Leo Constellation [Stellarium]

The Sun joins Regulus on August 22

Fixed star Regulus, Alpha Leonis, is a multiple star system located in the heart of the Lion, Leo Constellation. Combined magnitude 1.35, spectral type B8, color blue-white.

Regulus appears singular but is a quadruple star system composed of four stars that are organized into two pairs: Regulus A (a spectroscopic binary) and Regulus BC. As shown below, the light output of the star system is dominated by Regulus A:

  • Regulus A, magnitude 1.40, spectral type B8 IVn.
  • Regulus B, magnitude 8.13, spectral type K2 V.
  • Regulus C, magnitude 13.5, spectral type M4 V.

The traditional name Regulus is Latin for ‘prince‘ or ‘little king.’ In Arabic, it is قلب الأسد (Qalb al-Asad, ‘the heart of the lion‘), the same as the Latin Cor Leōnis and Greek Kardia Leontos.

In Chinese, it is 轩辕十四, the Fourteenth Star of Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor. In Babylonian, it was Sharru, ‘the King,‘ and LUGAL, ‘the star that stands in the breast of the Lion: the King.’

In Persian, it was Miyan, ‘the Centre,‘ andPersian monarchy’s  Venant, one of ththe Persian monarchy, where in 3,000 BC, as the Watcher of the North, it marked the summer solstice.

Symbolically the Crushing Foot, Regulus is associated with the healing Archangel Raphael, one of the four Archangel stars, characterized as the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse (Revelations 6) and Chariot Horses in the Book of Zechariah (The White went North).

Regulus Astrology

Ptolemy (100 BC) said Regulus was like Mars and Jupiter. Anonymous (379 AD) [5] said Jupiter and Mars. The spectral type of the main star (Regulus A) is B8, indicating a Jupiter nature. The secondary star (Regulus B) has a K2 spectra which indicates a Mars nature. Regulus A is about six times brighter than Regulus B.

REGULUS. α Lonis. A trip triple star is situated on the Lion’s bodyrine, situated on the body of the Lion. From Regulus, a Little King, and often called Cor Leonis, the Lion’s Heart, and symbolically the Crushing Foot. It was one of the four Royal Stars of the Persians in 3,000 B.C., when, as Watcher of the North, it marked the summer solstice.

According to Ptolemy, it is of the nature of Mars and Jupiter, but most later authors liken it to Mars only, while Alvidas states that it is similar to the Sun in good aspect to Uranus. It gives violence, destructiveness, military honor of short duration, with ultimate failure, imprisonment, violent death, success, high and lofty ideals and strength of spirit, and makes its natives magnanimous, grandly liberal, generous, ambitious, fond of power, desirous of command, high-spirited and independent.

Regulus was one of the fifteen Behenian Fixed Stars, associated with granite, mugwort, celandine, mastic and the kabbalistic symbol Agrippa1531 corLeonis.png. Its image is a lion, cat, or an honorable person seated in a chair. It makes the wearer temperate, gives favor and appeases wrath. [1]

REGULUS. α Leonis. A triple star, white and light blue. (B8). This star imparts to its natives martial honors, great authority, success, a fondness for power and authority, the ability to command, a native who appears to be grandly liberal, high-spirited native, independence, benefits that seldom last, victory over enemies, scandalous actions, turbulence (violence), failures and greatness that suffers an eclipse.

NOTE: Nativities having Regulus in conjunction with their celestial objects generally “leave their mark” on posterity, however there is always the danger, if they are in public view, of public dissatisfaction hovering over them, and in particular if the nativity is in conjunction with the star Alphard[6]

Regulus. Alpha Leonis, 1st Magnitude. Regulus, the Little King in the Heart of the Lion, called the Royal Star, may convey royal properties, noble mind, frankness, and courage. The importance of this fixed star is accentuated by its nearness to the ecliptic. Its effect is in the best sense that of Jupiter and Mars. When Mars or Saturn is in  with Regulus, especially exciting events are always recorded, e.g., assasinstions, coup d’états, revolutions, the overthrow of heads of state and similar events. [2]

Regulus is one of the most fortunate stars in the heavens. It portends glory, riches, and power to all who are born under its influence. Proclus (412-485) called Regulus the “Royal Star” and asserted that those born under it have a royal-like nativity. In judicial astrology, however, the dimming of the star presaged evil times. A Ninevite tablet, according to R.A. Allen, states: “If the star of the great lion is gloomy, the heart of the people will not rejoice.” [4]

