Altair

Alpha Aquilae. Altair is the brightest star in the constellation Aquila.

Below is a delineation of Altair as found in Anne Wilson’s encyclopedia of fixed stars.

“General influence of the star: It confers a bold, confident, valiant, unyielding, ambitious and liberal nature, great and sudden but ephemeral wealth, and a position of command, makes its natives guilty of bloodshed, and gives danger from reptiles. (Robson).

Associated with immoderate ambition. (Larousse Encyclopedia of Astrology).

Tied up with benefic stellar bodies, Altair is credited with bestowing hardiness, courage and generosity, especially if on the Ascendant. If Mercury and Moon are positioned here, this will make people as bold as brass and foolhardy in order to assert themselves. Near the upper Meridian (MC) and in good aspect, Altair promises rise in life and honors. The native tries with sincere conviction to reach out for his aims with utmost will power. He will avoid nothing in order to achieve them. Altair is good for advancement of lawyers and military men. (Ebertin). "¹
