Lesath is a star that reminds the planets Mars and Saturn, and also the Kuiper belt. The symbolic image 'sting' and 'bite of a poisonous animal or insect' refers to the ability to cause physical or psychological injury.
Lesath is related with attacks or revenge, which are shocking because they exploit karmic vulnerabilities.

However, Lesath is also related with an amazing ability to defend against this type of attacks or revenge, especially when there is no karmic vulnerability, like for example, with the fourth plane of 9/11 that was heading towards United States Capitol and that did not achieve its objective, because crew and passengers confronted the terrorists and managed to reduce them.
Justin Timberlake, actor of the movie "The Social Network" (2010) and "Friends With Benefits" (2011), has Lesath in Sagittarius (8th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with Neptune-Moon; and in sextile with Pluto, which is in conjunction with the Black Moon, in square with Venus in Capricorn (7th Moon-Node House), and in trine with Mars in Aquarius (6th Moon-Node House).
