About this star :

A clear white star in Eridanus, the River.

In early Arabia this was Al Baid, the "Egg" of the Ostrich, from its peculiarly white color, as well as from its position near the Ostrich's Nest. Modern lists generally write it Beid. (Allen).

Influence of the constellation : According to Ptolemy all the stars with the exception of Achernar are like Saturn. Eridanus gives a love of knowledge and science, much travel and many changes, a position of authority, but danger of accidents, especially at sea and of drowning. (Robson).
