This might burst Aldebaran’s balloon somewhat, but that’s Antares’ job, smashing sickly meringues!
Aldebaran could just be a little too good to be true, and maybe just a tad too worthy. Aldebaran is “the enlightened”, but I think Antares’ purpose is to remind Aldebaran that he isn’t quite a god yet, and to keep in touch some of the harsh realities of human life. But if Antares has been honoured with the title of a royal star then it must have some redeeming qualities. Like with Aldebaran there is a “Good versus evil” theme with this star. This is the battle that lies at the heart of the Scorpion. He is most often triggered by opposing royal star Aldebaran, (Archangel Michael and God’s soldier.) Through facing his nemeses, Antares is pressured to engage his logical, solar mind. She is just operating in survival mode in order to protect her family.Īntares has a beastly side and must learn to harness these primal urges. If a lioness kills a poor sweet innocent Bambi of a deer to feed her cubs, we don’t say she is cruel, callous or a psychopath. Antares works at the root chakra, survival level. In Christianity the solar god Jesus is tempted by the devil and betrayed by Judas, both depicted accompanied by poisonous snakes or venomous Scorpions.īack to Antares then, we can see why it has such a difficult time of it. The Egyptian Solar god Horus was stung by a Scorpion and sent to the Underworld to reign as green-skinned King Osiris! In Greek myth, Orion was stung in the foot ( The site of Star Rigel) by a Scorpion sent by Gaia for his boasting. There is a recurrent theme of a fear of nature from these heavenly gods. Scorpions are feared and revered throughout mythology. Generally in mythology then, Antares represents that difficult transition from life to death, and then death to life again and the burning off of karma. For the Egyptians, the scales are also used to weigh the souls of the dead before they pass into the underworld too. The two Libran scales used to be the Scorpion’s claws. The constellation of Scorpio was originally much bigger than it is in modern times and spanned both Scorpio and Libra. “The Dead” ) is celebrated on November 2. The Mexican day of the dead (November 1-2.). Other deathly associations for the Scorpio Sun sign period are the pagan festival of Samhain or Halloween. Scorpios fearsome reputation could originate from its position in the south, regarded as the gateway of the Underworld. This is an important star for military personnel, it is said to convey mental alertness, strategic ability and courage to make daredevils”
The Ebertins say “Antares makes people tough, belligerent and pugnacious. It is more subversive than the raw Aries Mars.
Mars is also the traditional ruler of Scorpio and this Mars energy is a night energy. This could be because, like Mars, Antares shimmers a blazing red colour in the sky and by all accounts, its nature is similar to Mars. Robson says: “It causes malevolence, destructiveness, liberality, broad-mindedness, evil presages and danger of fatality and makes its natives rash, ravenous, headstrong and destructive to themselves by their own obstinacy.”Īntares or anti-Ares means the rival or equivalent of Mars. Befitting its lofty angelic status, Antares also looks awesome, a flaming red binary star that occasionally glimmers emerald from its tiny green sibling.Īt 883 times the size of our sun, Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky and second only to fellow super red giant Betelgeuse in size. All red stars have a passionate nature, and like the sign of Scorpio generally, this powerful star has a dangerous and fearsome reputation. Fixed star Antares represents one of the important four Archangels stars. It is literally found in the heart of the scorpion at 9º 47′ Sagittarius. Antares is the alpha star in constellation Scorpio.
