Fixed star El Nath, Beta Tauri, is a double star located on the tip of the northern horn of the Bull, Taurus Constellation. Magnitude 1.65, spectral type B7III, color blue-white.

The traditional name El Nath comes from the Arabic word النطح (an-naţħ) which means the butting.

El Nath Astrology

EL NATH. β Tauri. A double star, pure brillian white and pale grey, situated on the tip of the northern horn of the Bull, and commonly known as the Bull’s North Horn. From Al Naith, the Butting One, or according to Bullinger the Wounded or Slain. Symbolically called the Shepherd. The name El Nath is often erroneously used for Hamal in Aries. Of the nature of Mars and Mercury. It gives fortune, eminence and neutrality for good or evil. [1]

NATH. β Tauri. A giant white star, class B8, at the tip of the northern horn of the Bull. “The One Who Butts.” Gives an ambitious nature, makes the native obstinate, headstrong, changeable. Gives the native honors, good luck. [5]

El Nath belongs to both the constellation of the Charioteer and to the constellation of the Bull (Taurus). Modern astrologers assert that it has the nature of Mars and Mercury because these planets are associated with Taurus by Ptolemy. But the spectra is that of Jupiter. This is confirmed by the fact that traditionally El Nath portends great eminence and fortune to all who could claim it as their natal star. [2]

El Nath, β Tauri, second brightest in the Constellation, has the same Mars quality according to Ptolemy but lacks the august Archangelic status of Aldebaran. The name means ‘The One Who Butts (or Gores)’, deriving from its position on one of the bull’s horn-tips. So it is more of the officer in the front line than the general at G.H.Q. if we stay with the military scene or since Mars is not only the planet of war but also of surgery, engineering, iron and steel generally, El Nath will show up practical skill in any of these professions. Some astronomers have considered El Nath to be in the neighboring Constellation Auriga, where it is γ, third brightest, under the name Al Ka’b or Al Aqib, The Heel of the Rein-holder. Either way, it has been in the Sign Gemini since 362 AD.

El Nath gives a combative nature with the tongue, and sometimes manually too, which can indeed lead to misfortune, although the victim may well be convinced that it is ‘all for the cause and that the ‘reward in Heaven’ will compensate for the suffering here below. [3]

Fixed star El Nath rules the right side of the 8th Vertebra (First Dorsal). [4]

Constellation Taurus

Taurus was an object of worship in primitive cultures throughout the ages. To the ancient Egyptians, it was the bull-god Orissi, but the star was also worshiped by the Babylonians, Chinese, Druids, and some tribes of Amazon Indians. Taurus traditionally presages the results of the beginnings of large political undertakings. The constellation also portends that which affects wild animals, especially those of danger to man. [2]

This brings on idealism in communications. These people like to exaggerate their ideals to others and they can be very inspirational when communicating with people. Depending on how biased these individuals are, their communications can be outright lies. However, these persons are unable to see them as untruths. These natives can be very inspiring and helpful to those who need guidance through one who is developed beyond the normal prejudices of an earthbound upbringing. This could be the clergy who feel they are bringing truths to others when in fact they are relaying their own prejudiced and judgmental ideas. They are eloquent in speech and can sway people to their idealism’s. Some handle it on a highly evolved level, but many handle this energy on a lower level and manipulate others to their ideas.

If Saturn is poorly aspected to Jupiter in their natal chart, they would handle this energy in a negative way. There are some people who are helped by these individuals as they need something to lean on, but for the most part, it is because they have little understanding of what is really true. [4]
