최근에 고전 서양 점성술에 관련된 한 번역서인 크리스천 점성술(17 세기 영국의 유명한 점성가의 저서)을 번역 출간한 한의사의 사이트를 우연히 방문해서 글을 읽다가 그분이 자미두수도 공부한 분이라 다른 분들도 이미 알고 있는 사실이지만 동양 점성술의 기원이 고대 메소포타미아 지방의 고대 점성술에서 비롯되었다는 글 등을 재미있게 읽은 적이 있다.
그 분의 주장에 의하면 자미두수의 14주성중 태양(해)과 태음(달)을 제외한 나머지 주성들은 고전 점성술의 Fixed stars (항성 - 항성들은 고유의 Planetary nature를 가지고 있음)을 기원으로 한 것이며, 화록은 용두(Caput Draconis = Dragon's head)이고 화기는 자미두수전서에 화기성의 기원이 계도성(計都星), 즉 Ketu = Cauda Draconis = 용미임을 명시하고 있다는 내용을 읽고 신선한 충격을 받은 적이 있다.

그분의 주장은 고대 메소포타미아의 점성술이 중국에 들어와 동양에서 7행성 대신에 항성을 이용한 것은 자평 명리(십신 개념도 항성의 성질이며 여기에 10간 12지의 개념과 음양오행 사상이 접목된 것임)나 자미두수 때부터 라고 추측되는데, 사실 동양학에서 사용하는 허성들은 실제 별들에 기원을 하고 있지만 사실은 오운육기의 정형화된 상수학적 이론으로 짜집기된 일종의 요약집으로 봐야 한다는 것이다.
실제의 별들로 미래를 예측하는 점성술 (고전 점성학이 중국에 들어와 칠정사여(성평회해)가 됨) 이 너무 어렵기 때문에 고인들은 3천년에 걸친 오랜 세월 동안 간편하게 보는 법을 많은 시행착오를 겪으면서 만들어낸 산물(일종의 우주법칙의 요약, 공식집)이 바로 자미두수와 사주추명학 등이라는 것이다.
물론 상대적으로 실성보다 허성 체계가 개인의 미래를 예측해보기는 용이하지만, 아쉽게도 이미 정형화된 요약집과 공식들(동양학)에서는 해당 사항들에 대한 특화는 있지만 광범위한 적용이나 학문적 연구에 대한 것은 기대하기 힘들다고 본다. 그래서 실제의 별들을 이용하는 서양, 아랍, 인도의 고대 점성술이 학문적 연구로는 개인적으로 더 큰 매력이 느껴지는 이유이기도 하다.
만들어진 창제 원리를 자세히 모르고 이미 고인들에 의해 산출되어 만들어진 허성들을 이용하여 미래를 예측하는 것은 마치 수학의 기본 원리를 모르고 시험에서 단지 고득점을 얻기 위해 선대의 위대한 수학자들이 이미 만들어 놓은 수학 공식을 이용하여 난제를 풀어내는 수험생이 된 기분이 들기 때문입니다.

구요성 [九曜星]
태양, 달, 수성, 화성, 목성, 금성, 토성의 칠요성 외에 고대 인도에서는 가상의 두 별(라후, 계도)을 포함시켜 구요성이라 불렀다. 이 두 별에 의해 일식과 월식이 일어났다고 생각했으며 점성술에서 이용하여 길흉을 점쳤다.

고대
천문학에서는 태양과 달을 각각 일요성(
日曜星)과 월요성(
月曜星)이라 하여 화요성·수요성·목요성·금요성·토요성의 5행성과 동격으로 생각하고, 이들을 '칠요' 또는 '칠요성'이라 하였다. 그러나 고대 인도에서는 칠요성에 나후성(
羅睺
星)과 계도성(
計都星)이라는 실재하지 않는 두 별을 포함시켜 이를 구요 또는 구요성이라 하였다.
일식과 월식이 황도(
黃道)와 백도(
白道)의
교차점에서 일어나는 것은 눈에 보이지 않는 별이 황·백도의 두 교차점에 1개씩 있어 이들이 태양 또는 달을
가리기 때문이라고 생각하였다.
점성술에서는 매일의 길흉에 대하여 점을 치는 데 이용한다.
밀교의
만다라(

