The name “Coxa” is Latin for “hip” and refers to the hip or flank of the Lion. The traditional Arabic name “Chort” may derive from “Al-Kharat,” meaning “the small rib” or “string of pearls.” In classical mythology, Leo represents the Nemean Lion, slain by Hercules as the first of his twelve labors. While stars like Regulus represent the heart and nobility of Leo, Coxa connects more to the body and grounding of the Lion — where power becomes structure.
Symbolically, Coxa can be associated with the mechanics of power, organization, intellectual reasoning, and the execution of leadership through systems rather than charisma.
Positive Influence
- Strategic intelligence and clear reasoning.
- Ability to plan long-term and organize complex systems.
- Grounded and structured in behavior — people with this influence take responsibility seriously.
- May possess a quiet but firm authority, like a “backbone” in professional or family systems.
- Supportive and stabilizing to others, particularly in leadership or advisory roles.
Negative Influence
- Overemphasis on structure can lead to rigidity or inflexibility.
- May suppress emotions in favor of logic or procedure.
- Can become overly focused on control or efficiency, neglecting creativity or empathy.
- Potential for becoming bureaucratic, cold, or aloof in leadership positions.
Behavior Tactics
- Use your natural organizational abilities to support group or collective efforts — you thrive in leadership when structure is needed.
- Don’t neglect emotional intelligence — logic is your strength, but people follow heart as much as mind.
- Balance planning with adaptability — allow room for spontaneity or emotion-based decision-making.
- When working with others, be careful not to dominate processes purely for the sake of “efficiency.”
Summary
Coxa (Chort) offers a mental and structural energy. It’s not flamboyant or power-hungry like other Leo stars; instead, it supports behind-the-scenes power — the kind that comes from organizing, rationalizing, and holding things together. Those with strong Coxa placements may be the quiet strategists or systemic thinkers that enable leaders to succeed and institutions to thrive.
