Aldebaran - Star of Victory and Courage

THigh in the winter sky, at the point of the Bull's face, one star burns a deep orange-red — Aldebaran, the Eye of Taurus, one of the four Royal Stars of ancient Persia and the sky's great Star of Victory. In this episode we explore its lore and its Mars-natured fire: what "victory" really means in this tradition, which isn't conquest but the courage to rise to the thing in front of you — the promotion you must ask for, the contest you mean to win, the leap you've been holding back from. We talk about the felt quality of the star (a heavyweight ally at your back, a locomotive force hard to stop) and the condition the old tradition places on its gift: power aimed upward, at worthy aims, held with integrity, never pointed at a rival. The warrior-king star, for everyone with a thing to win and the courage it takes to reach for it.  The podcast has an accompanying blog post: Aldebaran, the Eye of the Bull: The Warrior-King Star of Victory
