Polaris
Polaris, the Pole Star and steady lodestar of the north, is the great guide, of the nature of Saturn and Venus: it marks direction, spiritual orientation, and the capacity to lead others home, with an older tradition also tying it to trouble to be navigated. It marks the fixed point one steers by.
