The important factor to understand isAlright, so I've found the Latitude and Declination in the additional tables.
I'm having a difficult time understanding
how your compare that to the Longitudinal Degree.
Must all degrees be conjunct to each other?
your birthdate is approximately mid-May thenHi guys! I'm very new to the Astrologers' Community,
and I just had a question about a couple of fixed stars
I've been studying. I've been studying astrology for a while now,
and decided to branch out into the fixed stars.
I was immediately intrigued by the myth behind Algol,
so I inputted it into my natal chart.
Turns out Algol is in conjunction with my natal Sun by two degrees.
CAPULUS is not conjunct your natal sun by LATITUDEAfter reading all about the mythology behind Algol, I was a little freaked.
However, I then input Capulus and the star is conjunct my sun by zero degrees.
I know this is probably a silly question,
but does having Capulus, since it is the nemesis star of Algol,
present with the conjunction between my natal Sun and Algol
possibly lessen the chance of injury often associated with having a strong aspect of Algol in your chart?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
Thank you, and I hope I haven't broken any community rules;
this is actually my first time posting.
Hi JUPITERASC. I really appreciate your help in regard to my inquiry about Algol. I've been trying to understand how to take into account both the latitude and declination of my Algol placement. I found a very helpful article http://www.astrologysoftware.com/resources/articles/getarticle.asp?ID=33keep in mind that conjunctions to fixed stars are only noticeable
when conjunct by LATITUDE and/or DECLINATION
and not solely by Longitude
"additional tables pdf" above top left of astro.com chart
provide latitude as well as declination and longitude
i.e.
although longitudinal conjunction only is accepted by modernist astrologers
fixed star "conjunction" is in fact not entirely longitudinal
because
majority of fixed stars are BEYOND the ECLIPTIC aka apparent path of the Sun
and
to have any notable influence natally
fixed stars require "conjunction" by LATITUDE and/or DECLINATION as well as longitude

ALGOL IS NOT A PLANETHi JUPITERASC. I really appreciate your help in regard to my inquiry about Algol.

(This is an excerpt from the article)
Out of Bounds Planets
"When planets exceed this 23°27' area, north or south, they are called "out of bounds." Kt Boehrer interprets this as a planetary energy which is outside the ordinary. The Sun, of course, never goes "out of bounds", but sets the boundaries. Planets moving along or crossing this 23°27' tropical boundary line seem to denote extra significance, as do planets moving along the celestial equator (0°).
The activity of the Sun is most powerful within these demarcations known as the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Planets with declinations outside this path are perhaps not challenged by the strength of the Sun and can operate more independently. Perhaps we could also say that the planet cannot express itself along normally accepted lines"
data you posted confirms thatThese are the coordinates of my natal Sun and Natal Algol (Both in the 7th):
*Algol - LONGITUDE26°11'22"
LATITUDE22°25'44" N
DECLINATION 40°57'43" N
---------------------------------------
*Sun - LONGITUDE 24° 1' 4"
LATITUDE 0° 0' 0" N
and ALGOL is also twenty two degrees of declination distant from natal sun
DECLINATON 18°46'37" N
ALGOL has no effect by longitude because
I was wondering if you could help me decipher the latitudinal and declination coordinates,
since you seem to understand how those work
in regards to the affect they have in conjunction.
Thank you so much! Appreciate your helpALGOL IS NOT A PLANET
ALGOL is a FIXED STAR
data you posted confirms that
ALGOL is twenty two degrees of latitude distant from natal sun
and so
ALGOL is not conjunct your natal sun by LATITUDE
and ALGOL is also twenty two degrees of declination distant from natal sun
and so
ALGOL is not conjunct your natal sun by declination
ALGOL has no effect by longitude because
not conjunct EITHER by declination OR by latitude
