Princeps Astrology
Fixed star Princeps has the spectral type G8, indicating the planetary nature of the Sun.
PRINCEPS. δ Boötis. A pale yellow star situated in the spear-shaft of Boötis. Of the nature of Mercury and Saturn. It gives a keen studious and profound mind with the ability for research. [3]
TSIEH KUNG. δ Boötis. A yellow giant star. Spectral class G4, 116 light years distant. This star gives the native a keen mentality, resourceful, somewhat of a fearful nature, conservative, studious. [4]
Princeps is another marker of our capacity to protect and be protected, but with a good hint of our role as Regent princes, and of the Crown that is ours for doing the job well. [5]
Princeps rules four inches below the navel. [6]
Constellation Boötes
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]

Sun conjunct Princeps: : High preferment in sports, religious matters, science, legal and government affairs. The native is very resourceful, has the ability to explore new and untried ideas, areas, successfully. These natives are ‘fence straddlers’, non committal until they are sure of what is in store for them, however, they can be outspoken when it suits their purpose or as a means to an end. Negatively they can create their own problems. [4]
Soko 0°01′ (and Pluto), Hillary Clinton 0°06′, Hera Mirtel 0°08′, Alexandra David-Néel 0°12′, Katy Perry 0°33′ (and Pluto), Klaus Barbie 0°42′, The Big Bopper 1°13′, Pablo Picasso 1°13′, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva 1°17′.
Moon conjunct Princeps: The native has the ability to start from small beginnings and gain high perferment in business, legal and matters dealing with the public. These natives can overcome any obstacle. Some of these natives will have premonitions, not necessarily psychic ability. Preferment in foreign and legal matters. [4]
Mark Wahlberg 0°06′, Michael Hutchence 0°17′, Princess Märtha Louise of Norway 0°29′, Margot Robbie 1°10′.
Mercury conjunct Princeps: These natives are endowed with penetrating minds, this conjunction is good for gain. The native can be full of discontent, almost fearful, created by circumstances and resulting in situations that could create legal problems, and in some cases imprisonment. [4]
(1°00′ orb): These persons have an extremely keen and sensitive response to everything around them. They communicate on the extra-sensory level, and have those “gut” feelings that dominate their existence. They never make a mistake when following their feelings, and are usually in touch with these feelings even though they do not realize it. They can perceive and judge situations quickly when it is necessary to do so. No matter what information they wish to obtain, they know just how to locate the information they need. The one drawback here is that they are unable to explain just how they were able to get the information or material. It would do well for them to have a partner who can log exactly the method they used to obtain the information or material. These individuals would make excellent employees for research or investigation agencies, as they would enjoy that type of work. [6]

Mars conjunct Princeps: The native has a keen, subtle studious mind, often interested in affairs that lead to careers where they can make use of their leadership abilities. Domestic problems possible. [4]
(0°30′ orb): This planet distorts the sexuality of the person. They can be over-sexed or under-sexed depending on what planets aspect this point. This can sometimes be quite destructive as they are very much obsessed with sex for the sake of sex. These persons use objects to excite themselves in many different ways, causing many injuries to themselves as they do not know when to stop. They are obsessed with the genital area even though they may not have an intimate relationship with anyone. This affects both men and women, and their obsession would bring difficulties with others who are close to them. This is a karmic position, for in a prior life, they abused others, and now they are abusing themselves. [6]

