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.
