Fixed stars

They are grouped in Constellations and are found in the 12 signs of the Zodiac. It would take too long to mention the more than 700 Fixed Stars that exist, but we will talk about the more famous ones and their meanings.

Their influence is stronger and more direct than the Planets’. They could bring fame and fortune overnight, but accidents and death cannot be ruled out either. They give strength to the planets, their magnitude and their position in relation to the ecliptic will decide how much power they get.

Ptolemy was the first one to document their positions. Vivian Robson in 1923 wrote “Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology”. John Frawley and Bernadette Brady are today the leading specialists on this very topic.
