Bootes Constellation [Stellarium]

The Sun joins Arcturus on October 17

Fixed star Arcturus, Alpha Boötis (α Boo), is a 1st magnitude single star on the left knee of the Herdsman, Boötes constellation. It is the brightest star in the northern hemisphere and the 4th-brightest star in the sky behind Sirius, Canopus and Toliman.
Magnitude −0.05, spectral type K1.5III, orange-red color. ^[1]

α Boo is officially named Arcturus.
From its ancient Greek name Ἀρκτοῦρος, “the Bear Watcher, or Guardian,” referring to the nearby bear constellation (Ursa Major). Reapplied in Renaissance times. An alternative meaning of the name is “Guardian of the North,” where the Greek word ἄρκτος, “bear,” also came to mean “north,” by its association with the northerly celestial bear. ^[2]

In ancient times, the star was associated with the Mesopotamian god Enlil, who ruled wind, air, storms, and earth, and was known as Shudun, meaning “yoke,” or SHU-PA in Babylonian star catalogs and the astronomical compendium MUL-APIN, compiled around 1100 BCE. ^[1]

α, 0.3, golden yellow.
Arcturus has been an object of the highest interest and admiration to all observant mankind from the earliest times, and doubtless was one of the first stars to be named… But, like other prominent stars, it shared its name with its constellation — in fact, probably at first, and as late as Pliny’s day, was a constellation by itself. Homer’s Βοώτης doubtless was this, with, possibly, a few of its larger companions; and Bayer cited Bootes for the star; but in recent times the latter has monopolized the present title.
It was famous with the seamen of early days, even from the traditional period of the Arcadian Evander, and regulated their annual festival by its movements in relation to the sun. But its influence always was dreaded… and Vergil twice made allusion in his 1st Georgic to its character as unfavorably affecting the farmers’ work. Other contemporaneous authors confirmed this stormy reputation.
Hippocrates, 460 B.C., made much of the influence of Arcturus on the human body, in one instance claiming that a dry season, after its rising, agrees best with those who are naturally phlegmatic, with those who are of a humid temperament, and with women; “but it is most inimical to the bilious”; and that “diseases are especially apt to prove critical in these days.”
The Prologue of the Rudens of Plautus, delivered by Arcturus in person, and “one of the early opinions of the presence of invisible agents amongst mankind,” declares of himself that he is considered a stormy sign at the times of his rising and setting.
Astrologically, however, the star brought riches and honor to those born under it.
In India it was the 13th nakshatra, Svati, “the Good Goer,” or perhaps Sword, but figured as a Coral Bead, Gem, or Pearl; and known there also as Nishṭya, Outcast, possibly from its remote northern situation far outside of the zodiac.
The Arabs knew Arcturus as Al Simāk⁠ al Rāmiḥ, sometimes translated as “the Leg of the Lance-bearer,” and again, perhaps more correctly, “the Lofty Lance-bearer.” From the Arabic title came various degenerate forms: Al Ramec, Aramec, Aremeah, Ascimec, Azimech, and Azimeth.
It has been identified with the Chaldaeans’ Papsukal, “the Guardian Messenger,” the divinity of their 10th month Tibitu; while Smith and Sayce have said that on the Euphrates it was “the Shepherd of the Heavenly Flock,” or “the Shepherd of the Life of Heaven,” undoubtedly the Sib-zi‑anna of the inscriptions; the star η being often included in this, and thus making one of the several pairs of Euphratean Twin Stars.
Ptolemy specified its color as ὑποκιῤῥος, rendered rutilus, “golden red,” in the 1551 Almagest. ^[3]

In Chinese astronomy, α Boo is a single-star asterism in the 2nd Chinese lunar mansion Kang (Neck). It has the astronomical name 大角 Dàjiǎo, “Great Horn,” and is also known by the following names:
大角星 Dàjiǎoxīng, “Great Horn star.”
梅雨星 Méiyǔxīng, “Star of rainy season.”
天棟 Tiāndòng, “Celestial ridge-beam of a roof.”
麦星 Màixīng, “Star of wheat.”
棟星 Dòngxīng, “Star of ridge-beam of a roof.”
天王座 Tiānwángzuò, “Throne of celestial king.” ^[4]

Arcturus Astrology

Fixed star Arcturus is a variable star of spectral type K1.5, which indicates the planetary nature of Mars and, to a lesser degree, the Sun.

