Fomalhault [alPsA], amazing ability to tune in with the universe in a practically way

Fomalhaut [Alfa Piscis Austrini, alPsA, α PsA] is the brightest star in the constellation Piscis Austrinus (the Southern Fish), with a visual magnitude of +1,17. It is located at a distance of 25 light years from the solar system. 

The name Fomalhaut comes from the Arabic فم الحوت, 'Fum Al-ħūt', and means 'the mouth of the fish (or whale)'. 

It is a white star with a diameter 1.7 times larger than the Sun and a luminosity 18 times greater than that the Sun.

Fomalhaut is surrounded by a disk of dust with a very sharp inside edge at a radial distance of 133 AU. The dust is distributed in a belt of 25 UA wide, with the geometric center of the disc displaced around 15 AU from Fomalhaut. In November 2008 it was announced the discovery of an extrasolar planet, called Dagon, that orbits in the inner boundary of the stellar ring. It was the first extrasolar planet observed in the visible spectrum, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope.

It is located in the longitude 334.1º ( 4º 8' Pisces; semiseptile 25º43 [=triseptile 154º17' > 0º Libra], 0º09' orb), and latitude -21.1º ( 8º51' Pisces; septidecile@21º11', 0º02' orb; golden aspect 21º15' [=golden aspect 68º45' > 0º Capricorn], 0º06' orb).

And in the right ascension 344.4º (14º25' 12th House; trevigintile@15º39', 0º04' orb) and declination -29.6º ( 0º23' 12th House; semisextile 30º [=trine 120º > 0º Cancer/Scorpio], 0º23' orb).

Fomalhaut is a star that reminds the quality of the planets Mercury, Venus and Neptune. The symbolic image 'the mouth of the fish' refers to the ability to move fluidly ('fish') receiving what the universe offers ('water', 'open mouth').

Fomalhaut is related with an amazing ability to modify the state of consciousness in the everyday life and tune in with the universe in a practically way.

Rhonda Byrne, author of the documentary "The Secret" (2006), has Fomalhaut in Piscis (5th Moon-Node House), in opposition to the Sun in Virgo (11th Moon-Node House). The publication of the documentary "The Secret" (2006), clashed with the passing of the Age Point by its Sun in the Moon-Node Horoscope.

Eltanin [gaDra], intuitive understanding of the physical universe and its natural laws

Eltanin [Gamma Draconis, gaDra, γ Dra] is the brightest star in the constellation of the Dragon. It is a giant orange, located in the head of the constellation. Has an apparent magnitude of +2,24 and it is located at 148 light-years away from the Solar System, but it comes toward us; so that, within 1.5 million years ago, it will be just 28 light years far and then it will be, along with Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. Its radius is 50 times larger than that of the Sun and its luminosity is 600 times greater than that of the Sun.

In 1728, James Bradley, while trying to measure the parallax of this star, discovered the aberration of light caused by the speed of the motion of the Earth in relation to the speed of light coming from the stars. This discovery proved the Copernican theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun.

It has a declination of +51º (septile) and it is located at the degree 27º of Sagittarius (+75º of celestial latitude).

The name Eltanin comes from Arabic Al Rās al Tinnīn, whose meaning is "snake".
 

Eltanin is related with intuitive understanding of the physical universe and its natural laws, through extrasensory perception.

Albert Einstein, which formulated the Theory of Relativity, has Eltanin in Sagittarius and in the 6th House. In the House Horoscope forms a square with Uranus in the 3rd House.

Edgar Cayce, seer who performed physical and spiritual readings in a state of deep trance, has Eltanin in Sagittarius and in the cusp of the 5th House. In the Signs Horoscope forms a trine with Chiron in Aries, while in the House Horoscope forms a triseptile with Pluto in the cusp of the 10th House.

Arcturus [alBoo], devote to a task until it is completely mastered

Arcturus devotes to a task until it is completely mastered, like in the movies "Groundhog Day" (1993), "50 First Dates" (2004), "Source Code" (2011) "Edge of Tomorrow" (2014) and the video game "Prince of Persia - Warrior Within" (PS2, 2004).

An experience and understanding so deep in a given subject, makes possible for Arcturus to transmit its knowledge, explaining amazingly.

Rigel [beOri], amazing ability to influence and persuade

Rigel [Beta Orionis, beOri, β Ori] is the brightest star in the constellation Orion (the Hunter), with a visual magnitude of +0,18. It is located between about 700 and 900 light years from the solar system.

