Bellatrix Astrology

According to Ptolemy Bellatrix is like Mars and Mercury; and, to Alvidas, Mercury and Mars in good aspect. It gives great civil or military honor but danger of sudden dishonor, renown, wealth, eminent friends and liability to accidents causing blindness and ruin. If prominent in a woman’s map it makes her loquacious and shrewish, and gives a high-pitched, hard and sharp voice. [1]

γ Orionis. A super giant star, bluish-white, spectral class B2. This is a slightly variable star marking the left shoulder of Orion. Of yore, it was considered to bestow upon its natives great civil and military honours, and women were loquacious and forceful. This star imparts to its natives a fondness for power, victory over their competitors, great authority, an ambitious nature, rashness, an energetic type person, one who can be headstrong, and of a changeable nature, negatively the native is subject to sudden losses and dishonours, even violence. [7]

Bellatrix traditionally is the natal star of all those destined to great civil or military honors. It also indicates lucky and loquacious women. Thomas Hood (c. 1590) claimed that “women born under this star shall have mighty tongues”. [2]

Bellatrix on the left shoulder of Orion is pointing to its character by its name, The Amazon, being equivalent to Mars action. In addition to this, there is the influence of a Mercurial kind. This will make for characteristics such as quick decision-making; thoughts and plans being realized with energy, courage and fighting spirit; strategic talents, ability to organize; discrimination; but also, often the reckless aggressiveness of a belligerent daredevil. If the positive properties can be drawn out, connections of Bellatrix, e.g., with Midheaven, will lead to advancement and success. But those who succeed always have to allow for being surrounded with envy and hatred. [3]

Bellatrix, γ Orionis, is the Mars-Mercury star on his forward, left, shoulder, from which his arm reaches out to carry his shield. The name means the Female Warrior, or the Amazon Star, calling to mind the association with Diana, Orion’s lady counterpart and sometimes said to have been his wife. One perhaps suspects Juno’s influence here, for the real Amazons were a female-ruled community around Greece who fought ferociously against the wild hordes invading from Asia and bringing male domination with them. Again it is a star revealing great courage, but a tendency to fight futile or lost causes if it is not well aspected. o the Arabs it was Al Najid, the Conqueror. [4]

Bellatrix star rules the right side of the chest, chest cavity, and lungs in the human body. [5]

Constellation Orion

According to Ptolemy the bright stars with the exception of Betelgeuze and Bellatrix are like Jupiter and Saturn. It is said to give a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, prosperity in trade and particularly by voyages or abroad, but danger of treachery and poison. It was thought by the Romans to be very harmful to cattle and productive of storms. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump “The Juggler.” [1]

Orion is the most important constellation in the heavens outside the zodiac. In judicial astrology, this is the constellation of war. In the Middle Ages, this constellation was said to be a direful influence to agriculture, being the “the veri cuttrhrote of cattle” and presaging violent storms and much rain. In genethiacal charts, the indications are for arrogance, rebellion, strength, and courage. Tetrabiblos lists the stars in the shoulder of Orion to have a nature similar to that of Mars and Mercury, and the other bright stars in the constellation to be similar to the natures of Jupiter and Saturn. [2]
