Fixed Stars Astrology (unukalhai astrology)
Unukalhai:
Unukalhai or Unuk Al Hay is derived from the Arabic term Un Al Ayyah meaning the neck of the snake and has in the past also been known as the serpents heart or Alyat a word of unknown origin, possibly oriental and is a word associated with the eastern sheep’s broad tail. It’s a pale yellow colour 2nd magnitude star and sits in the neck of the constellation Serpens Caput. Currently as of 2019 it shares the zodiacal longitude of 22 degrees Scorpio by precession and is approximately 6 degrees north in declination.
Unukalhai Constellation Serpens Caput (ser):
Firstly, let’s look at the name meaning of Unukalhai constellation Serpens Caput (ser). Serpens is the Latin feminine noun for snake while Caput is the Latin neutral word for head. Serpens Caput is one part of a larger picture in that together with constellations Ophiuchus and Serpens Cauda they form in the sky the snake that passes through the healer. In many older star maps Serpens Caput and Cauda were shown as one constellation as they are the head and tail of the one snake that is simply separated by the constellation Ophiuchus in the night sky. While Serpens Caput lies just north of the zodiac constellations of Libra and Scorpio from -5 to +20 in declination and along the 16th parallel in right ascension, you will find it is most clearly visible at midnight in May and June of each year.
Unukalhai Past Signification:
Ptolemy only gave a reference to the constellation Serpens in general saying that its stars were of the nature of Saturn and Mars. While Robson believed the star manifested as immorality, accidents, violence or the danger of poison. Brady doesn’t mention its signification but does mention the star by the name Alyat (the broad eastern sheep’s tail). While Ebertin and Hoffman called the star simply Unuk and also gave it the signification of Mars and Saturn, while also stating it has destructive tendency’s.
Unukalhai Mythology:
Serpens the snake appears in the sky to be passing through Ophiuchus and sometimes coiled around his staff. Ophiuchus in Greek mythology was Asclepius the healer that was famed at being so good he could bring back the dead to life and was punished by thunderbolts for doing so by the God Jove and placed in the sky. It is said that Asclepius upon killing a snake, watched as another snake appeared and proceeded to bring the dead snake back to life by placing a herb on its head. Asclepius then proceeded to learn all he could about their healing properties hence forth becoming the god in the heavens holding the healing power of the snake.

Conclusion As Conjunct Unukalhai:
From the small yet accurate sample above I can definitely concur with the Saturn Mars signification given to it in the past. However, I would add that the Saturn signification appears to be most dominant in this sample and Mars acts in separating or breaking ways. Overall I can see the star appears to be mostly associated with the past or time, family appears to be a strong theme as well as speaking for those who cannot speak and the restoration and the percurrent of facts and separating or unearthing of past times.

Conclusion MC Conjunct Unukalhai:
I can only concur with the first conclusion that the Saturn Mars signification given to it in the past is correct. However, I would add that the Saturn signification appears to be most dominant in this sample and Mars acts in separating or breaking ways. Overall I can see the star appears to be mostly associated with the past or time, family appears to be a strong theme as well as speaking for those who cannot speak and the restoration and the percurrent of facts and separating or unearthing of past times.
Unukalhai T Test Research
After gaining insight from the 20 natives charts above I looked closer at the more dominant vocations and carried out some T tests, the results below give us further insights. The groups are all A or AA charts and scored the following averages. If I mention it is statistically significant, the probability that the Unukalhai in the group mentioned is the reason it’s True is either .05 = 95% accuracy .01 = 99% accuracy .001 = 99.9% accuracy.
Writers MC conjunct Unukalhai: score 2.75 Ave over 5535 Charts
Biologists/Engineers MC conjunct Unukalhai: 2.00 Ave over 5037 Charts
Singers/Musicians MC conjunct Unukalhai: 2.96 Ave over 2830 Charts
Monarchs/Nobility MC conjunct Unukalhai: 4.54 Ave over 279 Charts
Religious/Spiritual figure MC conjunct Unukalhai: 6.11 Ave over 384 Charts
The results did not show a statistically dominant field or vocation that manifested with the conjunction of Unukalhai to the MC (minor searches not shown above). The Average scores don’t indicate this either as a high average is normally 5.00 + the one exception being the religious section scored higher because of the small sample and the charts had tighter conjunctions. I believe this concurs with my opinion above that Unukalhai manifests in vocation and is not specific to a type of career. The other is that the two groups that did score the higher averages although smaller samples were used, indicates an agreement with what we found in the above research, as both religion and nobility is often hereditary in nature therefore corresponding to the mythology and research findings that family and the past is significant.
Unukalhai Overall Conclusion:
I would say there really wasn’t a vast difference between the manifestations of the MC or Asc in the natives charts, and would associate this fact with the star not being associated with one’s career or the way one is seen but both such as a vocation. Singing in some cases were present but it wasn’t as evident as the ancient astrologers suggested. Robson’s delineation of it being associated with accidents, immorality, and violence where nearly non-existent in this sample and there was zero signs of poisoning. Like when looking at any fixed star it is imperative to look at hard aspects or conjunctions from malefics etc that are likely the cause of these manifestations not the star itself and vice versa with the benefic’s. 50% of the natives charts had a strong family theme to them that I found substantial, others didn’t have enough information regarding family to prove so. What the star does imply can be taken from the mythology like this, the snake that dies inspires the new snake and the new snake heals the one that dies. This is very symbolic of many of the above peoples lives as a parent had inspired there child to be like them and the child’s accomplishments healed the parent. In a way it’s about vicariously living through the native like the snake passes through Asclepios. In the meaning of its other name Alyat, the broad eastern sheep’s tail, (broad-comprehensive, eastern-rise sheep-followers tail-story) her we can see the meaning repeated. In not all cases could I find substantial information on the natives, and therefore not all cases could I confirm the family dynamic. However, it was the most dominant evidence and fits the mythology. I would also consider that first snake of inspiration etc necessarily needs to be a family member but maybe an event etc like the French revolution etc.
My final signification for Unukalhai: Unukalhai is of the nature of Saturn and Mars it lends to inspirational and vicarious relationships, intrigue, research and the restoration or emulation of past events or people.
