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.
