Alnilam
Imum Coeli Conjunct Alnilam
Alnilam is the center of Orion's Belt, a star of brief fame and public notice. At the Imum Coeli it lives in the home and the family line: a foundation that draws attention, an ancestry with a moment in the light, roots that may become known beyond the private circle. The notice flares and fades, so anchor the base in something lasting and read the star with the rest of the chart.
