That naturally made me think of my dear MOON at 24º SCO 57. At my birth, ALGOL was at 25º TAU 54.

Technically, 0º57 orb, as it's just slightly under 1º.

If I am correct there is another fixed star in late Scorpio.. I'm trying to remember.

Yeah, ZUBENELAKRAB, of Gamma Librae; that's at 25º SCO 24, I believe. It's close enough to be conjunct, as it's under 1º.

I'm kind of amused, I think, because of this configuration:

3H URANUS-MOON-SHERLOCK-GRAVES opposite ALGOL

URANUS is 23º SCO, with SHERLOCK (5049) and GRAVES (18824) being 25º SCO. My MOON is sandwiched right in between. 3H, and all in SCO. I'm amused because of the fact that I'm a former criminologist and current crime drama writer. TV, too. (URANUS).

I created a character years back in the early Naughts -- a vigilante signature killer whose primary MO is decapitation.

I guess that really depends on who you're talking to, and the type of experiences the person has had.. Some astrologers use a bit wider orbs for stars.. Some use oppositions, some don't.. Some grade the orb depending on the magnitude of the star.. I'm not really sure of the magnitude of Algol though..

Let me put it like this.. I guess, in my opinion, if the person is able to draw a certain significance out of their experiences, and link it with a specific fixed star, I think that makes sense.. Of course, this doesn't always make the situation valid. Of course, someone who has had direct experience or correlation with something, it is hard to say that it is merely a coincidence. Some people may use an orb of 2 for a certain star, because they know it works in their chart.. Another person may only use a 1 degree orb, yet hasn't/doesn't have any experiences dealing with the influence of the star, or has only dealt with them on a theoretical level. Knowledge is important.. But, sometimes experience is the exact thing that shows us that sometimes there are things out of our knowledge.

Have anything going on with Algol or ZUBENELAKRAB in the Draconic Aubyanne?

Honestly, for me, it could be argued I have my sun Conjunct Algol.. And well, in a sense, I could see some moments in my life where I could see that manifested.. Yet, at the same time, it could just be a coincidence.

Then that is when the question comes.. How much of something has to happen, before it is no longer just a 'coincidence'? I'm not sure.

Edit: To put it in another way.. Who am I to say that the orbs must be 1 or below, when I myself have never had personal experiences with the star? Who am I to say that the orbs must be 1 degree, when someone somewhere else is experiencing a significant energy that could possibly deal with a star, but they happen to have an aspect that is an orb of 2?(for example) Is it coincidence? Is it some type of forced connection/idea? Or is there more to it? Or.. Is there absolutely, without a doubt no significance since it goes beyond 1 degree?

Who decides these things? lol

No, I am not trying to say "screw the restrictions, the boundaries, and all the set ideas of what is.." I am saying.. "Well, we have an idea of what is.. But, what is that predicated upon?"

I've realized that in reality, sometimes there ARE exceptions and oxymorons, whether we like it or not. Which actually, through my experiences, I've realized this can make us uncomfortable.. Because, it can bring a certain amount of confusion, regardless of which end you are on. (whether you are experiencing something that goes beyond previous accepted guidelines, or if you are someone trying to decide on them..) It also brings a certain amount of confusion, because it is then that we realize there are things that go beyond our own specific knowledge and experiences.. We like to have things to tie onto, because then it is easier to form an identity or way of thinking/being..

How would you interpret the opposition, Aubyanne? I have Algol opposite my Moon as well.

Edit: I wonder if the aspect could be linked to the fact that my head is cut off from the rest of my body in that I often think about my emotions rather than feel them.

The Jupiter/Moon opposition could show a energy of trying to intellectualize/ponder your emotions on a deeper, possibly more methodical way..

In my case, I am always having somewhat of a conflict between thought/emotion, but.. I think in my chart that is pretty easily seen..

Considering you have Moon opposite Jupiter (conjunct Algol)... Well, I could see Jupiter opposite moon in itself causing a more detached way of looking at emotion.. Possibly having an approach of reasoning with emotion.