Regulus rules two inches below the top of the kidneys. [3]

Regulus marks the beginning of the 8th nakshatra (Hindu lunar mansion), Magha (the bountiful): A severe asterism belonging to the Shudra caste and favorable for acts of disgrace, destruction, deceit, imprisonment, beating, burning and poison when containing the Moon. Those born on the lunar day will be wealthy, fond of hills, merchants, valiant, and women haters. With Moon here at birth, the native will be wealthy, religious, contented, well-served, and fond of life. Rules grain boxes and the lips and upper mouth.

Regulus also marks the beginning of the 8th manzil (Arabic lunar mansion): The Forehead. Strengthens buildings, promotes love, benevolence, and help against enemies. With Moon here, sow, plant, release prisoners but take no purgatives.

Leo Constellation

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.” [1]

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.

Fixed Star Regulus Conjunctions

Ascendant conjunct Regulus: Military honor and preferment. Great honor and wealth, but violence and trouble, sickness, fevers, acute disease, benefits seldom last, favor of the great, victory over enemies and scandal.

The 145th Consideration of Guido Bonnets is as follows: -” That thou see in Diurnal Nativities whether Cor Leonis be in the Ascendant, that is to say, in the Oriental Line or above it one degree or below it three degrees; or whether it be in the tenth in like degrees, without the Conjunction or Aspect of any of the Fortunes, for this alone signifies that the Native shall be a person of great note and power, too much exalted, and attain to high preferment and honors, although descended from the meanest parents. And, if any of the Fortunes behold that place also, his glory shall be the more increased; but, if the Nativity be nocturnal, his fortune will be somewhat meaner, but not much; but if the Infortunes cast their aspects there it will still be more mean; but if the Fortunes behold it also they will augment the good promised a fourth part, and mitigate the evil as much; yet still, whatever of all this happens, it signifies that the Native shall die an unhappy death; or at least that all his honors, greatness and power shall at last suffer an eclipse and set in a cloud. [1]

On the Ascendant, it will give a courageous and frank character, especially if in conjunction with the Sun, Moon, Jupiter or Mercury. [2]

A splendid and illustrious life; glorious, mighty and commanding nature; fame, busy with many activities, bountiful resources, well known or feared in cities and regions. Prosperity from youth and in own city. Illustrious generals who subjugate regions and cities and peoples, govern, are inclined to act, are submissive, speak frankly, have a taste for fighting, and carry out their purposes. They are effective, virile, victorious, harm their enemies, are opulent and perhaps very rich, big-minded and ambitious, and they generally do not die a happy death; moreover, lovers of hunting, connoisseurs and owners of horses and quadrupeds.

Midheaven conjunct Regulus: Military honor and preferment. Honor, preferment, good fortune, high office under Government, military success. If with Sun, Moon or Jupiter, great honor and ample fortune. [1]

Positioned on the Meridian, Regulus will raise the native to high positions in life, positions far exceeding the environment the native was born into. According to tradition, this configuration will bring with it connections with rulers, honorable people or famous people if the cosmogram as a whole points to this possibility. An old saying goes that Regulus in the tenth house “makes astrologers to kings, people in high positions and noble men.” Regulus culminating is not only a good omen for a military career, but also for careers connected with the public, such as lawyers, civil servants, bankers and the clergy, especially if Regulus is also conjunct one of the lights (Sun or Moon) or with a benefic stellar body.

Sun conjunct Regulus: Power, authority, great influence over friends, honor and riches, but violence, trouble and ultimate disgrace and ruin, sickness, fevers, benefits seldom last. [1]

This star imparts to its natives great honours, power and authority, high government or business is possible, great influence over friends. Natives with this conjunction should exercise caution else they be subject to troubles and possible ruin. Natives with a negatively aspected Sun must exercise greater caution else they be subjected not only to ruin but also to disgrace, violence and many troubles – – any benefits they have gained will seldom last. [6]

Moon conjunct Regulus: Occult interests, powerful friends, danger from enemies and false friends, gain by speculation, public prominence, great power, honor, wealth, benefits seldom last, violence, trouble and sickness. It makes women high-spirited and independent. If at the same time, the Sun is with the Dragon’s Head in Gemini, or Jupiter is in the 10th house in trine to Mars and the Sun is with the Dragon’s Head, great preferment even from the lowest sphere to high rank. [1]

