The Sun joins Izar on October 20
Fixed star Izar, Epsilon Boötis, is a binary star located on the waist of the Plowman, Boötes Constellation. Magnitudes 2.37 + 5.12, spectral types K0 II-III + A2 V, colors orange + blue-white.
The traditional and official name Izar is derived from the Arabic إزار ʾizār, a kilt like undergarment. It has also been called Pulcherrima, which is Latin for Loveliest.
In 1973, the Scottish astronomer and science fiction writer Duncan Lunan claimed to have managed to interpret a message caught in the 1920s by two Norwegian physicists that, according to his theory, came from a probe orbiting the Moon and sent there by the inhabitants of a planet orbiting Epsilon Boötis. The story was even reported in Time magazine.[1]

Izar Astrology
The main component of fixed star Izar has the spectral type K0, indicating the planetary nature of Mars. It is twice as bright as the secondary compent, with the spectral type A2 indicating a Venus nature.
Mars-Venus: Strong passions, artistic feeling, gain through women and friends, honor and preferment in martial affairs, especially if rising or culminating. [3]
Of very deep meaning to us is the star Izar, ε Boötis. From long before the present, the constellation system was recognized, Epsilon Boötis was revered by ancient Peoples, especially in Africa and South America, as a star from which their ancestors had first come to this planet. Since it is 150 lightyears away, the story is unlikely to say the least. But it is quite uncanny that this binary star’s components are in relationships to each other almost exactly as Sun and Phaethon must have been before the Great Disaster began. It is reasonable to suggest, then, that early astronomers discovered the kinship of the Izar binary to our own former state, and that their findings were announced by the media of the time, not as “This is like what we came from’, but ‘This is where we came from’. We can imagine the popular press doing the same now. The notion certainly took very deep root in us for, while the name Izar is merely Arabic for girdle, its position on the figure, the word is frequently associated with Czar, Shah and other such terms for father-figure to the community.Early western students of astrology confused the name Izar, which can be also be spelled Mizar, the Mirach, the name of β Andromedae, but this is in itself that kind of ‘inspired mistake’ which points again to the theme of Izar as a source of life to us, and a point from which to look forward, as we saw with β Andromedae itself. The result is that those with Izar strong for them do have both the keen interest in our origins, and a protective nature that wants to see us go safely on into our future development as a life species. Ptolemy did not apply himself to Izar, so far as we know, but a Saturn-Venus quality would seem entirely appropriate. [2]
Boötes Constellation
According to Ptolemy the influence of the constellation is like that of Mercury and Saturn, though the star Arcturus is like Mars and Jupiter. It is said to give prosperity from work, strong desires, a tendency to excess, a fondness for rural pursuits, together with some liking for occultism. The Kabalists associate it with the Hebrew letter Teth and the 9th Tarot Trump, “The Hermit”. [3]
