Zubeneschamali Star Astrology
Fixed star Zubeneschamali has the planetary nature of Jupiter and Mercury (religious mind, thoughtful, philosophical, writer on religious or similar subjects) but later writers have considered it similar to Jupiter and Mars, and Alvidas likens it to Mars in sextile to Jupiter. Symbolically called the Full Price, it gives good fortune, high ambition, beneficence, honor, riches, and permanent happiness. [1]
This star is much noted for particular sharpness of mind and intellect, and there is often a very powerful psychic quality there also – or psychotic if the planets and aspects are of a harsh enough nature. For good or ill it will go to the extremes of what a human mind can achieve. [2]
The Northern Scales has a Jupiter-Mercury nature and therefore positive properties. Tied up with the MC and Ascendant or with well placed stellar bodies, the Northern Scales are credited with helping the native to gain honors and distinction. When connected with Mercury they are supposed to make the native studious. In good position, the star will arouse, above all things, spiritual and mental forces. The conjunction with Sun, Moon, or Jupiter favors civil servants, lawyers and scientists. Confiscation of possessions during times of war. Credited with bestowing an immortal name. [3]
Chaldeans believed that when this star was clear the crops would be good. [4]
Zubeneschamali rules the middle section of the colon in the human body. [5]
- Psychic entertainer Uri Geller has a conjunction of Moon, Venus and Jupiter on Zubeneschamali, quincunx Uranus.
- Charles Manson has the conjunction of Sun and Venus on this same star, but psychic turns to psychotic with Venus and Sun square Saturn.
- Leonardo DiCaprio also has the Sun and Venus conjunction on Zubeneschamali, but Venus and Sun trine Saturn seems to make him more lovable.
- Valerie Solanas, the radical feminist who tried to kill Andy Warhol, had Moon conjunct Part of Fortune on this star, sent psychotic with neurotic quincunx aspects to the Sun, Mercury and Ascendant.
- Lynndie England gained an immortal name for all the wrong reasons at Abu Ghraib prison. Her good fortune from a Venus Jupiter conjunction on Zubeneschamali went pear-shaped for her reputation with a square to Midheaven, made worse with the Sun just behind on Zubenelgenubi, the malevolent neighbor of our star.
- Mohandas Gandhi certainly gained immortal status with Venus and Mars on Zubeneschamali, but being opposite Pluto it was an intense struggle against powerful forces.
- Psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer combined the spiritual and mental forces of the North Scale with a conjunction to Jupiter, North Node and the Vertex Point. A trine to medicine man Chiron helped him gain credit for identifying Alzheimer’s disease.
The combination of spiritual and intellectual powers brings a name to be remembered for astrologers:
- Robert Pelletier with Ascendant
- Jonathan Cainer with popular Moon
- Jeff Green with Venus
- Raymond Merriman and Charles Jayne with Jupiter
- Joseph Crane (Venus and Saturn)
- Sydney Omarr and Chris Brennan with traditional Saturn
- Walter Koch and Dane Rudhyar with revolutionary Uranus.

Beautifully detailed work!
So interesting, Jamie, that you analyzed also this patterns of the pre-existent condition of the luminary (ies) or the planet (s). I find it very important to take this into consideration! It makes us much more punctual and deep seeing.
My NN is conjunct this star, and I´m feeling Saturn rather heavy, though feel happy (Asc. Cancer with a Júpiter transit).
I feel rather invited to NOT expect miracles (maybe, accepting things, processes and people -including myself- just the way IS).
Thankyou!
🙂
M. del Rin.
Gives me some hope for what I want to do with my life. It’s a long road but my AC (technically in Noctua) near this star, trine Mercury on Homan will be a big help I feel.
This is a great analysis. Thank you! I have the Neptune conjunction – most of the influences listed are spot on.
I really appreciate that you’ve included a table listing all the conjunctions to Zubeneschamali this year, Jamie – will be great for observational purposes to be able to note the effects firsthand!
I know the list of interpretations above for planets conjunct this star are based on Robson’s work and so there are no interpretations given for Pluto or some of the asteroids, but I would love to find astrologers formulating some new hypotheses for fixed star conjunctions to any of these “newer” bodies. Pluto has been observed since the 1930’s, and I think we’ve had enough time to gather data and start gradually theorizing its effects when found in conjunction to any of the fixed stars.
