The Sun joins Mesarthim on April 22

Fixed star Mesarthim, Gamma Arietis, is a 3.9 magnitude binary, bright white and gray star in the left horn of the Ram, Aries Constellation. The traditional name Mesarthim is of obscure origin, and has been called the First Star in Aries as having been at one time the nearest visible star to the equinoctial point, 0° Aries (around the 3rd century BC when the Greeks invented the tropical zodiac, see Precession of the Equinoxes).

The name Mesarthim may be from the Hebrew word mᵋshārᵋtīm, meaning the Minister, or the Arabic word ألمثرتم (Al Muthartim), meaning the Ram. In Sanskrit, the Constellation is known as Mesha, meaning The Ram and the First point of Aries is Meshadi. The name could have very well originated from this and transformed to Mesarthim. [1]

Fixed Star Mesarthim Astrology

Fixed star Mesarthim, γ Arietis, is a word meaning Ministers (in old Hebrew) and it is noteworthy that Ptolemy gave this near neighbor of the other two the same planetary simile in opposite order: Saturn-Mars. Our astrology here must take on pin-point accuracy but the implication is that Mesarthim shows up more of the protective-administrative quality, less of the impulsive aggressive of Hamal and Sheratan. [2]

Mesarthim and Sheratan are in the horns of the Ram. They have spectra that would indicate a Venusian nature. Mesarthim marked the beginning of Aries and the vernal equinox in the days of Hipparchos when the twelve signs of the zodiac were finally given their present designation. [3]

Constellation Aries

Aries portends events concerning sacred rites and the worship of God. It affects the conditions of the air and of the seasons and presages the results of these elements on things that grow, especially the new shoots or arboreal crops (e.g. grapes and figs). [3]

28th Arabic Manzil – Al Batn al Hut

Increases harvests, revenues, gain, heals infirmities, hinders building, upholds prisons, causes danger to seamen and destruction of enemies.

15th Chinese Xiù – 奎 (Kuí) Legs

Represents a man with his legs astride. This was said to be the arsenal of the Emperor. Wash old clothes and double the thickness of the quilting to protect against winter. Avoid construction work so riches do not leave the household. Digging would be followed by a series of misfortunes.

There is a likelihood of family quarrels and discord among acquaintances. Lawsuits are lost. Sickness takes a firm grip. This mansion rules arms, preparation for military action, canals, garments, footwear, textiles industry, and laundry.
