Lucinda Lancis (I cannot identify this star, even after searching on Google. All I could find was a blog by this name -- can anyone help!)

Hi Edward,

A while ago, I spotted the name "Lucida Lancis (9 45 Scorpio)" at Lilly’s "An Introduction to Nativities" p.616. I too became interested and did some research but failed. Today, I searched again and this time I got results:

Lucida Lancis (Zuben Elgenubi) is commonly known as South Scale (15 Scorpio 05').

By the way, the above site is in Dutch so I am using the Bing translation -- "According to V. Robson*: richness and honor, violence, sickness, benefits seldom last. While we are working on the fixed stars...: the prophetic section 10th house, at 7° Leeuw, crashes into the Praesepe cluster: disgrace, ruin, violent death (V. Robson).
Prophetic sun, at 13 Scorpio and in the 5th house of children, joins Pars Fortunae at 14°, but both boxing up against Lucida Lancis (Zuben Elgenubi) at 15°: (with PF:) loss by thieves, soldiers, servants, gambling, speculation, fire and lawsuits; (with Sun:) sickness, loss in business and through fire or speculation, disgrace, ruin, disfavor of superiors, suffers through wrongful accusations, sickness to family (V. Robson). Venus, the sub-ruler of the current Firdar, kisses profection cusp 8 with fears, worries, sorrow."


*In Vivian Robson book, "The Fixed Stars & Constellations in Astrology", it is listed under #92. Scale, South at 13 Scorpio 58' (page 205).

Thanks Mark for info on books found some on scrbd that I will study,As far as stars I can speak off in my experience I have Zosma on my 11 degree Ascendant, gives a strong pull to astrology,when I was 10 years old used my pocket money to buy horoscope magazines which in those days were quite technical,but with my mutable emphasis I needed to know.Just looking at pictures of planets would be a transcendental experience. Zosma is a little too otherworldly to be of practical use especially with 3 planets in Pisces.
Mum had moon on Algol she was only about 5ft tall but I was scared of her,she also had Mars between the bulls horns,Algol gave her so much power she could change the weather like the witches of old.
