ALTERF ✦ LAMBDA LEONIS
“The Lion’s Glance”
Perception · Restraint · Courage · Self-Command
Alterf is a star in the constellation Leo. Its traditional name comes from the Arabic aṭ-ṭarf, meaning “the glance,” traditionally understood as the glance of the Lion’s eye. In classical depictions, however, Lambda Leonis is positioned in the Lion’s open mouth.
In traditional fixed-star astrology, Alterf is given the combined planetary nature of Saturn and Mars. Saturn represents restraint, endurance and self-command, while Mars represents courage, will and decisive action.
Spiritually, Alterf carries the energy of seeing clearly before you act - observing what is before you, holding your ground and choosing where to direct your strength.
A star for perception with purpose — seeing, knowing, and then moving.
