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.