神)과 그 권속을 묘사한 것이 있다. 한편, 고대 중국의 낙서(

Fixed star: DUBHE
Constellation: Alpha Ursa Major
Longitude 1900: 13LEO47. Longitude 2000: 15LEO12.
Declination 1900: +62.17'. Declination 2000: +61.45'.
Right ascension: 11h03m. Latitude: +49.40'.
Spectral class: K0. Magnitude: 2.0.
Suggested orb: 1 deg. approx. Planetary nature: Mer-Ven
History of the star: A yellow star on the back of the Bear, Ursa Major.
The Arabic name for Dubhe is Ad-Dubb (1), "The bear". Dubb, more generally Dubhe, the Bear, is the abbreviation of the Arabians' Thahr al Dubb al Akbar, the "Back of the Greater Bear".
Al Biruni said that it was the Hindu Kratu or Krathu (born from Brahma's hand), one of the seven Rishis or Sages.
Some have asserted that in Egyptian astronomy it was Ak, the "Eye"; i. e. the prominent one of the constellation, utilized in the alignment of the walls of the temple of Hathor at Denderah, and the orientation point of that structure perhaps before 5000 B.C.; at all events, before the Thigh became circumpolar, about 4000 B.C. As typifying a goddess of Egypt, it was Bast Isis and Taurt Isis.
Alpha (this star Dubhe) and beta (Merak) were the Keepers, or Pointers, at the front of the "Dipper Bowl" in Ursa Major; a line extending through these two will direct the observer to Polaris, the Pole Star.
It is one of the "The Plough", also called "the Big Dipper" stars, a bucket shaped figure or asterism in the back of the Bear, outlined by the stars; Merak (beta), Dubhe (this star alpha), Phecda (gamma) and Megrez (delta). In early Arabic astronomy these four stars constituted the coffin or bier (bier and bear come from the same root word) surrounded by mourners of Al Na'ash, who was murdered by Al Jadi, the pole-star (Polaris), and this constellation was seen as a funeral procession, attributing this title to the slow and solemn motion of the figure around the pole.
The Chinese know it as Tien Choo, Heaven's Pivot, and as Kow Ching. (Allen).
Influence of the constellation: It is said to give a quiet, prudent, suspicious, mistrustful, self-controlled, patient nature, but an uneasy spirit and great anger when roused. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Zain and the 7th Tarot Trump "The Chariot". (Robson).
General influence of the star: Credited with the destructiveness of Mars, working itself out particularly in mundane maps, in a nasty way if conjunct Saturn. Conjunct Hitler's Saturn, Mao Tse Tung's Moon. (Ebertin).
Rising: Those born at the rising of this constellation will be tamers of wild beasts, that is men to teach bears, bulls and lions to lay aside their fierceness and share in human ways. (Manilius 1st century AD).
Setting: In danger of being killed by wild beasts. (Noonan).

Fixed star: ALIOTH
Constellation: Epsilon Ursa Major
Longitude 1900: 07VIR31. Longitude 2000: 08VIR56.
Declination 1900: +56.30'. Declination 2000: +55.58'.

Spectral class: A0. Magnitude: 1.7.

Notes on the star: A star situated on the root of the tail of the Great Bear, Ursa Major - the thickest part of the tail.
This star is known under a number of titles:
The Arabic name for Alioth is Al-Jawn (1), "The black horse". Risalioth is a variation.
Alyat [the syllable Al, in this word Alyat, is not the Arabic definite article] the "Fat Tail" of "the Eastern sheep".
Al Hawar, the "White of the Eye", or the "White Poplar Tree", i.e. "Intensely Bright".
It was Angiras (or Angirasa, Angirasas) among the Hindu Seven Sages. The name Angiras comes from the same root as Agni, fire; many of his functions are associated with fire. Angiras inspires the lawgivers, is an author on astronomy, and is often considered a personification of Brihaspati, the regent of the planet Jupiter, or the planet itself. Aurobindo ascribes to Angiras the role of the revealer of divine enlightenment. (2)
This star is located on the Bear's tail which occurred when Jupiter lay hold of the tails of the two bears, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, and lifted them up into the heavens by their tails. On the long journey, the tails stretched which explains why these bears have long tails unlike earthly bears.
Ursa Major has been called "the Bear with her train," referring to the stars epsilon (Alioth, this star), zeta (Mizar), and eta (Alkaid) which mark the tail. These three stars along the tail have been depicted as three draught-horses in line, pulling the Plough. "The Plough", also called "the Big Dipper" which is the bucket shaped figure in the back of the Great Bear, outlined by the stars; beta (Merak), alpha (Dubhe), gamma (Phecda) and delta (Megrez).
These three stars in the tail of the Great Bear were also portrayed by the Arabs as "Mourners" around a Bier or coffin (bear and bier come from the same root word). The bier was marked by the Plough or Big Dipper stars as named above. The coffin was followed by "Mourners" (the three stars in the tail; Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid), as in the Arabic Banat Na'ash al Kubra, "the Daughters of the Great Bier", and this constellation was seen as a funeral procession, attributing this title to the nightly slow and solemn motion of the figure around the pole. These mourners, the children of Al Na'ash, who was murdered by Al Jadi, the pole-star (Polaris), are still nightly surrounding him in their thirst for vengeance. (Allen).
Influence of the constellation: It is said to give a quiet, prudent, suspicious, mistrustful, self-controlled, patient nature, but an uneasy spirit and great anger when roused. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Zain and the 7th Tarot Trump "The Chariot". (Robson).
General influence of the star: In 'the Tail of the Great Bear', it is not supposed to have a strong influence on account of its great distance from the ecliptic. However, if Alioth is felt to make an impact, it is Mars like and of a destructive kind. Associated with the Sun, suicidal thoughts will be eminent in female cosmograms. Joined with the Moon, it will be an indication of possible danger during pregnancy and delivery.
Amalgamated with possible non propitious planets, it will indicate fiascoes, bad fortunes within the family circle or within the profession or disappointments brought about by friends. It is advised not to include these findings in a prognosis, as these records were not borne out by later research. (Ebertin).
Rising: Those born at the rising of this constellation will be tamers of wild beasts, that is men to teach bears, bulls and lions to lay aside their fierceness and share in human ways. (Manilius Astronomica 1st century AD).

