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, 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 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, ‘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 who 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. [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]

(0°30′ orb): This brings on flashes of spiritual revelations to help the individual create the most pleasant existence possible. They receive a complete picture to guide them, but they must grasp the revelation quickly, as it is just a flash in the mind. By pursuing the path that the image has projected, the energy will respond to greatly benefit their lives. They receive revelations as they are needed depending on circumstances surrounding their lives. Their most vivid revelations are received about every seven years from birth which follows the orbital pattern of Uranus. These revelations are not received to benefit others but are strictly for their own welfare.
