Shaula
Shaula
Shaula, Lambda Scorpii at the scorpion's raised stinger near 24 degrees of Sagittarius, is the brightest of the stinger stars. Robson ties it to malefic danger and crisis, but it also carries a penetrating, almost surgical insight into what is hidden. Brady reads the sting as the point that pierces to the truth. Held with discipline it sees through pretense; held poorly it wounds or is wounded.