The traditional name Rigel has two derivations of Arabic:

1. 'Rijl Jauzah al Yusrā', which means 'the left leg-foot of Jauzah'.
2. رجل الجبار 'Riǧl Al-ǧabbār', meaning 'leg-foot of the great one' (in the Alphonsine tables of the thirteenth century, the name was divided into two, giving the form to the current name: 'Rigel' and 'Algebar').

The main component of the system is a blue supergiant of spectral type B8 Ia, with a surface temperature of 11,500 K. It is a very massive star (18 solar masses) and has a luminosity 50,000 times greater than that of the Sun (if considered also the ultraviolet spectrum, its luminosity would be 85,000 times higher than that of the Sun). If it were located in the center of the solar system, its radius would extend to Mercury's orbit.

Two binary stars, separated from each other by about 100 AU and of magnitude +6.7, orbit around Rigel at a distance of about 2500 AU. Besides, a fourth star orbits at a distance of 11500 AU, with a period of about 250,000 years.

It is located in the longitude 77.1º (17º 6' Gemini; semiseptile 77º08' [=biseptile 102º51' > 0º Libra], 0º02' orb), and latitude -31.1º (28º53' Aquarius; (bi)trevigintile@31º18', 0º11' orb; semisextile 30º [=trine 120º > 0º Cancer/Scorpio], 1º07' orb).

And in the right ascension 78.6º (18º38' 3rd House; (penta)trevigintile@78º16', 0º22' orb; (hepta)cuartioctile@78º45', 0º07' orb) and declination  -8.2º (21º48' 12th House).
 

"The Prince of Egipt" (1998)

Rigel is a star that reminds the planets Neptune and Pluto. The symbolic image "the left leg-foot of the great one", refers to a person with the capacity to argue and reason ('left'), with a great influence ('the great one') over a very wide territory ('leg-foot') ), and reminds the political candidates that during election campaigns they give speeches throughout the country, covering even small towns.

Rigel is related with an amazing capacity to influence and persuade, thanks to its high vibrations and the constancy and amplitude of its diffusion.

Julianna Margulies, actress of the TV series "The Good Wife" (2009), has Rigel in Gemini (12th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with the Sun, and in square with Uranus-Pluto in Virgo (9th Moon-Node House).

Liz Green, astrologer and author of astrology books and seminars, has Rigel in Gemini (1st Moon-Node House) in conjunction with the Lunar Node, and in square with Mars in Libra (10th Moon-Node House).

Spica [alVir], inner strength to cope with the difficult moments in life

Spica [Alfa Virginis, alVir, α Vir] is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo. Has an absolute magnitude of +1.04 and it is at 250 light years from Earth. It is a binary system, whose components orbit between them every four days. The tidal forces distort the ellipsoid form, according to the variations of gravitational interaction.The close proximity between them (0.12 AU), also causes the collision of strong stellar winds send out by each one of them, which scatters the light rays and generates intense X-ray The overall brightness is around 12000 times more than the sun. Has a high rotation speed: 199 km/s.

Because of the nearness to the ecliptic (2º), Spica can be hidden by the Moon and sometimes by planets. In November 2009, Venus came very close to Spica (3.5º); the last occultation occurred in November 1783. Between 1966 and 1970, there were important photometric observations.

It has a declination of -11º and it is located at the degree 23º of Libra (-2º of celestial latitude).

The name Spica derives from Latin spica virginis (virgin ear of grain). Due to its separation from the closest stars, in Arabic was called Azimech, السماك الأعزل al simak al a'zal, which meant 'the Undefended'. In Egypt was known as 'the bearer of the Lute'; and in China, as 'the horn' or 'the pointer'.

The quality of the star Spica reminds the planet Jupiter. It is related with the inner strength that allows to cope with the difficult moments in life, overcoming despair with patience and hope. 

In traditional astrology, the quality of the star Spica is associated with the planets Venus and Mars, due to the fact that relationships can overcome couple crisis, reaching maturity and fullness, like in the movies "The Painted Veil" (2006) and "The Longest Ride" (2015).

Nicholas Sparks, author of the book "The Longest Ride" (2013), has Spica in Libra in the 8th Moon-Node House, in trine with Jupiter in Gemini in the 12th Moon-Node House, and in trine with the Black Moon in Aquarius in the 4th Moon-Node House.

