About this star:

A star in the flank of Aries, the Ram.

Botein is from Al Butain, "The little belly", the dual of Al Batn, the Belly, probably from some early Arabic figuring, for in modern maps the star lies on the tail.

This star delta, with epsilon and rho, generally were considered the 28th Arabic manzil, Al Butain [Influences: Helps the finding of treasures and retaining of captives. With Moon transiting here; buy and sell but avoid the sea (Robson)]. (Allen).

Close to the helio planetary North Node of Mars; 18TAU57 in 1900 - 19TAU44 in 2000, which might give a Martian influence.

Influence of the constellation:

The Ram is associated with the Hebrew letter He and the 5th Tarot Trump "The Pope". (Robson).

"All the Aries stars have been in the sign Taurus for 200-300 years now. Hamal just over 600, (Botein year 505AD)  and in this same period we have seen large-scale aggression change its nature from barbaric raiding and migration of earlier centuries to the building of large empires which had to be administered and kept in peace and good order, as well as exploited by their conquerors. This is typical both of the sign Taurus and of the planet Saturn". (Dr Eric Morse).
