Rigel [beOri], amazing ability to influence and persuade

Rigel [Beta Orionis, beOri, β Ori] is the brightest star in the constellation Orion (the Hunter), with a visual magnitude of +0,18. It is located between about 700 and 900 light years from the solar system.

The traditional name Rigel has two derivations of Arabic:

1. 'Rijl Jauzah al Yusrā', which means 'the left leg-foot of Jauzah'.
2. رجل الجبار 'Riǧl Al-ǧabbār', meaning 'leg-foot of the great one' (in the Alphonsine tables of the thirteenth century, the name was divided into two, giving the form to the current name: 'Rigel' and 'Algebar').

The main component of the system is a blue supergiant of spectral type B8 Ia, with a surface temperature of 11,500 K. It is a very massive star (18 solar masses) and has a luminosity 50,000 times greater than that of the Sun (if considered also the ultraviolet spectrum, its luminosity would be 85,000 times higher than that of the Sun). If it were located in the center of the solar system, its radius would extend to Mercury's orbit.

Two binary stars, separated from each other by about 100 AU and of magnitude +6.7, orbit around Rigel at a distance of about 2500 AU. Besides, a fourth star orbits at a distance of 11500 AU, with a period of about 250,000 years.

It is located in the longitude 77.1º (17º 6' Gemini; semiseptile 77º08' [=biseptile 102º51' > 0º Libra], 0º02' orb), and latitude -31.1º (28º53' Aquarius; (bi)trevigintile@31º18', 0º11' orb; semisextile 30º [=trine 120º > 0º Cancer/Scorpio], 1º07' orb).

And in the right ascension 78.6º (18º38' 3rd House; (penta)trevigintile@78º16', 0º22' orb; (hepta)cuartioctile@78º45', 0º07' orb) and declination  -8.2º (21º48' 12th House).
 

"The Prince of Egipt" (1998)

Rigel is a star that reminds the planets Neptune and Pluto. The symbolic image "the left leg-foot of the great one", refers to a person with the capacity to argue and reason ('left'), with a great influence ('the great one') over a very wide territory ('leg-foot') ), and reminds the political candidates that during election campaigns they give speeches throughout the country, covering even small towns.

Rigel is related with an amazing capacity to influence and persuade, thanks to its high vibrations and the constancy and amplitude of its diffusion.

Julianna Margulies, actress of the TV series "The Good Wife" (2009), has Rigel in Gemini (12th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with the Sun, and in square with Uranus-Pluto in Virgo (9th Moon-Node House).

Liz Green, astrologer and author of astrology books and seminars, has Rigel in Gemini (1st Moon-Node House) in conjunction with the Lunar Node, and in square with Mars in Libra (10th Moon-Node House).

Spica [alVir], inner strength to cope with the difficult moments in life

Spica [Alfa Virginis, alVir, α Vir] is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo. Has an absolute magnitude of +1.04 and it is at 250 light years from Earth. It is a binary system, whose components orbit between them every four days. The tidal forces distort the ellipsoid form, according to the variations of gravitational interaction.The close proximity between them (0.12 AU), also causes the collision of strong stellar winds send out by each one of them, which scatters the light rays and generates intense X-ray The overall brightness is around 12000 times more than the sun. Has a high rotation speed: 199 km/s.

Because of the nearness to the ecliptic (2º), Spica can be hidden by the Moon and sometimes by planets. In November 2009, Venus came very close to Spica (3.5º); the last occultation occurred in November 1783. Between 1966 and 1970, there were important photometric observations.

It has a declination of -11º and it is located at the degree 23º of Libra (-2º of celestial latitude).

The name Spica derives from Latin spica virginis (virgin ear of grain). Due to its separation from the closest stars, in Arabic was called Azimech, السماك الأعزل al simak al a'zal, which meant 'the Undefended'. In Egypt was known as 'the bearer of the Lute'; and in China, as 'the horn' or 'the pointer'.

The quality of the star Spica reminds the planet Jupiter. It is related with the inner strength that allows to cope with the difficult moments in life, overcoming despair with patience and hope. 

In traditional astrology, the quality of the star Spica is associated with the planets Venus and Mars, due to the fact that relationships can overcome couple crisis, reaching maturity and fullness, like in the movies "The Painted Veil" (2006) and "The Longest Ride" (2015).

Nicholas Sparks, author of the book "The Longest Ride" (2013), has Spica in Libra in the 8th Moon-Node House, in trine with Jupiter in Gemini in the 12th Moon-Node House, and in trine with the Black Moon in Aquarius in the 4th Moon-Node House.

