The Sun joins Zubeneschamali on November 11

Fixed star Zubeneschamali, Beta Librae, is the only star which looks green to the naked eye. This 2.61 magnitude star marks the Northern Scale of the Balance, Libra Constellation. It got its name back when the Scales were part of an ancient and larger Scorpion. Zubeneschamali comes from the Arabic for The Northern Claw.

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.
