>Ahriman’s offensive also set the planets against the constellations in a heavenly war in which the planets, described as ‘pregnant with darkness’, fought on Ahriman’s side. The so-called ‘dark Sun and Moon’, seen as responsible for the eclipses, were bound to the ‘chariot’ of the true Sun and Moon and hence were incapable of harm. In the unfolding war, the leader of the constellations, the Pole Star, confronted the planets’ commander, Saturn, as the Great Bear, Vega, Scorpio and Sirius fought respectively Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury
>Scorpio and the Great Bear, seen as the ‘Chieftain of the North’ and a highly beneficent force (free of any of the Sethian-like associations it had in Egypt), defeated their planetary adversaries but the ‘Ahrimanic’ planets also had their victories: Mars and Saturn prevailed in their contests with the Pole Star and Vega, while Mercury and Sirius proved equally matched. Feared thereafter as the planet of death, in Zoroastrian lore Saturn gained the title of ‘he whose aggression reaches far’, whereas Jupiter, having succumbed to the Great Bear, became the planet of life. In the Zoroastrian astrological scheme the death of the Righteous Man was caused by the predominance of Saturn, the death-bringer, placed in Libra, and ‘victorious’ over the life-bringer, Jupiter, weakly positioned in Capricorn
