Fixed Star Mirach is on the side of the Chained Woman, Andromeda Constellation. Robson said it gives love, beauty, brilliance, devotion, forgiveness, kindness, renown, love of home and good fortune in marriage. ^[1] Ebertin adds cheerfulness, happiness, love of company, many interests, altruism, and a tendency to inspiration and medium-ship as a base for artistic creation. ^[2] But according to Robson, the Moon and Uranus do not go so well with this star:

Moon conjunct Mirach: Trouble with opposite sex owing to indiscretions, bad for domestic affairs, honor through martial matters.

Uranus conjunct Mirach: Unbalanced mind, may commit crime in insanity, occult interests, continual disappointments, bad for domestic affairs, peculiar or violent death. (Charles Manson 0°51′)

Fixed Star Mira is in the Tail of the Whale, Cetus Constellation. Ebertin said that if connected well and with a well-placed Saturn, and otherwise well aligned, it means prudence, perseverance, versatility, progressive spirit and endurance in solving difficult problems. But with unhelpful connections will bring as results failures, fiascos and enmity. When linked with the Moon, melancholy will then appear. ^[2]If the Full Moon October 2018 astrology chart directly impacts your horoscope decan you can read about it in your monthly horoscope.