I am intrigued, in particular, by possible interpretations for Zubeneschamali conjunct Lilith – Lilith is such a powerhouse already that having her in Scorpio conjunct this star must surely boost her moxie!
There is nowhere a single aspect related to the apocalyptic flood in Serbia and the Republic Srpska!!!!
That’s an amazing work!
I have always wonder how my Uranus works (it’s on the 4th but it’s also the ruler of my 7th and 8th houses) and I think this post helps. My natal Uranus is at 19.51 Scorpio 4th House so I would understand that it is still influenced by this star (even if it’s a little bit more than a 2º orb) would you agree with me on this?
This star interacts also with my natal Chiron 10th House Taurus at 18.16 (retrograde). As far I understand it would be in opposition but would that mean that it is positive or negative?
“Uranus conjunct Zubeneschamali: Economical, great self-control, psychic, material instincts, many difficulties, good for gain but much expenditure, loss through law and enemies, help from influential friends, occasional peculiar domestic disharmony, sudden death often from heart trouble.”
Indeed most of the description applies to me: I do have a great self-control (although I always thought it was due to my natal Saturn opposition natal moon). It is also true that people who know me tend to say that I have a very strong ability to identify information hidden from the normal senses and I do have very vivid dreams. Information comes to me like a bolt out of the blue and I usually pick up information that can help other people or even inform me about danger/future events.
I am also careful to do not waste money or resources more than necessary when it comes to the 4th house matters and I have experienced in my life many difficulties on that area. In fact, a couple of months ago I had some loss through law and enemies… it was related to a housing matter but until now I thought it was related to Saturn transiting my 4th house and Uranus transiting my 9th house and opposite my natal Pluto on the 3rd (conjunct my IC)… could that transit activate this star and my Uranus in such a way? My 4th house cusp is in Libra and I have natal Venus on the 12th (yes there was hidden information and money involved).
I am fascinating by the way stars give nuances to planets.
Thank you for writing post that make me think!
Mel, I think the influence of stars acts like a bell-curve if you plotted it against orb. So it will affect your Uranus but weakly. You will know by reading the post how much. If you find a planet in your chart right on a fixed star then you’ll see the difference, especially if it is a more personal point.
Awesome! Thank you for explaining this to me.
My Dad has this Star conjunct his Sun squaring Pluto (my sister has Sun square Pluto too and they are very much alike, although she would never agree!) It says the that the person will be psychotic if their sun has a hard aspect to another planet. He has got something wrong with him. I’ve called him psychotic to my Mum a few times. He’s a mental bully. He’s also chauvinistic. We’ve had a few wars between us, as I’m a bit of a warrior and won’t back down!
Only makes us stronger to come against these kind of people! Brings out the fighter in us! My cousins Dad is the same (Mum’s brother; he’s unrelated to my Dad, but oddly best friends with him). I feel that my female cousin should stand up to her Dad. I’ve stood up to him and told him off before. He backs down! What I’m getting to is – stand up to the bullies. Maybe it’s partly my Mars Square Uranus that makes me that way! I was given that aspect for a reason. I’m definitely a rebel, which comes with that aspect! Freedom fighter! Freedom from authority and bullies! It’s interesting how often that if you stand up to a bully, they’ll back down. But if they have some kind of mental illness, it’s a whole different ball game!
Also Midheaven conjunct Altair for the fighting spirit.
Yes, I’m definitely a fighter! I’m also very protective too, over people who are weaker! I would always stick up for any kid who got bullied, when I was a child. The ironic thing is – I don’t like fighting or arguing, but I’m a a strong woman and won’t tolerate injustice or people wanting to feel powerful by overpowering others!
I think if Sun square Pluto was one of the stronger aspects in the chart then the bullying would happen regardless of the fixed stars.
What hpens whwn natal pluto conjuncts this fixed star?
Oh the irony that Leo DiCaprio was in a movie about Charles Manson …Once Upon a Time in Hollywood!
Tenho essa Estrela em conjunção exata a Lua. e estava curioso para saber a influencia. mas estava dificil de achar as interpretações antigas. grato.
