What does the fixed star Regulus mean?
Power, success, ambition. Royal patronage. Falls only through revenge.
Classical Meaning
Regulus, the 'Heart of the Lion,' is one of the four Persian Royal Stars and was held in classical sources as the most kingly of the fixed stars. The chart suggests when Regulus contacts personal points, you carry a charge of leadership and visibility, but classical sources from Ptolemy onward warn that Regulus's gift is conditional: it falls only when one acts from revenge or pride. Bernadette Brady reads Regulus as 'success if revenge can be avoided.'
Key Takeaways
- Regulus is in the constellation Leo.
- Classical nature: Mars/Jupiter.
- The Royal Star, Heart of the Lion
- Fixed-star contact is read at 1° orb to natal planets, angles, or angles of derived charts (returns, progressions).
