In 1900 it was around 9 degrees of Virgo. It is located in the constellation Leo, on the lion's rump, and lies about 58 light-years from Earth.įor our astrological purposes the position of Zosma is currently around 11.19 Virgo. The fixed star commonly known as Zosma (translates as 'girdle' 'loincloth' or 'enzonement') is also known as Delta Leonis or Duhr. It isn't close to anything in my own natal chart, but for some reason my eye is often drawn to its position. I have no clue as to why this one attracts my attention. There's one other fixed star that occasionally catches my eye in natal charts: Zosma. Algol has been known to live up to its reputation, and is worth noting if close to a personal planet or sensitive point in natal charts. I'm inclined to ignore the fixed stars (as against wandering planets) in astrology, with the exception of Algol, traditionally thought to be 'unfortunate'.
