After a hectic and stressful day in office you are still fresh and willing to drop your colleague miles away from your home. How did you get all love and vitality? One explanation: you are born with the star Mebsuta guiding you. This fascinating star makes an ordinary person a caring and at the same time strong leader. Let me explain about the star Mebsuta in this blog post outlining, its astronomy and Cosmics, so that you can change your lifestyle and embark upon improving your life.
1) Astronomy
The name of the star Mebsuta is derived from Arabic “Al-Mabsuta” meaning “outstretched”. Astronomically known as Epsilon Gemini, Mebsuta is a double star in the Gemini constellation. Located in the ecliptical plane, this star is often passed by the Moon technically known as “occulted”. Other planets whistle by, but occultation is somewhat rare. The last incident of such occultation occurred on August 4, 1976 when Mars passed by Mebsuta.
Location of Mebsuta is interesting; from its position at Right Ascension (Celestial longitude) 6 hours 44 minutes and 33 seconds and Declination (Celestial latitude) of 25 degree 7 minutes and 14 seconds if you draw a line to south-east you will notice a three star combination. The first one being Mebsuta on the top, the second one in middle being Mekbuda (known as Zeta Gemini) and the last one being Kebash (known as Lambda Gemini). Interestingly Mebsuta is just above the ecliptical plane whereas Mekbuda just below the ecliptical line.
Fifth brightest star in the Gemini Constellation, Mebsuta is considered as a double star.The primary star has 3.2 magnitude of brightness and glows in white to yellowish colour. Its companion however is a small 9.5 magnitude blue star. The latter appears to our eyes as close to star Mebsuta though it is about 110 arc seconds away in the deep sky. Star Mebsuta is burning helium at the core like our Sun and losing its mass steadily. As a rare type of super giant, Mebsuta is much cooler than our Sun at 4,360 Kelvin belying its classification as “G8Ib Star” generally given to yellow stars like our Sun whose surface temperature must be above 5000 Calvin. This may be due to its long distance at 900 light years away and its brightness in luminosity of some 7,600 times the Sun and its size of about 150 times the Sun. What a great super giant!
2) Cosmics
2.1) Gemini Constellation
The legend of Gemini constellation is well known. In Greek Mythology, Gemini relates to twin brothers born to one mother and two fathers. Pollux the elder was born to Zeus who creeps in on the wedding night of Leda as a Swan and beds her; Castor was born to Tyndareus, King of Sparta to whom Leda is lawfully wedded. While Pollux is immortal Castor is mortal. Pollux is a pugilist whereas Castor is a horseman. Both are inseparable twins. Castor was fatally wounded in a battle with Idas who is their mutual cousin. Pollux could not console himself with the death of his twin brother and pleads with Zeus to take his life as well. Zeus so impressed by the brotherly love shown by Pollux towards Castor, places them in the sky as immortal stars symbolizing love and affection between two brothers. The star Mebsuta is located on the right knee of Castor. Interestingly, the star Mekbuda mentioned earlier is located on the left knee of Pollux. The ancients used to swear by the name of Gemini when making oaths or transactions.
2.2) Lunar Mansion
Mebsuta is in the sixth Lunar Mansion (Arabic Al- Manzil Al-Qamar) of “Al- Hannah (The Mark)”. Those who are born under this lunar mansion have noble virtues; they work hard and never lose their love and vitality. This lunar mansion has a mixed bag; on one hand it makes a person born under it to toil hard ; on the other hand it preserves such persons unscathed from failures and disappointments making them paragons of virtue.
2.3) Improving Your Life
Mebsuta can influence your life as a Birth star, Rising star, Culminating star and Lucky star depending on the sky map cast at the time, date and place of your birth.
