Mini-Mini Appendix

"Number of Stars"

1. Now, as you get further into studying progressions, you’ll likely start wondering,

“Just how many stars are there, anyway?”

Of course, stars with clearly strong influence, like Arcturus, are easy to understand. 

But I think various questions arise about stars that aren't particularly powerful but have distinct effects, or stars that feel a bit ambiguous.

Well, I believe the number of fixed stars is infinite, but when I read charts, I probably use about 20 of them.

However, I don't always place much emphasis on them.

2. For example, there is a star called Antares.

This star is located between 8 and 9 degrees in Sagittarius and has a fire element.

Given its name, “Anti-Ares, you might think it’s a star of war.

But it doesn’t really feel that violent; rather, I feel it’s more associated with things like sports tournaments.

......So, you might not even notice it.




3.  There are four main reasons why Tanu-chan doesn't write about many stars.

① First of all, it’s often simply impossible to determine exactly where that planet is located.

For example, the planet Hermes ☋, located around 13 degrees in Aquarius, Gemini, or Leo, is undoubtedly the planet of transportation, communication, stringed instruments, and games, and its influence is strong.


However, I cannot distinguish whether it's at 0 degrees (☌) or 180 degrees (☍).

This applies to Jupiter ♃ and Venus ♀ as well; while ☌ definitely has a positive meaning, ☍ isn't necessarily bad—in fact, it often brings more good than bad.

On the other hand, Saturn ♄ can be problematic at both 0 degrees and 180 degrees.

Furthermore, there are several candidates for a star located around 13 degrees.

Since Hermes is fast on his feet, if we’re talking about a star associated with the feet, could it be Rigel?

.........Hmm, I suppose that’s not necessarily the case.

That’s why I haven’t specified the exact position—I want to avoid being inaccurate as much as possible.


② The next reason is that it might actually be a planet.

Pluto is associated with savings and insurance contracts, but its influence isn’t very strong.

Even when it forms a favorable aspect, the best you can hope for is getting a little pocket money.

It’s not that it has no meaning in terms of revival, but generally speaking, it’s about money.

Both Neptune and Pluto are quite low-key, so I wonder if a planet that far away really has that much power.

.....Also, since astronomers have searched quite extensively beyond Pluto’s orbit, I get the feeling there aren’t any large planets with a cycle of around 1,000 years.

However, if there is a giant planet in a very distant location—for example, one with a cycle of about 10,000 years—it’s entirely possible that it moves so slowly and is so dim that it hasn’t been observed yet.

In that case, if we assume a 10,000-year orbital period, it would only move about 3 degrees in 100 years.

So, even over the past 300 years or so, it might have moved only a few degrees.

Especially if the orbit is highly elliptical, like a comet’s, it’s possible it has moved only about 1 to 2 degrees.

And also, if it were in retrograde motion, or if its orbital direction were exactly opposite, or if it were following an orbit that was nearly perpendicular to the plane of the solar system rather than horizontal to it.........


........For these reasons, I’m hesitant to definitively classify it as a "star" .


③  Furthermore, aside from stars that lie directly on the ecliptic, we must determine the position where stars off the ecliptic exert their influence on the ecliptic.

However, if a star is far from the ecliptic, this can be rather difficult to judge.

It’s fine.... when a star, like Regulus, sits right on the ecliptic, though.



④  And the biggest reason is that I want everyone to experience the joy of finding stars on its own.

......For example, when something really good happens, you might think, 

“What was the situation 30 degrees before this? 

Or 60 degrees before?”

And when you find a some connection, there’s a certain fun in wondering, 

“Could this be a star?”

For example, there is a star associated with eyeglasses at 23.5 degrees in a certain constellation.

This star represents not only eyeglasses but also cars and bicycles.

Although it has other meanings besides eyeglasses, for some reason, it almost always relates to eyeglasses.

It comes around when you break your glasses or get a new pair.

..........Why glasses?

Well, that’s why it’s interesting to observe various aspects.

4. In addition to the above, there are cases where stars are clustered together, making it difficult to determine which one exerts which influence.

For example, there is a distinct star at 29 degrees, but in that sense, both Regulus and the Pleiades are also at 29 degrees.

Also, do only stars have an influence? 

The Andromeda Galaxy and the Southern Clouds (Magellanic Clouds) occupy a huge area in the sky—what about them?

What about the Omega Cluster and other large globular clusters?

What about massive black holes?

........Well, there are so many possibilities, so I think it’s best not to make definitive statements unless, like Arcturus, the star can be clearly identified both by its position and its angle.

As research progresses, the exact location will surely be determined, and once the location is determined, it will become clear exactly which star it is.



There might even be a new planet out there.

..........Or rather, there surely is.



That’s all for today.
