Triangulum Astrology

Legend. Triangulum is said to have been placed in the heavens by Jupiter at the request of Ceres who asked that the shape of her island Sicily might be represented amongst the stars.
Influence. According to Ptolemy it is like Mercury. It is said to give a just, companionable, truthful, righteous and benevolent nature, with interest in architecture and Freemasonry. [3]
Noonan
Now called Triangulum (Tri), the stars of this constellation are as Mercury according to Ptolemy. It presages events concerning rivers and streams, and also as regards the weather. It is a generally fortunate constellation, indicating a benevolent and truthful nature.
Mothallah has the planetary nature of Mercury and indicates those of a just nature and those whose living is made in the legal profession. [4]
Triangulum Constellation [Urania’s Mirror]
Allen
Triangulum always qualified as major till the Lesser Triangle was discarded. It lies just south from γ Andromedae on the edge of the Milky Way, and although small and faint, is one of the old constellations evidently more noticed by the ancients than by us. They drew it as equilateral, but now it is a scalene figure, β, δ, γ at the base and α at the vertex.
Transcribed by Cicero and Hyginus as Deltoton, it became Deltotum with the Romans, as well as with astronomers to the 17th century. Naturally it also was Delta, and so, associated with Egypt and the Nile, became Aegyptus, Nilus, Nili Domum, the Home of the Nile, which originally was Nili Donum, the Gift of the Nile, from Herodotus’ ποταμοῦ δῶρον, “the river’s gift.”
Τρίγωνον, used by Hipparchos and Ptolemy, became Trigonum with Vitruvius, and Trigonus with Manilius, translated Trigon by Creech. Tricuspis, Three-pointed, and Triquetrum, the Trinal Aspect of astrology, are found for it.
Its titles Sicilia, Trinacria, and Triquetra are those of the ancients for the similarly shaped island of Sicily, — that Ceres had begged of Jove might be reproduced in the sky, — triangular from its three promontories, Lilybaeum, Pelorus, and Pachynus, and at times identified with the mythical Thrinakia of the Odyssey, the pasture-ground of the Oxen of the Sun, that Gower called Mela’s Holy Ox-land. In modern days it has been noted as the site of the famous Palermo Observatory.
It was here that was discovered by Piazzi, on the first New Year Day of the present century, the first minor planet, which he named Ceres Ferdinandea in joint honor of the patron goddess of the island and of his king, the Bourbon Ferdinand of Naples; but the adjective has been dropped by astronomers as not conforming to their rule of mythological nomenclature for the planets, — a rule, however, much deviated from in recent times in the naming of these little bodies. Perhaps the astronomers have exhausted their classical dictionaries! It was found as an 8th‑magnitude star — Flammarion says as a comet — between Aries and Taurus, coincidentally not far from our Triangulum, the ancient Sicilia; but it was little imagined at the time that 433 similar bodies would be found in the next ninety-seven years, more than 150 of them since 1892, and all but seven of these last by photography,2 then an unknown art.
The Arabians translated our title as Al Muthallath, variously seen in Western usage as Almutallath, Almutaleh, Almutlato, Mutlat, Mutlaton, Mutlathum, Mutlathun, and Mutlatun, with probably still other similarly degenerated forms of the original.
The Jews are said to have known it as Shālīsh, from the name of an instrument of music of triangular shape, or with three cords, mentioned in the 1st Book of Samuel, xviii.6. This same figure, for the three bright stars of Aries, has already been noticed at γ of that constellation.
Heis enumerates here 30 naked-eye components, but Argelander only 15.
The Chinese asterism Tsien Ta Tseang, Heaven’s Great General, included this with λ of Andromeda and the stars of the Smaller Triangle. [2]

Uuuh Neptune there…
Canada is a follower of the USA, which is traced to after the second world war, where the USA returned in ’45, Canada returned in ’46. These days the political right polls very well in Canada, and we see the left in Canada “cleaning up” the USA’s international left policies before they too leave the stage. A simple analogy, someone or country will be grateful.
Political right is polling well. It is supposedly popular with the young. I do believe bannon and company have been embedding what they call judeo Christian ideology camps the world over. Like he said he likes it visceral. He likes to watch.
Rather disappointing.
An old friend, may he rest in peace, dabbled in re-incarnation groups of people. He told me years ago that it was being said that people who died during world war 2 were re-incarnating already then. Too soon I think.
🤣 @ Jamie. Current regime is missing the ‘just’ part. And the ‘legal’ part. Things been upside down here for awhile.
Well Jamie, there a number of attorney resignations going on because they won’t act illegally. As one reporter out, in the NYC Eric Adam’s quid pro quo case, a Pres appointed asst atty general had to go to court because they could not get a lawyer to represent him to drop the charges in exchange for him hunting down immigrants, (and other dirty work I am sure.)