The native can gain great public acceptance but must work to keep it; these natives can gain friends in important places; gain by speculation, receive honors, wealth and authority. The native will be high-spirited and independent. Positively aspected natives may expect lasting fame or lasting public acceptance. Negatively aspected natives have much of the same attributes but must also work to keep any gains they made; they may also gain friends in important places and may also receive honors and gain wealth. These natives will be subject to danger from friends or enemies or friends who turn out to be false friends. They are subject to violence, accidents, and chronic, difficult-to-diagnose or possibly serious illness. These natives are continually ‘striving,’ but they can go so high and no higher. Some of these natives may become famous as ‘promoters,’ ‘operators,’ or simply good salesmen. A mental restlessness exists. [6]

A splendid and illustrious life; great, distinguished and opulent nature. [5]

The native may experience fame, receive high honors, gain public prominence; a strong evidence of strength of character may exhibit itself. The native is subject to accidents, or accidental or sudden death, unless caution is exercised. [6]

0°30′ orb: This is one who takes command and gives orders. These persons work well in the military and can achieve high goals and honors here. The commanding personality extends even to their love life, since everyone is merely a stepping stone for their pleasures and ego. [3]

When Mars or Saturn is in conjunction with Regulus, especially exciting events are always recorded, e.g., assassinations, coup d’états, revolutions, revolts, demonstrations, the overthrow of heads of state and similar events. [2]

Sun conjunct Mars conjunct Regulus (0°30′ orb): This does create quite a problem. These natives are like pompous kings strutting around and showing their importance. They are always in a position of authority, and they demand total recognition for their achievements and abilities. They like to catch others off guard and show off their superiority. They do not know what the word “humble” means. Their drive and needs are extreme and overpowering. They strive to go to the very top in the military. These individuals are simply out of touch with everything except for the acknowledgment of their authority. The Sun and Mars in conjunction here does affect the health. These persons have too much energy pumping through the heart, and later on in life when they no longer have the vitality to feed this, the heart loses some of its elasticity and strength at which time a critical point is reached. Only a few make it past sixty years of age. They could increase their lifespan if they learn to be humble, but they would have to start early in life. [3]

Jupiter conjunct Regulus: Fame, high preferment, especially of a military nature, success in the Church. [1]

Native is subject to fame, high preferment, especially in the military or government; however, greatness and power will suffer an eclipse. A general lack of self-control not readily apparent could evidence itself by bottled emotions. [6]

Jupiter conjunct Regulus is one of the best configurations for success. People like this can reach high positions, positions of trust, preferment, favor and fortune. Riches and power can easily come to these natives. [2]

Ray Bradbury 0°20′, Bill Maher 0°28′ (and Pluto), Bill Gates 1°26′ (and Pluto), Keith Richards 2°00′.

Saturn conjunct Regulus: Just, friends among the clergy, success in Church or law, scholarly, wealth, gain through speculation, companies and friends, high position, proud of home and family, good health, heart trouble at end of life. If angular and especially if rising or culminating, public honor and credit. If Mars be with the Pleiades, violent death in a tumult. [1]

When Mars or Saturn is in conjunction with Regulus, especially exciting events are always recorded, e.g., assassinations, coup d’états, revolutions, revolts, demonstrations, the overthrow of heads of state and similar events. [2]

Billy Joel 0°14′, Alan Leo 0°17′ (and AC), Volodymyr Zelenskyy 0°43′, Emmanuel Macron 0°55′

Uranus conjunct Regulus: Energetic, ambitious, successful, may be unjust or dishonorable, self-aggrandizement, high official position, panders to aristocracy, associated with religion for business purposes, gain through speculation and companies, favorable for marriage, sorrow through death of daughter and disappointment through a son; friends become enemies at end of life, may retire and live in seclusion, violent death through accident or assassination. [1]

These persons strive to be leaders and almost make it to the top of their objective. They like to be in government positions in order to control masses of people. Support comes their way on the road to success, but just when they begin to feel the glory of success, someone causes their downfall. Something always happens so that they lose the confidence of their superiors, or the public will lose confidence in the individual. This happens abruptly and with surprise, and of course, affects the ego tremendously. [3]

The list below investigates “sorrow through death of daughter.” This has been the case historically but not in modern times. The historic deaths were from illnesses that have now been eradicated or are treatable:

  • Don Marquis 0°12′ (and Mercury). His only daughter, Barbara, died of pneumonia at age 13, and his only son, Robert, died at age 6.
  • Jennifer Jason Leigh 0°17′. One son was born in 2010. No daughters.
  • Garth Brooks 0°22′. Three daughters were born in 1992, 1994, and 1996. One of them has given him a grandchild.
  • Eddie Izzard 0°22′. No children.

