Fixed star Polis, Mu Sagittarii, is a 4th-magnitude multiple star system in the upper part of the Bow of the Archer, Sagittarius Constellation.

μ Sgr is officially named Polis; the term in Coptic means “a foal.” It was originally used for stars in the bow of the Archer, but was moved over time. [2]
Brown says that the stars in the bow were the Persian Gau and the Sogdian and Khorasmian Yaugh, but by these nations were imagined as a Bull; the Copts knew them as Polis, a Foal. [3]
μ Sgr belongs to the Chinese asterism Dǒu, “Dipper,” representing the Southern Dipper. It has the traditional names Dǒusùsān, “3rd star of Dipper,” Dǒusùkuídìsānxīng, “3rd chief star of Dipper,” Nándǒusān, “3rd southern dipper,” Tiānjī, “Heavenly Secrets,” and Shànsù, “Good lodge.” [4]

POLIS. μ Sagittarii.
A triple star, magnitudes 3.5, 9.5, and 10., color bluish white in the upper part of the bow of Sagittarius. Spectral class B8P.
BASIC INFLUENCES: This star gives the native high ambition, success, domination, leadership qualities, pride, adverse criticism, pioneering abilities. Name/fame possible; good or bad. [6]
Polis is a fortunate star portending success, ambition and truthfulness. [7]
This Jupiter-Mars star shows up in a horoscope with almost the regal qualities of mighty Regulus. Only this star, Polis will indicate more of the high office in spiritual life, Pope, Iman, Archbishop, or at least a prominent Theologian, than in the temporal world of kings and statesmen. Unfavorably aspected, however, it may show more the self-styled pretender to dignity, or the one who on gaining appointment fails to meet expectations. If better aspected, but not aided by Sun or 10th, say, then we still have someone whose interest and knowledge of things spiritual may be both keen and profound. [8]
Fixed star Polis star rules the right leg above the knee. [9]
Heavenly Secrets
In Chinese astronomy, fixed star Polis is the fourth star of Dǒu, “Dipper (southern)”, the 8th Lunar Mansion. It is known as Dou Su San, “Dipper 3, Tianji and Heavenly Secrets. It is one of the Fourteen Main Stars used in Chinese astrology (Purple Star Astrology).
In ancient Chinese mythology, Polis is the star of perfect virtue and beauty, the auspicious star of wisdom, enlightenment and longevity; those under this star are exceptionally intelligent and talented.
Polis is a supportive type among the four major categories of stars (pioneering, leadership, support, and cooperation); however, its gentle personality can easily be mistaken for a cooperative type. So Polis represents a cooperative personality type within the supportive category.
Polis was called “good star” in ancient times. Its Qi is good. It symbolizes wisdom, strategy and power. As the main star of the Southern Dipper system, it is characterized by quick thinking, understanding, and outstanding analytical and planning abilities. However, it is prone to insufficient action due to overthinking and sensitivity.
Polis belongs to the Yin Wood element; its energy is benevolent, and it governs siblings. It symbolizes a shoulder-to-shoulder relationship and governs the Liver meridian. It signifies agility and movement. Polis speaks quickly, thinks rapidly, and is restless and impatient.
Polis governs the body’s muscles, bones, feet, and nervous system. Polis professions include: secretary, technician, and public office.
Polis Advantages.
Quick thinking, fast reflexes, strong learning ability, intelligence, analytical and research-oriented, thoughtful, service-oriented, friendly, specialized, empathetic, and enjoys group activities.
Polis Disadvantages.
Overly ambitious, nervous, overly idealistic, irritable, stubborn, reluctant to admit mistakes, prone to fantasies, restless, under too much mental stress, constrained by social obligations and face-saving, suspicious and jealous, prone to losing sight of the bigger picture, broad-minded but lacking depth, learning many things but mastering few.
Polis Personality.
Polis tends to think more than act. This is because Polis has a stronger research focus, contemplates things deeply and extensively, and often overthinks, which naturally leads to indecisiveness in action. The result of thinking thrice before acting might be acting and then thinking again, thinking and then acting again, constantly changing one’s mind.
Polis also has abundant creativity; often, before one idea is fully expressed, another arises, making their speech seem unrestrained and ambitious, further giving the impression that Polis is fickle and lacks perseverance. However, when applied to work, these characteristics make them excellent talents in planning and research.