I have my North Node exact in 5th house Scorpio.
Why am I not surprised, I was researching this Star, googled it and your page was on the top. Someday people will realize that the heavens influence our life. Take care Jamie, you are the best!!
Spot on, same here. Thanks Diana.
Venus conjunct princeps, opposite moon in Taurus conjunct sedna.
Moon is the apex of a tight yod between Mercury & Pluto in libra and Neptune in sag. Makes venus the boomerang yod
All confusing to piece together
Sure is Richy, Just take it step by step when working on a yod. Start at fully understanding your Mercury Pluto conjunction then the sextile. End up finally at Venus which is where you express all those intense emotions. How you love yourself and others.
What about Venus exactly conjunct Princeps?
That’s an interesting one Melissa. I wold expect very caring and loyal and, given the description for Mars perhaps some kinkiness, not sure about that though. Would be good for you to come back at some stage and give some feedback.
Thanks for the input. Caring and loyal, yes. Kinkiness, not so, perhaps because of my generation. I was born 9/10/1946 at 9:20 a.m. in Ashtabula, Ohio. Been married six times so I do have trouble maintaining a relationship. Guess I was born too independent. Have a great day.
Thanks for the details Melisa.
This must be my sun star, as my sun in Scorpio is just about in orb to this star. Izar seems to be out of orb. I was starting to think that I didn’t have a sun star. With the rate of precession, it makes my sun approx 1.44 degrees Scorpio.
I’m very much into research – that’s why I usually go to bed late! I’m often up till late doing any kind of research that interests me. I’m also very protective – I don’t know if this star means that the individual is protective or/and protected. I’m protective over family, friends and animals. I would say that I’m studious, as I love learning and absorbing new knowledge. I have a need for mental stimulation. I haven’t got the patience to hang about in the company of a person who hasn’t got much to say. I think this star could also mean that the Princeps individual loves other people with a profound and interesting/knowledgeable mind. Like attracts like.
Yes this star is within orb. To correct for precession you just need to add 0°10′ to your planets.
Cool ????
Exact on my natal north node – far out!
I have a peregrine Mars conjunct Princeps and sex is a form of emotional and spiritual intimacy with another in my eyes. The above description reminds me of a scene from the exorcist movie, it does not seem to be a description that I can relate to. Maybe sex is a symbolism, possibly for another meaning?
Good to hear from you about this interpretation. I’m sure other with Mars hear will welcome it too. The more comments the better because it is rare that authors actually have these conjunctions themselves.
My pluto is conjunct Princeps at 04 scorpio and I wonder… 🙂
Isnt any relation to the moon?
My MC and Pluto are conjunct Princeps.
Hi pablo then maybe you want a deep transformation of the world and play a leading role with that. Maybe….
Pedro – This star seems to be good for leaders but with hints to plutocratic, manipulative and hidden agenda behaviour (Clinton, Putin, Noriega). Together with pluto at your midheaven you have to be careful not to misuse political power i would say…
Sry…Pablo not pedro 🙋🤣👻
Is there any particular influence of Pluto conjunct Princeps? There’s nothing above for Pluto, just celebs. Thanks
Hi Russell. I have included all the planetary conjunction that have been written about. I am adding celebrities to help someone in the future add more interpretations, or me if I have time.

Merga is interesting, as it shows up conjunct the Part of Fortune in geocentric, so keep it for Heliocentric, amongst Venus, Earth and Moon. https://astrologyking.com/constellation-bootes/
Merga is interesting about what Paul ? What meaning you give it concerning this tariff ? Plz explain a bit so others better can understand yr gandalf knowledge… 🤗😉
Astrology? There’s a dual track railway next to where I live. This morning an Auto max went by, north, and an Amtrak south. Didn’t look like the automax was loaded, and couldn’t tell if the Amtrak people had gold bars in their purses, but that is what came to mind. The artworks’ still the gold.
Now, however Paul you funny one i read about Marga was the wife of Homer didn’t she ?? 🤣😂
Or did i mention the Paulchen the Pink Panther ohhhh no prob you come back for shure? To complete the Artwork ahh ja…
I was looking at Xingchen, stardust, but couldnt find any astrology. Merga being a Libra sign star, Merge comes to mind. Ultimately tariff strategy? Lots of dust floating around Mandalay though. Another tariff aspect, helio, Mars conjunct Regulus, perhaps more helpful, a sudden end. Whats your fascination with Mensa?
Merga is some kind of sickle in the herdmans hand..
The sickle of death or the sickle of the reaper.
Another meaning is the chained women.
All are quite satunian meanings…
That fits good with tariffs Paul.
yuh, thats why i provided the link to Bootes, instead of promoting it. Mars Regulus more what we want. Neptune-Scheat could be the endurance before accepting The New. So more changes, steady as she goes…
