Barbiel is one of the twelve angels assigned to zodiac signs in Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy. Book II, chapter 14 places the name in the Scorpio column of the scale of twelve.
Scorpio and October
The table aligns twelve angel names with signs, months and other sets of twelve. Barbiel occupies the eighth position, alongside Scorpio and October. The neighboring angel names are Zuriel and Adnachiel.
This is a correspondence within Agrippa’s occult system. The month row does not mean that the astronomical passage through Scorpio begins and ends with the civil month of October.
A name within a particular table
The chapter supplies a place in a structured catalogue, rather than a personal biography. Similar names occur in other angel lists; their spelling and position need to be checked within each source before combining their roles.
