The fixed star Algol currently deserves rumination. True, Algol stands out as a dreaded, even feared star with its mythological backstory. Also true, Saturn in Aquarius squares Algol’s zodiacal claim of 26 Taurus 27 (approximately the 2023 position). Saturn says Algol deserves attention for what can be extracted from its longstanding legend and lore.
True, Algol rules decapitation. Astrologers claiming a past life in France during the guillotine heyday seemed more concerned about the lunar phase for placing angelica in white wine to maximize the bouquet. As such, research on the charts of those beheaded is lacking. This association is derived from the most evil star’s namesake’s decapitation after she was violated by Poseidon. As a result, injustice is also one of the keywords for the star.
Algol (Beta Perseus) is known by many unflattering names, including but not limited to: Gorgana, El Ghoul, the Demon Star and Satan’s head. Algol appears in the third eye location of the head of the once beautiful goddess, Medusa. She was a beauty with long, flowing hair. She erred by getting on the wrong side of Pallas-Athena, who arranged for the mayhem Medusa endured, including changing her gorgeous tresses into venomous snakes.
Algol is actually a three-star system in the constellation Perseus, the hero. Perseus, often depicted riding Pegasus, retrieved the head of Medusa for weaponization - whoever gazed upon the dreadful head of Medusa would be turned to stone. Perseus, equipped with gifts from the god - a reflective shield, Mercury’s winged sandals (he could fly with these without needing Pegasus) and Pluto’s helmet of invisibility, successfully retrieved the head of Medusa. As a result, he was formidable in battle, turning to stone and immobilizing foes.
This three-star system because of the orbital relationships of its components displays optical variability occurring every 2.87 days. Symbolically, one connected to Algol benefits from a conscious reset of personal luminance every three days or so. This may serve as an integral and vital component of transforming the negative interpretive portrayal of Algol.
Also contributing to a major reframe and upgrade of this star’s influence stands the consideration that Algol is now in the hands of a heroic god, who demonstrates extreme skills in applying all gifts of the gods. Ah, so one who knowingly and cleverly applies all god-given talents may thwart opposing efforts by adversaries by literally and figuratively halting their advance, and stunning them with the wonder of ones talents. That’s a very cool remedy to malefic assessments under a Saturn transit.
Given the work I’ve been doing to put my films on streaming channels, a heap of work is being done to get on the right side of appropriate algorithms. Sounds like the variability of the fixed star Beta Perseus... you know, Algol’s rhythms.
Those who got on the wrong side of an algorithm and now are bombarded by posts that are nonsense... and they can’t get out... not easily that is. For years, the intuitive appearances of ads and articles related to a most recent Google search can be infuriating. Respect cyber space!
Sedna in Taurus, for years now, has been influencing Algol by conjunction. (Soon a post on Sedna’s initial migration over the border of Gemini come mid-May). Could Sedna to Algol in delineation be the rampant use by cyber tech of Algol-rhythms?
Sedna, according to her node (Leo) and perihelion (Cancer), stresses the need for complete manifestation of real world well-being, then onward to soulful satisfaction. As part of this quest she insists upon accepting ones participation in current life conditions and ultimately their circumstances. Upon such realization, Sedna supports and urges followers to engage every and all effort for life and self improvement.
If one aligns symbolically with the resources Perseus demonstrated, perhaps Beta test remedies for the 2nd brightest star in Perseus, Algol, can be placed in conscious scrutiny and application. Perchance, life gets better.
And these symbolic resources consist of:
Perseus wielded the head of the gorgon as a weapon. So in the real world post and present only your stunning brilliance. Keep other in awe of your wonder. Post no ailments or insecurities online. Be bold, applying the fullest reach of you knowledge and wisdom. Let your talent be the declaration of your faith.
Perseus was granted a helmet of invisibility to secure the head of Medusa. Apply this concept to know when you need to clear your cache, both in cyberspace and within your psyche. Know when to be invisible. Verify than any post or life action most likely results in a positive life result before transacting. Know how to pick battles and understand the wisdom of not engaging with unnecessary nefarious circumstances.
Perseus possessed Mercury’s winged sandals. Be light on your feet, keep your balance. Avoid tripping hazards and becoming a tripping hazard for others. Stay smoothly in your lane. Ensure all footwear is comfortable. Shoes that hurt can certainly slow progress.
Perseus held a mirrored shield so he did not need to directly look at Medusa’s head. In the world of evil online algol rhythms, this is a virtual private network (VPN). Get a good one! Put in on all computers and phones. Scan your devices for malware daily. In the real world imagine clear psychic defenses against negativity and shield yourself well. The old adage, “I’m rubber, your glue...” comes to mind.
Finally apply the rhythm of Algol. Every two to three days reset your psychic fortification against negativity. At the end of every three days assess all life circumstances. Those that do not head in a direction you seek, terminate immediately. Clear your memory of any recent event you might lambast yourself for poorly handling. Instead, apply the thought “I am more mature, wiser and henceforth apply all my life experience in an efficient and evolved manner.
As this all settles in, realize life is what you make it. Agree that you’ll be the best utilizer of all the tools in your skill set and affirm those attributes to the source of your creativity.
Continue to do this as Saturn wraps up the square to Algol, and more than likely, your refreshed mindset aids in creating a world of good. Remember, Perseus, the hero, has control of the gorgon’s head.
More soon.
