Constellation Cepheus
According to Ptolemy, Cepheus is like Saturn and Jupiter. It gives authority and a sober mind, sometimes making its natives judges or arbitrators, but exposes to cruel and severe trials. If Mars afflicts the luminaries from Cepheus, especially if in an angle, it causes death by hanging, decapitation, crucifixion or impalement. By the Kabalists this constellation is associated with the Hebrew letter Shin and the 22nd Tarot Trump “The Fool.” [1]
In classical times Cepheus was said to presage earthquakes and other events that affect large portions of mankind .[2] The ancient astronomers were Cepheans who made Cepheus the father of their royal family of stars. [4] Cepheus was the inventor of astronomical science. [5]
Alderamin Star Conjunctions
Ascendant conjunct Alderamin: Those who have this star rising will be serious, austere, feared for their severity, always assuming the countenance of upright characters who follow with zeal the Stoic philosophy. Such among the ancients were the Gatos; and another was Tullian in our time, who deservedly through his severity attained the rank of regularly-elected consul. If Venus and Mercury are in aspect, the natives will be writers or performers of tragic dramas. [3]
Alderamin was rising in the charts of both Cato the Elder (234-149 BC), Roman statesman, and Tullian (Tullianus Symmachus Valerius), Roman consul, 280-330 AD.[2]
