Ensis Astrology

ENSIS. 42 M Orionis. The Great Nebula in the sword-sheath of Orion. Of the nature of Mars and the Moon. It causes blindness, defective sight, injuries to the eyes, sickness and a violent death. [1]

HATYSA. 42 M Orinis. A great nebulae in Orion. Eyesight problems, violence and many, many problems, wantoness, changeable, illness. These influences are subject to nativities of a negative nature, only when the Sun and/or the Moon is adversely aspected, and when in direct conjunction with the nebulae. It should be noted that such influences may not come till late in the natives life, or at nearly anytime during the life of these natives. These influences are not effective when in conjunction with other celestial objects. [5]

ι Orionis Ensis, Latin for Sword, the scabbard of which hands from the Belt. The Arabic alternative name Hatysa is obscure but may come from Hilya(t), Jewelry, or from Mahtassr, the Point of Death. In some drawings, Orion is holding his sword in his hand so that its point is just about on this star. Having a Mars-Moon rating, it is not generally accounted a ‘good star’ but, as always, that depends on the user of a gift for putting aggressive energies to practical effect. If the effect be a worthy one, then fine; but if not, then not fine. Ensis gives a combative nature with the tongue, and sometimes manually too, which can indeed lead to misfortune, although the victim may well be convinced that it is ‘all for the cause and that the ‘reward in Heaven’ will compensate for the suffering here below. [3]

Fixed star Ensis rules two inches below the breastbone. [4]

Constellation Orion

According to Ptolemy the bright stars with the exception of Betelgeuze and Bellatrix are like Jupiter and Saturn. It is said to give a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, prosperity in trade and particularly by voyages or abroad, but danger of treachery and poison. It was thought by the Romans to be very harmful to cattle and productive of storms. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump “The Juggler.”

Orion is the most important constellation in the heavens outside the zodiac. In judicial astrology this is the constellation of war. In the Middle Ages this constellation was said to be a direful influence to agriculture, being the “the veri cuttrhrote of cattle” and presaging violent storms and much rain. In genethiacal charts the indications are for arrogance, rebellion, strength, and courage. Tetrabiblos lists the stars in the shoulder of Orion to have a nature similar to that of Mars and Mercury, and the other bright stars in the constellation to be similar to the natures of Jupiter and Saturn.

Mercury conjunct Ensis, square, quincunx or opposite, Mars conjunct Uranus (No orb): Mars and Uranus must be in exact conjunction. A quincunx aspect of Mercury to the conjunction of Mars and Uranus would be the harshest to deal with. This energy point is a tiny pinpoint and everything must be exact by degree. This causes collapsing of the nerves that affect the spine at the 10th, 11th and 12th vertebrae, counting down from the top (3rd, 4th & 5th Dorsals). This is very painful due to the nerves throughout that area of the spine. The pain is continuous with no relief for long periods. The pain can travel to the head, thereby causing pain in the head and to the eyes. These persons can live through this, but the body would be in disorder much of the time. [4]

Venus conjunct Ensis: Secret bad habits, a loner, sexual fantasies or problems, subject to violence or self-destruction. A cold, detached, unfeeling, unemotional personality.
