Algorab

Mythology

In Greek myth, Apollo's raven: punished for lying to the god, cast into the sky with brass wings. The raven symbol across cultures: messenger, carrier of hidden knowledge, but also a herald of misfortune.

Astrological reading

Algorab is classically counted among the unfortunate stars; loads a conjunct planet with hidden intent, jealousy, and the risk of destruction by speech. Well-channeled it gives sharp observer, investigative journalist, detective qualities. Misused, it becomes a gossip engine.