MARS-SUN: Heroic, courageous, defiant, intrepid leader, warlike, danger to the eyes, violent death. If rising, preferment to metal workers, soldiers, surgeons, and other Mars people. If culminating, preferment in business and in all martial affairs. ^[5]

ARCTURUS. α Boötis.
Notes. A golden-yellow star situated on the left knee of Boötes. From Arktouros, the Bear Guard. Also called Arctophilax, the Bear Watcher; and Alchameth, Azimech, and other variants of Al Simak, the Lofty One. According to Bullinger Arcturus means He Cometh, as was called Smat, One who rules, and Bau, the Coming One, by the Egyptians.
Influence. According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Mars and Jupiter, but Alvidas substitutes Venus and Mercury conjoined. It gives riches, honors, high renown, self-determination and prosperity by navigation and voyages.
Magical. Arcturus is one of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars. Its image is a horse, wolf, or man dancing. It cures fevers, retains the blood and acts as an astringent. Rules jasper and plantain.^[5]

Behenian star 11 Alchameth

ARCTURUS. α Boötis.
A golden orange star in the left knee of Bootes. “The Bear Keeper.” Spectral Class: KO. A giant star.
BASIC INFLUENCES: The star conveys to its natives success in fine arts, business, good fortunes, but many anxious moments, high honors, high office. Turbulence possible.
NOTE: Spica, a white star in the left hand of Virgo, offers many good things in the life of the native so endowed, while Arcturus, a yellow star in the knee, offers a boost to material things in the life of the same nativities. Judge carefully. ^[6]

Arcturus: α Boötis, possessing a Jupiter-Mars nature, bestows wealth, especially when associated with Jupiter, the Ascendant, or the tenth house, though this may be diminished by attacks (such as legal proceedings), potentially leading to an unfortunate conclusion for ventures that initially appeared promising, particularly when the overall configuration of aspects is unfavorable. This tempering of its beneficial influence may stem not only from the dispersive quality of its Mars component but also from its proximity to the “exaltation” of Saturn at 19° Libra. — Cf. The left shoulder of Boötes (γ Boötis). ^[7]

Arcturus, Alpha Bootis.
Arcturus, Bear Leader-Guardian, means observer of the Great Bear, or the Saucepan or Big Dipper, respectively. Main star of constellation Bootis (driver of oxen) has a Jupiter-Mars nature, and a reputation of achieving justice through power. It therefore makes the native belligerent and quarrelsome, especially if attached to Mars and Jupiter by conjunction. An enterprising spirit is here the rule, as indicated by Jupiter-Mars. Lasting success is promised if further good aspects are present. If critically aspected, the good influence will be hampered or made into a real handicap. If involved in legal action, such a native may lose all.
Between Spica and Arcturus there is a minor difference in longitude and a very large distance in latitude. A blend of mutual influences is frequently given. Although Spica is much larger and will dominate, it may require more positive character by blending with Arcturus. ^[8]

The fiery Arcturus was given the double nature of Jupiter and Mars by Ptolemy in the Tetrabiblos, but the passage is ambiguous, and it is likely that the star Nekkar (β Boo) is meant to reference Jupiter.
Arcturus (α Boo) was one of the first stars to be given a name. Its influence was always dreaded in judicial astrology, being unfavorable to the farmer’s work. However, when rising in a natal chart, it indicates an individual who will be loyal to his friends, guarding their secrets in faithful silence. Such a native will be a confidante to heads of state or be entrusted with public funds, but when setting and aspected by Saturn and Mercury the native may betray his trust and end in disgrace.
Hippocrates made much of the influence of Arcturus on the human body, claiming that if the season were dry after its rising, “it will be agreeable with those who are phlegmatic and of a humid temperament, and with women, but it is most inimical to the bilious… diseases are especially apt to prove critical in these days…” The star indicates much trouble for the native in whose chart it is mututine [just before dawn] rising or setting, but if the aspect is mututine culminating Arcturus brings riches and honor. ^[9]