Polis makes you empathetic and considerate; you can easily put yourself in others’ shoes, which improves interpersonal relationships. However, you are also cautious and dislike offending people. Your ideals are too high, and you are very sensitive to others’ reactions, but you tend to keep your worries to yourself.
Outwardly, you are talkative and witty, but inwardly, you are tense and prone to fantasizing, experiencing heavy mental stress. You are also prone to neurological disorders such as depression or digestive problems, so you should pay special attention to this.
Polis governs longevity. You like to reason and speak with respect for good, not that you are inherently kind. Polis is a star of intelligence, prone to thinking. This thinking can be straightforward or unconventional.
Polis can sometimes indicate that social interactions are based on interest rather than profit, and that disloyalty to one’s master implies a shift in allegiance once the goal is achieved. However, this is merely verbal and does not imply premeditated harm or injury.
With Polis in your natal chart, you show intelligence from a young age and are eager to study anything unknown; you are also impatient. You speak very quickly, reaching a speed of 210 words per minute (normally 180 words per minute), and are generally kind-hearted.
You can also be cunning and emotionally unstable. You are passionate and will use your own interests as a tool, while also being enthusiastic about public welfare. You have sharp eyes, a gentle and polite personality, and are quite analytical. You are eloquent, quick-witted, diligent, hardworking in your early years, filial to your parents, will have children, and will worry about your children. You are frank, helpful, and sentimental, and you speak very honestly.
Those with Polis in their natal chart cannot stay at home, regardless of gender. Family disputes and an unsettled life are likely. Marriages are often unhappy, with frequent arguments between spouses.
Women with Polis in their natal chart tend to be neurotic, prone to fantasy, emotional, and have a high sex drive; however, they are kind-hearted, hardworking, and devoted to household chores. Their weakness is being calculating.
Well-aspected, Polis signifies goodness and makes you generally peaceful and kind-hearted, with the ability to become a professional in various industries.
Harsh aspects represent setbacks, but proper control and transformation can turn these negative influences into opportunities for success. Furthermore, harsh aspects can enhance ambition and drive; those lacking ambition and drive will undoubtedly find it more difficult to succeed in the business world.
Polis and Nunki conjunctions in the natal chart: Capable and principled, and enthusiastic in helping others.
Polis and Merak conjunctions in the natal chart: Straightforward, outspoken, and eloquent.
Love Life.
With Polis in your natal chart, you prefer refined and elegant strategists, those who are strategic, far-sighted, and trustworthy.
You seek stable love and are easily frightened by any disturbances during courtship and marriage.
You value the compatibility of spiritual communication, enjoy being cared for by your partner, are slow to invest in relationships, and are afraid of misinterpreting feelings or intentions, so you tend to test the waters in many ways.
You have a soft heart and fear being bullied, so you pretend to be strong, but you are weak inside. Once you meet the person you like, you will surrender.
Your relationship style is very passive and goes with the flow; you believe that fate will decide your destiny, and you don’t force things.
You are a very sensitive person and very attuned to your partner’s behavior. You tend to keep your worries to yourself. You may seem cheerful and talkative, but are actually very nervous inside, have many fantasies, and are under a lot of mental stress.
Especially when couples live together day and night, conflicts are inevitable. With Polis in your natal chart, you may unconsciously magnify the seriousness of the problem, often turning small things into big ones. You are heartbroken inside, but don’t want others to know, and you are torturing yourself.
The three main supporting stars, Polis has the lowest initiative. So you usually endure more and think more, but do less. In the end, you hurt yourself more, while the other party is completely unaware. You really bring trouble upon yourself.
You think faster than you speak, always eager to get things off your chest. As a result, you often change topics constantly, repeating yourself endlessly, with your thoughts running wild.
However, in marriage, couples know each other so well that they can’t tolerate repetitive topics and easily become impatient, interrupting abruptly. It’s heartbreaking that the person who should be closest to you becomes the most difficult to communicate with, always complaining that you’re repeating the same old things.
“Could you please stop being so eager to explain your feelings?” “Speak less and listen to others more.” “If you don’t even know what you’re thinking next, why rush to let others know your thoughts?”
The reason for talking too much is simply insecurity and a lack of self-confidence. However, expressing these feelings forcefully can easily lead to misunderstandings. If the other person is a different type of person with a different way of thinking, it becomes even more exhausting—this is the dilemma of getting along.
Polis is suspicious, but it can’t speak its mind so frankly. So, suspicion breeds suspicion, and keeping doubts in your heart while constantly trying to find the truth is harmful to both you and others. This mindset must be improved to make relationships and marriage smoother.
