About the star :

On the right foot of the Eastern Twin (Pollux) in Gemini.

Alzirr is from Arabic Al Zirr, the "Button".

It was included in the Arabic 4th manzil, Al Han'ah, "The brand-mark" which comprised of; gamma (Alhena), mu (Tejat Posterior), nu, eta (Propus), and xi (this star Alzirr), in the feet of the Twins. [4th mansion influences: Favorable for hunting, besieging towns, and the revenge of princes (Robson)].

Some Arabic authority found in them, with chi1 and chi2 of Orion, the Bow with which the Hunter, Orion, is shooting at the Lion.

In Babylonia gamma (Alhena), eta (Propus), mu (Tejat Posterior), nu, and xi (this star Alzirr), all in the Milky Way, may have been the Babylonian lunar mansion Khigalla, the "Canal", and the equivalent Persian Rakhvad, the Sogdian Ghathaf, and the Khorasmian Gawthaf. (Allen).

Close to the helio planetary North Node of Jupiter; 9CAN28 in 1900 - 10CAN28 in 2000, which might give it a Jupiterian influence.

Influence of the constellation:

"Ptolemy makes the following observations; the stars in the feet of Gemini have an influence similar to that of Mercury, and moderately to that of Venus; the bright stars in the thighs are like Saturn. It is said to cause trouble and disgrace, sickness, loss of fortune, affliction and danger to the knees. By the Kabbalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Qoph and the 19th Tarot Trump, The Sun". (Robson).

 

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