Baten Kaitos Astrology

Baten Kaitos in astrology portended falls and blows. [1]

BATEN KAITOS. ζ Ceti. AQ topaz-yellow star in the body of the Whale. From Al Batn al Kaitos, the Whale’s Belly. Of the nature of Saturn. It gives compulsory transportation, change or emigration, misfortune by force or accident, and shipwreck but also rescue, falls and blows. [2]

BATEN KAITOS. ζ Ceti. An orange star in the body of the whale. The whales belly. Spectral class KO. One who is serious, thoughtful, melancholy, subject to many delays. A hard working person, sincere. A selfish person, one who has deceitful associates. Negatively the star can produce deceit, sexual fantasies or problems, a ‘con artist’, twisted emotions, self destruction, violence. [7]

Baten Kaitos in The Whale has the character of Saturn. The Saturnine properties, such as inhibition, reserve, caution, solitude, and simplicity, are often forced onto such people either by a mundane or higher power. Sometimes ideas are propagated, which make life for the native trying or troublesome for the native. To such persons, their fate is usually one of change. People influenced thus tend to depression or dwell on the thought of death. Life often is full of humiliation, renunciation and obstacles. But the position of the complete chart is always important. [3]

Baten Kaitos, Belly of the Whale, is, of course, associated with the Jonah legend. Likewise, a Saturn star by Ptolemy, it often does mark where someone becomes stuck with a situation for some little while, perhaps from their folly under Deneb Kaitos (Beta Ceti), but aspects all being well, should emerge with some benefit to count for the experience, even honor from it if all is very well in the matter of aspects. [4]

Baten Kaitos is a warlike star that portends falls and blows and other misfortune brought about by force. [5]

Baten Kaitos rules the center point of the head. [6]

Constellation Cetus

The Whale is like Saturn. It is said to cause laziness and idleness but to confer an emotional and charitable nature, with the ability to command, especially in war. Makes one amiable, prudent, happy by sea and land and helps to recover lost goods. [2]
