These properties are accentuated if Capella is connected Moon, Mercury or the Ascendant. In plain people these properties make themselves known by persistent, annoying and inquisitive curiosity. According to tradition, this fixed star also makes people somewhat odd. This could be counted as another manifestation of a weak Neptunian influence. Connected to beneficial stellar bodies, natives will become popular, receive honors and have success in material enterprises. [3]

Capella, α Aurigae, means the Little She-Goat. It is very bright and cheerful to see. Its Mars-Mercury designation, like that of its longitudinally neighboring Bellatrix below it, shows up that same will to ‘have a go’, and calls for the same pause for thought to be sure what one is actually taking on. Great initiative and enthusiasm but caution and objective second thoughts are needed because of impulsiveness and recklessness. [4]

(No orb): This restricts verbal communication with other people. These persons are unable to open up their hearts and give to others. They may be able to develop their mental abilities, but true giving from the heart would be restricted and others would see them as cold-hearted or dispassionate. This sadness is created in these individuals for they do not understand why they cannot be loving to others and why they feel so isolated. Others would avoid close contact with them, generally keeping them at arm’s length. Saturn here also creates difficulties with the shoulder blades.
