The Sun joins Deneb Kaitos on March 22

The fixed star Deneb Kaitos, Beta Ceti, is a solitary star located in the tail of the Whale 0r Sea Monster, Constellation Cetus.

Magnitude 2.02, spectral type G9.5III or K0 III. The spectral class is on the border between G (orange giant) and K (yellow-white giant.) ^[1]

This star displays flaring activity that results in random outbursts that increase the luminosity of the star over intervals lasting several days. This is a much longer duration than for comparable solar flare activity on the Sun, which typically last for periods measured in hours. ^[2]

Beta Ceti is officially and traditionally named Diphda. from the Arabic phrase aḍ-ḍifdaʿ aṯ-ṯānī, meaning “the second frog.” The word Diphda itself is Arabic for “frog.” The Latin translation is Rana Secunda. The first frog is Fomalhaut. ^[1]

Astrologers use the other traditional name Deneb Kaitos, from the Arabic Al Dhanab al Ḳaiṭos al Janūbīyy, meaning “the southern tail of the Sea Monster.” ^[1]

The Chinese know Diphda as 土司空 (Tǔsīkōng), Master of Constructions. ^[1] Allen westernized Tǔsīkōng into Too Sze Kung, meaning “Superintendent of Earthworks.” ^[3]

Deneb Kaitos Astrology

Fixed star Deneb Kaitos has the spectral type on the border between G9.5 and K0, indicating the planetary nature of the Sun and Mars.

DIFDA. β Ceti. A yellow star on the Whale’s tail. From Al Difda al Thani, the Second Frog. According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Saturn; and, to Alvidas, of Mars, Saturn and Mercury. It causes self-destruction by brute force, sickness, disgrace, misfortune and compulsory change. ^[4]

DENEB KAITOS. β Ceti. A giant orange star, spectral group KO. A change in brilliancy took place during the last century from magnitude 3 to a visual magnitude of 2.24. Deneb Kaitos is Arabic for the southern branch of the tail. The star imparts to its natives selfishness, a harsh cruel nature, a vindictive person, one who is self centered, subject to being melancholy, poverty, disgraceful actions, impulsiveness, idleness, a driver or one who is self-driven, one who accommodates. Brute force, ruination, losses. ^[5]

Deneb Kaitos, Beta Ceti. Deneb Kaitos, also called Diphda, is situated in the Tail of the Whale. Its property is that of Saturn. Associated with it are inhibitions and restraint in every way, psychologically and physically. ^[6]

Deneb Kaitos (Diphda or Difda) shows its martial nature by presaging compulsory changes. In medieval astrology, this star had a reputation for being correlative with misfortune, disgrace, and self-destruction through force. ^[7]

It has an alternative name from an earlier Arab source: Difda, Frog, strictly the Second Frog, Difda’l Thaniya, the First Frog having been the star we know as Fomalhaut. In some cultures, frogs are said to be warners of what lies before us, probably because they inhabit bogs and croak at our approach. Fomalhaut is the star of the Divine Messenger Gabriel, generally announcing a good event to come. Still, a whale often uses the slap of its massive tail upon the sea to warn its companions for several miles around it. Ptolemy gives this star the simile of Saturn, which fits the theme perfectly. The problem with a whale slapping its tail to tell other whales something is that it sounds its presence to human whale hunters, too, to its great peril, even if we are supposed now to have stopped whaling. Making big waves without considering the consequences is all too familiar an Arian problem, and people with this star less than well aspected on their charts really do easily trouble themselves by speaking too much too soon. But if well aspected, we find great people who initiate new projects and ideas. ^[8]

Fixed star Deneb Kaitos rules the back of the head, the eyes and the cerebellum. ^[9]

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. It makes one amiable, prudent, and happy by sea and land and helps to recover lost goods. ^[4]

