Fixed star Dubhe, Alpha Ursae Majoris, is a 2nd-magnitude multiple star system located on the back of the Great Bear, Ursa Major Constellation.

Alpha Ursae Majoris (α UMa) is a spectroscopic binary star system made up of the stars designated α UMa A and B, with a combined magnitude of 1.79 (suspected variable). Another spectroscopic binary pair, sometimes referred to as α UMa C, is separately catalogued as HD 95638. Together, they form a quadruple star system. ^[1]

Compenent	Magnitude	Spectral Class
α UMa A	1.87	K0
α UMa B	4.85	A5
α UMa C	7	F8

α UMa is officially and traditionally named Dubhe. Applied in medieval times from the Arabic constellation name al-dubb, “the Bear,” for Ursa Major. The spelling in the oldest sources was edubh (corresponding to the Arabic noun with the article al prefixed as e). Afterwards, by corruption, the initial e was transferred to the end of the word: dubhe. ^[2]

α, Binary, 2 and 11, yellow,
Al Bīrūnī said that it was the Hindu Kratu, the Rishi or Sage.
Lockyer asserts that it was Āk, the Eye, i.e. the prominent one of the constellation, utilized in the alignment of the walls of the temple of Hathor at Denderah, and the orientation point of that structure perhaps before 5000 B.C.; at all events, before the Thigh became circumpolar, about 4000 B.C. This was in the times of the Hor-she-shu, the worshipers of Horus, before the reign of Mena,⁠6 when the star had a declination of over 64°, — now about 62°24′. And he finds two other temples also so oriented.
As typifying a goddess of Egypt, it was Bast Isis and Taurt Isis. ^[3]

In Chinese astronomy, α UMa is located in the asterism 北斗 Běidǒu, “Northern Dipper,” and is known by the following traditional names:

北斗一 Běidǒuyī, “1st star of Northern Dipper.”
天樞 Tiānshū, “The Celestial Pivot.”
紐星 Niǔxīng, “Turning star.”
天魁 Tiānkuí, “Celestial chief.”
贪狼 Tānláng, “Greedy wolf.”
枢星 Shūxīng, “Pivot star.”
天蓬 Tiānpéng, “Celestial fleabane.”
生气 Shēngqì, “Angry.” ^[4]

Dubhe Astrology

Fixed star Dubhe has spectral types K0 and A5, indicating a planetary nature, similar to that of Mars and, to a lesser extent, Venus.

MARS-VENUS. Strong passions, artistic feeling, gain through women and friends, honor and preferment in martial affairs, especially if rising or culminating. ^[5]

DUBHE. α Ursae Major.
The main star of the Great Bear. A binary, yellow star. “The Back of the Greater Bear.”
BASIC INFLUENCES: Gives the native self-confidence, arrogance, bold, adventerous nature, acquisitive, patient, suspicious, mistrustful, uneasy, idealism. NOTE: Natives born with the Dubhe conjunction tend to have a degree of foresight, almost bordering on psychic ability, the more positive nativities will benefit from this while the more negative nativities will now (not?) be aware of this influence. In well aspected nativities, they have the power to overcome enemies. ^[6]

Dubhe, Alpha Ursa Majoris
Dubhe, in Arabic “Bear”, the main star of The Great Bear, is credited with the destructiveness of Mars, working itself out, particularly in mundane maps, in a nasty way if this fixed star is conjunction Saturn. Dubhe is positioned conjunction the Moon in the natal chart of Mao Tse Tung and with Saturn in the chart of Hitler. ^[7]

Just on past Acubens, we come to the first of our Ursa Major star, the α of the Constellation, Dubhe, or Dubb, the Arabic for Bear. It is on the creature’s back and, on the Dipper, it is at the lip of the pan end, pointing the way to Polaris. We get no help from Ptolemy here, but the function of Dubhe in pointing us to our chief guiding star tells us that those gifted with it, while they may not have all the expertise themselves, will certainly know where to send others for help, and will delight in doing so. A Mercury-Venus simile is not far amiss. ^[8]

Constellation Ursa Major

URSA MAJOR. The Greater Bear.
Influence. According to Ptolemy, Ursa Major is like Mars. It is said to give a quiet, prudent, suspicious, mistrustful, self-controlled, patient nature, but an uneasy spirit and great anger and revengefulness when roused. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Zain and the 7th Tarot Trump “The Chariot.”
Magical. Gives craft, ingenuity and valor. ^[5]

Astrologically both Bears were said to presage an evil influence. They are particularly injurious as regards to the affairs of nations and kings. ^[9]
