About this star:

Triple stars; mu1, 3.5, 9.5, and 10 and mu2, 5.8; at the northern tip of the bow of the Archer.

With lamda (Kaus Borealis) it may have been the Akkadian Anu-ni-tum, said to have been associated with the great goddess Istar (a number of stars are associated with Istar).

The stars in the Bow were the Persian Gau, the Sogdian and Khorasmian Yaugh (these nations knew them as a Bull). The Egyptian Copts knew them as Polis, a "Foal" where the name of this star derives.

This star Polis, with lamda (Kaus Borealis) (the stars in the northern part of the Bow), were the Arabic Ra'i al Na'aim, the "Keeper of the Na'ams". In ancient Arabia the two small groups of stars now marking the head and the vane of the Archer's arrow were of much note as relics of still earlier asterisms, as well as a lunar station. The westernmost of these, — gamma (Alnasl), delta (Kaus Medius), epsilon (Kaus Australis), and eta — were Al Na'am al Warid, the Going Ostriches; and the easternmost, — sigma (Nunki), zeta (Ascella), phi, chi, and tau, — Al Na'am al Sadirah, the Returning Ostriches, passing to and from the celestial river, the Milky Way, with lamda (Kaus Borealis) and these stars mu1 and mu2 ( this star Polis), as their Keeper; Ra'i al Na'aim, the "Keeper of the Na'ams", or Al Thalimain, meaning desert birds.

All of the foregoing stars were included in the Arabic 18th manzil, Al Na'am. [Influences: Helps the taming of wild beasts, strengthening of prisons, destroys the wealth of societies and compels a man to come to a certain place. With Moon transiting here; build, ask favors but do not marry]. (Allen).

Influence of the constellation:

The Archer is associated with the Hebrew letter Vau and the 6th Tarot Trump "The Lovers". (Robson).

Influence of the star:

It gives success, high ambition, martial desires, horsemanship, keen perception and domination. (Robson).

Truthfulness. (Noonan).

This Jupiter-Mars star shows up in a horoscope with almost the regal qualities of mighty Regulus. Only this star, Polis will indicate more of the high office in spiritual life, Pope, Iman, Archbishop, or at least a prominent Theologian, than in the temporal world of kings and statesmen. Unfavorably aspected, however, it may show more the self-styled pretender to dignity, or the one who on gaining appointment fails to meet expectations. If better aspected, but not aided by Sun or 10th, say, then we still have someone whose interest and knowledge of things spiritual may be both keen and profound. (Dr. Eric Morse).
