Ol' Regulus isn't doing so well in Virgo along the lines Lutin mentions so far though, what with SCOTUS/Hobby Lobby, and the anti-abortion crew, etc. etc. - and that's just in the USA - never mind the atrocities going on in Africa and Middle East. Maybe the star needs plenty of time to settle in and get up steam - we'd best not hold our breath though, he's a slow, slow mover. <br />:-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-21423232900942022512014-07-03T00:05:34.158-05:002014-07-03T00:05:34.158-05:00LB ~ Maybe so.

It depends what astrology really is and how it "works", which we'll probably never find out - so, as ever: whatever floats our individual boat is what floats our astrological boat. :-)<br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-42663433439965524822014-07-02T18:43:21.631-05:002014-07-02T18:43:21.631-05:00Twilight ~ Maybe the royal stars are still royal b...Twilight ~ Maybe the royal stars are still royal because their significance relates to something that began long ago and which remains essentially unchanged. <br /><br />Not sure if my comment makes sense or not since it's hard to put my sense of it into words. <br /><br />Or maybe they're not royal anymore.:)LBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-51693310987295233632014-07-02T17:37:53.726-05:002014-07-02T17:37:53.726-05:00LB ~ Ah, I didn't mean to imply that because t...LB ~ Ah, I didn't mean to imply that because the once Royal Stars have moved on from their Royal positions that they'd maybe no longer have any<br />significance at all - just that their once regal significance must have dwindled a bit to be more in line with the rest of the Fixed Stars.<br />:-)<br />Thanks for relating your personal experience of two of them. And for the link - I'll investigate. I took a quick look at the first page and notice that at least one the positions stated is a wee bit out of date: Regulus is now, I think, around 00.1 Virgo - into Virgo anyway. It's hard to find reliable information about exact positions, because of their very slow movement.<br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-7974039378514420632014-07-02T15:15:19.009-05:002014-07-02T15:15:19.009-05:00I forgot to add how Marina at Darkstar Astrology h...I forgot to add how Marina at Darkstar Astrology has a lot of great info on the Fixed Stars: http://darkstarastrology.com/fixed-stars/LBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-5967437043571933252014-07-02T15:11:19.588-05:002014-07-02T15:11:19.588-05:00With Fixed Stars Antares and Aldebaran exactly con...With Fixed Stars Antares and Aldebaran exactly conjunct my natal IC and MC respectively, I admit to being prejudiced in favor of their significance. <br /><br />They seem to describe my basic nature, which, much like the tarot's Chariot card, is frequently pulled in two different directions. The challenge of how best to unite and channel these opposing forces, seems to be both an internal and external one.<br /><br />Maybe Fixed Stars, not unlike a lot of other influences, only make themselves felt if choose to answer their call.LBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-2002211409892197612014-07-02T12:13:08.920-05:002014-07-02T12:13:08.920-05:00mike ~ I feel much the same about "overload&q...mike ~ I feel much the same about "overload", but I have noticed that Algol can make itself felt in some natal charts when conjunct a personal planet/point, so I keep an eye out for that possibility. Not saying that it always means doom and gloom, but sometimes just an extra dose of intensity of some kind.<br /><br />I look on the Fixed Stars as more of a curiosity than anything else, and worth investigating as a side issue. <br /><br />Some astrologers do still give Regulus, in particular, "Royal" status, even in modern charts, which is a bit silly when the star has moved from the position which originally gave it that status.
