Nekkar [beBoo], amazing ability to choose a new strategy or direction to follow

Nekkar [Beta Boötis, beBoo, β Boo] is a star of the constellation Bootes (The Shepherd of Oxen). It is a yellow giant of spectral type G8 III, with a temperature of 4950 K and a radius 19 times greater than the Sun. It has an apparent magnitude of +3.49 and it is at a distance of 225 light years from the Solar System.

Nekkar presents an activity of X-ray emission similar to that of the Sun, despite having a very slow rotation speed. In 1993, an eruption was detected on the surface of the star, which lasted for about ten minutes, with an intensity several times greater than that of a solar eruption. It is the only giant star without partner that shows this behavior. In addition, it is a star rich in barium, and however it was not detected a white dwarf companion to explain it.

Photometric observations were made in April of 1995.

It has a declination of +40º (nonile) and is located at 23º degrees of Libra (+54º of celestial latitude, vigintile).

The name of Nekkar is of Arab origin 'Al Baḳḳār' and means 'driver of oxen', it was used for the whole constellation. In China it was called 'Chaou Yaou' or 'Teaou', terms that mean 'make signs' or 'mobilize', referring to a situation similar to a police officer giving indications about which direction each particular car should move in each turn.
 

"Edge of Tomorrow" (2014)

The quality of the star Nekkar reminds the planets Mercury and Saturn. It is related with an amazing ability to choose a new strategy or direction to follow, after having drawn conclusions from small details of previous attempts experience, like it happens in video games, each time the phase, that has not been overcome, is re-attempted, but trying a different strategy, like in the movies "Groundhog Day" (1993), "Twelve Monkeys" (1995), "50 First Dates" (2004), "Source Code" (2011) "Edge of Tomorrow" (2014) and the video game "Prince of Persia - Warrior Within" (PS2, 2004).

Nekkar-Arcturus combination

Akira Toriyama, author of the manga "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon Ball Z", has Nekkar in Libra in square Uranus in Cancer. Nekkar makes a golden aspect (68.75º) to the Crossing Point of the Age Progressions (Basis Horoscope / Moon Node Horoscope) in Leo.

Rigil Kentaurus, Toliman and Proxima Centauri [alCen], diversity

Rigil Kentaurus [Alfa Centauri, alCen, α Cen] is the brightest star of the constellation Centaurus (The Centaur), with a visual magnitude of 0.00. It is the closest system to Earth, it is located at a distance of 4.37 light years from the solar system.
 
The traditional name Rigil Kentaurus derives from the Arabic رجل القنطورس 'Rijl al-Qanṭūris', which means 'foot of the centaur'; the nameToliman comes from the Arabic 'Al-Ẓulmān', meaning 'the ostriches'; and the name Proxima Centauri derives from Latin and means 'the nearest star of the Centaurus constellation'.

In 1752 it was discovered that it was a binary star, formed by Rigil Kentaurus, a yellow star of G type, very similar to the Sun, and Toliman, an orange star of K type.

In 1915 a third component was discovered at a much greater distance, but gravitationally bound, Proxima Centauri, a red star of spectral type M6 ve, with a visual magnitude of +11.03.

In 2016, an exoplanet of Proxima Centauri, was discovered. It is located in an orbit with favorable conditions for life existence.

It is located at longitude 239.2º (29º10' Scorpio; trine 120º, 0º50' orb), and latitude -21.3º ( 8º45' Pisces; septidecile@21º11', 0º04' orb; golden aspect 21º15' [=golden aspect 68º45' > 0º Capricorn], 0º00' orb).

And at right ascension 219.5º  ( 9º30' 8th House; (noni)trevigintile@140º52', 0º22' orb; (quinvige)octaoctile@140º37', 0º07' orb) and declination -60.7º  (29º16' 10th House; sextile 60º [=trine 120 > 0º 3rd House/7th House], 0º44' orb).

Rigil Kentaurus is a star that reminds the planet Pluto and the centaur Chiron. It is related with the diversity in the development of life, and that is found at all levels: on one hand, the diversity of species, and on the other, the diversity between individuals within the same species.

This type of diversity is formed from the variations that arise when comparing the different elements within a category, for example, the diversity of projects for which an architect has worked; the diversity of films in which an actor or director has worked; or the diversity of dresses that a model has worn.

[Interview with Alessandra Garcia-Lorido, model of plus sizes: "Did you miss a brand like that when you were a teenager? Yes, because in the end I think we are all looking for the same thing: find affordable clothes that fit you well. It is revolutionary, but it is also necessary, I think that there has not been a better time to be a larger model than now, the sector is growing and, thanks to social networks, we have the opportunity to do our own marketing and sell ourselves to that more brands hire us, firms are realizing that they will be better off if they also deal with this market segment. That is to say, it is pure business. Yes. I believe brands can earn more If you are betting on diversity, because your clients are also different, in the end, you can achieve a powerful image using any good mannequin, if they are interesting and they do it well, make a difference, whatever the color of your skin or your size. Creativity should not be limited. Using only one type of model seems very old-fashioned to me. The purpose of fashion should be to expand objectives, teach another type of beauty. "(SModa, September 2016).]

Charles Darwin, biologist who formulated the theory of evolution based on natural selection, has Rigil Kentaurus in Scorpio (12th Moon-Node House), in biseptile with Mercury in Pisces (8th Moon-Node House), and in septile with the second Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope / hMoon-Node Horoscope). At 26 years old, during the 5-year voyage on the Beagle boat, in which he observed the diversity of species and their adaptation to the environment, the Age Progression in the Moon-Node Horoscope formed septiles on both sides of the radix biseptile Mercury-Rigil Kentaurus, and also triseptile with the second Crossing Point of Age Progressions.

