Hatsya, also known as Iota Orionis, is the star at the tip of Orion’s sword. It lies near the famous Orion Nebula (M42), a region of stellar birth and mystery. In mythology, Orion was a great hunter, associated with strength, bravery, and sometimes tragic downfall due to his arrogance. Hatsya symbolizes brilliant force, courageous pursuit, exploration of the unknown, and the dangers of overreaching ambition. It carries the mystique of creation and destruction, echoing the nebula’s life-giving and sometimes volatile energy.
