Fixed star Coxa, Theta Leonis, is a star on the hip of the constellation Leo the Lion. Magnitude +3.32, spectral type A2 V.

θ Leo is officially named Chertan.
      Applied in recent times from one spelling of the indigenous Arabic lunar mansion name al-khurtän, “the Two Small Ribs (at or near the breast),” for δ and θ Leo. The more common and apparently correct spelling of the lunar mansion name is al-kharātān, of unknown meaning.
      or Coxa
      From the Latin term “in coxis,” intended as “in the Hips,” originally for θ Leo and the unidentified 21st star of Ptolemy’s Lion constellation. The term was used in a Renaissance translation of a late Islamic star catalog (the latter Persian source, with many terms retained from the Arabic Almagest). The singular “Coxa,” “the Hip,” was then applied as a star name to θ Leo in recent times.
      In comparison, the Medieval Latin Almagest consistently used the word coxa to mean “thigh,” not “hip,” and the word appears as such in the constellation Leo in describing the stars ι and σ. Furthermore, our teo stars θ and the 21st of Leo, were poorly described as on the pixis vertibri, “socket of the vertebra” (where vertebrum was intended in the same sense as ancha, a word properly used for “hip” elsewhere in the Medieval Latin Almagest [for example see θ Aqr]). [A Dictionary of Modern Star Names, Kunitzch, Smart, 2006, pp. 42.]
      θ Leo belongs to the Chinese asterism Tàiwēiyòuyuán, “Right Wall,” and has the traditional names Tàiwēiyòuyuánsì, “4th star of Right Wall,” Xīcìxiāng, “The Second Western Minister,” and Xītàiyīnmén, “Final gate in the west.” [Leo in Chinese astronomy – Wikipedia.]

In China it was Tsze Seang, the Second Minister of State. Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning, Richard H. Allen, 1889, pp. 262.

Coxa Astrology

The ability to prophesy. On the Euphrates, Coxa and Zosma were Kakkab Kua, the constellation of the god Kua, the Oracle. ^[1]

The spectral type A2 of fixed star Coxa indicates a Venus nature.

SPECTRAL CLASS A: These bluish-white stars give great honors, artistic appreciation, unexpected gains, good fortune, riches, good judgment, sociableness, creativeness, idealism, and impulsiveness. Challenging aspects cause wantonness, indiscretion, scandals, foolhardiness, destructiveness, cleverness, many anxious moments and self-seeking nature. ^[2]

Leo Constellation

Ptolemy makes the following observations: “Of the stars in Leo, two in the head are like Saturn and partly like Mars. The three in the neck are like Saturn and, to some degree, like Mercury. Those in the loins, Saturn and Venus. Those in the thighs resemble Venus and, in some degree, Mercury.” It is said that the stars in the neck, back and wing all bring trouble, disgrace and sickness, affecting the part of the body ruled by the sign, especially if they happen to be in conjunction with the Moon. By the Kabalists, Leo is associated with the Hebrew letter Kaph and the 11th Tarot Trump “Strength.” ^[3]

In mundane astrology, Leo Constellation is associated with royal events, especially the ascension or death of kings and queens, the election or death of heads of state, assassinations, uprisings and massacres, currency and the stock exchange, the Vatican and the European Union.
