ASELLUS BOREALIS

Influences of the constellation: The Crab is associated with the Hebrew letter Tzaddi and the 18th Tarot Trump "The Moon". (The Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology, Vivian E. Robson, 1923).

Rising: Shining at the hinge of the year by the blazing turning-point which when recalled the Sun rounds in his course on high, the Crab occupies a joint of heaven and bends back the length of day. Of a grasping spirit and unwilling to give itself in service the Crab distributes many kinds of gain, and skill in making profits ; he enables a man to carry his investment of foreign merchandise from city to city and, with an eye on steep rises in the price of corn, to risk his money upon sea-winds ; to sell the world's produce to the world, to establish commercial ties between so many unknown lands, to search out under foreign skies fresh sources of gain, and from the high price of his goods to amass sudden wealth. With heaven's favour he also sells seasons of idleness at rates of interest to his liking, wishing the swift passage of time to add to the principal. His is a shrewd nature, and he is ready to fight for his profits. [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, p.235.]



General influences of Aselli: According to Ptolemy both the Aselli are of the nature of Mars and the Sun, but Alvidas states that the North Asellus (Asellus Borealis) is like the Sun and Mars in sextile, and the South Asellus (Asellus Astralis) like the Sun and Mars in semisquare. Together they give care and responsibility, with a charitable and fostering nature. (The Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology, Vivian E. Robson, 1923).

General influences of North Asellus: It gives patience, beneficence and courage, and makes its natives heroic and defiant leaders. (The Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology, Vivian E. Robson, 1923).

The two Asellus correspond to the Sun and Mars, both these fixed stars are therefore to count as a positive influence, if in conjunction with the Ascendant, MC or stellar bodies of the same character, but especially if grouped with the Sun or Mars. These people will have an aggressive nature and will not take insults easily. They may, by their own lack of caution, or by being dare-devils, put their life in danger and they will not hesitate to use brutal and violent means. When the Asellus are with the Ascendant danger by large animals (horses, bulls) may exist. (The Fixed Stars and Their Interpretations, Ebertin-Hoffman Originally published in 1928.).

Aselli rising: Burning fevers, blindness of left eye, injuries by beasts, slander from low women or vulgar persons, martial preferment. (The Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology, Vivian E. Robson, 1923).
