The Behenian Stars (Part Two)

It should be noted that Sol (the Sun) is considered a Behenian star in alternate systems, and that the Hyades are sometimes considered Behenian along with Aldebaran. There is also some variance in the identification of some stars. Polaris is sometimes exchanged for Alkaid, and Algorab is often considered in set with Gienah. 

 Behenian astrology is a whole other branch of the astrological art and the place where astrology and alchemy intersect.