Naomi Watts, actress of the movie "The Painted Veil" (2006), has Spica in Libra in the 6th Moon-Node House, in opposition to Saturn in Aries in the 12th Moon-Node House, whom it is in quincunx to Pluto in Virgo in the 7th Moon-Node House, and whom it is in sextile with Neptune in Scorpio in the 5th Moon-Node House.

Polaris [alUMi], ability to work under a lot of pressure

Polaris [Alfa Ursae Minoris, alUMi, α UMi] is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor (The Little Bear). It is a yellow supergiant of spectral type F7Ib-II3, with a luminosity 2440 times greater than that of the Sun and a radius 37 times greater than that of the Sun. It has an apparent magnitude of +1.97 and it is located at 431 light years from the Solar System.

Polaris is a multiple star system with two other stars much smaller. The most distant one, which orbits at about 2400 AU, was discovered in August 1779; while the nearest one, which orbits at about 17 AU, was discovered in 1929.
 

In 1911 it was confirmed that Polaris has complex variations in its brightness, something that was already suspected since 1852. In addition, in 2004 it was shown that its brightness is now 2.5 times higher than during the observations of Potolomy.

It has a declination of +89º (square) and it is located at the degree 28º of Gemini (+66º of celestial latitude).

The modern name of Polaris appeared during the Renaissance era, it is an abbreviation of 'Stella Polaris', which in Latin means 'Polar Star'. 

The quality of the star Polaris reminds to our Sun and the planet Saturn. It is related with the ability to work under a lot of pressure, so that, as far as possible, the ongoing activities can be carried out with relative normality, in spite of the fact that the strain of the situation is extraordinary, like in the movie "Crimson Tide" (1995) and at the end of the movie "The Sum of All Fears" (2002). Also, extraordinary efforts can be done, like at the end of the movie "Jumper" (2008).

"Terminator 5 - Genisys" (2015)

Tracy Marks, author of the book "Planetary Aspects: An Astrological Guide to Managing the T-Square", has Polaris in Gemini on the cusp of the 10th Moon-Node House, in square with the Crossing Points of the Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope / Moon-Node Horoscope), and in trine with Jupiter in Aquarius in the 2nd Moon-Node House.

Keanu Reeves, actor of the movie "Speed" (1994), has Polaris in the Ascendant of the Moon-Node Horoscope (with Saturn in the cusp of the 5th Moon-Node House).

Jeremy Renner, actor of the movie "The Hurt Locker" (2008), has Polaris in Gemini (overlap zone of the 8th-9 th Moon-Node Houses), in opposition to Mercury in Sagittarius (overlap zone of 2nd-3rd Moon-Node Houses), and in quincunx with Jupiter in Scorpio (overlap zone of 3rd-4th Moon-Node Houses).

Akira Toriyama, author of the manga "Dragon Ball" (1984), has Polaris at the Descendant of the Moon-Node Horoscope.

Procyon [alCMi], ability to create a method or system

Procyon [Alfa Canis Minoris, alCMi, α CMi] is the most brilliant star of the constellation Canis Minor, with an apparent magnitude of +0.50. It is located at a distance of 11 light years from Earth. It has a radius twice as large as the sun.

It is a binary subgiant that has begun to expand. His companion is a weak white dwarf located at 15 AU, with an eccentric orbit that ranges from 9 UA to 21 UA (equivalent to the distance of Saturn and Uranus from the Sun). Photometric observations were made in 1979, 1999-2000 and 2004.

It has a declination of +5º and is located at 25º Cancer (-16º of celestial latitude).

The name Procyon derives from the Greek προκύον (Prokyōn), which means "before the Dog" (Syrian was the Star of the Dog). In the Mesopotamian mythology, Procyon was known as Nagar the carpenter, an aspect of Marduk, involved in the construction and organization of the celestial sky.

Procyon is a star that reminds the quality of the planets Saturn and Pluto. It gives the ability to create a method or system.

Bruno Huber, astrologer who created the Huber method, has Procyon in cancer in trine with Venus in Scorpio.

Lev Vygotsky, researcher of developmental psychology and founder of the cultural-historical psychology, has Procyon in Cancer in trine with the Sun, Uranus and Saturn in Scorpio.

Antares [alSco], ability to defeat enemies with honor

Antares [Alfa Scorpii, alSco, α Sco] is the brightest star in the constellation Scorpio, with an apparent magnitude of +1,09. It is a red supergiant situated at approximately 550 light years from Earth. Its luminosity is 10 000 times greater than the sun. Due to its low surface temperature (3600 K), emits quite a lot in the infrared band.

It has a radius 645 times higher than the Sun. If it were located in the center of our solar system, its surface would extend beyond Mars and the asteroid belt (3.4 UA). Its colossal size in comparison with its mass, gives as a result a very low density. In its surface blows a stellar wind that makes the star be wrapped in a cloud of gas.

