Lesath
Lesath
Lesath, near 24 degrees of Sagittarius at the scorpion's sting, sits beside Shaula on the stinger. Robson gives it danger, desperation, immorality, and acute illness or accident, a sharply malefic cast. Brady reads the scorpion's tail as the place of the lethal point, the crisis that forces a reckoning. The caution is genuine; its constructive face is the surgeon's precision, the cut that is meant to heal.
