Wings: A Vermilion Bird Constellation
Key Star: Alpha Crt (Alpha Crateris or Alkes)
Wings has twenty-two stars. Ancient Chinese Astrologers call it Yen, wings or flanks ruled by Mars.* When the moon passes through this constellation, a Portent would be:
Continual or chronic illness and calamities befalling both the spouses of anyone married on this day. Those who take to outside work this day are likely to return home to find their wives in the arms of their lovers.**
Early Arabian Astrologers called Wings Al Sarfah. Here is an interpretation:
Gives prosperity to harvest and plantations, hinders seamen, good for the bettering of servants, captives and companions. With Moon here, travel, navigate, sow, plough, marry and send messengers.*
In Ancient India, Astrologers called Wings Uttara Phalguni and interpreted as follows:
A stable asterism belonging to the Kshattriya caste and favorable for coronations, expiatory ceremonies, planting of trees, sowing of seeds, building of towns, and matters of a permanent nature when containing the Moon. Those born on the lunar day will be mild, cleanly, wealthy, virtuous, generous, learned, modest and heretical and will have influential friends. With Moon here at birth native will be popular, learned, free from cares and will have an enjoyable life. Rules lakes and the left arm.*
