Indus Constellation Astrology
INDUS. The Indian. It is said to give a quick penetrating mind, deep insight, and interest in orientalism, mysticism and sport. [2]
Indus, or its lucida α, was Pe Sze in China, where it also was known as the Persian, a title from the Jesuit missionaries. [3] The term Pe Sze is from the name of asterism 波斯 (Bō Sī), meaning Persia. [4]