Fixed star: ALKAID Benetnash.
Constellation: Eta Ursa Major
Longitude 1900: 25VIR31. Longitude 2000: 26VIR56.
Declination 1900: +49.49'. Declination 2000: +49.19'.
Right ascension: 13h47m. Latitude: +54.23'.
Spectral class: B3. Magnitude: 1.9.
Suggested orb: 1 deg. approx. Planetary nature: Moo-Mer
History of the star: A brilliant white star on the tail of the Great Bear Ursa Major. The Arabic name for Alkaid or Alcaid is Al-Qa'id (1), "Leader" of the mourning maidens.
In this Al Ka'id we see the derivation, through the Moors, of the modern Spanish word Alcaide the commander or governor of a fortress. Ideler translated the original as the "Stadtholder" [from Dutch stadhouder ‘place-holder’, and was applied to governors of former Dutch colonies].
Assemani transcribed from the Borgian globe Alcatel "Destroying".
Another title Benatnasch from Ka'id Banat al Na'ash, the "Governor of the Daughters of the Bier", i.e. "the Chief of the Mourners".
Al Biruni gave it as Marici or Marichi "A ray of light.", one of the Seven Rishis of India, sons of Brahma. Marichi was father of Surya, the Sun (or the deity presiding over the planet). Marichi is the chief of the Marutas. The Marutas are armed with lightnings and thunderbolts, and ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm. The Marutas, according to Aurobindo, represent the progressive illumination of human mentality, until from the first obscure movements of mind which only emerge out of the darkness of the subconscient, are transformed into an image of the luminous consciousness of which Indra is the Purusha, the representative being (2).
This star is located on the Bear's tail which occurred when Jupiter lay hold of the tails of the two bears, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, and lifted them up into the heavens by their tails. On the long journey, the tails stretched which explains why these bears have long tails unlike earthly bears.
Ursa Major has been called "the Bear with her train," referring to these stars epsilon (Alioth), zeta (Mizar), and eta (this star, Alkaid) which mark the tail. These three stars along the tail have been depicted as three draught-horses in line, pulling the Plough. "The Plough", also called "the Big Dipper", is the bucket shaped figure in the back of the Bear Ursa Major, outlined by the stars; Merak (beta), Dubhe (alpha), Phecda (gamma) and Megrez (delta).
These three stars in the tail of the Great Bear were also portrayed by the Arabs as "Mourners" around a Bier or coffin (bear and bier come from the same root word). The bier was marked by the Plough or Big Dipper stars as named above. The coffin was followed by "Mourners" (these three stars; Alioth, Mizar and Alkaid), as in the Arabic Banat Na'ash al Kubra, "the Daughters of the Great Bier"; and this constellation was seen as a funeral procession, attributing this title to the slow and solemn motion of the figure around the pole. These mourners, the children of Al Na'ash, who was murdered by Al Jadi, the pole-star (Polaris), are still nightly surrounding him in their thirst for vengeance. (Allen).
Influence of the constellation: It is said to give a quiet, prudent, suspicious, mistrustful, self-controlled, patient nature, but an uneasy spirit and great anger when roused. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Zain and the 7th Tarot Trump "The Chariot". (Robson).
General influence of the star: The last star in the Great Bear. Benetnash means 'hired mourners'. If the influence of this star is exercised, an influence of a Mars-Uranus-Saturn nature is present. Experience has shown that many human lives are to be mourned. Reinhold Ebertin made a survey of this fixed star covering centuries when associated with transits of the major planets over this degree. The results have been recorded in the 40th yearbook for Cosmobiological Research 1969. In accordance with adopted belief of ancient times, this fixed star is supposed to be bound up with the realm of the dead and is therefore associated with death and mourning. In an important position in a mundane map, Benetnash will claim human lives in calamities such as mine accidents, collapse of houses and bridges, mountain slides, earth tremors and catastrophes caused by weather. Uranus was in exact conjunction with Benetnash at the end of July 1969. This time was marked with extreme tension between Prague and Moscow, followed later in August by the Russian takeover of the USSR. The Czech reformers in Schwarzau on the Theiss fought for the freedom of their nation on the 30th July with the Russian political bigwigs. The Soviets widened their 'maneuvers' in Poland. (Ebertin).
Alkaid was known as "the destroyer of nations" by Islamic astrologers. (Noonan).
Rising: Those born at the rising of this constellation will be tamers of wild beasts, that is men to teach bears, bulls and lions to lay aside their fierceness and share in human ways. (Manilius Astronomica 1st century AD).
