Arcturus: The Fixed Star and its Influence in Astrology and Life
After encountering the Arcturians in my dream, I felt an undeniable urge to connect with them. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to these beings than meets the eye, and I took the encounter as an invitation to connect. Thus, I embarked on a journey to delve deeper into their celestial home - the fixed star Arcturus.
As I continued to explore the significance of the fixed star Arcturus, I stumbled upon an intriguing revelation. It turns out that my heliacal setting star is none other than Arcturus itself! For those who may not be familiar with the term, the heliacal setting star (it was a first for me to even hear the word “Heliacal”) is the star that sets before your Sun on the day of your birth. It ushers the Sun into its daily round of underworld. It is believed to be a deity returning from the heavens, showing you how to best utilize your gifts (heliacal rising star indicates your innate gifts) to lead a fulfilled life. And let me tell you, discovering this has left me absolutely astounded!
As I delved deeper into the celestial home of the Arcturians, I uncovered some fascinating information about this fixed star. For starters, Arcturus is a red giant star located in the constellation Boötes. It's considered the brightest star in the constellation and is about 36 light years away from our solar system. The name "Arctouros" comes from the Greek term for "Bear Watcher," while in Hawaiian, it is called "Hōkūle‘a," which means "Bright Star" or "Star of Joy." In Arabic, it is known as "Sāmāk al-asad," which means "the lion's guard."
Arcturus is a high-speed star, moving at 125 km per second relative to the solar system. It is believed to have formed about 70 million years ago and has completed its main sequence stage, becoming a red giant. The Arcturians are said to be a humanoid species native to the planet Arcturus, which is a red giant star in the Bootes constellation. According to Edgar Cayce, the Arcturians are considered “the most advanced alien civilization in the galaxy.”
But what does this mean for us here on Earth? Well, in astrology, Arcturus is considered a significant fixed star that brings success, wealth, and honor to those who are influenced by it. It is often associated with high energy, ambition, and a desire for leadership. Arcturus is also associated with the element of fire and is said to have a strong connection to the zodiac signs of Aries and Sagittarius. Those born under these signs are believed to be particularly influenced by Arcturus and may possess some of the star's qualities.
A strong Arcturus in one's birth chart indicates that the person is a pathfinder, a person who needs to create a better or new way of doing something, not just for themselves but for others as well. There will also be a strong sense of leading others involved with this new path or idea. When Arcturus is linked to the Sun, it indicates leadership qualities and the ability to explore or move forward into new fields. The person will be known as a person with these abilities, either in their local community or on a global level. The other stars in the person's chart will indicate the manner in which they use these skills.
Arcturus is also known to have a powerful influence on those who are connected to it. As a bright shining star, it captured the attention of our ancient ancestors. Many myths and legends were shared about Arcturus, and it was used as a guiding star for those making long journeys across the seas. In Western astrology, Arcturus is believed to be a lucky star that carries the energy of prosperity and determination (energy of Jupiter and Mars). It indicates that if we work hard and are fair and honest in our pursuits, we will be justly rewarded.
Upon reflection of my life, I find myself resonating with the notion of awakening to leadership qualities in later years. It's a perspective that I had never considered for myself, but lately in my 50's, I've been pleasantly surprised to hear others refer to me as a leader in the exploration of this spiritual and astrological path with others. Indeed, the fixed star Arcturus has the incredible ability to reveal hidden aspects of ourselves and guide us towards our true potential. It's simply fascinating!