I’m sure a few have noticed that the eclipse series will affect Adams, his Venus like the transiting Moon, is covered up. His Venus is also quincunx natal Chiron, which was also noted applying to China chart transit latest full moon, for reference.
With New York ascendant conj Galactic Centre, more challenging to be the whistle blower

Is it Vedic astrology you are writing about? I could not find anything on Vedic astrology and Triangulum. But good to take a first peak at Vedic astrology.
So would I start to find this on Vedic astrology by locating its nakshatra zone?
Hi Asheesh. It just depends on the particular star and constellation. But usually the Arabic influence is stronger in the official naming of fixed stars.
Thanks for this Jamie. Very mind expanding.
And very appropo considering teetering justice system in America. And the importance of the justice system to equitability in a free society.
Really questioned mentioning this, but it’s the times in which we live. I don’t know what kind of justice systems there are in other countries. Really not talked about much. Was more stable and consistent and lawful in the past here I think. Like based on sound reason and constitution.
Oh this makes sense now. It’s like Sicilian mob law. Omertà. That fits America’s overt transition. And very religious. I think they call themselves Catholics so they don’t have to be Christian (like follow Christ teachings). Very Old Testament. Although Bible is not a word I have heard come up in that faction either.
To be personal about the truth thing, where I get caught up and damaged is with folks like these. “ the Dunning-Kruger effect: the cognitive bias where people with limited competence in a certain area tend to overestimate their abilities. Their lack of intellectual insight means they struggle to recognise when someone else knows more than them, . . .”
It’s in situations when the person(s) claim to know. I am more than happy to have an expert. I don’t have to do the work. Yay. Easy leafy. Except when they ain’t I end up in trouble or at the least massively disappointed.
Easy peasy
I take it Triangulum is in play for upcoming new moon. Will look at that in relationship to natal placements for check on my naivety in trusting the lying expert. I mean do they know they are lying even or do they exist in some alternative reality where they actually believe they know? Either which way I seek to be more discerning, less trusting.
Allen, the inconspicuous one, is in both constellations preview moon. Allen, a great name for inconspicuous. 😊
There is alot I am not seeing alright. But can’t say I don’t imbibe in it. It is natural to me as I am invisible to others. Just had to get over that being a slight and understand the benefits.
Oh gosh i just Deja Vu-ed. Been here before. ???
Two charts, Toronto hockey club (later Maple Leafs), first NHL game, 19 Dec 2017
Start times, 8:00 and 8:15. Transits, first day of spring 2025.
https://postimg.cc/gallery/W1p0CZ2
Depending on which time you use, 8:15 pm shows a Jupiter- Part of Fortune conjunction. 8:00 pm chart shows Part of Fortune conjunct Sedna transit. Asteroid Toronto/VenusRx study, and Armus/Venus square Triangulum. Leo rising, Sun 5th house.
the League uses 8:00pm start, but the 8:15 start is based on a news clipping promoted by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, which could be considered suspect.. You want a 10th house POF/Jupiter conjunct, no? Not if your a different Sedna team, like Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal… But like many others, I enjoy following the ‘Leafs’ and this astrology is simply embellishing asteroid Toronto.
Whether you use 8:00pm or 8:15pm game start, 19 Dec 1917, progressed chart shows a Grand cross, with 6 April 1918 Leo Saturn-Neptune conjunction, opposite Moon, square Mercury, Scorpio ascendant. Pluto either ending 8th house or beginning 9th.

Fast moving progressed Moon in orb to Armus. Asteroid Toronto zero degree Taurus. There’s an eye pattern, Chiron centred, that lines up with spring 2025 transit Sun, like the awareness of pain from previous years contests? But that could be coming from the trenches too.
