Antares
Antares
A fiery red Royal Star in Scorpio, tied to courage, intensity, and battles worth fighting. Like the other Royal Stars, its rewards carry a catch., the rival of Mars and the red Heart of the Scorpion, is the Royal Star watching the west, of the nature of Mars and Jupiter. It gives courage, intensity, and force, with a built-in shadow of obsessiveness, extremism, and a tendency toward self-undoing through one's own passions. It marks the fierce, all-or-nothing temperament that can rise high or destroy itself.
