Indus Constellation Astrology
INDUS. The Indian. It is said to give a quick penetrating mind, deep insight, and interest in orientalism, mysticism and sport. [2]
Indus, or its lucida α, was Pe Sze in China, where it also was known as the Persian, a title from the Jesuit missionaries. [3] The term Pe Sze is from the name of asterism 波斯 (Bō Sī), meaning Persia. [4]

Thank you for this information How long is this star present?
Always.
Jamie i see it is at the border of capricorn to aquarius so could it have a saturn-uranus signature ?
Hi Klaus. Using Ptolemy’s system it would be Mars because the brightest stars are red.
Ah thx Jamie – then it would line up with stars in aquila like altair which are mars-jupiter.
Yes, not far away. Eventually I will publish a list of all the stars, over 500. Big job!
Jamie this is so spot on. I might be reading this too superficially but how crazy that both Vance’s wife and K Harris are of Indian descent. And it is all under the spotlight now. I love your work on constellations and stars. Thank you!
Wow, I didn’t realize. Astrology never ceases the amaze me.
The quick penetrating minds are amazing me. The news feeds have actually been fun to read again. It all sprang loose with goodbye Joe, hello Kamala. Quick witted
On the spot Intelligence is Mecurical? And it hits home. Fascinating to me.
