About the star :

A yellow star in the Girdle of the Chained Woman Andromeda. 

Arabic name Al Mi'zar, "The loin-cloth". Mirach was described in the Alfonsine Tables of 1521 as super mirat, from which has been derived its present title, as well as the occasional forms Mirak, Mirac, Merach, Mirar, Mirath, Mirax, etc.

Some have termed it Cingulum; others, Ventrale, from its former position in the figure, although now it is on the left hip.

In later Arabian astronomy it marked the right side of Andromeda, and so was known as Al Janb al Musalsalah, "the Side of the Chained Woman".

Beta appeared in very early Arabic drawings as the lucida of the northern of the two Fishes of Pisces, and marked the Arabic 26th manzil Al Batn al Hut, "the Belly of the Fish", or Al Kalb al Hut, "the Heart of the Fish". In this location it was Al Risha, the Band, Cord, Ribbon, or Thread, as being on the line uniting the Fishes; but this title now belongs to alpha Piscium (Al Risha). [Influences of the 26th manzil: Increases harvest and merchandise, helps travelers through danger, strengthens prisons and causes marital happiness and loss of treasure].

Along with upsilon, phi, and chi Pisces, it was the Egyptian Coptic lunar station Kuton, the "Thread"; another name was Arit, an asterism indigenous to Egypt.

In astrology was a fortunate star, portending renown and good luck in matrimony. (Allen).

Influence of the constellaion :

It is said to bestow purity of thought, virtue, honor and dignity upon its natives, but to cause battle with chimerical (wildly fanciful, highly improbable) fears and a tendency to become easily discouraged. It gives love between husband and wife and reconciles adulterers. If Mars afflicts the luminaries from Andromeda and especially if in an angle, it causes death by hanging, decapitation, crucifixion or impalement.

By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Pe and the 17th Tarot Trump, "The Stars". (Robson).

Influence of the star:

According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Venus; and, to Alvidas, of Mars and the Moon. It gives personal beauty, a brilliant mind, a love of home, great devotion, beneficence, forgiveness, love, overcoming by kindness, renown, and good fortune in marriage. (Robson).

Many interests, tendency to inspiration and medium-ship as a base for artistic creations, altruism, cheerfulness, happiness, love of company. These people have a stimulating effect on others, they make friends easily and are helped on in life by others. (Ebertin). 

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

Rising:

The man whose birth coincides with the rising of Andromeda from the sea will prove merciless, a dispenser of punishment, a warder of dungeon dire; he will stand arrogantly by while the mothers of wretched prisoners lie prostrate on his threshold, and the fathers wait all night to catch the last kisses of their sons and receive into their inmost being the dying breath. From the same constellation comes the figure of the executioner, ready to take money for a speedy death and the rites of a funeral pyre, for him execution means profit, and oft will he bare his axe; in short, he is a man who could have looked unmoved on Andromeda herself fettered to the rock.  Governor of the imprisoned he occasionally becomes a fellow convict, chained to criminals so as to save them for execution. (Manilius "Astronomica").