Prime star of Bootes is Arcturus, at one time the name for the Constellation itself, meaning the Driver of the Bear, Arctos (which is why our northern polar region is called the Arctic, of course). The Great Bear is obviously the most formidable creature there, and the point of Bootes’ spear is menacingly close the bear’s rump in case shouting should not be enough.
Arcturus is a fine big yellow star, easily seen if one follows down a little from the curved sweep of the Bear’s stars (the handle of The Plough, or Dipper), and one may continue the sweep down to the horizon to meet the all-important Spica, Ishtar, Queen of Heaven. The two stars are almost conjunct by longitude, leading the Arabs to see Arcturus as her protector: Al Haris al Sama, Protector of Heaven, and Al Haris al Samak, Protector of the Defenseless One.
So there we see the role of Arcturus: a protector, yes, but an unbiased protector of all. While we take what we may from Spica, from this symbol of the Heavens and Earth together, we are protected. But abuse that bounty, or take it from others, or deny it to them, and the Regent-Protector steps in upon us as upon any other predator. We are ourselves that same Regent, of course, so that it is our own hand and deed that calls us sharply to order. That is why older texts warn of Arcturus above the inviting Spica, as though God has maliciously placed a ‘bad’ star right on a ‘good’ one. One must marvel at the debased kind of astrology that does not accept a need to give as well as to receive of life’s bounties. ^[10]

Fixed star Arcturus rules two inches below the navel. ^[11]

Asterism Dajiao, the Great Horn

In ancient China, Arcturus and Spica were the two horns of the Azure Dragon of the East, in the 1st ecliptic constellation. But later generations thought Arcturus was too far from the ecliptic. So now Spica (α Vir) is the Left Horn and Heze (ζ Vir) is the Right Horn of the 1st lunar mansion Jiao (Horn). Arcturus was incorporated into the 2nd lunar mansion Kang (Neck). Yet it still retains its ancient Chinese name Dàjiǎo (Great Horn).

Song History (1346)
The star Arcturus (Dajiao), situated between the Sheti asterisms (Left Conductor and Right Conductor), serves as the throne of the Heavenly King (Tianwang). It is also known as the Pillar of Heaven (Tiandong) and represents proper management of the economy. It also symbolizes the celestial beam, representing the central axis or order of the heavens.
A bright, lustrous appearance is auspicious. A blue or greenish hue signifies concern or sorrow; red indicates warfare; white portends mourning or death; black suggests illness or pestilence; a steady, yellow glow signifies peace among the populace, while any flickering or instability suggests a ruler has a fondness for travel.
If the Moon transgresses Dajiao, high-ranking officials will face distress, and the ruler will encounter misfortune. A lunar halo indicates mourning or funerary attire for the ruler.
If any of the Five Planets transgress Dajiao, ministers will conspire against their sovereign and military conflict will arise.
If Venus remains over Dajiao for a prolonged period, war is imminent.
The appearance of a comet suggests a change in the ruler’s status or the outbreak of war; it may also appear if the Emperor fails to exercise benevolence.
If a 孛 “bo” star (a hairy or hazy tailless comet) transgresses, war will break out; if it lingers over Dajiao, the ruler will suffer concern or distress.
If a guest star (unexpected star or nova) transgresses or remains over Dajiao, ministers plot against their sovereign; if it departs, the ruler will be constrained or controlled.
The entry of a meteor (falling star) is an ill omen for the ruler; if it transgresses Dajiao directly, conflict will arise on the borders.
If clouds or vapors appear, blue or greenish signifies distress for the ruler; white portends mourning or death; yellow heralds good news. ^[12]

Constellation Boötes the Herdsman

24♍15 to 13♏01

BOÖTES. The Herdsman.
Legend. Boötes is said to be Arcas, whose mother Callisto was transformed into a bear (see URSA MAJOR) by Juno. While hunting, Arcas came upon his mother unawares in her form of a bear and pursued her into the temple of Jupiter, where he would have killed her and afterward been killed himself by the priests. In order to prevent this, Jupiter, who had taken pity on them, took them both into heaven, where Boötes is still seen pursuing the Bear. According to another account, Boötes is Icarius, who was killed by some shepherds he had made drunk with a flagon of wine given him by Bacchus. In consideration of the grief of his daughter Erigone and their hound Mæra, Jupiter placed her father in heaven as Boötes, together with herself as Virgo and the hound as Canis Minor.
Influence. 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”. ^[5]

The Constellation of the Ploughman.
Today this constellation is called Boötes (Boo). Its stars traditionally are said to have the nature of Mercury and Saturn (except Arcturus). The constellation is correlative of events concerning agriculture and the effects concerned with this constellation are notably delayed in coming about. ^[9]

