Yed Prior Astrology

YED PRIOR. δ Ophiuchi. A deep yellow star situated on the left hand of Ophiuchus, from Yad, the Hand. Of the nature of Saturn and Venus. It causes immorality, shamelessness and revolution. [1]

YED PRIOR. δ Ophiuchi. A deep yellow star on the left hand of Ophiuchi. Spectral class M l. This star gives the native determination, makes them popular, shameless. Negatively the star gives immorality, and  causes revolution. [5]

Yed Prior, δ Ophiuchi is a linguistic hybrid of Arabic and Latin meaning the Fore Star of the Hand, and of course this hand is holding the snake near its head. Yed Posterior, rear star of the hand, is too close here to be sensibly taken seriously. These stars and the previous one are (by longitude) either side of the main stars of Centaurus, symbol of the healer Chiron, meaning a shift from the knowledge gained with Unukalhai, to putting it to use through this healing hand. Its Saturn-Venus quality is perfectly fitted to the purpose, and it is the sure Sign of the practical healer by hand when it is well placed and aspected in the horoscope. [2]

Fixed star Yed Prior rules the left side of the second vertebra (Second Cervical) in the human body. [3]

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. [4]

Mercury conjunct Yed Prior (No orb): The natives with this degree should be careful of their speech patterns as there is a tendency to be tense at times which affects the nerves on the left side of the second vertebra. The nerves draw up and do not remain elastic. This causes these persons to walk with a slight limp and could get to the point where a cane would be necessary. There is also a slight numbness in the spine at the hip. Relief can be obtained by drinking peppermint teas which would lubricate the tiny nerves. They should stay away from harsh foods such as potatoes and tomatoes and substitute rice and cottage cheese instead. Potatoes and tomatoes would be difficult as they affect the nerves at this point.

Saturn conjunct Yed Prior: This is an unraveling of the nerves at this point thus causing inflammation and deterioration. The vertebra becomes sharp and actually cuts into the nerves. There is a lack of energy and circulation throughout this area. These persons have a difficult time bending forward or bending from the hips as it is too painful. There is much pain connected to this, all of which results in these individuals becoming isolated because of the lack of mobility. The seriousness of this problem requires a delicate balance between lubricating oils, Vitamins A and E, and calcium. Calcium is definitely required daily and three avocados over a period of one week. This should be a continuous schedule together with one glass of buttermilk per day and some fruit such as peaches, bananas and small amounts of lemon to keep from building up calcium. Lightly scraping their vertebra with the fingernails from side to side would also be very helpful. [3]

  1. Sounds like my body is feeling this Yed, she needs a healing hand !

    What period of time ? It’s So painful ~
    Thank you for the clarity, and the nutritional guidance,
    KahYah

    • November 24 plus one day either side. Thanks for the question. Now I am adding the dates that the Sun joins each fixed star.

    • Hi Hannes, if there is nothing specific mentioned for a planet, then the general description should apply, in this case to your self love, love life and finances

  2. Your only comment on Jupiter conjunct Yed Prior was “Hillary Clinton”. I read your article on her chart but saw no reference to this conjunction at all. Maybe “Hillary Clinton” is enough said? Should I go feel bad about myself now for having this conjunction in my chart too? Haha. Just joking.

    • Hi Christina. For PLanets that astrologers have not written about I have started listing celebrities so we might get a better idea. Obviously I have a way to go 🙂

  3. My North Node conjunct both Yed Prior, and Toliman. However, my South Node conjunct Alcyone. What do they mean?
