Fixed stars in astrology

Encyclopedia of 99 fixed stars

Fixed (immovable) stars are the oldest layer of astrological tradition, rooted in Ptolemy and Arab astronomers. Unlike planets, stars are almost motionless in the sky and form a constant stellar backdrop through which planets move over a lifetime.

This portal collects articles on 99 fixed stars — with analysis of their mythology, classical interpretation, and real manifestations in the natal charts of famous people, historical events, and countries.

By classical groups

Three established canons — the Royal Watchers of the Four Corners, the 15 Behenian stars of medieval magic, and the stars whose nature was described by Ptolemy in the Tetrabiblos.

By planetary nature

A star's nature according to Ptolemy indicates which planet its astrological influence resembles. Most stars have a dual nature (e.g., Algol — Saturn + Jupiter).
