Fixed Star Fomalhaut, Alpha Piscis Austrinus, is a 1.16 magnitude star, the largest in the constellation Piscis Austrinus, the Southern Fish. Spectral class A3 V.

The star’s traditional name derives from Fom al-Haut from scientific Arabic فم الحوت fam al-ḥūt (al-janūbī) “the mouth of the [Southern] Fish” (literally, “mouth of the whale”), a translation of how Ptolemy labeled it. [2]

A reddish star in the mouth of the Southern Fish. From Fum al Hut, “The Fish’s Mouth.” It was one of the four Royal Stars of Persia in 3000 B.C. when as the Watcher of the South, it marked the winter solstice. [4]

Fomalhaut Astrology

According to Ptolemy, itis of the nature of Venus and Mercury; and, to Alvidas, of Jupiter in square to Saturn from Pisces and Sagittarius. It is said to be very fortunate and powerful and yet to cause malevolence of sublime scope and character, and change from a material to a spiritual form of expression. Cardan stated that together with the stars rising with 12 Gemini, it gives an immortal name. [4]

Anonymous (379 AD) said Fomalhaut is like Venus and Mercury. [9]

α Piscis Australis. A star in the mouth of the Southern Fish. Spectral class A2 – white. These natives are subject to undermining influences. The natives are idealistic, spiritual in character, gentle folk, and mentally keen. [11]

Fomalhaut has a Mercury-Venus character with a blending of Neptune influence. It is of quite variable effect, either very good or very bad, depending on the overall cosmic structure. It is assumed, however, that the helpful influence is the greater one. [5]

Flammarion says that it was Hastorang in Persia 3000 B.C., when near the winter solstice, and a Royal Star, one of the four Guardians of Heaven, sentinels watching over other stars. [2]

The prime star of the Southern Fish, Alpha Piscis Austrinus, the Mouth of the fish, is Fomalhaut. It is of a Venus-Mercury nature. For all its exalted associations, this star has often been counted a malefic, especially in mundane and political affairs. Really, if we take this angelic significance seriously, we should not be too surprised at occasional celestial indignation over some of our viler projects for destroying life around us. On the personal horoscope, however, Fomalhaut shows up a good talent and a ready will to speak out when necessary and to contribute new ideas and thinking when they are most needed. If not so well-aspected, there can be a tendency to ‘speak with the tongues of angels, yet be as empty sounding brass’, as St. Paul put it. Fomalhaut is the star of that Divine Messenger Gabriel, generally announcing a good event to come. It bestows great power and wisdom ‘from above’, and is very much to do with releasing us from the inertia of the past and with opening up a new era for us. The Archangel stars have been characterized as Horses, reflected both in the famed Four Horsemen of Apocalypse (Revelations 6) and Chariot Horses in the Book of Zechariah. Regulus was long considered the supreme of the Four Guardians, but the role of Fomalhaut – Gabriel, in the birth of Jesus – must now be said to challenge or actually supplant, with a new stage in human spiritual evolution, the supremacy of the more ‘medical’ Archangel of the Leonine era. [3]

Fomalhaut, one of the “Four Royal Architects,” inspires a future vision for an evolved humanitarian-based society. Fomalhaut inspires new ideas and pursuits in the art sciences, technology, and in social issues of the world. Fomalhaut promotes the flow of resources within the human populous that creates a wholesome human condition. Fomalhaut defies convention and compartmentalization but supports individuality, progress, and freedom. [10]

Fomalhaut rules the heel of the right foot. [6]

Ascendant and Mercury conjunct Fomalhaut: The native will be a prophet and will appear great in the eyes of men and will be a philosopher, inventor of the sciences and has knowledge of everything, especially of those sciences originating in the region of Babylon. And if the nativity were nocturnal, and Mercury placed in this way and Mars were in the sixth place from Mercury, right with respect to the ascendant, the native will be idolatrous and very famous and will speak prophetic words and will perform miracles, and God is wiser in this. [9]

Ascendant and Mars conjunct Fomalhaut: Sometimes promiscuous and easily aroused by the pleasures of Venus. Involved in some trouble due to documents or driven by passion, especially if also with Mercury. [9]

Ascendant and Venus and Saturn conjunct Fomalhaut: Those born are inclined to banquets, to enjoyment, to drink, to lie down with women. And if Saturn were on the ascendant with the Sun and Venus were in the fourth place (Imum Coeli), or even if Saturn were with Venus or with one of these stars in the tenth place (Midheaven), the native will not have good luck, and none of the aforementioned things are in his nature, since he will be cold or a man impotent in coitus or still all his children will be females. Truly these stars turn to evil when Saturn and Venus join them in the angles. [9]

Ascendant conjunct Fomalhaut, plus Venus or Mars conjunct Imum Coeli: The opposites of the chaste and the sensible and the impious and those who are impotent in the pleasures of Venus or who have few children or who have only females. [9]

Sun conjunct Fomalhaut: Dissipated, easily influenced by low companions, gain through inheritance but unproductive of good, may suffer for some crime committed, danger of bites from venomous creatures. [4]

Tied up with either Sun or Moon, the influence of Fomalhaut is said to be quite marked. [5]

Natives with this conjunction can be improperly influenced. They are most easily influenced by self-seeking individuals, and at times they appear to ‘go with the wind.’ Sometimes this subtle influence is so directed to the native that they are unaware of it. If an inheritance is expected, and the native has encountered difficulties because of being rather easily influenced and became involved in legal entanglements, they will profit little from such an inheritance. Natives with this conjunction generally have a different life style than the average person. Legal problems or a judicial sentence is possible. [11]

