Fixed star Ushakaron, Xi Tauri, is a 4th-magnitude variable spectroscopic and eclipsing quadruple star system located on the hoof of the Bull, Constellation Taurus.
Xi Tauri (ξ Tau) consists of three B-type stars and one F-type star. Two B9 stars form an eclipsing binary system and revolve around each other once every 7.15 days. These, in turn, orbit a B5 star every 145 days. The F5 orbits the other three stars in a roughly fifty-year period.
Magnitude 3.73 – 3.81, spectral type B9 (B9 + B9 + B5 + F5), color blue-white. [1]
ξ Tau is named Ushakaron [2] or Yshakaron, from the Akkadian names meaning “Exacter of Justice and Retribution” or “The Avenger” or “The Vindicator”. [3]

Ushakaron Astrology
Fixed star Ushakaron has a spectral type of B9, indicating a planetary nature, similar to that of Jupiter, and to a lesser extent, Venus.
SPECTRAL CLASSES B: A fondness for power, great authority, the ability to command, martial honors, kingly preferment, victory over enemies, liberality, and cosmopolitan views. High honors, wealth, and renown are possible. A higher spiritual nature, but few can respond. A variable star adds a tendency to be loquacious, changeable, rash, and headstrong. [4]
JUPITER-VENUS: Contented, happy disposition, honorable, philosophical mind, legal or ecclesiastical preferment, help through women. If rising or culminating, honor and riches. [5]
If the horoscope (AC) is in the cleavage of the hoof of Taurus, and it is aspected equally by benevolent and malevolent planets, they will make a painter, but one whom this study ennobles with famous honor. But if aspected by a malevolent planet alone, famous gladiators will be born, but who, after much applause and innumerable victories, die in this study of combat with a threatening sword <with> great applause and favor from the spectators. [6]
Constellation Taurus
Ptolemy makes the following observations: “Those stars in Taurus which are in the abscission of the sign resemble in their temperament the influence of Venus, and in some degree that of Saturn . . . the stars in the head (except Aldebaran) resemble Saturn, and, partly, Mercury; and those at the top of the horns are like Mars.” By the Kabalists Taurus is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump “The Juggler.” In all the ancient Zodiacs, Taurus is the beginning sign and marked the Vernal Equinox from about 4,000 to 1,700 B.C. [5]
The constellation was an object of worship in primitive cultures throughout the ages. To the ancient Egyptians, it was the bull-god Orissi, but according to R. A. Allen in Star Names and Their Meanings, the star was also worshiped by the Babylonians, Chinese, Druids, and some tribes of Amazon Indians. Its stars, according to Tetrabiblos are: “…like Venus along the line where the constellation is cut off [Taurus is represented as the head and fore-part only of a charging bull. These are the stars 5-Tau, 4-Tau, 3-Tau, 0-Tau, and 30-Tau.]: those in the Pleiades have the nature of the Moon and Jupiter; the one in the Hyades that is bright and somewhat reddish called Troch (Aldebaran) has a ‘temperament’ like that of Mars; the others (in the Hyades) like that of Saturn and moderately like that of Mercury; and those (stars) in the tips of the horns, like that of Mars.” With the exception of El Nath (constellation of the Charioteer), all the named stars in Ptolemy’s catalog of this constellation are in the Hyades and Pleiades. The Bull is now called Taurus (Tau) and traditionally presages the results of the beginnings of large political undertakings. The constellation also portends that which affects wild animals, especially those dangerous to man. [7]