Polis scores above average in maintaining relationships and marriage, indicating a solid foundation and strong performance in dating. However, in the pursuit of love, you become dwarfed, too passive, and afraid to take action, resulting in opportunities slipping away.
Historical Figures.
Polis has often been associated with wise figures such as Jiang Ziya (1128 BC), Mencius (372 BC), Zhuge Liang (181 AD), Zhao Pu (922 AD) and Liu Bowen (1311 AD), all of whom were planning geniuses who helped leaders devise strategies and secure victory from afar.
Polis has been known as the “wise strategist” since ancient times, a synonym for military advisor, and often described as being able to summon wind and rain. Despite their metaphysical connotations, related texts still emphasize Polis’s dual attributes: philosophical wisdom and practical strategy.
Mencius is a representative figure of the Polis “heavenly secret” approach. He said, “Do I love to argue? I have no choice!” This is a phrase that supportive type people have said for thousands of years.
Lui Bowen’s strategy of “Build high walls, store ample grain, do not declare yourself king,” embodies the star’s insightful understanding of the times. Because the situation was chaotic and unclear at the time, hastily declaring himself king would inevitably make him a target of everyone. It was better to accumulate strength and wait for the right opportunity. This also deeply embodies the essence of Taoism: “Only by not contending can one be defeated by all under heaven.”
Liu Bowen was known for his keen observation of world affairs, thorough consideration of problems, and profound knowledge of astronomy, which made his predictions remarkably accurate. During the Battle of Poyang Lake, Liu Bowen suddenly leaped up and shouted, “A dangerous star is passing by! Quickly change boats!” They changed boats, only to find the old ones destroyed by enemy cannons. Therefore, he is popularly regarded as a divine figure with uncanny foresight.
In ancient times, divination and fortune-telling were collectively referred to as “diviners.” Liu Bowen explained the principle of cause and effect in destiny; every event has a cause, and every cause has an effect. [10]
Yin Wood.
Polis belongs to Yin (Yi) Wood and its transformed energy is good; it is a star that benefits longevity and preserves life (a key star for determining lifespan), and it governs brothers.
Wood represents benevolence, so Polis signifies benevolence and kindness. It is a religious star that emphasizes compassion, universal love, and non-aggression, all of which embody a benevolent heart and extend one’s own feelings to others.
Benevolence is the beginning of education. Those with Polis in their natal chart often engage in education or academic research.
Yi Wood represents small trees, flowers, and grasses. Being a weak element, it cannot be dealt with by force but must be addressed through reason, emotion, and wisdom, relying on its intellect and intelligence to survive. Therefore, Polis signifies high intelligence, wisdom, cleverness, and dexterity.
Polis is an active star, implying it is a traveling star. Outwardly quiet, but inwardly turbulent and full of fantasies.
Industry and Trade.
Motorcycles, small trains, household hardware, stairs (if Tianji is inauspicious, one may accidentally fall down the stairs), airplanes, small temples, religious circles, education circles, and the Five Arts circles.
Disease Symptoms.
Liver and gallbladder diseases, limb diseases, and diseases related to the nervous system.
Marital infidelity.
Positive statements indicate that the partner is emotionally sensitive and talented; negative statements indicate that the spouse is neurotic, mentally stressed, suffers from insomnia and anxiety, and is often suspicious of the marital relationship (because Polis represents movement and lacks stability), the spouse is prone to infidelity, and the relationship is unstable. [11]
Constellation Sagittarius
SAGITTARIUS. The Archer.
Legend. This constellation represents the wise and just Centaur Chiron, who was killed by accidentally dropping one of the poisoned arrows of Hercules upon his foot.
Influence. The following are Ptolemy’s remarks: “The stars at the point of the arrow in Sagittarius have influence similar to that of Mars and the Moon: those on the bow, and at the grasp of the hand, act like Jupiter and Mars . . . those in the waist and in the back resemble Jupiter, and also Mercury moderately: those in the feet, Jupiter and Saturn.” … By the Kabalists Sagittarius is associated with the Hebrew letter Vau and the 6th Tarot Trump “The Lovers.” [5]
Now called Sagittarius (Sgr), this constellation is the Domicile of Dianna and in classical times was also known as Diannae Sidus. It is a fortunate and fruitful constellation indicating events pertaining to kings or a large portion of mankind. [7]
