Acubens Astrology

Of the nature of Saturn and Mercury. It has been called “the sheltering of hiding place,” and gives activity, malevolence and poison, making its natives liars and criminals. [1]

α Cancri. A double star, at a distance of 99 light years. The primary has a visual magnitude of 4.00 and its companion a magnitude of 11.0. Its spectrum for the primary is A3-white and its companion is FO, yellow. This star imparts to its natives strength, perserverance, a logical mind, one who can be outspoken, has high ideals, a speculator, an organizer, domineering, forceful. [6]

Acubens is spectrally as Venus, but it is in the claw and its reputation portends malevolence and poisoning. [2]

Acubens, the main star of Cancer, in The Scissors of the Crab, has a Martian nature, and a strong blending in of Saturnian influence, conveying an unbalanced and jumpy nature. If the cosmogram is a disharmonious one to people affected by it, and especially if Acubens is conjunction Mars, Sun or Uranus, this makes for an unsettled mentality and helplessness. [3]

The tip of the forward southern leg is Acubens, α Cancri, familiar in astrology as a Saturn-Mercury type, thus more cautious than the martian quality of β, though the piercing or stinging notion in the Latin form of the name still contains the note of attack. (The Crab, Lobster and the Scorpion were once all thought to have stings, from their somewhat similar appearances). It is also suggested, however, that the name originates from the Arabic Al Zubanah, The Claw, and indeed this star does represent the southern of the crab’s claws. We shall find later that several more Saturn-Mercury stars are on the points of various weaponry carried by the characters in the heavens.

So one significance of Acubens is the enforced use of applied intelligence when finding oneself in combat at someone else’s behest, as we may say the Crab’s front leg finds itself driven on by the Mars Al Tarf on the back leg. But a generally more positive quality to read from Acubens is that of a sharp intellect and ease of coming to grips with problems, for which one might earn quite high public renown. But, again, there is the note of doing this under pressure of others demanding ‘from behind’’. [4]

Acubens rules the outer tissues of the left side of the kidneys. [4]

Constellation Cancer

The Crab presages thunderstorms, famine, and locusts. The stars in the eyes (according to Ptolemy) have a nature similar to that of Mercury and Mars; those in the claws to that of Saturn and Mercury; the nebula to that of Mars and the Moon; and the Asses to that of Mars and the Sun. [2]

(No orb): This creates an energy flow to the spine around the 14th vertebra (7th Dorsal) where the pain is felt. Persons would feel a pinching type of sensation in this area. There are also slight spasms in the outer tissues of the left side of the kidneys. Most of this is not felt until the person ages and more damage has occurred. Drinking chamomile tea would be of great help in this area. They should never take relaxants or other drugs of this kind as it would tend to unbalance the nerves here. [5]

Saturn conjunct Acubens: Major disappointments in life, ordeals and trials, mental suffering, excitements, loss, opposition, disputes and deception are indicated.

There is a sugar imbalance at this position that causes sugars to seep through the kidneys into the body. There is an excess that seeps out of the wall tissue of the kidneys and enters the system in such a way as to make it impossible for the system to handle it. The kidneys cannot eliminate it through urination. These persons should remain in a sugar-free diet; however, this would not include natural sugar found in honey or fruits. Natural foods are handled by the body in the proper way. They must always be on a light diet, and one containing plenty of lettuce. Lettuce helps to balance out the fluids in the system and aids in keeping the kidneys clean. Also, a consistent diet of natural brown rice would be very helpful. Due to this problem, many with this degree exhibit a very negative, grouchy and irritable behavior. They can become irrational and at times violent. This can be uncontrollable unless they realize early what their problem really is and make the changes in their diet as stated. [5]

  1. May I ask, what is the astrological influence if Jupiter & Circe are conjunct Acubens, less than 0,25°?

    • If it is not mentioned then it won’t be a majorly significant influence. SO I expect Jupiter would bring out the more positive side of the star and reduce the detrimental influence.

  2. Thanks Jamie,
    You are so kind and your your quality of your readings are positive ,accurate and sharp intellectual .
