The Sun joins Ras Elased Borealis on August 13

Ras Elased Borealis, Mu Leonis, is a 4th magnitude single star in the head of the Lion, constellation Leo.

Magnitude 3.88, spectral class K2III.^[1]

Mu Leonis is officially named Rasalas. ^[2]Applied in recent times from an abbreviation of its Arabic name رأس الأسد الشمالي ra’s al-‘asad aš-šamālī, “the northern star of the lion’s head.” As originally apllied, μ Leo was “Rasalasad Borealis” (abbreviated in the first Western astronomical source as “Rasalas. Bor.,” for a lack of space in the line), and ε Leo was “Rasalasad Australis”.^[3]

μ and ε were Al Ashfār, the Eyebrows; but, singly, the Arabians designated μ as Al Rās al Asad al Shamāliyy, the Lion’s Head towards the South, which, by abbreviation, has become Rasalas in modern lists; and sometimes, but very insufficiently, plain Alshemali. Al Nasr al Dīn mentioned ε and μ as “a whip’s length apart,” a common expression for measurement among the Arabs, here indicating a little more than 2°. ^[4]

Ras Elased Borealis Astrology

Fixed star Ras Elased Borealis has the spectral class K2 which indicates the planetary nature of Mars.

These stars Asad Australis (sometimes called Algenubi) and Asad Borealis are in the Lion’s head. Ptolemy gave them the nature of Saturn and Mars but the former is spectrally as the Sun. These stars are said to indicate those with an appreciation for language and a power of expression, but also those who may be heartless and cruel. ^[5]

This star is not used as much in astrology as Ras Elased Australis. If used, though, it gives the quality of looking carefully at a situation before forging ahead into it. ^[6]

Constellation Leo

Ptolemy makes the following observations: “Of the stars in Leo, two in the head are like Saturn and partly like Mars. The three in the neck are like Saturn, and in some degree like Mercury. . . . Those in the loins . . . Saturn and Venus: those in the thighs resemble Venus, and, in some degree, Mercury.” It is said that the stars in the neck, back and wing all bring trouble, disgrace and sickness affecting the part of the body ruled by the sign, especially if they happen to be in conjunction with the Moon. By the Kabalists, Leo is associated with the Hebrew letter Kaph and the 11th Tarot Trump “Strength.” ^[5]

In mundane astrology, Leo Constellation is associated with royal events especially the ascension or death of kings and queens, the election or death of heads of state, assassinations uprisings and massacres, currency and the stock exchange, the Vatican and European Union.
