Thank you so much for this! So clear and helpful and exciting and inspiring and all of the things. To start getting to know some of the constellations I am working on writing poems in the shapes of them :-)
Love and appreciate this Work you are doing and sharing. I laughed out loud at "It doesn't have to be this enormous research project you take on all at once." You have this amazing ability to demonstrate how 'simplified' does not equal 'dumbed down'. I actually know more than I realized, and you've provided a Very Useful Map to help make sense of these travels - thank you! I am going to spend some time getting to know Canis Minor and Procyon now.
I have wanted to learn more about the fixed stars for ages as I believe they do have more energetic influence in some ways than most folks consider. K’ayasOTa (thank you) for this post, it has been most helpful and enjoyable to read!
Excellent guide - I'm not new to this but I still found some useful tips, thank you!
Another question that I find myself asking a lot is, "what is this star all about and how can I embody/bring those traits/ideas/values into this world?"
And fyi I'm grasping onto any little hint you drop about Alphecca in your writings like it's a precious jewel... She's been next on my list of stars to start getting to know for a couple of years now, and I just haven't had the capacity for any new relationships yet! She's conjunct my Lot of Spirit and I'm having all kinds of thoughts about what she might infuse into what's otherwise a fairly Martial calling. Ties nicely into what you and Kira wrote about with the Mars-and-Venus-ruled 5H-11H axis :)
Bec! It makes me really happy that you enjoyed the guide even though you know your way around the fixed stars. The question you shared is beautiful and good 🥹 thank you for that.
I have so, so many thoughts and feelings and personal gnosis-ing about Alphecca. I'll email you if you'd like? I have a top secret project brewing up about Corona Borealis and Alphecca or I'd be sharing way more publicly about this part of the sky that is so dear to my heart.
Of course! I mean, like I'd ever say no to correspondence from you! I've been meaning to email you about other stuff anyway but words are not reliably wording right now and I need to start hitting the books again 🥲
Superb post!!! With my chart full of fixed star conjunctions, oppositions, and trines this was helpful from a study point but really just got direct to my heart as well. And so timely as my devotional journey has continually moved closer to the fixed stars. Notable placements for me are Asc conj Spica and Asc, Alphecca conj Jupiter, Fomalhaut conj Saturn (and saturn conj moon lol). Thank you for this!!
Thank you so much! Jupiter conjunct Alphecca 🥹♥️ I don’t have favorites but if I did… and the other conjunctions are also very !!! so much richness there.
Thank you fr!! Richness is really the world, I feel like the stars are slowly showing me my own story and the ways the Divine and I have always known each other. It's beautiful!
Such a great post, Maeg! I've long held off on getting too pulled into the fixed stars because it seemed overwhelming, but this feels like an accessible, low pressure way to begin.
A question - Do you give a wider orb for conjunctions of fixed stars with the Moon?
Thanks, Susheela! It's so good to hear this felt approachable. That was the hope!
For your question, yeah, I think you can use a wider orb for the Moon if you'd like, just like you might for planet-to-planet conjunctions. Some people also give wider orbs for the brightest stars, which is something you can consider playing with too.