In the sign of Sagittarius, in the fifth part, Arcturus rises. Whoever is born in this sign will be such as to guard the secrets of his friends with faithful silence. To him will be entrusted the royal wealth, or the treasury of the people, or the public house. But if malevolent stars shine upon this place, or the care of the people will be entrusted to them, or they will become the doorkeepers of the royal house, or to whom they will be entrusted with the duties of admitting or greeting people into the palace. ^[14]

Denotes unto the Native good Fortune, which he shall enjoy in this world with comfort and content, yet notwithstanding he shall be engaged in many troubles, discontents and fears, rather occasioned by his own temerity, than any just occasion. ^[15]

(0°30′ orb): This is important to the entire endocrine system. There is a great stimulation of energy for those who are creative and artistic. This can be great physical energy in whatever art form the person is engaged. Generally it is a creative art form where the body must be used to create it. This can be the artist, the musician, the sculptor, and all other forms of creativity. Although the art form may not be a physical one, these persons will put it into a physical form. This can be the artist who overworks, thus creating an imbalance in their system. Their kidneys are affected first and later, many ailments appear that their immune system cannot overcome. Creativity is their main topic in life and it is far overdone. They simply do not know how to rest or eat properly. Usually they do not take time out to eat, and these are persons who need a partner that can make them take the time to eat and rest. Many find just such a partner who can tend to their needs. This may not necessarily be a marriage partner, but it could be a close friend or relative. ^[11]

Jupiter conjunct Arcturus: Benefits from legal and Church matters, influential position, danger of hypocrisy, gain through foreign affairs or shipping. ^[5]

These natives are quite mercenary, can make gains in public life. Hypocrisy is evident. ^[6]

Jupiter conjunct Arcturus in the 10th House: Ample Fortune and great Honor. ^[15]

Saturn conjunct Arcturus: Honest, selfish, inclined to be mean, shrewd in business, materialistic, favorable for gain and speculation and for domestic matters, but early difficulty in married life, favorable for children but disagreement with one of them. ^[5]

This has the opposite action than Mars on this degree. These people would love to create something but are unable to find the inspiration to do so. They have an internal sadness over their lack of creativity which affects the kidneys. They do not have any creative outlets and have no idea as to how artistic persons bring about their creation. Even music does not move some individuals, and they do not have the vision necessary to be creative. The kidneys become clogged as a result and do not function freely. This planet at this point will eventually break down the health of the native. They become isolated and weakened, functioning on a low energy level. This is a karmic position in that they misguided and misused their creative energy in a previous life and they are therefore restricted in this life. ^[11]

Edgar Cayce on Arcturus

Also we find the Sun and Arcturus, the greater Sun, giving of the strength in mental and spiritual elements toward developing of soul and of the attributes toward the better forces in earth’s spheres. This brings, especially, the conditions of these characters:
One that is exceptional in many ways, manners and faculties, especially in those of mental forces having great vision in every direction, especially those of the unseen elements, bringing then much psychic and occult forces to the body.
The highest conception of all domestic relations, the highest conceptions of honor. The highest conceptions of respect. The highest conceptions in every relation in friendship and in every element relating to others.
This brings the forces that give the greater elements in the life, yet with the undue influence by the Moon’s forces, when square to Saturn and Mars, brings doubts within the body’s mental forces. In will’s realm then must the entity bring the better forces when such conditions arise. (137-4)
Arcturus, the wonderful, the beautiful! As the bright and glorious light. (827-1)
Arcturus comes in this entity’s chart, or as a central force from which the entity came again into the earth-material sojourns. For, this is the way, the door out of this system. Yet purposefully did the entity return in this experience. (2454-3)
Not that the sun that is the center of this solar system is all there is. For the entity has attained to that realm even of Arcturus, or that center from which there may be the entrance into other realms of consciousness. And the entity has chosen in itself to return to the earth for a definite mission. (2823-1)
And Arcturus! For the entity has gone out and returned purposefully. (5259-1)
As indicated, or as has been indicated in other sources besides this as respecting this very problem, – Arcturus is that which may be called the center of this universe, through which individuals pass and at which period there comes the choice of the individual as to whether it is to return to complete there – that is, in this planetary system, our sun, the earth sun and its planetary system – or to pass on to others. This was an unusual step, and yet a usual one. (5749-14)