James A. Michener, author of the book "Centennial" (1974) - which deals with a fictional town from before its creation, in the plains of northwestern Colorado, until the early 70's, describing its variations over the centuries-- it has Rigil Kentaurus in Scorpio (9th Moon-Node House), in the Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope / Mon-Node Horoscope), in conjunction with Mars.

Me, author of this blog of astrology about stars, trans-Neptunian objects, centaurs, asteroids and minor astrological aspects, I have Rigil Kentaurus in the 12th House (Scorpio), in conjunction with the Moon-Node.

Kochab [beUMi], ability to influence large groups of individuals

Kochab [Beta Ursae Minoris, beUMi, β UMi] is one of the brightest stars of the constellation Ursa Minor (The Little Bear). Its brightness varies periodically with an interval of 4.6 days. It has an apparent magnitude of +2.07 and it is located about 131 light years away.

In 2014, it was discovered within its star system, a planet of about 6 times the mass of Jupiter and with an orbital period of 522 days.

It has a declination of +74º and it is located at 13º degrees of Leo (+73º of celestial latitude).

It is likely that the name Kochab, which appeared during the Renaissance, derives from the Hebrew כוכב 'kōkhāv' or from the ancient Arabic الكوكب 'Al-Kawkab al Shamaliyy', meaning "The North Star".

In Chinese, 北極 (Běi Jí), whose meaning is 'North Pole', refers to a group of stars within the constellation Ursa Minor. Specifically, Kochab is known as 北極 二 (Běi Jí èr), 'Second Star of the North Pole', which represented by 帝 (Dì), means 'Emperor'.

The quality of the star Kochab reminds the planet Saturn and the dwarf planet (136108) Haumea. It is related with the ability to influence large groups of individuals, like in the movies "Avatar" (2009), "How To Train Your Dragon" (2010), "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" (2011), "How To Train Your Dragon 2" (2014), "Divergent" (2014), "Edge of Tomorrow" (2014) and "Jurassic World" (2015).

Barack Obama, president of the United States of America, has Kochab in Leo in conjunction with the Sun (1st Moon-Node House), which is in square with Neptune in Scorpio (10th Moon-Node House).

Great Attractor, time dilation in moments of intense action

The clock rate of a CPU is measured in Hz and represents the number of cycles per second that can perform. It is a fixed amount for each computer.

In contrast, in the human brain, the clock rate varies greatly depending on the moment and the situation. In moments of rest or relaxation, while closing eyes, brain frequency drops (alpha waves); if eyes are open again and movement starts, brain frequency increases again (beta waves).

This is why the clock rate of the brain is related to the perception of time. Newly waked up, the frequency is very low and time flies without noticing it (contraction of time). While waiting at a crossroads of heavy traffic, the brain increases the frequency of brain waves to make time dilate to be able to perform the task with advantage, so that the 3 or 5 minutes of waiting, seem 15 or 20 minutes.

The Great Attractor is related with time dilation in moments of intense action.

Alcyone [etTau], vivacity and perfect expresion of feelings through gestures

Alcyone [Eta Tauri, etTau, η Tau] is a star system in the constellation Taurus. It is the brightest star in the Pleiades open cluster, approximately 400 light years from Earth. It has a high rotational velocity of 215 km/s, which has created a gaseous disk flung into orbit around the star from its equator. Alcyone is an eclipsing binary, orbited by three companions.

It has a declination of +24º (quindecile). It is located at 29º degrees of Taurus (+4º of celestial latitude). 


Mythology

It is named after the mythological figure Alcyone, one of the mythological Pleiades. It is known as 昴宿六 (the Sixth Star of the Hairy Head) in Chinese.

Alcyone is a star whose quality remainds the Moon and Mars. Has a natural speech with shining vivacity, showing perfect expression of feelings through gestures, wich rises popularity up to a standar in society.

Michelle Jenner, dubbing actress for the spanish version of the movie "Las aventuras de Tadeo Jones (Ted: The Lost Explorer)", has Alcyone in trine with Mercury in Virgo.

Michelle Jenner interview (2011)

Selena Gomez, actress of the movie "Getaway" (2013), has Alcyone in Taurus and in the cusp of the 8th Moon-Node House, surrounded by Mars and Juno, in square with the Black Moon axis, and in sextile with the Sun in Cancer and in the cusp of the 6th Moon-Node House.

Tom Cruise, actor of the movies "A Few Good Men" (1992) and "Oblivion" (2013), has Alcyone in Taurus near the Crossing Point of Age Progression (Basis Horoscope / Moon-Node Horoscope) in Gemini. Alycone is in conjunction with Pallas and 2000 YW134.

The Soul Horoscope, Soul intuition and soul mates

The Soul Horoscope (SH), is based on the Galactic Center and the starting point for the Age Progression is the Galactic Node (0º Capricorn). This horoscope complements the other three horoscopes that are used in the Huber method (astro.com / extended chart selection):

1. The House Horoscope (HH), is based on the Earth and the starting point for the Age Progression is the Ascendent.
2. The Moon-Node Horoscope (MNH), is based on the Moon and the starting point for the Age Progression is the North Node, which moves in retrograde direction.
3. The Sign Horoscope or Basis Horoscope (BH), is based on the Sun and the starting point for the Age Progression is the Vernal Point (0º Aries).

"The Galactic Nodes are the points on which the Milky Way intersects with the zodiac (Galactic Ecuador with ecliptic). These nodes are also subject to a precession movement. Curiously, in the year 2000, the ascending node is astrologically at 0º Capricorn." (Bruno Huber, Astroglosary)
