Constellation Cepheus

According to Ptolemy, Cepheus is like Saturn and Jupiter. It gives authority and a sober mind, sometimes making its natives judges or arbitrators, but exposes to cruel and severe trials. If Mars afflicts the luminaries from Cepheus, especially if in an angle, it causes death by hanging, decapitation, crucifixion or impalement. By the Kabalists this constellation is associated with the Hebrew letter Shin and the 22nd Tarot Trump “The Fool.” ^[1]

In classical times Cepheus was said to presage earthquakes and other events that affect large portions of mankind .^[2]The ancient astronomers were Cepheans who made Cepheus the father of their royal family of stars. ^[4]Cepheus was the inventor of astronomical science. ^[5]

Alderamin Star Conjunctions

Ascendant conjunct Alderamin: In the 15th part of Capricorn rises Cepheus. Whoever is born with this star in the east will be grave and austere, with all the authority of severity [and] to be feared, always pretending to have a face from the integrity of their morals, who follow the Stoic sect in true affection. Such were the ancient Catos, such in our times is Tullianus, who, by the merit of his severity, even obtained the insignia of the ordinary consulship. But if Venus and Mercury are witnesses in this place, they always read or compose tragic poems. ^[3]

Alderamin was rising in the charts of both Cato the Elder (234-149 BC), Roman statesman, and Tullian (Tullianus Symmachus Valerius), Roman consul, 280-330 AD.^[2]
