Han Astrology
The spectral class O9.5 suggests a planetary nature of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, Jupiter.
Of the nature of Saturn and Venus. It brings trouble and disgrace. [1]
ζ Ophiuchi. A small bluish-white star. Spectral class 09. This star imparts to its natives fame, high preferment, wealth, honors, and negatively self-created problems, shamelessness, and disgraceful actions. [5]
Han, ζ Ophiuchi, is an unfortunate choice of name since it comes from old political Chinese astrology, nothing to do with our system. Rukba, the Knee, is where it is, but the title has not often been used. With its Saturn-Venus simile, it continues the theme of putting the knowledge to useful purpose and hints at added strength from the proximity of Antares within the same degree. [2]
Han rules the right side of the spine and the center of the right buttock. [3]
Asterism Tianshiyouyuan – Heavenly Market Right Wall
18♏20 to 09♐14
Tianshiyouyuan represents the city’s right wall, governing power, authority and balance, the gathering of the masses and matters of execution and punishment.
When the stars in the market are abundant and lustrous, then it will be a year of abundant harvest. If the stars are bright and large, market officials will be strict, and merchants will gain no profit; if small, the opposite occurs. If they suddenly become dim, grain prices rise; if many small stars appear in the middle, then the people will prosper.
When any of the five planets enters, warfare arises, generals and prime ministers worry, and officials in charge of various functions suffer disaster; if they remain stationed there, market disturbances and administrative changes occur.
When the Moon enters Tianshi Yuan, political changes and corruption occur; nearby ministers are punished for crimes, and warfare breaks out.
When Venus enters Tianshi Yuan, armies are mobilized, and grain becomes expensive. If Venus remains stationed there, a foreign chieftain will die.
If Mars remains stationed here, unfaithful ministers will be executed, and great famines and fires will occur. If it appears with a red, blood-like hue and sharp, radiant points, market officials rebel.
If Saturn remains stationed there, grain prices rise sharply.
If a guest star remains stationed, measurements and standards become unbalanced (injustice); if the star’s color is white, market chaos ensues; when it departs, there will be mourning.
If a comet remains stationary, grain becomes expensive; when it departs, outstanding individuals rise up, and the capital’s market district is relocated or changed; its appearance in the Heavenly Market signifies the sweeping away of the emperor’s throne and the establishment of a new order.
If a falling star enters with a pale blue color, goods become expensive; if red, fire disasters and epidemics among the people occur. When a falling star exits Tianshi Yuan, it signifies foreign military action.
Clouds entering the market, with a pale blue hue, indicate widespread illness; if dark blue-black, goods become expensive; when it exits, goods are cheap; if yellow and white, goods are also cheap; if black, the overseer of markets will die.
If a comet sweeps over it, the capital city’s market district will be relocated or changed. When a guest star enters, war will arise; when it departs, a noble person will die.
Constellation Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer
29♏00 to 13♑38
OPHIUCHUS OR SERPENTARIUS. The Serpent Bearer.
Legend. This constellation is said to represent the infant Hercules who strangled two serpents sent by Juno to kill him as he lay asleep in his cradle (see SERPENS).
Influence. According to Ptolemy, it is like Saturn and moderately like Venus. It is said to give a passionate, blindly good-hearted, wasteful and easily seduced nature, unseen dangers, enmity and slander. Pliny said that it occasioned much mortality by poisoning. This constellation has also been called Aesculapius and held to rule medicines. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Oin and the 16th Tarot Trump “The Lightning Struck Tower”.
Magical. Drives away poisons and cures venomous bites. [1]
Ophiuchus was noted in classical times as the constellation of those who had the power of discovering healing herbs and skill in curing the bites of poisonous serpents. In a genearthical chart, the constellation denoted prudence and wisdom. [4]

The native gains high preferment through application and industry. High preferment in martial, finance, sports, and artistic matters. Any self-created problems would bring disaster, which could affect others as well as the native. Possible name and fame, good or bad. [5]
Bob Woodward 0°15′, Pablo Picasso 0°38′, Michael Jordan 1°18′, Alice Cooper 1°49′
Mercury conjunct Han: The native has a keen mentality, expressive, and somewhat jovial, but generally develops into becoming a private person. Negatively, their problems will be self-created, of an endless nature, even involving legal entanglement. [5]
(2°00′ orb): This is similar to Mercury at Acrab, but it is more painful at this degree. The sciatic nerve slips out of position, and there is a blockage of energy flow to the nerves. A shortage of energy at this point causes a slight crippling at the spine and buttocks. These natives will usually have problems with the sciatic nerve and are unable to squat down to the floor. They cannot get into this position easily as there is a pull on the nerves and spine where they feel sharp pains up the spine. Rubbing oil on the buttock and spine area would be very helpful. [3]
Zoë Kravitz 0°22′ (and Sun), Adam Driver 0°35′ (and Uranus, MC), Steven Spielberg 0°40′, Marie Curie 0°44′, Uri Geller 0°47′, Vito Genovese 1°16′, Albert Camus 1°16′.

Mars conjunct Han: The native is energetic, fearless and may be diplomatically ambitious. Shameless. [5]
(4°00′ orb): This is similar to Mars at Acrab, except that the energy at this point is totally ego-oriented. The problems at the Graffias point are, for the most part, brought out through the subconscious. At this degree, Mars is pure ego, and the native actually enjoys conquering situations. They are very aware of what they are doing to others. They enjoy conquering a woman who is having a relationship with a friend. This would also apply to a woman with this position. To them, the enjoyment is in making the conquest, which is a great game for them, and their ego inflates further as they watch the other person become the loser in the game. These are the persons who can complete a task before anyone else and then brag about it so they can keep their egos inflated. They are the individuals who can be found competing in games where targets are used, such as archery, darts, and knife throwing. [3]
Arthur Koestler 0°34′, Erich Fähling 0°56′ (and Venus, Uranus, AC), Jacob Schiff 1°01′ (and AC), Ilhan Omar 1°19′, Ho Chi Minh 1°28′, Jayden Jaymes 2°06′ (and Saturn).
Jupiter conjunct Han: High preferment in sports, astrology, government, martial matters and association with public affairs. Fame, good or bad is possible. [5]
Heinrich Himmler 0°04′ (and Uranus, MC), Alan Turing 0°05′, Karl Ernst Krafft 0°16′, Maria Mandl 1°31′ (and Venus).
Saturn conjunct Han (3°00′ orb): This causes restriction of the nerves, bringing sharp pains through the right side of the spine. This also affects the ego in that they are unable to participate in any type of athletics or similar events in order to build their ego. They generally have a slight limp and cannot walk with an even gait. They do not have good balance or a good aim and enjoy games as an observer or helper rather than as a participant. They simply do not have the ego drive to win. These persons can be found helping those who are participants, such as a batboy in baseball or caddy to a well-known golfer. Thus, they can brag about working for a popular or famous person. This makes them feel less fearful in their own inadequacy. [3]
