Mintaka
Imum Coeli Conjunct Mintaka
Mintaka, a star of Orion's Belt carrying good fortune and a steadying luck, settles at the nadir, 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.
