Aldulfin [epDel], amazing ability to inspire and transmit Aquarian ideals, which serve as a guide when making decisions in life

Aldulfin [Epsilon Delphini, epDel, ε Del] is the 3rd brightest star in the constellation Delphinus (the Dolphin), with a visual magnitude of +4,03. It is located at a distance of 330 light years from the solar system.

The traditional name Aldulfin derives from the Arabic 'Oanab Ad-Dulfīn' or 'Dzaneb al Delphin', which was translated into Latin as 'Cauda Delphini', which means 'the tail of the dolphin'. In China it was known as 敗 瓜 'Bài Guā yī', which means 'the first star of rotten gourd'.

Aldulfin is a white-blue
giant star of spectral type B6III, with a surface temperature of 13600 K. It has a radius 4.6 times greater than the Sun, and a luminosity about 670 times greater. It has a rotation speed of 52 km/s.

Position:
  • Longitude: 314.3º (14º19' Aquarius; semisquare 45º, 0º41' orb)
  • Latitude:  29.1º (29º 4' Aries; (bi)quinvigintile@28º48', 0º16' orb; semisextile 30º [=trine 120º > 0º Capricorn/Virgo], 0º56' orb).
  • Right ascension: 308.3º ( 8º18' 11th House; septile 51º26' [7th ray, white], 0º16' orb)
  • Declination:  11.3º (11º18' 1st House; cuartioctile@11º15', 0º03' orb)

Aldulfin is a star that reminds the quality of the planets Mercury and Neptune. The symbolic image 'the tail of the dolphin' refers to the ability to make decisions (directing the course with the 'tail') based on high ideals ('dolphin'); while 'rotten gourd' refers to the ability to soften inflexible mental postures (gourd is a vegetable with a very hard crust, which softens when rotten).

Aldulfin is related with an amazing ability to inspire others through high vibrations and transmit Aquarian ideals, which serve as a guide when making decisions in life.

It is a system formed by 2 components. Due to its proximity to the ecliptic, it can be occulted by the Moon, and very rarely by planets (Venus occulted it on October 25, 1947).

Photometric observations were carried out in the year
2014 and May 2010.

Position in relation to the ecliptic:

  • Longitude: 225.4º (15º21' Scorpio; sesquicuadrate 135º, 0º21' orb)

Position in relation to the celestial equator:

  • Right ascension: 222.7º (12º43' 8th House; (octa)unvigintile@137º 9', 0º08' orb; golden aspect 137º30', 0º13' orb)
  • Declination: -16.0º (13º57' 12th House; trevigintile@15º39', 0º24' orb)
