I understand how tropical astrology operates, that Aries is tied to the Vernal Equinox, and not to the constellation, but what about the influence of individual stars? I know that Sirius was very important to the Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) civilization, and that Greek and Arabic astrologers named many other prominent stars an assigned to them certain qualities.
Many astrologers look at where the fixed stars are in the horoscope and integrate them into their interpretations. But the stars are placed in the chart just like the planets, by where they appear in the sky. For instance, Regulus is now at 1 degree of Virgo, Algol is at 26 Taurus, hanging out with transiting Uranus. But this is about placement, not influence. Does that make sense?
