About the star :

A star under the belt on the right side of the Ethiopian King, Cepheus.

Arabic name for Alfirk is Al-Firq, "The flock".

Ficares is occasionally seen, from one of the degenerated names for the whole constellation that also may have been applied by the Arabs to others of its brighter stars. (Allen).

Influence of the constellaion :

It gives authority and a sober mind, sometimes making its natives judges or arbitrators, but exposes to cruel and severe trials. By the Kabalists this constellation is associated with the Hebrew letter Shin and the 22^nd Tarot Trump, The Fool". (Robson).  

Remember, only the parallel and conjunction are important and the orb must be no more than 1 (one) degree.

Rising:

Cepheus will not engender dispositions inclined to sport. He fashions faces marked by a stern demeanor, and moulds a countenance whereon is depicted gravity of mind. Such men will live on worry and will incessantly recall the traditions of a bygone age and commend old Cato's maxims.

 Cepheus will also create a man to bring up boys of tender age he will lord it over his lord by virtue of the law which governs a minor and, bemused by this semblance of power, will mistake for reality the role of arrogant guardian or stern uncle which he plays.

Offspring of Cepheus will also furnish words for the buskin of tragedy, (on the Farnese globe Cepheus is depicted in the garb of a tragic actor) whose pen, if only on paper, is drenched in blood; and the paper (the audience at a performance), no less will revel in the spectacle of crime and catastrophe in human affairs . If anyone is born with the urge to write in lighter vein, he will compose for presentation at the merry games scenes of comedy about the loves of headstrong youths and abducted maidens, hood winked old men, and slaves of infinite resource. Should his powers not rise to such masterpieces, the child of Cepheus will yet be fitted to perform those of others he will interpret the poet's words, now by his voice, now by silent gesture and expression, and the lines he declaims he will make his own. On the stage he will take the part of Romans or the mighty heroes of myth; he will assume every role himself, one after another, and in his single person represent a crowd; he will draw over his limbs the aspect of fortune's every vicissitude and his gestures will match the songs of the chorus; he will convince you that you see Troy's actual fall and Priam expiring before your very eyes. (Manilus Astronomica book 5, 1st century AD).
