Capella [alAur], amazing ability to perform physical activity intelligently

Capella [Alfa Aurigae, alAur, α Aur] is the brightest star in the constellation Auriga (the Charioteer), with a visual magnitude of +0,08. It is located at a distance of 43 light years from the solar system.

The traditional name 'Capella' comes from Latin and means 'goat (small or young)', and is the origin of the Roman myth of the goat Amalthea that suckled Zeus. In Arabic it was known as 'Alhajoth', which means 'the goat', and also 'Al Rakib', which means 'the driver', because in the sunsets, during the twilight lights, it was the first star to be seen, of all those around her. In Ancient Mesopotamia it was known as 'Dil-gan I-ku', which means 'the messenger of light', as well as 'Dil-gan Babill', which means 'the honorific star of Babylon'. In Hindu mythology, Capella symbolized the heart of Brahmā: 'Brahma Ridaya'
.

Capella is a orange bright gigant star of spectral type K0 III, with a surface temperature of 4970 K.


It is a system formed by 2 components (Aa, K0 III; Ab, G3 III), which are orbited by two others (H, M2 V; L, M4), much smaller.

Photometric observations were carried out in the years 1896-1897, 1899, 1914, 1919-1920, 1936, 1962-1963, 1974-1975, 1984, 1994-1995, 2003, 2011 y 2015.

Position in relation to the ecliptic:

  • Longitude:  82.1º (22º 8' Gemini)
  • Latitude:  22.9º (22º52' Aries; semioctile 22º30', 0º22' orb).

Position in relation to the celestial equator:

  • Right ascension:  79.2º (19º10' 3rd House; (hepta)cuartioctile@78º45', 0º25' orb; binovile 80º, 0º50' orb)
  • Declination:  46.0º (16º 0' 2nd House; semisquare 45º, 1º00' orb)

Capella is a star that reminds the quality of the planets Mercury and Mars, and also the astronomical centaurs. The symbolic image 'small or young goat' refers to the ingenuity and versatility with which it goes through all kinds of steep terrains (full of rocks, and with steep slopes or strong unevenness, making it difficult to access).

Capella is related with an amazing ability to perform physical activity intelligently.

"Braveheart" (1995)

"Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011)

Chris Evans, actor of the movie "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011), has Capella in Gemini (2nd Moon-Node House), in trine with Pluto-Juno (9th Moon-Node House); and in conjunction with the Sun, which is in opposition to Neptune.

Mel Gibson, actor of the movie "Braveheart" (1995), has Capella in Gemini (6th Moon-Node House), in opposition to the Black Moon-Juno in Sagittarius (12th Moon-Node House); and in quincunx with Pallas in Capricorn (11th Moon-Node House).

Tureis [rhPup], amazing capacity to advance in the direction of personal ideals

Tureis [Rho Puppis, rhPup, ρ Pup] is the 2nd brightest star in the constellation Puppis (the Stern), with a visual magnitude of +2.83.

The name Tureis derives from the Arabic and refers to the logo, small shield or ornate aplustre in the stern of the boats.

It is located at a distance of 63 light years from the solar system. It has a surface temperature of 6920 K. The metallicity of Tureis is more than twice that of the Sun. This star also emits very high levels of infrared radiation, which suggests the existence of a disk of dust orbiting the star, probably at about 50 AU.

In 1956 its variability was verified by observations taken after 1946. Photometric observations were also carried out in September 1991, November 1997, January 2005, June 2009, February 2012 and February 2017.

It is located in the longitude 131.7º (11º40' Leo; cuadrioncile 130º55', orb 0º45 '), and latitude -43.3º (16º44' Aquarius; (tri)quinvigintil@43º12', orb 0º04').

And in the right ascension 121.9º (1º53' 5th House, trine 120º, orb 1º53') and declination -24.3º (5º42' 12th House, quindecile 24º, orb 0º18').


The star Tureis remembers the Sun and the Moon. It is related with an amazing capacity to advance in the direction of personal ideals, taking concrete and coherent steps in daily life, instead of simply formulating personal goals.
 


Ryan Reynolds, actor of the movies "Just Friends" (2005) and "The Proposition" (2009), has Tureis in Leo (3rd Moon-Node House), in trine with Neptune in Sagittarius (11 th Moon-Node-House), and in sextile with Pluto (1st Moon-Node House).

Vindemiatrix [epVir], amazing ability to form groups and teams

Vindemiatrix [Epsilon Virginis, epVir, ε Vir] is the 4th brightest star in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden), with a visual magnitude of +2,85. It is located 110 light years from the solar system.
 

The name Vindemiatrix means in Latin 'the grape harvester', its early morning departure at the end of August marked the time to start the grape harvest.

Vindemiatrix is a yellow giant of spectral type G8III1 with a surface temperature of 5040 K. It has a luminosity 83 times greater than that of the Sun and its radius is 11.4 times larger. It is an important source of X-rays, which implies a great magnetic activity on its surface.

Photometric observations were carried out in January 2011.

It is located in the longitude 190.2º (10º12' Libra; quartinovile@10º, 0º12' orb), and latitude  16.2º (16º12' Aries; trevigintile@15º39', 0º33' orb).

And in the right ascension 195.5º (15º33' 7th House) and declination  11.0º (10º58' 1st House; cuartioctile@11º15', 0º17' orb)
.
 


Vindemiatrix is a star that reminds the quality of the planets Venus and Saturn. The symbolic image of the 'bunch of grapes' and 'the grape harvester' refers to a set of receptive elements, which together form a unit.

Vindemiatrix is related to an amazing ability to form groups and teams, like in the movies "Inception" (2010), "Money Ball" (2011) and "A place to dream" (2011), or when a new company is created, like in the movie "The Company Men" (2010) and the TV series "Centennial" (1979).

Clint Eastwood, actor of the movie "Trouble with the Curve" (2012), has Vindemiatrix in Libra (7th Moon-Node House) in trine with the Sun in Gemini (11th Moon-Node House), and in square with Venus in Cancer (10th Moon-Node House). During the filming of the movie "Trouble with the Curve" (2012), the Age Point was in opposition to Vindemiatrix in the Moon-Node Horoscope.

Justin Timberlake, actor of the movie "Trouble with the Curve" (2012), has Vindemiatrix in Libra (11th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with Jupiter-Saturn, which are in trine with the Sun in Aquarius (7th Moon-Node House).
