Polaris Astrology

The spectral class F7 suggests a planetary nature of Mercury and to a lesser extent Sun.

Polaris is of the nature of Saturn and Venus. It causes much sickness, trouble, loss of fortune,
disgrace and great affliction, and may give legacies and inheritances attended by much evil.

The Pole Star is the main star of the small Bear situated on the Tail, has a Saturn nature, combined
with qualities of the Sun and Venus. It might seem strange to include this fixed star here, as its
latitude is about 60° and therefore placed far outside of the ecliptic in which the planets move.
Measured on the ecliptic, it is situated closely conjunct with Alpha Orionis, Betelgeuse, the main star
of Orion.

α Ursae Minoris. A double star, spectral class F8, yellow and white, in the tail of the Bear. This star
imparts to its natives’ many problems, illness, romantic, domestic, and other losses. Native
continually strives to get ahead, and make gains. Native is shameless and can be of a revolting
character, subject to tragedies and chronic, difficult-to-diagnose or possibly serious illness. A
continual delaying action plagues some of these natives. Recognition comes late.

The Chinese considered the Pole Star as “the great honorable Lord of the Heavens.” In a relevant
position in the natal chart, it gives spiritual powers to the bearer, who will be highly respected. The
Pole Star serves as a guide and indicator. If it is conjunction planets in the angles, the native will have
a good sense of discretion and is able to follow his or her instincts. The native clearly recognizes his
or her aims and will pursue and achieve them.

Polaris, α Ursa Minoris, the Pole Star, is not as bright as we may think, It is still easy to find by
following up a line through the lower and upper stars at the end of the pan part of the Dipper.
Ptolemy gives it a Saturn-Venus rating, entirely right for the star which serves so well to guide us in
our wanderings, and that is just what it tells us about people when we find it strong on their
horoscopes. According to its aspects, they are excellent or not so good at receiving and giving
guidance but give it they always will, and to any and all who will listen.
