Rob Tillett, the author of this article, is a poet, astrologer and musician. As well as being a magician, healer,
dramatist and composer, he is the editor and publisher of Astrology on the Web and has written many of the
articles on this website.

This article examines the influence of the Fixed Stars, with a comprehensive table of their year 2000 (& 2010)
position and the character of their effects.

Constellations

The Fixed Stars were so called by the ancients to distinguish them from the Planets, or Wanderers, which are
heavenly bodies moving perceptibly across the sphere of the Zodiac. Fixed Stars do not move across the ecliptic in
the same way as planets do and in classical times were believed to be fixed to a gigantic celestial sphere, which
twirled in a stately dance around the Earth every single day. Fixed Stars appear to be stationary, relative to the Earth
and to each other, and are grouped into symbolic patterns called constellations (although they do travel due to
precession at a rate of less than one minute per year, so needing some seventy-two years to move slightly more than
one degree of arc). In modern times, these stars have also been shown to have real motion of their own, as the
galaxies appear to be rotating and expanding, although this is not possible to see with the naked eye. This discovery
led scientists to propose the Big Bang Theory of the origins of the universe.

In the tropical cosmological picture, fixed stars do not lie within the tropical zodiac of the signs, which is a symbolic
map; they are all beyond it in the constellations. Some of the fixed stars, particularly those near the ecliptic and of
significant magnitude, have been found to exert considerable influence. The images on which our zodiac is based
are, of course, patterns drawn from constellations of fixed stars, but the constellations are no longer exactly the
same as the Signs of the Zodiac. For example, thanks to the precession of the equinoxes, fixed stars in the
constellation of Scorpio can nowadays be found in the tropical sign, Sagittarius. The individual stars nevertheless
have a definite influence in themselves, adding a deeper level of meaning to the interpretation of the figure in
question.

With regard to the interpretation of the fixed stars, the mythical significance of the star, its constellation
and indeed its position in its constellation, will provide much insight into its meaning in the figure. To get a
good grasp on this, be sure to have a look at John Frawley's excellent analysis, Reading the Fixed Stars, an
excerpt from his upcoming book, due in 2010. The brilliant Mr Frawley is definitely The Man on matters
connected with traditional astrology – knowledgeable, articulate, and witty.

Ptolemy and Lilly

Ptolemy in Tetrabiblos (I:9) declares that the stars are given natures according to their similarities to
planetary influences. He specifically assigns stars in sectors of the major constellations to particular
planetary likenesses. He lists these without comment, other than to say that these "are the observations of
the effects of the stars themselves, as made by our predecessors".

The Elizabethan astrologer, William Lilly, identified about fifty fixed stars in his horary delineations (these
are marked in the table with an asterisk *). The fixed stars have an influence when in conjunction,
opposition, square or parallel aspect with a planet, or significant point in the horoscope. They are
particularly important when in the Ascendant or Angles at birth, or when near the Sun or Moon. They also
have an effect when directed to the Angles and can be activated by major transits. Lilly states in Christian
Astrology that the planets in some parts of the Zodiac do more evidently declare their effects than in
others; and he conceives this to be in those signs and degrees where fixed stars of the same nature with
the planet are more in number, and nearer the ecliptic.

Behenian Fixed Stars

Fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical applications (in the mediæval astrology of Europe and the Arab
world) are known as the Behenian Fixed Stars (each marked with † Behenian Star). The name derives from Arabic
bahman, "root," as each was considered a source of astrological power for one or more planets. Each is also
connected with a gemstone and plant used in rituals intended to draw the star's influence (e.g., into a talisman).

When a planet was within six degrees of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly
strong. For Agrippa's table, see the Behenian Fixed Stars; for a different viewpoint, see the Table of
Hermes.

Orb of Aspect

Despite the foregoing, the allowed orb for fixed stars is a matter of some dispute among astrologers. Most
modern astrologers lean to a very small orb, mainly based on the magnitude of the star (the brighter the
star, the greater the orb). Magnitude is equivalent to "class"; so Mg.1=1st class; Mg.4=4th class, etc.
Magnitudes of a negative number (e.g. Sirius: Mg.–1.43, or Canopus: Mg.–0.72) are even brighter than 1st
Class! You may think this is weird, but science is like that... For a more detailed examination of magnitudes
and other factors, check out Anne Wright's very comprehensive site at Constellations of Words.

Traditional astrology uses a smaller number of stars and allows a larger orb, especially for the four Royal
Stars: Aldebaran, Regulus, Antares and Fomalhaut, plus Sirius and Spica. Caput Algol is also allowed a larger
orb, because it is such a powerful influence for evil. [If you find this a trifle harsh, dear reader, please
examine Medusa's Head, a remarkable article by Diana K. Rosenberg – perhaps the greatest modern
authority on the fixed stars.]
In my own work, I have found that an orb of 1 degree (one finger's width) is usually quite noticeable,
though I'd allow up to 6 degrees for Algol and various sizeable orbs for the other major stars. I generally
ignore most of the smaller stars unless there is a very significant reason not to. Experience is the best
teacher. Have a look at my article on the influence of the fixed stars on the September 11 attack, American
Catastrophe for some insight into the way they work. Fixed stars are also said to "cast no rays" meaning
that aspects other than conjunction should not be considered, but this is by no means always the case, as
demonstrated by Rosenberg. See also my colleague Ian Thurnwald's article on the 2002 Uranus/Algol cycle
The Cycle of Uranus and Algol in 2002.

Sun and Moon have a naturally wide orb (since they actually physically occupy more of the sky). This said,
the closer the orb, the stronger the influence. If a star is angular, especially if rising or setting, its influence
is the greatest. This requires the use of parans (locationally determined angular relationships between
planets and fixed stars in a chart, based on the horizon and the prime meridien, not the ecliptic).
Bernadette Brady is the best modern writer on this. Brady's Book of Fixed Stars makes a very useful and
readable addition to any astrologer's library. Conjunctions of fixed stars with planets (including lunar
nodes) in the natal chart are very significant, especially if rising, setting or culminating, and when
stimulated by transits.

Movement of Stellar Positions due to Precession

It's now (2011) been more than ten years since I first drew up this page. Consequently, several stars in the
final degree of their tropical signs have now moved, or are moving, into the subsequent sign. Examples are
Scheat, which although still technically in Pisces, entered Aries by a tight orb of influence in mid-2010;
Pleiades, already in Gemini; Menkalinan, already in Cancer; Regulus, already in Virgo. You can calculate the
movements by adding approximately 50 arc-seconds of a degree per year to the 2000 position of the star
as listed. The table up to epoch 2010 is now complete with some new additions, though there are some
minor named stars that I have not as yet included. You can see the old version here.

The strength and efficacy of the Fixed Stars is to be considered from their magnitude, their splendours, their natures
or properties, their nearness to the Ecliptic, their place in the World, their multitude, their first oriental appearance,
the purity of their place, the similitude or agreement of the body or rays of a Planet with them and their circle of
position.