Henriette died of smallpox at age 24, and Louise-Élisabeth died of smallpox at age 32. His third child, Marie Louise, died of the common cold aged 4. Louis XV was “devastated” over her death as she was the first of his children to die. His fourth child and first son Louis, died of tuberculosis aged 36, also while his father was still alive. His fifth child, Philippe, died at age 2. Next, Adélaïde lived to age 67, Victoire to 66, and Sophie to 47. His seventh daughter and ninth legitimate child, Thérèse, died of smallpox aged 8. Next, his son Louise lived to age 50. His illegitimate children mostly live long lives.

  1. would 29 degrees vertex in leo be vertex conjuct regulus? also, is that a good thing?

  2. Regulus moved into Virgo in September of 2011 by the way. I think this is a huge deal for humanity, but I know you don’t put a ton of focus into the Zodiac. I have Jupiter/Mars at 0/2 degrees Virgo (Tropical) respectively, and in September 2011, I decided to transition gender from male to female. I always found this to be a very interesting correlation as the ruling star is now in a feminine sign. Regulus will be conjunct my natal Jupiter in 34 years. I can’t wait to see what happens!

    • Hi Zeronom. I remember that year well because I lost my sex drive and definitely felt less masculine. It was associated with illness as I had colon cancer then. But it also coincided with transiting Neptune opposite my Mars. I also have Mars conjunct Regulus.

      So it is worth considering the influence of transiting Neptune opposite natal Mars. I tend to believe the Regulus is still the same. Neptune has more likely dissolved some of our masculinity.

      • Yeah, I had a wild few years from 2011-2013 as Neptune opposed my Jupiter and Mars in Virgo. I was exploring my feminine side that had been repressed and was also being initiated to a visionary world of psychedelic potential. But I’ve since come down to Earth, and in reality I’ve swung back to a balanced gender identity, although I still feel more comfortable presenting female. In many ways I had to fully embrace my inner feminine to regain my masculinity if that makes sense. But I’ve been dealing with gender troubles since I was 13, so it was a necessary volcanic explosion for me. Thanks for running a great site!

  3. Hi Jaime, I too have Rahu conjunct Mars & Jupiter. Rahu/Mars 27 degrees Leo, Jupiter 0 degree Virgo. (Jupiter on Regulus in 2011) I too has a handicapping neck issue and surgery all beginning in 2011. I’m well now (although quite caring of my health), and hopefully you as well. I am curious to learn any wealth, work, inheritance of power/leadership positions you may like to share regarding these natal planet positions in common? Or anything related to those positions you find interesting in your life?

  4. I’m new to fixed stars. I did some research and found that Regulus moved into Virgo on 11/29/2011 and will stay there for over 2,000 years. This is huge so I wondered what this means personally for those with planets in Virgo. I have Sun 1°36, Mercury 3°46, Venus 0°57 and Ascendant 10°54 in Virgo. Having Regulus in a tight conjunction with Sun, Mercury and Venus in the 1st house might mean stepping into my own power in some way. I would guess that anyone having planets in Virgo in any house will be affected by Regulus move into Virgo. For example, in the 4th house it might mean taking more of a lead role in the home and with family, in the 11th being a community leader. This is new and unchartered territory for Virgos since they are so used to serving quietly in the background. It’s also Interesting that this date has 3 elevens in it. I like looking at dates from a numerology perspective.

  5. That’s a pretty big Easter Egg you’ve found, and its not even Easter!

  6. Hi Cristina – You may be new to fixed stars, but as far as I’m concerned you’ve nailed it with your thoughts on Regulus in Virgo. I had never looked at that question in exactly the same way as you did, before now.
    I have asteroid Juno at 0Vir13, which means she’s been conjunct Regulus (though out of sign) since I was born. My significant other has his Sun on Regulus. We have both learned lessons in humility (and service) since 2011, particularly in my case.
    Regulus is still in my 9th house, and my sig other still has it in house 6 (the Virgo house – coming home in 2011?)!
    I also like looking at dates from the numerology perspective! 11 is strongly represented in all of my life.
    Gerald, I see that you have found a few more 11’s (23:22 UTC = 11:22 PM too). I live in unit 22 in a housing complex…
    You have both given me much food for thought, and I thank you for that!