Naomi Watts, actress of the movie "The Painted Veil" (2006), has Spica in Libra in the 6th Moon-Node House, in opposition to Saturn in Aries in the 12th Moon-Node House, whom it is in quincunx to Pluto in Virgo in the 7th Moon-Node House, and whom it is in sextile with Neptune in Scorpio in the 5th Moon-Node House.

Polaris [alUMi], ability to work under a lot of pressure

Polaris [Alfa Ursae Minoris, alUMi, α UMi] is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor (The Little Bear). It is a yellow supergiant of spectral type F7Ib-II3, with a luminosity 2440 times greater than that of the Sun and a radius 37 times greater than that of the Sun. It has an apparent magnitude of +1.97 and it is located at 431 light years from the Solar System.

Polaris is a multiple star system with two other stars much smaller. The most distant one, which orbits at about 2400 AU, was discovered in August 1779; while the nearest one, which orbits at about 17 AU, was discovered in 1929.
 

In 1911 it was confirmed that Polaris has complex variations in its brightness, something that was already suspected since 1852. In addition, in 2004 it was shown that its brightness is now 2.5 times higher than during the observations of Potolomy.

It has a declination of +89º (square) and it is located at the degree 28º of Gemini (+66º of celestial latitude).

The modern name of Polaris appeared during the Renaissance era, it is an abbreviation of 'Stella Polaris', which in Latin means 'Polar Star'. 

The quality of the star Polaris reminds to our Sun and the planet Saturn. It is related with the ability to work under a lot of pressure, so that, as far as possible, the ongoing activities can be carried out with relative normality, in spite of the fact that the strain of the situation is extraordinary, like in the movie "Crimson Tide" (1995) and at the end of the movie "The Sum of All Fears" (2002). Also, extraordinary efforts can be done, like at the end of the movie "Jumper" (2008).

"Terminator 5 - Genisys" (2015)

Tracy Marks, author of the book "Planetary Aspects: An Astrological Guide to Managing the T-Square", has Polaris in Gemini on the cusp of the 10th Moon-Node House, in square with the Crossing Points of the Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope / Moon-Node Horoscope), and in trine with Jupiter in Aquarius in the 2nd Moon-Node House.

Keanu Reeves, actor of the movie "Speed" (1994), has Polaris in the Ascendant of the Moon-Node Horoscope (with Saturn in the cusp of the 5th Moon-Node House).

Jeremy Renner, actor of the movie "The Hurt Locker" (2008), has Polaris in Gemini (overlap zone of the 8th-9 th Moon-Node Houses), in opposition to Mercury in Sagittarius (overlap zone of 2nd-3rd Moon-Node Houses), and in quincunx with Jupiter in Scorpio (overlap zone of 3rd-4th Moon-Node Houses).

Akira Toriyama, author of the manga "Dragon Ball" (1984), has Polaris at the Descendant of the Moon-Node Horoscope.

Procyon [alCMi], ability to create a method or system

Procyon [Alfa Canis Minoris, alCMi, α CMi] is the most brilliant star of the constellation Canis Minor, with an apparent magnitude of +0.50. It is located at a distance of 11 light years from Earth. It has a radius twice as large as the sun.

It is a binary subgiant that has begun to expand. His companion is a weak white dwarf located at 15 AU, with an eccentric orbit that ranges from 9 UA to 21 UA (equivalent to the distance of Saturn and Uranus from the Sun). Photometric observations were made in 1979, 1999-2000 and 2004.

It has a declination of +5º and is located at 25º Cancer (-16º of celestial latitude).

The name Procyon derives from the Greek προκύον (Prokyōn), which means "before the Dog" (Syrian was the Star of the Dog). In the Mesopotamian mythology, Procyon was known as Nagar the carpenter, an aspect of Marduk, involved in the construction and organization of the celestial sky.

Procyon is a star that reminds the quality of the planets Saturn and Pluto. It gives the ability to create a method or system.

Bruno Huber, astrologer who created the Huber method, has Procyon in cancer in trine with Venus in Scorpio.

Lev Vygotsky, researcher of developmental psychology and founder of the cultural-historical psychology, has Procyon in Cancer in trine with the Sun, Uranus and Saturn in Scorpio.

