Enif Astrology

Enif gives danger in battle. ^[2] It has the spectral type K2, so it is like Mars. It, therefore, portends danger but success in war, sports and business.

Mars: Violent death, ultimate ruin by folly or pride. If rising, wealth, power, courage, generosity, ingenuity, rise to authority, martial success, subject to cuts, wounds, accidents, sores and injuries to the face, pains in the head and fevers. If culminating, martial eminence, success in trade and occupations of a Mars nature. If afflicting Mercury, deafness. ^[1]

Asterism Wei the Rooftop

01♓53 to 06♓50

The 12th Chinese lunar mansion is named Wei (Rooftop). Its 1st asterism is also called Wei, resembling a Rooftop. Wei means high, and high places are dangerous, so the Wei constellation is often considered inauspicious.

The Rooftop is favorable for preparing, taking, and administering medicine; for serious and wicked endeavors, such as digging rivers and ponds, planting hemp and beans, sending merchants to collect taxes, appointing officials, and hiring doctors. It is suited for stockpiling goods, building boats, brewing wine and other beverages, engaging in trading, and for merchants to return home. It is unfavorable for spending money and for all construction and building.

Rooftop Personality

The Wei constellation confers a kindhearted, hardworking, yet quite polarized nature, ranging from good to bad depending on how its strengths are channeled. It enables the handling of affairs and the administration of antidotes. However, it also gives a tendency toward stubbornness, impatience, anger, licentiousness and alcoholism. Naivety makes one vulnerable to being taken advantage of in interpersonal relationships. Friendships may be short-lived and remain unresolved.

Song History (1346)

The three stars of the constellation Wei (危) are located southeast of Tianjin (Celestial Ford). They govern the emperor’s ancestral temple sacrifices, as well as earthworks and the imperial palace, markets, building construction, and storage.

If they are unclear, it indicates the execution of a guest and the commencement of earthworks; if they are active or obscured, it signifies the construction of palaces and military affairs. A solar eclipse indicates the destruction of mausoleums and temples, a major funeral, and the presence of rebellious officials.

A solar eclipse indicates the destruction of mausoleums and temples, a major funeral, and the rebellion of ministers. A solar halo indicates mourning

A lunar eclipse signifies worry or sorrow for ministers, funerals or mourning, and the collapse of palaces. A lunar halo also indicates war and mourning, and the defeat of the one who initiates the war.

If the moon transits here, palace structures will collapse, and ministers will rebel against their ruler; in the coming year, grain prices will rise, and great mourning will occur.

When Mercury transits here, high-ranking ministers are executed, judges face troubles, and the nation suffers many disasters. If it remains in place, ministers will rebel; alternatively, the empress will fall ill, and there will be war and loss.

When Venus transits here, there will be war; alternatively, if there is no war, it will begin; if there already is war, it ends; Crops fail, and fires increase. If it remains in this position, generals face troubles; droughts and fires also occur. If it stays for long, there will be an emergency.

When Mars invades its sign, there will be a general amnesty. If it remains in this position, many people will fall ill, military conflicts will arise, feudal lords will plot rebellion, and palaces will be destroyed by fire. If it resides near the upper star, commoners die; if near the middle star, feudal lords perish; if near the lower star, high-ranking ministers die—each with a time frame of a hundred or ten-day period respectively. If it remains for thirty days, eastern armies will rise up, there will be a drought, and close ministers will rebel. If it enters this region, warfare ensues, and decrees of change will follow.

If Jupiter transits or remains here, it indicates war, forced labor, numerous construction projects, mourning and weeping and increased theft and banditry.

If Saturn remains here, it indicates drought, illness among the people, construction projects, and the country will be in great war. If it transits this area, troubles arise for the empress; warfare, loss and mourning will follow. Whether entering, exiting, lingering, or staying in position, territory is lost, and bloodshed occurs. If it enters, there will be great chaos and treacherous ministers will rise up.

When a guest star transits here, mourning and weeping occur; alternatively, it indicates excessive rainfall and failed harvests. If the guest star enters this area, construction projects begin, or there will be an amnesty within three days. If it leaves, there will be heavy rain and a poor harvest. If it remains in place for some time, the nation declines and famine occurs among the people.

When a comet transits here, there will be rebellious ministers and uprisings; its departure signifies a general leaving the country, a change in the government, and great floods and famine. When a comet invades the area, there will be rebellions and uprisings in the country.

If a meteor’s appearance signifies floods in spring and summer, and disputes or gossip in autumn and winter. If it enters the area, the lower classes will plot against the higher classes. If it reaches Wei, there will be war in the northern regions. The Yi Si Zhan states: When a meteor enters or emerges with a yellowish hue, it signifies peace for the people, a bountiful harvest, and successful construction projects and land reclamation. If they appear black, it indicates floods and disasters for high-ranking ministers.

When clouds enter the area, if they are pale or grayish-white, it signifies earthworks or construction projects; if they are blue, it signifies national worry; if they are black, it signifies floods and mourning; if they are red, it signifies fire; if they are white, it signifies worry and war; if yellow when they enter or emerge, it signifies joy.

Constellation Pegasus

According to Ptolemy the bright stars are like Mars and Mercury. The constellation gives ambition, vanity, intuition, enthusiasm, caprice and bad judgment. It prevails against the diseases of horses and preserves horse riders in battle. ^[1]

The constellation portends events concerning ships and the ocean and also changes in the weather. In medieval times it was said to indicate vain individuals with a great deal of ambition but very poor judgment. ^[2]

Pegasus, like birds, angels, and most celestial winged creatures, is an allegory for the superior spiritual power that the hero first sought out to aid him in his task, and the Owl represents the wisdom side of that same power. ^[3]

In mundane astrology, Pegasus is associated with drowning, accidents, catastrophes, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, floods, shipwrecks, mining accidents, airplane accidents, falling accidents, shooting down from high, horses, jockeys, transportation, communications, space travel, exploration, pioneering, science, invention and heroism.