    Although Jamie doesn’t particularly mention it, Regulus is sometimes considered to be the most royal of the four royal stars or Watchers, even though it is not the brightest of them. I suppose the fact that it’s right on the ecliptic, or perhaps it’s due to Proclus, that this was said. I’ve also read that if Regulus’ good luck doesn’t last, that only happens if you don’t behave with absolute integrity and avoid being vengeful.

    So, since 29 November 2011, all four of the Watchers are now in mutable signs.

  7. Char, I see a heavenly screed coming with Regulus. For the first 588 years it’s in the 12 house, before contacting the Ascendant. I didn’t know this until now… Look up the meaning for code 588.

  8. The meaning for code 588 that I like best equates the 5 with freedom, change, evolution, mobility; 8 with power, ambition, balance, realisation (this came from crazy-numbers.com, quite an interesting website).
    If you add 588 to 2011, you get the year 2599. Now this is a bit evocative – it’s nearly 2600. I wonder if we’ll still be using our current dating system then??
    The symbolism of 8 reminds me of 8th house stuff, Scorpio, Pluto… all strongly represented in my chart.
    555 is very often used in movies as a prefix for phone numbers. I wonder why? When I adopted 555 as part of my calling card, I was working on a movie script. I never got very far because I started describing the title sequence, which involved stars and constellations – which became my passion and eclipsed all my other interests and hobbies.
    Being on the ecliptic, Regulus is often eclipsed by the Moon…

  9. That’s interesting. I have Ascendant in Virgo 10°54 and Vertex in Aquarius 12°32 on cusp of 6th.

  10. My previous comment was in reference to Gerald’s post about the chart of the Trinity. About the Vertex in my natal chart being in the same sign, house and degree as that chart. Also having my Ascendant in the same sign and close to the same degree as that chart. Interesting.

  11. Hi Char555…Thanks for your kind words. My thoughts came from developing a deeper understanding of astrology and from my intuition.

    It’s interesting that you have Regulus in your 9th and your significant other has it in his 6th. Both are numbers of service in numerology. The difference is that the 9’s service is more on a universal level, more about going out into the world and helping humanity. 6’s service stays more within their immediate community. Also, the master numbers, 11 and 22, in numerology play a role in service. They are more of a higher frequency of 2 and 4 and serve in more a spiritual way than a practical way.

    I’ve read that too about Regulus’s benefits not lasting unless the person behaves with integrity. I think it’s both a blessing and a curse to have Regulus at such a lucky position in the natal chart. There’s a lot of responsibility that goes along with it and it can be hard to live up to sometimes.

    It’s also interesting that you mention that 4 royal stars are now in mutable signs. Astrologers are saying that Jupiter and Saturn’s move into Aquarius will cause people to be more open-minded and flexible, which is also a trait of the mutable signs. Aquarius is also a humanitarian sign, so the theme of service comes up once again. So there’s a big theme of service represented not only in our natal charts, but for everyone in the constantly shifting energy of the planets and stars.

  12. Since I replied to you, Gerald, I found another meaning for your code 588. Unfortunately my aged memory has lost this thought, but I have a feeling you know what it is. Was it in some way connected with a messianic figure? Do tell.

  13. Hi Char,
    Looking at the Regulus chart with March 18 transiits

    https://postimg.cc/rRFJp366

    Casual observations…
    – the Neptune involved with Sun and Venus. So be careful of that, like your question.
    – Lunar Node reversal, ie. the truth of this chart meets a subaltern Sedna.
    – there’s Lilith again. Open up the orbs to see it trine with Pluto, a little easier to talk about with Mercury transit Pisces.

  14. Thank you, Gerald.
    Surprised about the position of Mars…
    Neptune – Sun – Venus. Potential oops.
    I see that I’m having a Mars return right now. In 7th house. Rampaging around, still. Involving Lilith – the Virgo ingress Lilith is opposite my natal Lilith. Didn’t know I could be such a BITCH… maybe not even in a good way.
    Virgo ingress Sedna quite close to Algol.

