quote:
Moon in the Via Combusta: The last stricture is if the Moon is in the Via Combusta; 15 degrees of Libra to 15 degrees of Scorpio. Traditionally, this portion of the zodiac contained several malevolent fixed stars that debilitated a planet.Seginus, at 17 Libra was associated with loss through friends and companies; disgrace and ruin. Foramen, a redish star at 22 Libra, was associated with peril.
Because the precession of the equinoxes now places the traditional Via Combusta some ten degrees earlier, this stricture is often ignored. Here, however, the Moon is said to function similar to Moon conjunct Uranus, indicating abrupt changes that will alter the situation and/or bring an unfavorable outcome for the Querent.
The exception to this stricture is if the Moon is in the 23rd-24th degree of Libra. These degrees traditionally partake of the fortune from two beneficial fixed stars.
Spika, also known as Arista is a twinned star at 23 Libra, bringing unexpected advancement and honor beyond all hopes or capacity. Arcturus was said to bring riches, honor and high renown. A reference in the Library by Vivian Robson, called Fixed Stars & Constellations covers each of the fixed stars, their zodiac position and meaning.