Antares [alSco], ability to defeat enemies with honor

Antares [Alfa Scorpii, alSco, α Sco] is the brightest star in the constellation Scorpio, with an apparent magnitude of +1,09. It is a red supergiant situated at approximately 550 light years from Earth. Its luminosity is 10 000 times greater than the sun. Due to its low surface temperature (3600 K), emits quite a lot in the infrared band.

It has a radius 645 times higher than the Sun. If it were located in the center of our solar system, its surface would extend beyond Mars and the asteroid belt (3.4 UA). Its colossal size in comparison with its mass, gives as a result a very low density. In its surface blows a stellar wind that makes the star be wrapped in a cloud of gas.

Size comparison between Antares, Arturo and the Sun.

In 1819, during a lunar occultation, was discovered its companion (although its existence was not confirmed until 1846), a white-blue star, located at 550 UA, wich orbits every 2500 years.

Due to its nearness to the ecliptic, Antares can be occulted by the Moon, (the last occultation occurred on 31 July 2009) and very rarely by Venus (the last occultation occurred in the year 525 BC).

Antares has a declination of -26º and is located at 9º Sagittarius (-5º of celestial latitude).

The name Antares derives from Antar (Antarah ibn Shaddad), the warrior-hero celebrated in the pre-Islamic poems Mu'allagat. There, the courage, heroism and the ethic code of the chivalrous are emphasized. Antares it is also known in Arabic as Kalb to Akrab 'the Heart of Scorpion'. In Persia was called Dharind, 'the one that grabs'.

"The Lucky One" (2011)

Antares is a star that reminds the quality of the planets Mars, Saturn and Neptune. It gives the ability to defeat enemies with honor, respecting the ethics code, like Luck at the end of the movie "Star Wars VI - The Return of the Jedi" (1983) or Daniel-Miyagui at the end of the movie "Karate Kid" (1984).

"Dragon Quest (Fly)" (1989) [Catalan dubbing]

Ralph Macchio, actor of the movie "Karate Kid" (1984), has Antares in Sagittarius in the Crossing Point of the Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope and Moon-Node Horoscope), also in square with Pluto in Virgo.

Zac Efron, actor of the Movie "The Lucky One" (2011), has Antares in Sagittarius in square with the Moon in Virgo, also in semisextile with Pluto-Venus in Scorpio.

Denzel Washington, actor of the movie "Unstoppable" (2010), has Antares in Sagittarius in sextile with the Moon in Aquarius.

Regulus [alLeo], amazing ability to create opportunities related with the projects about to undertake

Regulus [Alfa Leonis, alLeo, α Leo] is the brightest star in the constellation Leo (the Lion), with a visual magnitude of +1,36. It is located at a distance of 79 light years from the solar system.

The name 'Regulus' comes from Latin and means 'prince' or 'young king'. In Arabic it was known as 'Qalb Al Asad' قلب الأسد, which means 'the heart of the lion'. In China it was known as 轩辕 十四, the Fourteenth Star of Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor. In Babylon it was known as 'Sharru', which means 'the king'. In Persia it was known as 'Miyan', which means 'the center' and also as 'Venant', one of the four real stars of the Persian monarchy.

It is part of the group of Behenian stars, a selection of fifteen stars in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world.

Regulus is a blue-white subgigant star of spectral type B8 IV, with a surface temperature of 12460 K. It has a rotation speed of 347 km/s. Its speed of rotation is extremely fast (15.9 hours), due to which has a very ovaloide and a photosphere much more warm and luminous in the poles. It is very close to the limit, if its rotation speed was a 15% faster, the gravity of the star would not be sufficient to contain its material.

It is a multiple system, consisting of 3 components: the main white-blue star, a white dwarf that orbits it, and at 5000 AU another couple, formed by an orange and a red dwarf, separated each other by approximately 100 UA.

Photometric observations were carried out in the years 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2014.

In July of 1959, coinciding with the Walt Disney movie "Sleeping Beauty" (1959), Venus occulted Regulus.

Position in relation to the ecliptic:

• Longitude: 150.1º ( 0º 7' Virgo; quincuncio 150º [=trine 120º > 0º Taurus/Capricorn], 0º07' orb)
• Latitude:   0.5º ( 0º28' Aries; conjunction, 0º28' orb).

Position in relation to the celestial equator:

• Right ascension: 152.1º ( 2º 6' 6th House; (onci)semitrecil@152º18', 0º12' orb)
• Declination:  12.0º (11º58' 1st House; semiquincile@12º, 0º02' orb)

The star Regulus reminds the planets Mars and Jupiter. The symbolic image 'prince' or 'young king' refers to a person with supports and ability to initiate activities that require more courage than usual.

