Ascendant Conjunct Alkaid

With your natal Ascendant conjunct the fixed star Alkaid, the star's nature marks your self and how you meet the world: the Bear's tail, a mourning star that can face crisis and death. The Ascendant magnifies and makes central whatever a star signifies, so this is a real mark on this part of you. Read it together with Alkaid's full nature and the rest of the chart; a single star colors but does not dictate.
