Sabik Star Astrology
Fixed star Sabik is of the nature of Saturn and Venus (slovenly, very immoral, shameless, revolting, mean, sorrows in love.) It causes wastefulness, lost energy, perverted morals, and success in evil deeds. [1]
The star Ras Alhague (α Ophiuchi) is on the nature of Venus, as is Sabik (η Ophiuchi). But these stars have generally been associated with the excesses of this planet, portending perverted morals, mental depravity, and misfortune through women. [2]
Sabik, η Ophiuchi, on the Doctor’s right knee, is a word meaning Preceding, probably to indicate that this knee is ahead of the other. By longitude, it is in very strong position, with the Head star of Hercules and Ophiuchus before and after it respectively. It continues the Saturn-Venus theme. [3]
Sabik star rules two inches below the center of the left buttock in the human body. [4]
Constellation Ophiuchus
According to Ptolemy is like Saturn and moderately like Venus. It is said to give a passionate, blindly good-hearted, wasteful and easily seduced nature, together with little happiness, unseen dangers, enmity, strife 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”. [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. [2]
18th Arabic Manzil – Al Kalb
Causes discord, sedition, conspiracy against princes and rulers, and revenge from enemies, but frees captives and helps building.
With Moon: Plant, sow, travel and go to war.
6th Chinese Xiù – 尾 (Wěi) Tail
Fortunate for building and negotiating marriages (which resulted in rich descendants), inheritances and education. This Chinese lunar mansion denotes the finding of hidden treasure and promotion to high office. Succession, the heir-apparent and the women’s apartments where he is brought up. That which separates wood from water. Victory and success are around the corner.

If my natal neptune is at 19.54 Sagittarius (5 house), would it be in conjunction to Sabik?
“Neptune conjunct Sabik: Highly sensitive, psychic strong will, prominent writer or speaker, success, many friend, favors from opposite sex, gifts and legacies used for scientific purposes, domestic harmony, sudden death in middle age from colds or consumption. ”
Would all of this be related to the house in which is located? I mean for example highly sensitive, psychic strong in matters of the fifth house – romance, children, hobbies, creativity ….
Thanks!
It’s a close thing with the 2 degree orb. Plus you have to take away the precession correction value from it’s year 2000 position. For example, if you were born in 1980 then you would have to minus 17′. leaving Sabik at 17°41′. Also, Any fixed star conjunction will play out through the planet, not a house which is an imaginary human construct. Any effect houses do have is based on the energy of communal human imagination, or brainwashing.
My AC is 1: 21’27 Scorpio 2: 17’53 Sagittarius 3: 8’53 Capricorn
Does that mean my second house is affected? Looks like it’s sitting right on Sabik. I lost everything a few years ago (dark night of the soul) so could that be why?
Do you think the SUN joining Sabik will be a positive force? Snakes like to BASK in the sun right? Perhaps my time in the sun has finally come! 😉
Also, is it often that the SUN joins Sabik? Sorry lots of questions, I am fascinated by the fixed stars-
Thank you for this article, really glad I saw it
QB 🙂
Hi Queenie, house cusps other then the cardinal axis’are not affected by fixed stars. Check out your Ascendant conjunct Rasalhague. Very interesting considering your interest in snakes. And yes, Sun on Sabik is a good influence. Gals to see the stars have tweaked your interest!
Does that mean I’m a bit of a snake charmer O.O …that explains a lot!!! (I also have Alphard in my chart) – and tend fall in love with people that have addictions, though I don’t have any (except for coffee!!) This stuff is so fascinating- much to learn. Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated! 🙂
Yes, a snake charmer or herpetologist. Interesting you attract users because these stars also indicate a healer, doctor.
wow! thanks Jamie 🙂 You rock!!!
Hi Jamie! What does it means if it’s exact conjunction on my Descendant?
When there is no specific interpretation I stick to the general description, in this case applying it to your partners.
If I have it conjunct Pluto and in the money house, with hard aspects to both Moon and Saturn–that cannot be lucky for my bank account, right?
I don’t use Houses Galina. I always look to Venus for money matters.
Ah, thank you anyways.
I have moon in conjunction with sabik. leo rising, sag moon pisces sun. i feel like i have to become sucessful and i have to become wealthy! Can i still ?
Venus 21 degrees Capricorn
I have a screen shot of a children’s book back from the 1890’s of someone reading the stars and since I am new to astronomy if you can breakdown it’s meaning and if it is something that will happen again or regularly. Don’t see a way to attach here if you can let me know how to get it to you
Sounds interesting Mike: jamie@astrologyking.com
