The Atlanteans revered the power of the zodiac and the alignment of the heavens for support of their arcane powers. One element of the ruins of these peoples is the reliance on the structure and lore of this system.

The planets are:

Scorpio is associated with the star Fomalhaut. The star Fomalhaut is sometimes called the Autumn Star. It appears in a part of the sky that’s largely empty of bright stars. For this reason, in skylore, Fomalhaut is often called the Lonely One or Solitary One. It’s an easy star to spot. Fomalhaut is more or less opposite the sun in early September right as Scorpio is in ascendance in the zodiac. In early September, Fomalhaut reaches its midnight culmination, meaning that it is highest in the sky to the south at local midnight. Finding Fomalhaut at the time it culminates is easiest, but this happens at different times on different dates.

Fomalhaut is probably is the most southerly bright star that many North Americans know. Granted, a few bright stars farther to the south are visible from tropical and subtropic northern latitudes, but these brighter stars lurk near or beneath the horizon as seen as from middle and far northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. It is known to be the source of arcane power of a destructive nature, and can be used in certain rituals to increase the potency of spells bent on massive damage.

Aldebaran is the brightest star in the constellation Taurus and is known as the “Eye of Taurus.” The name “Aldebaran” is Arabic, which means “The Follower” because it appears to follow the Hyades star cluster that forms the head of the bull. It is visible between December and the end of April and is known to be a source of arcane power of a sinister nature.