Toruk Makto

It is related with an amazing ability to create opportunities related with the projects about to undertake, from actions oriented in the same direction, which combine with each other to give the final result.

Tom Cruise, actor of the movies "A Few Good Men" (1992) and "Minority Report" (2002), has Regulus in conjunction with Uranus in Leo (12th Moon-Node House), wich is in square with Mars and Pallas in Taurus (3rd Moon-Node House).

Sam Worthington, actor of the movies "Avatar" (2009) and "Man on a Ledge" (2012), has Regulus in conjunction with Mercury in Leo (3rd Moon-Node House), wich is in square to Jupiter in Taurus (6th Moon-Node House).

Nekkar [beBoo], amazing ability to choose a new strategy or direction to follow

Nekkar [Beta Boötis, beBoo, β Boo] is a star of the constellation Bootes (The Shepherd of Oxen). It is a yellow giant of spectral type G8 III, with a temperature of 4950 K and a radius 19 times greater than the Sun. It has an apparent magnitude of +3.49 and it is at a distance of 225 light years from the Solar System.

Nekkar presents an activity of X-ray emission similar to that of the Sun, despite having a very slow rotation speed. In 1993, an eruption was detected on the surface of the star, which lasted for about ten minutes, with an intensity several times greater than that of a solar eruption. It is the only giant star without partner that shows this behavior. In addition, it is a star rich in barium, and however it was not detected a white dwarf companion to explain it.

Photometric observations were made in April of 1995.

It has a declination of +40º (nonile) and is located at 23º degrees of Libra (+54º of celestial latitude, vigintile).

The name of Nekkar is of Arab origin 'Al Baḳḳār' and means 'driver of oxen', it was used for the whole constellation. In China it was called 'Chaou Yaou' or 'Teaou', terms that mean 'make signs' or 'mobilize', referring to a situation similar to a police officer giving indications about which direction each particular car should move in each turn.
 

"Edge of Tomorrow" (2014)

The quality of the star Nekkar reminds the planets Mercury and Saturn. It is related with an amazing ability to choose a new strategy or direction to follow, after having drawn conclusions from small details of previous attempts experience, like it happens in video games, each time the phase, that has not been overcome, is re-attempted, but trying a different strategy, like in the movies "Groundhog Day" (1993), "Twelve Monkeys" (1995), "50 First Dates" (2004), "Source Code" (2011) "Edge of Tomorrow" (2014) and the video game "Prince of Persia - Warrior Within" (PS2, 2004).

"Time Shift" (PS3, 2007)

Nekkar-Arcturus combination

Akira Toriyama, author of the manga "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon Ball Z", has Nekkar in Libra in square Uranus in Cancer. Nekkar makes a golden aspect (68.75º) to the Crossing Point of the Age Progressions (Basis Horoscope / Moon Node Horoscope) in Leo.

Rigil Kentaurus, Toliman and Proxima Centauri [alCen], diversity

Rigil Kentaurus [Alfa Centauri, alCen, α Cen] is the brightest star of the constellation Centaurus (The Centaur), with a visual magnitude of 0.00. It is the closest system to Earth, it is located at a distance of 4.37 light years from the solar system.
 
The traditional name Rigil Kentaurus derives from the Arabic رجل القنطورس 'Rijl al-Qanṭūris', which means 'foot of the centaur'; the nameToliman comes from the Arabic 'Al-Ẓulmān', meaning 'the ostriches'; and the name Proxima Centauri derives from Latin and means 'the nearest star of the Centaurus constellation'.

In 1752 it was discovered that it was a binary star, formed by Rigil Kentaurus, a yellow star of G type, very similar to the Sun, and Toliman, an orange star of K type.

In 1915 a third component was discovered at a much greater distance, but gravitationally bound, Proxima Centauri, a red star of spectral type M6 ve, with a visual magnitude of +11.03.

In 2016, an exoplanet of Proxima Centauri, was discovered. It is located in an orbit with favorable conditions for life existence.

It is located at longitude 239.2º (29º10' Scorpio; trine 120º, 0º50' orb), and latitude -21.3º ( 8º45' Pisces; septidecile@21º11', 0º04' orb; golden aspect 21º15' [=golden aspect 68º45' > 0º Capricorn], 0º00' orb).

