Extended Net:

A Vermilion Bird Constellation

Key Star: Nu Hya (Nu Hydrae)

 

The "Extended Net" has six stars. Ancient Chinese Astrologers call it Chang, a drawn Bow, ruled by the Moon. The most ancient portents were that when the constellation could not be seen, the Emporer would become ill.** When the moon passes through this constellation, a Portent would be:

 

Right conduct us rewarded and riches are offered after a successful career. Business flouishes and relationships are harmonious and happy. New property will be acquired.**

 

Early Arabian Astrologers called Extended Net, Al Zubrah. An example of a Portent would be:

 

Good for voyages, gain by merchandise, redemption of captives. With Moon here, plant, marry but do not navigate.*

 

Early Astrologers in India called Extended Net Purva Phalguni. Following is an interpretation:

 

A severe asterism belonging to the Brahmin caste and favorable for acts of disgrace, destruction, deceit, imprisonment, beating, burning and poison when containing the Moon. Those born on the lunar day will be fond of women, dancing, art and trade, will remain youthful and deal in natural produce. With Moon here at birth native will be generous, handsome, submissive, of wandering habits and good speech. Rules uninhabited houses and the right arm.*
