About this star: The middle star in the left wingspread of the Swan, Cygnus. pi1, is Azelfafage, possibly a corrupted form of Adelfalferes, from Al Thilf al Faras, the "Horse's Foot" or "Track"; and, to quote Ideler, "It follows either that the foot of Pegasus extended to this star, or that in this region was supposed to be located the feet of the Stallion which some Arab astronomer introduced between Pegasus and the Swan." Or the title may be, as seems more probable, from Al 'Azal al Dajajah, the "Tail of the Hen", which it exactly marks. It is also Azelfafge, and "Azelfage id est Tarcuta. (Allen). |

Influence of the constellation: Cygnus gives a contemplative, dreamy, cultured and adaptable nature. The affections are ill regulated and unsteady, the talents develop late. There is some love of water and swimming and the arts. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Resh and the 20th Tarot Trump "Judgment". (Robson). |