Now called Cetus (Cet), the stars of this constellation are said to have a nature akin to that of Saturn by Ptolemy when writing in Tetrabiblos. However, he was likely referring only to Menkar in this regard; many of the brighter stars of this constellation have a Martian nature, confirming the opinion of classical astrologers that the constellation itself is correlative with the ability to command, especially in war. ^[7]

Sun conjunct Deneb Kaitos: Mental disturbance, some loss keenly felt, accidents such as burns, scalds and cuts, lean and infirm, many miseries. ^[4]

This conjunction imparts to its natives an inherent restlessness, be it mental or physical. At times this might seem that the native is impulsive and completely disregards the consequence of their acts. The native might lack foresight. At times these natives act on the spur of the moment, suddenly deciding upon specific actions that give the impression they are impulsive, even though they could have been sometime in arriving at their decision. The native wants to push forward, get the job done, and keep moving. At other times the native will sit idle, appearing to dream away the time, lost in their thoughts. Acting impulsively can create problems, such as auto accidents and domestic and romantic problems. There are times when the natives with this conjunction will appear to have mental issues, which in reality is a desire to be left alone and be uncommunicative. It is not exactly a withdrawal into a shell, but merely the fact that they are recuperating, getting ready for another spurt of action, another push forward towards their goal or next move. In cases where the celestial objects are adversely aspected to Neptune, this can create moments of depression for such natives. Natives with this conjunction will keenly feel any losses, such as a parent or family member. ^[5]

This affects the eyes, particularly a male’s right eye and a female’s left eye. It causes an imbalance of light coming to the eyes as one would be damaged, thus creating irritations affecting the back of the head. This results in eye problems such as nearsightedness and other similar eye malfunctions. ^[9]

Moon conjunct Deneb Kaitos: Pioneer, reckless, headstrong, violent temper, many quarrels, lean and infirm, many miseries. ^[4]

This conjunction imparts a certain amount of recklessness to the native, perhaps even becoming headstrong or seemingly impulsive, which they are not, but what they want done must be done their way or not at all. Selfishness and thoughtlessness signify these natives. They can give the impression they do not listen to common sense because they set their own standards of conduct. However, they are not at all bashful in expressing their own opinions. There will be evidence of temper or solid determination with this conjunction. If Mars is poorly aspected, there will be sudden temper flareups, impulsiveness and the native so affected can suffer business and/or domestic problems. There is also the possibility, under the conjunction, of legal entanglements. ^[5]

(–) Mentally these natives are active, however, there can be the tendency towards self-destruction. This can be exhibited through writings, actions, and conversations, and if Mercury is adversely aspected to Neptune, there will be a considerable amount of scheming, even mulling over fancied wrongs. ^[5]

(–) These natives can develop the habit of making decisions based on emotions, impulsiveness, and not logic. Turbulence is possible. ^[5]

These individuals would tend to cut their eyes through violence or accidents that cannot be rectified as the damage would be severe. Also, there may be a growth in the eyes, such as cataracts, as there would be a lack of fluids in the center of the brain. ^[9]

Prince 1°29′, Nigel Farage 1°57′.

Jupiter conjunct Deneb Kaitos: High legal or ecclesiastical position, but danger of reversal, treachery from secret enemies, loss through speculation. ^[4]

(+) Natives with this conjunction, if properly trained, can expect high preferment in religious matters, affairs dealing with the public, and legal matters. However, there is the ever-present danger of losses due to poor judgment, which could cause reversals. ^[5]

(–) Natives with negative Jupiter aspects can also find high preferment, similarly to the positive Jupiter aspects. However, they can suffer from treachery from those they choose as their friends. These natives will continually strive for some recognition but suffer from poor judgment or from being unconscionable in their dealings. ^[5]

Water on the brain is a possibility here due to an imbalance of fluids in the brain which cannot be remedied quickly. ^[9]

Saturn conjunct Deneb Kaitos: Impure mind, worry, secret wrongdoing, inharmonious environment. ^[4]

The cure cannot come through surgery or other medical means. ^[9]
