About this star:

Chief star of quadrangle, the four-sided figure, on the hind-quarters of the horse part of Sagittarius mentioned by Ptolemy and which was the Latin Terebellum, the name for this group of stars. (Allen).

General influence of the star:

It gives a fortune but with regret and disgrace, cunning and repulsiveness. (Robson).

The buttocks of the horse is a muscular part from which a horse draws much of its strength and thus its potential for becoming a great winner. We are not suprised therefore that, 'in the background' though the position may at first seem to be, it often reveals the potential which people have to become leading figures in their field of work or their community. If well aspected in a chart it shows ability to wield power and authority with a venusian ease and attractiveness that keeps them secure in their position. If negatively aspected or conjunct with Saturn or Mars, however, we may instead find them at the mercy of authority against which they can effectively do nothing to help themselves. (Dr. Eric Morse).
