Pleides or weeping sisters, were right at the end of Taurus, but of course they won't be in exactly the same
degree in 2008 as they were in 1958.
I found this bit of the article interesting"Where our star charts show the head of Medusa clutched under the left arm of Perseus ("The Rescuer"), theChinese, who had possibly the oldest astrological tradition in the world, saw Beta Persei as Tsi-Chi, The HeapedUp Corpses, part of an asterism that stretched from 17to 29 Taurus, called Ta-Ling, The Great Burial Trench".
I seem to remember that the author Albert Camus had something conjunct Algol. Wouldn't read too much into
it, it must be quite common to have planets conjunct Algol, and they will mostly express themselves in subtle
ways.

Algol makes no aspects on my chart, except a conjunction with Pallas Athene, in the 12th. So watch you don't
cross me, or my subconscious Warrior will subconsciously have your head.
It's almost a 2 deg orb though -- maybe too wide for fixed stars/asteroids??
Algol's placement/aspects do look ominous in the charts of Diana, Princess of Wales:
NATAL: ALGOL mD and

oB;
oO;
pG;
tAC;
oK
oE
PROGRESSIONS and TRANSITS for Aug 31/97 (the day she died):
ALGOL p Progressed AC, transiting I & natal G all in j, House 1 (physical body);
ALGOL r progressed B in 7th (partners);
ALGOL pE in 9th (foreigners/foreign countries)

aspects algol.
The effect I've noticed is that having a child and raising him has been dramatic. He's healthy, sweet, big andgorgeous ( Jupiter in the first house) and so appealing in an odd way that I have had three serious instances
now of people trying to actually take him away from me. I have had to make tremendously hard decisions withhis wellbeing in mind. I had my own mother trying to covertly suggest that my son was actually better off
without me and that the best idea would be for me to give custody of him to *her*. My exhusband was
unsuccessful in proving to the courts that I was an unfit mother, but once he remarried his new wife wanted togive this angle another try.
If I had known when I was eighteen I would spend my life in such a deep struggle...well, i would have done it
anyway I guess but it would been nice not to walk around in a state of such surprise.
It's mystifying because, look, I'm not that bad. it would have been one thing if I had been fourteen andhomeless or something when I had him. It's just all been tough. Hard luck. Not to mention, my boy has a fixed
grand cross in his chart and Pluto on the DSC.
Oh. Two miscarriages, before this one. Bum uterus.
Interestingly, I had to move to Germany to get pregnant and give birth. My relocated chart has that same
jupiter in the first house.

Daylia,interesting post about Diana, Princess of Wales and her death;) I think it's more that visible Algol had
something to do with it..

Well, I honestly don't know that much how algol affects planets, or angles in the the chart, though being rightontop of my DC must be important somehow? Any thoughts?

Ex Member« Reply #7 - on: 21.06.2008 at 03:00 [UT+1] »I think you have to kind of be personally interpretive with the fixed stars. I've had my woman troubles but I
have lots more indicators for this type of sorrow than that in my chart: BML conjunct the ascendant, Ceres
conjunct the ascendant, saturn square jupiter in the fifth house, moon conjunct neptune, moon square mars.
So what I said about algol before...actually the whole story is -- algol conjunct jupiter means the power to have
victory over one's enemies. And so far I have. Which is great, I just don't want any enemies. I'm a Libra. I wantfriends.
Interestingly about that -- this is the same thing jyotish says about that very same Jupiter in Taurus in the 6thhouse.
Anyway -- i think the best way to use fixed stars is the traditional way, where you find out what was culminating
and...I don't know, all those other words they use in the fixed star reports. Parans or something. Fixed starreadings from what I've read are best served the old way. In our fixed star reports, I don't have algol, but myson does.

conjunct doesn't mean they are- his post is # 18 I think.

James send me your chart data with your rising degree if you would.

Gender:Recently I came across one person that experienced neck problems when they were a child when Algol
progressed the DES.
You may just come in contact with many people having an Algol emphsis.
Algol does not always mean the worst nd if the creative promenient in your life you can draw from thatinspiration.
At present many in my life have planets conjunct Algol.

There are those which are victim and perpetrators that have larger problems which make Algol come into
play,but there are those who have made great use of the star's creative and intuitive power it seems which areoften overlooked.

Gender:In the worst case scenario murderers hve the sar active and their method of killing is by strangulation such inthe cse of John Wayne Gacy .
At the other end of the spectrum some vry famous artist and scientist had the FS prominent in teir charts
which became a driving force behind their works such Diego Rivera .
Many of the developers of the Atom bomb also had the star active even Albert Einstein had it I believe active in
his chart. Oppenheimer and other people connected to the Manhatten project had Algol active.The power ofradiation also has the power to destroy cancer as well as destroy life itself as an example.
Much depends on the placement ,aspects and various other factors as to how it was used. You cannot isolate
the star and say that it will denote the worst.
Some vistims did die of ailments or else were strangled or hung when having the star prominent.
One female mass murderer born in the mid 1800's strangled young children she baby sat for and then after
being found out strangled herself in her jail cell or asylum.
Many factors need be in consideration.
Another I knew of had a strange neck ailment when their progressed Descendant conjunct the FS at an early
age which eventually cleared up.
There is even a saint who had it cj. Mars and others had it cj. Saturn and they all lead successful lives.
So please do not jump to conclusions when first reading of the Stars effect.
Recently I started coming in contact with many people having itconjunct their personal planets like the Sun
and Mars. So one must really take other factors in the chart into account before thinking the worst.
Always remember thateverything has dual meaning.Even the worst of aspects and planetary positions.Even

the Degreeist will admit that all degree's have dual meaning.
I the case of JW Gacy he had the FS wedged between Sa/Ur just before the 7th which is a very powerful
postion.Any planets found prior to an angle are most powerful and shall be focal in the makeup of theindividual.
Gauquelin did much research into these placements before the angles and they are ,for better or worst very
powerful positions.
Another like Hitler had Uranus just prior to hte ascendant and we all know what his destiny brought us.
Algol I havve seen to be very powerful when there is a conjunction of 2 planets less hen 7degrees with Algol
between them.
After looking at many killers charts Algol did not place highly as for activity for most all of them,but there are
exceptions.
Be careful not to draw to many conclusions as to it's influence before taking other factors into consideration.
The ancients made good use of the FS's ,but they almost always equated them with being malefic due to thetimes.Now I find that they can be beneficial as for a driving force for the creative side and not as difficult as fortheir devastating effect.In ancient times Mariners were struck with vilemt storms and other factors which we do
not deal with as much today.
Sirus is the most beneficial of all stars I have found as it seems those having it conjunct something weem tohave an angel on their shoudler.The so called royal stars it seems can work either way.
Just becareful with the older descriptions which seem to say the worst when describing the effects of these stars
and I believe more study needs to be given to bring them into modern interpretation as to their effect insteadof having people fear the worst.Most times it is not warranted and of course at other times the dear should bereal or considered.
Death by decapitation or stangulation might not be appropriate,but neck,face,teeth,Arthritis ailments might bemore fitting then the fear of the worst like strangulation and remember that it can be used as for the power tocreate.
