of his tree(Schmali). He was once very close.. to all of them. He was their leader and their fool

[the-golden-ghost]

There’s a star named Zubenelgenubi and I think that’s fantastic
