About this star:

Ancha, the "Hip", or "Hipbone" of the Water Bearer, Aquarius, although on most modern atlases the star lies in the belt on the front of the figure. The word is from the Latin of the Middle Ages, and still appears in the French hanche, our "haunch". (Allen).

 

Influence of the constellation:

The beauty of Ganymedes and his flight through the air link it to the ideas of personnel charm and aviation with which it is certainly connected. The Water Bearer is associated with the Hebrew letter Nun and the 14th Tarot Trump "Temperance". (Robson).

General influence of the star:

This star along with Albali can cause danger, persecution and even death, but are also said to give good fortune. (Noonan).
