The Sun joins Skat on February 28

Fixed star Skat, Delta Aquarii, is a 3.3 magnitude green star on the right leg of the Water Bearer, Aquarius Constellation. The traditional name Skat comes either of two Arabic words. The Arabic word الساق (as-saq) which means leg or shin; otherwise the Arabic word شئت (ši’at) which means wish.

Fixed Star Skat Astrology

Fixed star Skat gives good fortune and lasting happiness. It is of the nature of Saturn and Jupiter (dignified, pious, conservative, acquisitive, retentive.) [1]

The star Skat gives good fortune and lasting happiness and also indicates safety in a deluge. [2]

Skat, δ Aquarii, is another Saturn-Jupiter star by Ptolemy. Utter confusion surrounds the origin of the name, which looks like a Scandinavian rendering of Shat ‘Sheep’. There is no Arab record of it that way, however. Another guess has been Shak, ‘Shinbone’ since that is its location on the water-pourer, but that should be spelled Saq anyway, so that is not to be favored. Some Arab maps have been found to show it as Shi’at, ‘The Wish’, and that is probably the right answer. This causes confusion with the major star Scheat, β Pegasi, at 29° Pisces, however, so that, having found the most likely meaning now for the name, we do best to keep it spelled Skat.

Obviously, the planetary simile gives it much the same nature and significance as the stars from Dorsum to Deneb Algedi inclusive, but here we must see it as in the context of ‘moving on’, like the star before it. People with it strong for them are likely to be good leaders in any adventurous field of activity, physical, economic, or social, and its name as ‘The Wish’ characterizes well the astrologer’s view of the eleventh Sign and House as the realm of hopes and desires. In that case, all should remember that wishes granted by fairies melt away with the next sunrise; those which endure doing so because the beneficiary has worked to deserve them. Such is ever the combination of Saturn and Jupiter. [3]

Skat rules the top of the instep of the right foot in the human body. [4]

Constellation Aquarius

Aquarius appears to have some rule over the virtue of temperance. The beauty of Ganymedes and his flight through the air also link it to the ideas of personal charm and aviation with which it is certainly connected. [1]

The constellation of Aquarius is traditionally the place of good fortune. It indicates full-flowing rivers and springs and portends a sufficient amount of water for agricultural requirements. When in mutatine rising (Sun in 12th house conjunct Ascendant) or in vespertine setting (Sun in the 7th house conjunct Descendant) aspect to the Sun the indication is for rains (but not floods). In medieval astrology, Saturn in the constellation of Aquarius meant that mankind was completely dominated by this planet. While none of the named stars are of the Saturnian spectra, the house of Saturn can be expected to exert its influence throughout the constellation. [2]

25th Arabic Manzil – Al Sa’d al Ahbiya

Favorable for besieging and revenge, destroys enemies, causes divorce, helps prisons and buildings, hastens messengers, hinders childbirth and hinders the action of the body.

With Moon: Unfortunate for everything except taking medicine.

12th Chinese Xiù – 危 (Wēi) Rooftop

The mansion of fortification and earthworks, it is favorable for building construction, renovations, and repairs. But unfavorable for moving. Dangers exist for travelers over land or water. Travelers on land are in danger of attack, whereas travelers by water are in danger of the ship foundering.