And at right ascension 219.5º  ( 9º30' 8th House; (noni)trevigintile@140º52', 0º22' orb; (quinvige)octaoctile@140º37', 0º07' orb) and declination -60.7º  (29º16' 10th House; sextile 60º [=trine 120 > 0º 3rd House/7th House], 0º44' orb).

Rigil Kentaurus is a star that reminds the planet Pluto and the centaur Chiron. It is related with the diversity in the development of life, and that is found at all levels: on one hand, the diversity of species, and on the other, the diversity between individuals within the same species.

This type of diversity is formed from the variations that arise when comparing the different elements within a category, for example, the diversity of projects for which an architect has worked; the diversity of films in which an actor or director has worked; or the diversity of dresses that a model has worn.

[Interview with Alessandra Garcia-Lorido, model of plus sizes: "Did you miss a brand like that when you were a teenager? Yes, because in the end I think we are all looking for the same thing: find affordable clothes that fit you well. It is revolutionary, but it is also necessary, I think that there has not been a better time to be a larger model than now, the sector is growing and, thanks to social networks, we have the opportunity to do our own marketing and sell ourselves to that more brands hire us, firms are realizing that they will be better off if they also deal with this market segment. That is to say, it is pure business. Yes. I believe brands can earn more If you are betting on diversity, because your clients are also different, in the end, you can achieve a powerful image using any good mannequin, if they are interesting and they do it well, make a difference, whatever the color of your skin or your size. Creativity should not be limited. Using only one type of model seems very old-fashioned to me. The purpose of fashion should be to expand objectives, teach another type of beauty. "(SModa, September 2016).]

Charles Darwin, biologist who formulated the theory of evolution based on natural selection, has Rigil Kentaurus in Scorpio (12th Moon-Node House), in biseptile with Mercury in Pisces (8th Moon-Node House), and in septile with the second Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope / hMoon-Node Horoscope). At 26 years old, during the 5-year voyage on the Beagle boat, in which he observed the diversity of species and their adaptation to the environment, the Age Progression in the Moon-Node Horoscope formed septiles on both sides of the radix biseptile Mercury-Rigil Kentaurus, and also triseptile with the second Crossing Point of Age Progressions.

James A. Michener, author of the book "Centennial" (1974) - which deals with a fictional town from before its creation, in the plains of northwestern Colorado, until the early 70's, describing its variations over the centuries-- it has Rigil Kentaurus in Scorpio (9th Moon-Node House), in the Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope / Mon-Node Horoscope), in conjunction with Mars.

Me, author of this blog of astrology about stars, trans-Neptunian objects, centaurs, asteroids and minor astrological aspects, I have Rigil Kentaurus in the 12th House (Scorpio), in conjunction with the Moon-Node.

Kochab [beUMi], ability to influence large groups of individuals

Kochab [Beta Ursae Minoris, beUMi, β UMi] is one of the brightest stars of the constellation Ursa Minor (The Little Bear). Its brightness varies periodically with an interval of 4.6 days. It has an apparent magnitude of +2.07 and it is located about 131 light years away.

In 2014, it was discovered within its star system, a planet of about 6 times the mass of Jupiter and with an orbital period of 522 days.

It has a declination of +74º and it is located at 13º degrees of Leo (+73º of celestial latitude).

It is likely that the name Kochab, which appeared during the Renaissance, derives from the Hebrew כוכב 'kōkhāv' or from the ancient Arabic الكوكب 'Al-Kawkab al Shamaliyy', meaning "The North Star".

In Chinese, 北極 (Běi Jí), whose meaning is 'North Pole', refers to a group of stars within the constellation Ursa Minor. Specifically, Kochab is known as 北極 二 (Běi Jí èr), 'Second Star of the North Pole', which represented by 帝 (Dì), means 'Emperor'.

The quality of the star Kochab reminds the planet Saturn and the dwarf planet (136108) Haumea. It is related with the ability to influence large groups of individuals, like in the movies "Avatar" (2009), "How To Train Your Dragon" (2010), "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (2011), "How To Train Your Dragon 2" (2014), "Divergent" (2014), "Edge of Tomorrow" (2014) and "Jurassic World" (2015).

Barack Obama, president of the United States of America, has Kochab in Leo in conjunction with the Sun (1st Moon-Node House), which is in square with Neptune in Scorpio (10th Moon-Node House).
