23°13′ Cancer ✦ Who would you give half of your forever to?
Some loves ask for more than our time. They ask for a share of what makes us who we are, and a few people give it without counting.
To its people, Pollux brings a loyalty that spends its own advantage on the ones they love, and a strength that takes the blow and stays standing. Those born under it often come back from a loss wiser and steadier, keeping their force quiet until someone needs it. In return the star asks them to look at the bargains they live by, so that what they give stays mutual, and to remember that enduring is a gift rather than a duty.
Its myth is one of the tenderest in the sky. Leda bore twin sons with different fathers: Castor, the mortal horseman, and Pollux, the son of Zeus, born immortal. The brothers were inseparable. When Castor was killed, Pollux would not keep an immortality his brother was shut out of, and Zeus let them share it, so the twins spend their days together, half on Olympus and half in the dark.
Albert Camus was born with Mars on Pollux. He grew up in a poor quarter of Algiers, raised by a mother who was nearly deaf and could not read, and his devotion to her runs through his life and his books. His last novel, The First Man, was found unfinished after his death, and at its head he had written a dedication to her: “To you who will never be able to read this book.”
Do you have Pollux in your chart? If you were born around 15–16 July, or a planet of yours stands near 23° Cancer, this star is yours. Tell me in the comments, and share how it shows up in your life.
You can read the whole of Pollux in my free Book of Fixed Stars, with the calculator that finds your own stars. I share one fixed star at a time here, so follow along and you will meet them one by one.
Comment STARS and I will send you the book ✦
