Alcyone
Imum Coeli Conjunct Alcyone
Alcyone, brightest of the Pleiades, carries far sight and ambition shadowed by an old sorrow, and at the nadir it touches home, family, and the soul's base. An ancestral grief may live in your foundation alongside a clear, far-reaching inner sight that the sorrow itself seems to deepen. Read Alcyone with the whole chart, since one star colors your roots but does not dictate them, and its edge rewards conscious handling.
