Syrma Star Astrology

Fixed star Syrma, or Surma by its Greek titles, Al Ghafar by its more meaningful name in Arabic. The significance of this star and title lies firstly in the heavy personal responsibility which is implicit in the occult questing and acquisition of spiritual power seen in Khambalia and secondly in the Islamic concept of Istighafar (the act of seeking forgiveness from Allah).

Ghafar means to cover, to protect and to suppress. The longer word is a recognition that the greater our attainment of spiritual power, or indeed any power at all, since all is given to us by God, then the more serious are our lapses into error and sin, to which we remain prone, no matter what power, even the most spiritual, we attain. Some would rephrase that to say especially the most spiritual. [1]

According to Ptolemy, the star in Virgo Constellation “at the points of the feet and at the bottom of the garments are like Mercury, and also Mars, moderately.”

Fixed star Syrma is located at the bottom of the garment, so is like Mercury and Mars: exaggerative, argumentative, unreliable, unscrupulous, given to invective, mechanical ability, very quick mind, great talker. [1]

Syrma is said to have been prominent in the charts of Mohammed and Moses. The Arabs considered this star as the most fortunate of their lunar stations. [2]

Constellation Virgo

Ptolemy makes the following observations; “The stars in the head of Virgo, and that at the top of the southern wing, operate like Mercury and somewhat like Mars (exaggerative, argumentative, unreliable, unscrupulous, given to invective, mechanical ability, very quick mind, great talker); the other bright stars in the same wing, and those about the girdle, resemble Mercury in their influence, and also Venus, moderately (courteous, affable, orderly, elegant, sweet-tempered, lovable, refined, artistic, honor and riches, If rising, love of poetry, painting and teaching, quick mind. If culminating, success in literary and legal professions); those at the points of the feet and at the bottom of the garments are like Mercury, and also Mars, moderately.” By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Gimel and the 3rd Tarot Trump “The Empress.” [3]

This constellation is indicative of an abundance in harvest and a fruitfulness of agriculture in general. But when prominent in the charts of eclipses it portends events concerning kings (heads of state) and in this regard can be an ill omen indeed. [2]

In astrology this constellation and Gemini were the House of Mercury. But usually, and far more appropriately, Virgo’s stars have been given over to the care of Ceres, her namesake, the long-time goddess of the harvest. For her astrological colors, Virgo assumed black speckled with blue; and was thought of as governing the abdomen in the human body, but always as an unfortunate, sterile sign. The appearance of a comet within its borders implied many grievous ills to the female portion of the population. [4]

15th Arabic Manzil – Al Ghafr

Favorable for extracting treasures, digging pits, helps divorce, discord, the destruction of houses and enemies, and hinders travelers.

With Moon: Unfortunate for anything.

Ist Chinese Xiù – 角 (Jiǎo) Horn

Excellent for construction or buying land. It represents agriculture, new generations, growth, and births. All who marry on this day gain great credit and standing and especially favors the marriage of the eldest son of the family.

Calamities and epidemics in the family within three years if funerals are planned on this day. If the Moon occults Spica at a key event, one should hold grave fears.

  1. what if jupiter conjunct syrma it is in my natal chart can you explain it

  2. I imagine Sun conjunct Syrma means you display these traits (depending on how your sun in interacting with other bodies.) Cool stuff!

  3. jamie what do you think about jupiter on fixed start syrma in a natal chart how it will effect the individual

  4. Well as I have taken a couple weeks to understand history, politics, religion and how we all got to where we are at as of today, with considerations of the most radical of Islam having planned this as you’ve all pointed out, then today on Oct. 28, 2023 we are to ask God forgivance, to also consider this Eclipse season as it began in Libra, for balance. What we do not wish to see, as it is most unfortunate with Lunar Station and the opposing Moon in Taurus conjunct Sheratan, we must seek spiritual peace. Moon at Sheratan destruction by fire, war, earthquake, opposite Sun, Mars, Mercury, what I feel is quite horrific in possibility, I for one will look not to the Moon (can’t see it anyway) but to the Sun and call for peace and understanding. Scary times.
