Calculate Hamal in the natal chart

Hamal is the Alpha star of Aries, representing the head of the Ram in the zodiac. The Ram is associated with spring, new beginnings, and courageous action. In mythology, Aries is linked to the Golden Ram of the story of Phrixus and Helle, which was sent by the gods to rescue the siblings. The Ram sacrificed itself to save Phrixus, and its golden fleece later became a quest for Jason and the Argonauts. Hamal carries themes of sacrifice, leadership, and primal force.
