ALGIEBA ✦ GAMMA LEONIS
“The Lion’s Forehead”
Intellect · Strategy · Discernment · Self-Control
Algieba is a star system in the constellation Leo. Its traditional name comes from the Arabic al-jabhah, meaning “the forehead.” Despite the meaning of its name, Algieba is depicted within the Lion’s mane.
In traditional fixed-star astrology, Algieba is given the planetary nature of Saturn and Mercury. Saturn represents discipline, restraint and endurance, while Mercury represents intellect, perception and communication.
Spiritually, Algieba carries the energy of disciplined thought and discerning perception - knowing when to observe, when to speak and when to hold your ground. It represents the ability to combine a sharp mind with patience and self-command.
A star for trusting your perception, thinking for yourself and using your mind with intention.
A lovely little fact: Algieba is a binary star system, consisting of two giant stars gravitationally bound to one another.
