Toliman

Toliman

Toliman, also called Rigil Kentaurus, is Alpha Centauri near 29 degrees of Scorpio, our nearest stellar neighbor. Robson ties it to honor and position but warns of self-analysis taken to excess and of friends who may become enemies. Brady reads the centaur as the wounded teacher. The star asks for honest relationship: held well it deepens intimacy and standing, held poorly it sours old bonds.