Drew Barrymore 0°03′, Charles Cullen 0°08′, Ted Kennedy 0°21′, Kurt Cobain 1°35′, Olivia Rodrigo 2°30′

Moon conjunct Fomalhaut: Secret business causing much trouble and enmity, but eventual gain after many difficulties. The separation is more benefic than the application. [4]

Natives with this conjunction will appear to be rather easy going persons, but they can be quite determined. However, they can be easily influenced by those they trust. This can have a detrimental affect on their well being, or finances, either of which could create lasting problems. These natives must be careful to avoid situations that create domestic problems, however, generally such problems would be self-created and could, unless their partner is very congenial, create family situations of such a nature that could not be easily resolved. Financial entanglement possible. [11]

Elvis Presley 0°55′, Prince 1°17′

Mercury conjunct Fomalhaut: Many losses and disappointments, unlucky in business, better servant than master, writes or receives secret letters, worry through slander, imprisonment or damaged reputation, domestic difficulties, sickness of a Saturnian nature. [4]

Stimulate mental capabilities and promise success as a writer or scientist. [5]

Natives with this conjunction will be both diplomatic and practical. They will tend to have a somewhat restless mind, always planning, planning. They are subject to being victims of vicious, almost slanderous statements, victims of untruthful accusations. They are also subject to being victims of questionable deals, that is being ‘conned’ by deals which could prove to be a financial disaster. There is a possibility of domestic problems or losses, generally such problems or losses are not of their makings, but due to outside interference. In more negative nativities, the natives are somewhat flighty, tend to make unwise statements, even subject themselves to legal involvements. [11]

Manuel Noriega 0°04′, Alice Cooper 0°29′, Bruce Willis 0°50′, Bernadette Brady 1°14′, Nancy Spungen 1°24′, James Joyce 1°42′, Michelangelo 2°13′, Camila Cabello 2°17′ (and Venus). 

Venus conjunct Fomalhaut: Secret and passionate love affairs, some restriction in the life, disappointments, easily led astray. [4]

Advantages in artistic pursuits. [5]

The native is a private person, or one who is quite reserved. They are easily influenced by self-seeking individuals which could lead to the natives downfall. More positive nativities will be more alert to such tendencies on the part of self-seeking individuals, while the negative conjunctions will fall all the way into such traps. There is also the possibility of unwise friendships and some restrictions in the natives early life. There is also the possibility of accusations of a sort, false or otherwise, being made to the native, or about the native in regards to romances, perhaps even unwise romances, or an expressive dissatisfaction with the natives career or affairs. This conjunction can produce problems of a calamitous nature, probably because its natives have the unique ability of making unwise choices. There is a good possibility of the native having name and fame forever – good or bad. [11]

Kristen Stewart 0°18′, Hugh Hefner 0°32′, Sirhan Sirhan 0°44′, Richard Nixon 0°51′, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1°05′, Bill Maher 1°06′, Harvey Weinstein 1°08′, John Travolta 1°12′, Isaac Newton 1°37′, Camila Cabello 1°44′ (and Mercury), Marilyn Manson 2°03′

Mars conjunct Fomalhaut: Malevolent, passionate, revengeful, many secret enemies, liable to disgrace and ruin, danger of bites from venomous creatures. [4]

Natives with this conjunction may appear to attract or be attracted to near disastrous situations. They make their own problems. They can also appear to be very fickle. With a negative conjunction, such natives may attract unwise or undesirable acquaintances, or make friends who later turn out to be enemies. There is a certain amount of turbulence possible, also the possibility of revenge seeking. [11]

(4° orb): Similar to Mars at the fixed star Sadalmelik. These individuals are unable to differentiate between illusion and reality. They are the wanderers and they roam throughout the land. They are generally confined to institutions early in life as persons related to them do not know what to do to help them. These natives can become injured through neglect. They gravitate to those who show no mercy in the way they are treated. This is a karmic position for they are receiving the same cruelty in return that they inflicted on others in a former life. They mistreated others who were mentally deficient so that they are now at the mercy of cruel and harsh individuals in this incarnation. [6]

Andrew Tate 0°04′, LeBron James 0°38′ (and MC), Susan Miller 0°47′, Elizabeth Taylor 1°19′, Machine Gun Kelly 2°29′. 

Jupiter conjunct Fomalhaut: Sympathetic, charitable, honor in the Church, Freemasonry or secret societies, many voyages. [4]

These natives with well aspected Jupiters will or can can excel in their relations with the public. However, if Jupiter is adversely aspected, the native may become a malcontent, and be subjected to ruin and disgrace. In any case such natives will have a name and fame – good or bad. [11]

Favor from dignitaries of the church. [5]

(2° orb): This causes only a slight problem with the sciatic nerve. There is an over-extension of the nerve down the right side of the spine causing a loosening effect so that the person is unable to lift the right foot properly. This person, therefore, walks with a slight drag on this foot. This condition can be relieved to a large degree through proper exercise but most people do not pursue this type of therapy. The condition is not that severe or serious but later in life it can cause a slight curvature of the spine. [6]

[4]

(No orb): These individuals are open telepathically to pictures. Their psychic information received through mental pictures may at times be interpreted erroneously if they do not learn how to decipher the massages correctly. Depending on how they use this ability, they can either be of great benefit to other people, or merely entertainers who have the ability while blindfolded to identify what another person is holding in their hand. The audience is in awe over the performance, but it does not bring any practical benefits to those in attendance. [6]
