Atirsagne Astrology
Fixed star Atirsagne has a spectral type of G6, indicating a planetary nature of the Sun.
SPECTRAL CLASS G: A thoughtful, serious, sincere, hardworking, adventurous, private, demanding and self-centered nature. Career and material success, the ability to lead and conquer, mental keenness, determination, endurance, a rise followed by a fall, melancholy, self-destruction and possibly violence. Harsh aspects can cause impatience, irritability, hostility, excessive drive, and an overly ambitious nature. [4]
If the horoscope (AC) is in the cleavage of the hoof of Taurus, and it is aspected equally by benevolent and malevolent planets, they will make a painter, but one whom this study ennobles with famous honor. But if aspected by a malevolent planet alone, famous gladiators will be born, but who, after much applause and innumerable victories, die in this study of combat with a threatening sword <with> great applause and favor from the spectators. [5]
Constellation Taurus
Ptolemy makes the following observations: “Those stars in Taurus which are in the abscission of the sign resemble in their temperament the influence of Venus, and in some degree that of Saturn . . . the stars in the head (except Aldebaran) resemble Saturn, and, partly, Mercury; and those at the top of the horns are like Mars.” By the Kabalists Taurus is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump “The Juggler.” In all the ancient Zodiacs, Taurus is the beginning sign and marked the Vernal Equinox from about 4,000 to 1,700 B.C. [6]
The constellation was an object of worship in primitive cultures throughout the ages. To the ancient Egyptians, it was the bull-god Orissi, but according to R. A. Allen in Star Names and Their Meanings, the star was also worshiped by the Babylonians, Chinese, Druids, and some tribes of Amazon Indians. Its stars, according to Tetrabiblos are: “…like Venus along the line where the constellation is cut off [Taurus is represented as the head and fore-part only of a charging bull. These are the stars 5-Tau, 4-Tau, 3-Tau, 0-Tau, and 30-Tau.]: those in the Pleiades have the nature of the Moon and Jupiter; the one in the Hyades that is bright and somewhat reddish called Troch (Aldebaran) has a ‘temperament’ like that of Mars; the others (in the Hyades) like that of Saturn and moderately like that of Mercury; and those (stars) in the tips of the horns, like that of Mars.” With the exception of El Nath (constellation of the Charioteer), all the named stars in Ptolemy’s catalog of this constellation are in the Hyades and Pleiades. The Bull is now called Taurus (Tau) and traditionally presages the results of the beginnings of large political undertakings. The constellation also portends that which affects wild animals, especially those dangerous to man. [7]
