Toliman at 29°24′ Scorpio as an orb of 2°40′

The Sun joins Toliman on November 21

Fixed star Toliman, Alpha Centauri, is a 1st magnitude triple star system in the on the left forefoot of the Centaur, Constellation Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Rigil Kentaurus (Alpha Centauri A), Toliman (B) and Proxima Centauri (C). Alpha Centauri A and B are Sun-like stars (Class G and K, respectively), forming the binary star system Alpha Centauri AB. To the naked eye, the two main components appear to be a single star with an apparent magnitude of −0.27. Alpha Centauri C, or Proxima Centauri, is a small, faint red dwarf (Class M).

The name Toliman comes from the Arabic al-Ẓulmān, meaning “the ostriches”. It is sometimes called Rigel Kent or Bungula. Rigel Kent is the romanization of the Arabic Rijl Qanṭūris, meaning “the foot of the Centaur”. Along with Agena, it comprises the Pointer Stars to the Southern Cross, constellation Crux.

Toliman Astrology

BUNGULA. α Centauri. A binary star, white and yellowish, on the left forefoot of the Centaur. According to Bullinger it bore the ancient name Toliman, meaning the Heretofore and Hereafter. It is the nearest to our system of all the stars and lies at a distance of about 275,000 times that of the earth from the Sun. According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Venus and Jupiter; and, to Alvidas, of Mars with the Moon and Uranus in Scorpio. Bungula gives beneficence, friends, refinement and a position of honor. [1]

Anonymous of 379 AD said Toliman is like Jupiter and Venus. [6]

TOLLIMAN. α Centauri. A binary, white and of great brilliance, and yellow of lesser brilliance. Spectral classes: GO and K5. This star imparts to its natives a fatalistic attitude, generates a position of honor, and grants the native refinement possibilities and friends who come to the natives’ assistance. [7]

Bungula (Toliman) has a Jupiter-Venus nature, but there is the added peculiarity that relationships with females often seem spoiled, or an existing happy relationship is stricken by exceptional circumstances. Well positioned, Bungula may help the native to gain a position of honor and power. The conjunction of Neptune with Bungula appears to be most disadvantageous in mundane maps. If one looks into past events, they always seem to tally up with disturbances, riots, periods of storm and stress, and revolt against curtailment of freedom. [2]

α Centauri is actually three stars very close to each other as we see them, and one of them actually the closest star to use in real distance, a mere 4¼ light-years, so it is called Proxima Centauri. More generally, however, α as a whole is called Rigel Kentaur, Foot of the Centaur. Another name for it is Bungula, again meaning Foot if we remove the inexplicable ‘B’ from it. Yet a third name is Toliman, mentioned here only because readers may find it in the odd book or so. Given Venus-Jupiter acclaim by Ptolemy, this much-admired star trio is 29°33′ Scorpio. Whoever has this star prominent in the horoscope will be noted for great enthusiasm for whatever causes they embrace, and they are likely to be quite self-sacrificing about it. They can even afford that expenditure if the star is well-aspected, for they truly do indicate a bountiful flow of energies from within or Above, however we may express it. [3]

Astrologically, it is as the Sun, and it portends friends, refinement, and positions of honor. When rising, this star indicates a breeder or trainer of horses. If favorably aspected by Mars, the native in less mechanistic times would have been a cavalry soldier, but today, a jockey, polo player, or other profession requiring horsemanship would be more logical. An aspect by Venus of Toliman when rising is indicative of natives who become veterinarians. When setting, of course, the star is indicative of troubles pertaining to the above descriptions; such problems might include horse-related accidents or falling from high places. [4]

Toliman rules two inches below the navel. [5]

Constellation Centaurus

According to Ptolemy, the stars in the human part of the figure are of the nature of Venus and Mercury, and the bright stars in the horse’s part of Venus and Jupiter. It is said to give hard-heartedness, inclination to vengeance, love of arms, strong passion, and an energetic nature. It may be connected with poisons. [1]

Astrologically the constellation gives wisdom and proficiency in botany, music, astronomy, divination, and medicine. In Medieval times, the constellation was said to be connected with poison and to indicate strong passions and vengeance. [3]
