The Sun joins Alrisha on April 19

Fixed star Alrisha, Alpha Piscium, is a 3.8 magnitude double star, pale green and blue, marking the knot in the cord that binds the Fishes, Pisces Constellation. The name Alrisha comes from Alrescha, the Arabic الرشآء al-rišā, meaning the well rope. Another old name for this star is Okda, from the Arabic عقدة uqdah, which means knot.

Fixed Star Alrisha Astrology

According to Ptolemy, Al Risha, the bright star marking the knot in the cord, is of the nature of Mars and, to some degree, Mercury. This star, however, has the A2 spectrum of Venus. It is of a unifying influence. ^[1]

The prime star of the Constellation, α Piscium, is Al Risha’, The Cord (or String). This apparent double star, which may actually be a true binary pair, is at the point where the two arms of the figure meet. In some portrayals, the fishes themselves are at the far ends of the arms, so that the long string is folded at the star α as though being held at that point.

In some Latin works this star is called The Node of the Fishes, or of the Two Strings, Nodus Piscium or Nodus Duorum Filorum, which describes the position precisely but has not remained in general usage. It is here mentioned only for the record, as also the Arabic rendering of the same title, Al Ukd Al Haitain, or Ukda, or Kaitain, with variations on those spellings.

In general, the better name to use and remember what we started with, Al Risha’, though it is worth warning the reader that this name has also been used in the past for the star β Andromedae, better known as Mirach. However, Al Risha, is practically conjunct with the Great Galaxy in Andromeda; and this latter, a glorious family of billions of stars, must surely take precedence over the barely visible α star in Pisces.

If we take further note of Alrisha at all, it should be to think of it as the crux of a thread holding things together in the notoriously nebulous Pisces, and as a kind of lifeline to be thrown those adrift in the Ocean of Time and Space. People with this point strong in their horoscopes do have a better than average capacity for knowing where they are, and where they are going, and a gift for helping others forward also. ^[2]
