Fixed Stars and House Cusps

Jos Astrology - Fixed Stars

The following description on the main webpage only describes Fixed Stars. The second section, with "House Cusps", do we interpret them in the same way? Or are they less relevant?:

"FIXED STARS: Allow 1 - 2 degrees orb for conjunctions and oppositions to other planets. Conjunctions and oppositions are the only aspects that matter, with conjunctions being most important. The following interpretations concern when a fixed star is conjunct a planet in one's chart or an angle or is prominent. The nature of the planet also should be blended in with the nature of the fixed star. Personal planets such as chart ruler/s and angles are important, with the influence of the fixed star being emphasized in both the life affairs and in the personality".

Sorry, could be Mercury retrograde but I don't quite understand what exactly you are asking. Interpret house cusps in the same way as fixed stars, meaning the cusps conjunct the fixed star? Then yes, only 1-2 degree orb.

I should've quoted a shorter portion of the initial excerpt, but yeah, I couldn't tell if House Cusps were of equal importance or not to the Fixed Stars.

I'm not sure if it was about Fixed Stars or Astrological Degrees, but elsewhere you said to use a range within 1-1.5 degrees orb. So, is 2 degrees less likely to be relevant/influential?

I have these two pain in the ass Fixed Stars that are Conjunct 0 degrees - ANTARES and GIEDI. Is there a way to mitigate their unpredictability/chaos?

ANTARES: Watcher of the West, 9° in Sagittarius

The nature can be impulsive, headstrong, stubborn, and courageous. The life meets with unpredictable events, unexpected upsets and changes, and a loss of success can come from self-undoing. There is military and martial aptitude, bringing honour and favours. This is a warrior star. Those who have this star prominent in their charts often rebel against spiritual and religious oppression, bringing drastic changes in these areas.

GIEDI, 2° in Aquarius ​

Sacrifices are often made, and strange events occur in the life. There is much suspicion and mistrust.

Nevermind, I think I figured it out.

Do I just have to find the Planets/House Cusps where these fixed stars are conjunct, and empower those specifically? Or will this not get rid of the choatic energies of these stars directly enough?

Or do I just have to have a very good AoP, and keep doing Freeing Workings etc.?

HPS Maxine told me within 1.5 degrees, so 2 degrees is going to be faint influence, if any at all.

Empowering the planet or house cusp is not going to remove the fixed star influence. Instead, you can do a freeing the soul working on the actual problem, and keep up cleaning/AoP, as you wrote. Also just be aware of how these can influence your life, and act accordingly. Many problems people experience can be managed just by thinking and exerting better self-control. Trying to make wise decisions based on what we know, and are willing to learn, goes a long way

Thanks for the advice.

I have a few more question's:

- Let's say, if a star is only 2 degrees, but shows up several times as significant aspects, and/or, in the form of both oppositions and conjunctions throughout the chart... Does this mean it will have more than just a faint influence or no? Assuming each one is at 2 degrees, but shows up 2-3x.

- How can we find out if it is 1.5 degrees? the website program only seems to show integers of 1, 2 or 3

Also just be aware of how these can influence your life, and act accordingly. Many problems people experience can be managed just by thinking and exerting better self-control. Trying to make wise decisions based on what we know, and are willing to learn, goes a long way

I do my best in this regard, but the two stars I mentioned in particular seem to be completely outside of my control (if we ignore magickal workings). They manifest in the form of randomness, of say, getting struck by lightning, to which I cannot employ my usual strategic/predictive abilities against them. For example, being falsely accused/arrested for a seriously heinous crime I did not commit, my house being burgled, several car accidents where I am the passenger... just overall being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

And I'm worried what kinda Russian roulette bullshit is gonna happen next.

If the same star is being aspected at 2 degrees by multiple planets/cusps, then yes, it is likely to have influence.

I manually double-check the degree and calculate the orb. A website is great to narrow down what to check, and then manually check from there.

I have a relative who has Giedi, it is problematic for sure. Do cleaning and AoP, and as you advance, you will be taking more control of your fate, and not left to randomness.

Maybe I'm missing something here but, manually, as in, telescope and paper??

I should've clarified. No, just look at the chart and find the degrees of planets and house cusps, and compare it to the list of fixed stars on Azazel's Astrology.
