HISTORY OF ARABIC ASTROLOGY


Designed in ancient Mesopotamia between the Tigris and the Euphrates, Arab astrology was already practiced in the Sumerian era.

The period during which this astrological system flourished was marked in parallel by great scientific research, notably in astronomy and mathematics. Several variants and practices of Arab astrology have spread since the 11th century throughout the Mediterranean basin and especially in Sicily and Spain, wherever Arab civilization has passed. The traditions attached to Arab astrology, however, left little written record because it was mostly a rural practice rather than an astrological system reserved for elite scholars. Thus, it is above all the oral tradition of the ancients and the tales transmitted from generation to generation by the peoples of the Mediterranean who believed in magic, which has allowed to preserve a unique divinatory tradition, where the signs of each of us are all related to a weapon.

THE SYSTEM OF ARABIC ASTROLOGY

According to the system of Arab astrology, each man or woman are endowed with a combat weapon at the time of their birth, to accompany and guide them on the uncertain and strewn with pitfalls path of their earthly life. The weapon attributed to us at birth has a talismanic and symbolic value as regards our attitude towards life, directly related to the specific characteristics of the weapon in question: composition, strength, solidity, flexibility, lightness, reach, precision. However, our initial weapon doesn't decide on our destiny in advance. On the contrary, beginning with the weapon of our birth, we can consequently change our destiny and evolve by changing weapons during our lifetime. The consequences of the decisions we take depend on the capabilities of our starting weapon and affect our evolution in life. Success, love, wealth, social ascent, but sometimes also failures and stagnation are not predetermined and intangible ways. Our starting weapon gives us clear indications on how to defend ourselves against the adversity of life and to rebound when necessary to reach a destination weapon that is up to our ambitions.

THE 12 WEAPONS OF ARABIC ASTROLOGY

There are three sets of weapons each consisting of four weapons of different sizes, each with a different range. The first group of weapons includes short weapons, the second includes medium weapons, and the third includes long weapons. Moreover, within each group the same hierarchy is maintained (size and range). To summarize, the climb begins with the shorter weapon that has the shortest range (knife) to the twelfth and last weapon with the longest range (bow). The hierarchy of weapons corresponds to the social place of man in the society in which he finds himself, which can be measured by three specific factors: the date of birth, the place of birth and the social environment of the parents. Thus, the numerical transformation of these three data makes it possible to determine the number, thus the individual's weapon of birth.

Horoscope and predictions for the 12 signs (weapons) of Arab astrology:

Knife,
Dagger,
Cutlass,
Arabian Dagger,
Iron Mass,
Peasant Club,
Axe,
Chain,
Sword,
Lance,
Slingshot,
Bow.

The Knife is the first weapon of Arabic astrology and therefore corresponds to the starting figure out of the 12 weapons.

Therefore, this man or woman is at the bottom of the social ladder, which is good news in the sense that he can only rise higher up, provided that he learns from his weapon how to act better than the typical transgressions induced by his zodiac sign.

Thus, the personality of a Knife is often marked by a tenacious indiscipline, for he tends to confuse his natural mistrust of the order imposed by society with the personal control of his body and mind. The Knife is a convinced anarchist who refuses all convention and established order. Thus, he prefers to play with the system rather than coping with it, even if it means making him take unnecessary risks that shall only contribute to maintain him as a Knife.

Introverted and defeatist, the Knife also lacks ambition, even though his lucidity and his reading of the movement of the world could allow him to achieve wonders, as long as he doesn’t let himself be overcome with irony and rancor. Angry and scattered, he needs to find a direction and a clear life goal, even more since he can't live by himself.

Fortunately, the Knife is a cunning person, who manages most of the time to stay in his role of an assisted being who needs constant help without imposing himself too much on others, so great is his ability to make what is reprehensible or considered as excessive idleness look natural. In addition, it is better to offer him a valuable item or a sum of money rather than lend anything to him, as he can't organize himself properly to pay his debt on time or in good condition.

As he gets easily dominated by his own emotions, he is easily manipulated by unscrupulous souls who can drag him into the illusory dreams of a quickly won fortune. Yet, when the Knife finally becomes aware of the neglected state of his life and the bad slope he is on, he sometimes rebels against his own defects and works with an unwavering desire to improve his condition. It is then necessary for him to know how to knock on the right door in order to finally optimize his chance of bringing order to his life.

The deep sensitivity of the Knife and his piercing eyes on the world can allow him if he wishes to develop artistic gifts that are just waiting to materialize. Writing, music and poetry are all stepping stones that can help him rise above his condition. If he meets the right weapons on the path of his life, the Knife can, against all odds and without great effort, open the doors of social success that seem inaccessible in his early youth. If ever, among the 12 weapons of Arab astrology you find yourself falling in the box of the Knife, then count on the intrinsic qualities of your birth weapon and on your personal will to rebound and regain the control of your destiny.

THE KNIFE’S TRADES AND JOBS

Despite the rough and clumsy temper of the Dagger, he is above all a person of his word, for whom loyalty to his friends and family remains an undying virtue.

The Dagger is a vigorous and dynamic weapon, a person who doesn't hesitate to embrace physical and difficult tasks. His feet are so rooted in reality that the prospect of success isn’t enough to flatter his self-esteem enough for him to question his life choices. Strong and resistant, the Dagger is very lively. He is a sociable, spontaneous and generous person, generally more suited to manual activities rather than intellectual activities. A reasonable man or woman, he aspires to dreams that he considers within his reach. He is also keeps very worried about the uncertain prospects of the future. As a result, he tends to save most of the money he earns, to the detriment of the quality of his present life. In his eyes, the anguish of finding himself on the street one day goes far beyond the vicissitudes of a modest and reasonable life.

However, the Dagger is one of those people who succeed in fulfilling their life without necessarily being solely guided by gain and personal profit to the detriment of their neighbor. The Dagger accepts his condition and destiny without making waves, which allows him to focus his energy on positive actions.

Despite deceptive appearances due to his simple and direct personality, the Dagger is not a follower of conflictual relations which he knows well are sources of perilous and useless risks. During his life, he remains very attached to his old habits and what he already knows, just as he also makes sure to arrange his daily life to ensure that it is peaceful and reassuring. This is why he mostly keeps an accommodating spirit with every person he meets. Thanks to the coolness of his character, he retains the ability to easily attract the sympathy of the people he meets.

Don’t expect any of his words or actions to surprise you, even if his qualities (like his faults) leave no one indifferent. Never arrogant with other people, he can however get easily offended, because his simple and benevolent nature sometimes make it hard for him to grasp the complexities of a sarcastic or ironic speech. A micro event is enough to hurt his ego. Indeed, under the rough leather of his skin lies a very sensitive and complex soul. If he is angry or feels cheated, the Dagger may resort to violence, even though it is never his initial reaction, he lacks the diplomatic qualities that could allow him to preserve his honor at a lower cost. When he defends himself, physical strength comes to fill the words he doesn’t find. Unfortunately, the Dagger is capable of committing violent acts or uttering harsh words under the influence of anger, which he inevitably regrets afterwards.

In love, the Dagger has an intense and burning sex drive or on the contrary a frozen distance for all that concerns the pleasures of the flesh, but it is rarely an in-between of theses two states. During his sentimental life, the Dagger is as often looking for simplicity as intensity. He can’t stand to stay alone, which falls rather well because he doesn't know how to say no to a romantic invitation. For this reason, the Dagger is able to live through successive relationships that don’t really fill him, because he has bet at a key moment of his life on the guarantee of a love without surprises, leaving behind opportunities which could have helped him climb the social ladder.
