Sagittarius, the Archer, Star Names Their Lore and Meaning, Richard Hinckley Allen, 1963. The other stars making up the constellation’s bow are Delta Sagittarii (Kaus Media) and Lambda Sagittarii (Kaus Borealis). Also known as Lambda Sagittarii, Kaus Borealis is an orange sub-giant star around 80 light years from Earth, the star is around 11 times larger in radius than the sun. Dreyer calls it bright, small, round, and partially resolved (2 Rs). The star’s name “Kaus Australis” was formally accepted by the International Astronomical Union in 2016. [2], Mercury conjunct Kaus Borealis: Anthony Hopkins 0°50′, Paul Cézanne 1°04′, Mars conjunct Kaus Borealis: Kirk Douglas 0°52′, Ronald Reagan 1°04′, Jupiter conjunct Kaus Borealis: Promoter of idealistic and humane ideas. Add one degree per 72 years to correct for. Ptolemy states: “The stars at the point of the arrow have an effect like that of Mars and the Moon; those on the bow and at the grip of the hand like that of Jupiter and Mars; the cluster in the forehead like that of the Sun and Mars; those in the cloak and in the back resemble Jupiter, and to a lesser degree like Mercury; the stars in the feet have a nature akin to that of Jupiter and Saturn; and the quadrangle upon the tail like Venus, and to a lesser degree like Saturn.” [3]. Nash Also known as Gamma Sagittarii, Nash is an orange giant star around 100 light years from … One other interesting name for the star comes from China, where the star forms part of an asterism known as “Ji “, which is made up of the stars Gamma Sagittarii, Delta Sagittarii, Eta Sagittarii, and Epsilon Sagittarii. With Moon: Buy cattle, hunt but do not marry. Then the fire was Nov 11th/12th 2018..but check wiki..then the synnastry between these charts shows…the trouble. It inclined to fruitfulness, a character assigned to it as far back as the Babylonian inscriptions; and was a fortunate sign. Polis • Constellation: Sagittarius Fixed star Kaus Borealis, Lambda Sagittarii, is a 2.8 magnitude yellow star that marks the top of the Archer’s bow in Sagittarius Constellation.The traditional name Kaus Borealis comes from the Arabic word قوس (qaws) which means Bow, and the Latin word boreālis which means Northern. Lambda Sagittarii (λ Sgr, λ Sagittarii) is the Bayer designation for a star within the southern constellation of Sagittarius.The star marks the top of the Archer's bow, whence its traditional name Kaus Borealis.The name Kaus Borealis comes from the Arabic قوس qaws 'bow' and Latin boreālis 'northern'. – Kaus Borealis (Lambda Sagittarii) is an orange giant (K1+IIIb) 77 light years distant of magnitude 2.82. All fixed star positions are for the year 2000. The Venera program: Interplanetary probes from behind the Iron Curtain. Spiculum This star, together with Gamma Sagittarii, Delta Sagittarii, Epsilon Sagittarii, Lambda Sagittarii, Sigma Sagittarii, Tau Sagittarii and Phi Sagittarii comprise the Teapot asterism.

Kaus Media, Delta Sagittarii (δ Sgr) is an orange giant star located in the constellation Sagittarius. The constellation’s brightest stars — delta, epsilon, zeta, phi, lambda, gamma-2, sigma and tau Sagittarii — form a star pattern, or asterism, called the Teapot. I would be interested to see this chart. [1], Promoter of idealistic and humane ideas. Ptolemy does not appear to have included this star, having so many to chose from in this Constellation, but if he had then he could well have classed it as a Mercury-Mars type. But the Archer and his bow are now firmly established, so we stick with Kaus Borealis for our purposes here. Helps in besieging cities, taking towns, driving men from their places, destruction of seamen and captives. Its presence in the disc would explain the higher than expected optical linear polarization of light from the system at this distance, since the secondary star’s light would be scattered by dust in the disc.
