Enif at 1°52′ Pisces has an orb of 2°10′

Fixed star Enif, Epsilon Pegasi, is a 2.38 magnitude yellow and blue star on the nose of the Winged Horse, constellation Pegasus. It is the brightest star in the constellation.

The traditional name Enif is derived from the Arabic word for “nose” due to its position as the muzzle of Pegasus. It has also been called “Fom al Feras,” from the Arabic for “The horses’ mouth,” Latinised to “Os Equi.”

Fixed Star Enif Astrology

Enif gives danger in battle. ^[2] It has the spectral type K2, so it is like Mars. It, therefore, portends danger but success in war, sports and business.

Mars: Violent death, ultimate ruin by folly or pride. If rising, wealth, power, courage, generosity, ingenuity, rise to authority, martial success, subject to cuts, wounds, accidents, sores and injuries to the face, pains in the head and fevers. If culminating, martial eminence, success in trade and occupations of a Mars nature. If afflicting Mercury, deafness. ^[1]

Constellation Pegasus

Constellation Pegasus the Flying Horse gives ambition, vanity, intuition, enthusiasm, caprice, and bad judgment. It prevails against the diseases of horses and preserves horsemen in battle. According to Ptolemy, the bright stars are like Mars and Mercury (high enterprise, combative, destructive. If rising, rash, very obstinate, ruined by headstrong and precipitate conduct. If culminating, changeable in business.) ^[1]

The constellation portends events concerning ships and the ocean and also changes in the weather. In medieval times it was said to indicate vain individuals with a great deal of ambition but very poor judgment. ^[2]

Pegasus, like birds, angels, and most celestial winged creatures, is an allegory for the superior spiritual power that the hero first sought out to aid him in his task, and the Owl represents the wisdom side of that same power. ^[3]

In mundane astrology, Pegasus is associated with drowning, accidents, catastrophes, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, floods, shipwrecks, mining accidents, airplane accidents, falling accidents, shooting down from high, horses, jockeys, transportation, communications, space travel, exploration, pioneering, science, invention and heroism.
