Astrological Meanderings: ALGOL

Monday 15 November 2021

ALGOL

I've long known of the fixed star Algol's evil reputation but was reminded of it again only today when I watched the following video about the lunar eclipse on November 19th of the current year (2021). A transcript of the video can be found at the end of this post.


The author of the video points out that the Moon, at the time of the coming eclipse, will be conjunct Algol. Figure 1 shows a chart drawn up for the time of the eclipse in Jakarta:

As can be seen, the eclipse occurs in the fixed signs of Taurus and Scorpio with Jupiter located near the apex of a T-square in Aquarius. Mars is located earlier in Scorpio than the Moon but will pass over its position (and Algol) on December 9th, which the author of the video says may be the time when the full effects of the eclipse manifest.

I was surprised to find that Algol is not listed among the fixed stars whose positions can be displayed in Astrolog (which is may I had to manually insert it into Figure 1). I used Stellarium to locate the celestial latitude and longitude of Algol. See Figures 2 and 3.

Much has been written about Algol and its malign influence but astronomically the star is quite interesting as well:
Fixed star Algol, Beta Persei, is a 2.1 magnitude, rare triple star and eclipsing binary, located in the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus Constellation. The name Algol comes from Al Ghoul, an Arabic word رئيس الغول  meaning  Head of the Ogre. The English translation became Demon Star, with other names being Satan’s Head, the Spectre’s Head. Algol appears to blink ... every 69 hours, its magnitude dipping for about 10 hours before returning to full brightness again.

Algol, alias Caput Medusa, is the Demon herself. Indeed she is, without doubt, counted the most malefic of all stars in astrology ... Medusa’s Head, the meaning of the Latin title, is being held in Perseus’s hand, which is star β in his constellation. It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence.

Algol represents the head of the Gorgon Medusa who was slain by Perseus. 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. This gave her so fearful an appearance that everyone who looked at her was changed into stone. Source.

The final paragraph in the above quote has connotations of genetic modification that are quite relevant in today's era of "gain of function" research and release. It will be interesting to see how things play out over the next three weeks. I'm sure our psychopathic overlords are planning something special for Christmas.

In conclusion, it is to be noted that:
(The eclipse) will also be the longest lunar eclipse in 580 years, lasting about 3 hours, 28 minutes and 23 seconds, and also the longest this century ... (it) will fall just shy of being total; 97.4% of the moon's diameter will become immersed in the Earth's dark umbral shadow at maximum eclipse, leaving just the southernmost limb ever-so-slightly beyond the outer edge of the umbra.

Transcript from video:

hi i'm Joni petrie today i want to talk
about the month of November and we have
some very significant events that are
about to happen in the month of November
one of the main features that i always
look to as an astrologer are eclipses
and we will be having the lunar eclipse
in November on November 19th
this will set up a whole array of
major emotional changes
around the world i've been talking a lot
about the grand
finale what do i mean by that really
what i mean is everything has been
mounting and building
over the past year of 2021
and now everything comes to the
combination point with a major
explosive
event
this will probably be more like in the
month of December and January that we're
going to feel it the most but let me
just tell you
November is the month you're going to
see the direction it's all going in
as we approach the eclipse season what
they are is actually when the sun and
the moon come together with Rahu and Ketu
Rahu being the north node of the moon
and Ketu being the south node of the moon
how powerful is that think about what
the sun and moon represent
they represent the male the female the
whole entire set up here on planet earth
mother father night day
positive negative forces
and i don't mean negative in a bad way i
mean this is the electric charges of
things we have to have this polarity
that makes the world go round
but considering what an eclipse is
eclipses are when you have the darkening
of the light of the light of the sun or
the light of the moon and in that
darkness always
something is revealed when we go into
that darkness think symbolically we
darken and we go into that quiet
darkness where all the secrets and
things can become uncovered
then we have the return of the light
comes back
so in that darkness things are revealed
that we did not know now this goes to
what's going on globally in the world
and it's about time we get some answers
here right
and
it also applies to your life personally
because
there will be something that will be
revealed to you
that you didn't know about in your life
that will give your life great
understanding and meaning so look to
these eclipses as something powerful so
the lunar eclipse that happens
the 19th of November
is
three degrees of taurus which is
extraordinarily meaningful
but then again two weeks following
December 4th we're going to have the
solar eclipse
and this is going to really between
those two week periods bring to light
something that will be
very surprising i might say shocking to
the world so watch how this all unfolds
but going back to this lunar eclipse
that happens on the 19th of November
what i think is going to really be
revealed
is
a lot
of
world leaders
are going to show their true colours
of their
losing their head
explosions of emotion why do i say that
three degrees of taurus where we will
have this
lunar eclipse full moon
is exactly conjunct the fixed star Algol
and this is considered to be the most
violent
and the most destructive
fixed star of the heavens this is
astrology the language of the stars this
star
is said to be
the most violent
they say it represents decapitation
this is huge that the lunar eclipse
happens on this star
so what does that mean decapitation it
means losing your head losing your
temper being out of control
you better watch in your own life don't
let this affect you
in such a negative way as it could
keep your cool keep your calm
and always ask
yourself do i have control over this
situation if you do do something about
it
but let me just say you're going to see
people in the news people that rule
countries
losing it
this is what this is going to bring
about and you know what always happens
out of that i must say
the truth comes out
once something is comes to an explosive
event
then the clearing reveals what it was
all about
this is what's finally happening
at this time
moving into December but as we move into
December let me just give you fair
warning
mars is going to be going into scorpio
triggering where the eclipses are
through December and January and this is
going to be
well let me just say it could be very
war-like
and i have been predicting that this
year of 2021
we'll have the remnants
of war
because people are losing it people are
angry people have been frustrated they
have not been told the truth in so many
instances and we know it now
it used to be that we didn't know
because
the media everything was preventing
things from coming out now people have
the freedom to really explore what's
happening
because we have the internet because we
have
all of these aspects of social media
that we can truly see what's been
happening behind the scenes under the
surface and now
well i gotta say a lot of people don't
have a lot of trust in their leaders
anymore based on what they are seeing
so throughout this month of November we
have one thing and another
occurring continually leading up to the
grand
finale as i've been calling it so we
have this new opening
an opening to truth and opening to
awareness and opening to awakening to
the truth been talking about this for a
while
what a time to be on planet earth to see
all the revelations and the changes
finally coming about
yes we had things a lot calmer before
but we were all asleep before
now we see the reality and the truth of
it all what's behind the scenes
and now
there is so much opportunity for
spiritual growth
and let me talk about what i feel the
month of November how you can use this
for your highest good
especially probably one of the most
meaningful holidays we celebrate in the
united states called thanksgiving it
will be November 25th
it's always on the fourth Thursday of
the month i think it's very meaningful
as well that it's on a Thursday
because Thursday is Jupiter's day
and Jupiter is the planet that deals
with spirituality deals with higher
mindedness truth and there's nothing
more higher mindedness than to come from
a place
of
gratitude
thanksgiving is a holiday that we
celebrate in the United States
it's actually
our birthday in
essence for the United States of America
but
here's what it's truly about this
holiday everyone comes together in a
family family and friends come together
and we celebrate
what we're thankful for
how beautiful is that
this empowers your life in ways beyond
comprehension you see when we come from
a place of gratitude what happens is
that energy that we put out in terms of
respecting
and telling people how grateful we are
and how much we love them
what you put out
is always what's returned back
this is the law of the universe that is
why we're here
we're not here to hate and be angry and
resentful we are here to love
be compassionate
and heal