Size comparison between Antares, Arturo and the Sun.

In 1819, during a lunar occultation, was discovered its companion (although its existence was not confirmed until 1846), a white-blue star, located at 550 UA, wich orbits every 2500 years.

Due to its nearness to the ecliptic, Antares can be occulted by the Moon, (the last occultation occurred on 31 July 2009) and very rarely by Venus (the last occultation occurred in the year 525 BC).

Antares has a declination of -26º and is located at 9º Sagittarius (-5º of celestial latitude).

The name Antares derives from Antar (Antarah ibn Shaddad), the warrior-hero celebrated in the pre-Islamic poems Mu'allagat. There, the courage, heroism and the ethic code of the chivalrous are emphasized. Antares it is also known in Arabic as Kalb to Akrab 'the Heart of Scorpion'. In Persia was called Dharind, 'the one that grabs'.

"The Lucky One" (2011)

Antares is a star that reminds the quality of the planets Mars, Saturn and Neptune. It gives the ability to defeat enemies with honor, respecting the ethics code, like Luck at the end of the movie "Star Wars VI - The Return of the Jedi" (1983) or Daniel-Miyagui at the end of the movie "Karate Kid" (1984).

"Dragon Quest (Fly)" (1989) [Catalan dubbing]

Ralph Macchio, actor of the movie "Karate Kid" (1984), has Antares in Sagittarius in the Crossing Point of the Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope and Moon-Node Horoscope), also in square with Pluto in Virgo.

Zac Efron, actor of the Movie "The Lucky One" (2011), has Antares in Sagittarius in square with the Moon in Virgo, also in semisextile with Pluto-Venus in Scorpio.

Denzel Washington, actor of the movie "Unstoppable" (2010), has Antares in Sagittarius in sextile with the Moon in Aquarius.

Regulus [alLeo], amazing ability to create opportunities related with the projects about to undertake

Regulus [Alfa Leonis, alLeo, α Leo] is the brightest star in the constellation Leo (the Lion), with a visual magnitude of +1,36. It is located at a distance of 79 light years from the solar system.

The name 'Regulus' comes from Latin and means 'prince' or 'young king'. In Arabic it was known as 'Qalb Al Asad' قلب الأسد, which means 'the heart of the lion'. In China it was known as 轩辕 十四, the Fourteenth Star of Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor. In Babylon it was known as 'Sharru', which means 'the king'. In Persia it was known as 'Miyan', which means 'the center' and also as 'Venant', one of the four real stars of the Persian monarchy.

It is part of the group of Behenian stars, a selection of fifteen stars in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world.

Regulus is a blue-white subgigant star of spectral type B8 IV, with a surface temperature of 12460 K. It has a rotation speed of 347 km/s. Its speed of rotation is extremely fast (15.9 hours), due to which has a very ovaloide and a photosphere much more warm and luminous in the poles. It is very close to the limit, if its rotation speed was a 15% faster, the gravity of the star would not be sufficient to contain its material.

It is a multiple system, consisting of 3 components: the main white-blue star, a white dwarf that orbits it, and at 5000 AU another couple, formed by an orange and a red dwarf, separated each other by approximately 100 UA.

Photometric observations were carried out in the years 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2014.

In July of 1959, coinciding with the Walt Disney movie "Sleeping Beauty" (1959), Venus occulted Regulus.

Position in relation to the ecliptic:

• Longitude: 150.1º ( 0º 7' Virgo; quincuncio 150º [=trine 120º > 0º Taurus/Capricorn], 0º07' orb)
• Latitude:   0.5º ( 0º28' Aries; conjunction, 0º28' orb).

Position in relation to the celestial equator:

• Right ascension: 152.1º ( 2º 6' 6th House; (onci)semitrecil@152º18', 0º12' orb)
• Declination:  12.0º (11º58' 1st House; semiquincile@12º, 0º02' orb)

The star Regulus reminds the planets Mars and Jupiter. The symbolic image 'prince' or 'young king' refers to a person with supports and ability to initiate activities that require more courage than usual.

It is related with an amazing ability to create opportunities related with the projects about to undertake, from actions oriented in the same direction, which combine with each other to give the final result.

Tom Cruise, actor of the movies "A Few Good Men" (1992) and "Minority Report" (2002), has Regulus in conjunction with Uranus in Leo (12th Moon-Node House), wich is in square with Mars and Pallas in Taurus (3rd Moon-Node House).

Sam Worthington, actor of the movies "Avatar" (2009) and "Man on a Ledge" (2012), has Regulus in conjunction with Mercury in Leo (3rd Moon-Node House), wich is in square to Jupiter in Taurus (6th Moon-Node House).
