About this star:

A light yellow star near the Dog's hind quarter in the Greater Dog Canis Major.

Modern Wezen, from Al Wazn, "Weight", "as the star seems to rise with difficulty from the horizon".

It was one of the Muhlifain "two stars sworn by" "swearing of an oath" (by which reference was made to the statement that at their rising some mistook them for Suhail (Canopus), and the consequent arguments were the occasion of much profanity among the Arabs). (Allen).

Close to the helio planetary North Node of Saturn; 22CAN47 in 1900 - 23CAN38 in 2000; which might give a Saturnian influence to this degree.

Influence of the constellation:

"It is said to give good qualities, charity and a faithful heart, but violent and dangerous passions. There is some danger from, or fear of, darkness and the night, and liability to dog bites, though the latter characteristic is probably associated more particularly with Sirius (this star). Canis Major is connected by the Kabbalists with the Hebrew letter Tzaddi and the 18th Tarot Trump, The Moon". (Robson).
