Hamal

Alpha Arietis. Hamal is a giant orange star, the brightest in the constellation of Aries.

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

"General influence of the star: According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Mars and Saturn; and, to Alvidas, of Venus and Saturn. It causes violence brutishness, cruelty and premeditated crime. (Robson). The Mars-Saturn combination appear to be fighting each other for domination, and this influence could be a dangerous one in the material sphere. If connected closely otherwise, life may be repeatedly in danger, for example, if the native undertakes climbing - up or down; or by leap or dive into an abyss. If connected with beneficial stellar bodies, the influence of this star will be lessened. If Mars or Venus are linked and if other factors are equally present, suffering connected with the love life or ill treatment by sadism is indicated. (Ebertin). Headstrong and often aggressive, yet potentially capable leaders and protectors of their community, all qualities of the Ram. (Dr. Eric Morse)”¹