  15. Hi Cristina – So sorry it took me such ages to reply to you. Things are fraught with me, just as they are with so very many others right now.
    My life, taken as a whole, has been a bit frantic and strange. As I subscribe to the theory that I made quite a detailed sort of plan for myself before coming into incarnation, I don’t even have the comfort of blaming anyone but myself!
    Well, a month or two ago I was raging at myself, asking what I was THINKING when I made my current life plan, when I received feed-back!!
    This “entity” (??) appeared and told me what was going on.
    “You can think of me as a Pleiadian type of energy, or at least like your kind think of Pleiadians, though I am not actually from the Pleiades”, he/she said.
    “When you were preparing for your current incarnation, you made a contract with us to experience as many diverse things as possible. We were to be allowed to monitor you and learn about human reactions to many different situations. Your astrological chart can tell you about the many ways in which you agreed to present the information to us, for example prominent Scorpionic features for depth and with Mercury in Virgo for precision and details.”
    Well, there you go. I suppose that could be about service too. It all makes sense to me. Your comments have helped, thank you again.

    In case you think I’m a delusional nut, that’s your prerogative. It was very difficult for me to post the above. But I thought, what the heck; there are probably many others who’ve had similar experiences and maybe it needed to be said.

    I’ve never really thought of Aquarius as open-minded and flexible – or perhaps that’s due to the individual Aquarians that I know. Aqr is a fixed sign, ruled by Saturn originally. I think it needs wild and explosive Uranus to dislodge some of its very fixed ideas! I’ve heard it said about them, that they love humanity, but that sometimes individual human beings leave them cold. – I really enjoy talking to them!

  16. Hi Char,

    No need to apologize. You replied when the time was right or sometimes I like to say when the time was “ripe”. Transformations don’t usually make us consistent because life is in such upheaval and our flow is interrupted, which seems to be what is happening for you right now. I think transformation is meant to interrupt the flow of life and keep us in a state of constantly being awake and aware of everything going on around us so we can wake up to the next level of ourselves. Huge growth is happening on a spiritual, mental and emotional level.

    Are you a water sign or have a lot of the water element in your natal chart? Water signs are the most connected to their emotions and can feel the spirit world around them, making it easy for them to access it. Even if you have very little or no water in your chart, you have learned to connect with the spirit world and this is why an entity appeared before you.

    I have almost no water in my chart, but have connected with deceased loved ones over time. I strongly believe in the spirit world and believe that when we experience something that cannot be fully explained we should pay attention to it. In no way do I think you are a delusional nut! Your experience with the spirit world has helped me to see things in a different way and I’m sure has helped others who found their way to your comment here.

    I think your entity showed up to guide you through your transformation. That your transformation is part of your contract and that astrology is part of the details of that contract. That you have free will in how to respond to what is in your contract, using the astrological tools you were given in your natal chart.

    Side note about Aquarians: I’ve always been a little confused about the general description of Aquarius. They are known as a fixed sign, but I’ve also seen them described as humanitarian, open-minded, flexible and unconventional. I’ve also heard that they get along great with groups of people, but individual relationships are challenging for them. The Aquarians I’ve known were well-liked and easy to talk to, but I’ve never known any that were unconventional. Maybe they become flexible and open-minded when dealing with larger groups of people, rather than when they are dealing with one-on-one relationships. I think it depends on each individual natal chart.

  17. Karl Jaspers was a bit of an historian, among other credentials. Searching for clues in the cycles of civilizations. He is known for his work on discovering what he called the Axial Age.

    From several years ago, the Axial Age chart still resides in my astrology data base: May 8, 577 BCE. An orphan

    With this new (to me) information, what if Jaspers 48435 fits into the chart, and actually use it in a rectification?

    It does and it does. Conjunct Regulus (April 28), and move it to the nearest New Moon (April 30)

  19. I totally agree with “Pluto conjunct Regulus: Makes activists in relation to human rights and suspicion about what big government and corporations are hiding” My Pluto is 1 Virgo which has now progressed to 0 Virgo and its conjunct my 28 Leo Midheaven. My Regulus sits at 29 Leo 1 degree from Pluto and 1 degree from Midheaven). This has fated my life as a dream walker since birth to see behind the scenes (veils) and totally be awake in dreaming since birth. Pluto has been my one benefactor in my life (saving me from death many times within my fate / destiny (NN 12th in Scorpio conj jup/neptune) within 4 degrees.

