Mintaka
Imum Coeli Conjunct Mintaka
Mintaka, a star of Orion's Belt carrying good fortune and a steadying luck, settles at the The bottom of the chart, another name for the Imum Coeli. It represents your innermost base and where you come from., the soul's base where home and ancestry live. It tends to grant a stable foundation, a family line or dwelling that holds you upright when the surface shakes. Read Mintaka with the whole chart, since a single star colors your roots but does not dictate them.
