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).