    When Regulus shifted into Virgo in 2012 my entire “game” in life shifted to my side as a collective shaman, I took the beatings so to speak up to that point in my life to pay off my karma this lifetime. Regulus also no longer serves the masculine (patriarch) and now their benefactor has changed to the feminine. Virgo has a very powerful and very deep past, and you cannot find that in astrological history nor astronomy history because those are his stories. When you follow the dreamer languages of her (image, art, ancient art, weaving the goddesses together in many culutres), one sees that virgo was the earthly foundation of heaven, or mandate of heaven as the daoist call it but without men’s gifts of power and war. But with heavens power of magic, transformation, death and rebirth.

  20. My Saturn is at 24°45 and Regulus at 29°31 both in 10th house. Is it still conjunction??

  23. My progressed MC appears to be at 29’48” Leo, so exactly Regulus. (Natally, I have Uranus at 22 Leo.) What – if anything – would that portend?
    (Previously, it was at 29 Cancer – the “millionaires’ degree”. SPOILER: I did not become a millionaire. :D)
    BTW, natally, I have two anaretic degrees: the Sun at Pisces 29, and Venus at Aries 29; and my Saturn is at Capricorn 27.
    I’ve been called – often worshipped as – “unusual” all my life; but my life certainly has been unusual in that “fate” has somehow deprived me not only of what “should” have been mine, but even of the most common experiences. My love life practically ended at 30. But it’s a long and very complicated story.)

    Anyway, I believe the impact of Regulus may be highly overrated. You would expect it to feature prominently in the chart of Napoleon I or Hitler – two examples of blazing ascent to unimaginable power and honours (however short-lived). Or Mussolini’s. Or Stalin’s. Or JFK’s (not just his wife’s). In the charts of all sorts of powerful and/or honoured figures. But very few seem to have it – and even fewer of those seem to be associated with political/military power.

    Thank you for any reply, everyone/anyone. 😉

    • Hey 🙂 My love life ended at 30 too. I have Sun conjunct Regulus. Moon conjunct Antares, MC conjunct Fomalhaut, Venus conjunct Sirius, Mars conjunct Spica and Saturn conjunct Alkaid. You’d expect them to do something wouldn’t you? I’ve never managed to earn enough money to be independent and have always struggled to make ends meet. I’m 42, single, poor, isolated, in bad health and seriously questioning any of these so called royal or the behenian fixed stars having any beneficence or power to override a crap chart at all. I reckon I can confirm their maleficence though.

    You are still very yong (even if it doesn’t feel that way); I do hope that whatever presents the “planets” forget to leave at your door, they do from now on. 🙂

  28. I have natal Regulus in Leo @29/22 in 7th house trine with Galactic Center in 12th house @26/23 and MC in Libra @28/58. Is this good? What does it mean? It sounds like I will be honored by the military. (I am writing a war book.) I do have it square to my north node in the 5th house of Taurus. That doesn’t sound good. I am worried about transiting Regulus in Virgo in 8th.

  29. Interesting. I always believed I was a Leo born on the 23rd August, but I discovered last few years, with my date in 1964 I was around 8 hours into being virgo. Then I get informed last few months that i have spent time on Regulus as a starseed, and claimed my lion back. But now the lion star has become the virgin, and also the 23 my birthdate is the number for regulus as a royal star. It was conjunct in the sun and house 9, could you tell me any more than that, only recently been looking into astrology. Thanks Paul.

  30. With fixed stars there is focus about conjunctions and then maybe oppositions so I am afraid to ask this but what does it mean to have Regulus square sun? It’s at 0 degrees. Does it grant the opppsite of what regulus shows normally- unfortunate, indignity? Can anyone tell me please?

  31. Maya, the only exception I’ve ever heard of about this “conjunctions, maybe oppositions” rule for fixed stars, applied to Algol, certainly not to Regulus.
    I think you can feel quite safe from any bad vibes. Even squares are not necessarily bad. They give you energy.

    • Thank you very much char555! That’s nice to hear, one less worry but I still have alcyone conjunct sun exact. The descriptions to that are…concerning. I think they are gloomy because in the past they had a more fatalistic view of things. One can only hope so. 🙂
