Calculate Sheratan in the natal chart

Sheratan (Beta Arietis) is located in the head of the constellation Aries, the Ram. In mythology, Aries is linked to the Golden Ram that rescued Phrixus and Helle, children of a Boeotian king. This ram was later sacrificed, and its golden fleece became a legendary prize pursued by Jason and the Argonauts.

Sheratan itself represents the bold, initiating energy of Aries — the primal force of spring, new beginnings, and courageous battles. It is associated with aggressive assertion, quick action, and sometimes recklessness.

Astronomically, Sheratan is a binary star, which adds themes of dualism — cooperation versus competition — into its influence.

Positive Influence

• Courage and initiative: Individuals with Sheratan strongly placed are natural pioneers, daring to venture where others hesitate.
• Quick reactions and mental sharpness: There’s an alert, instinctual intelligence — excellent for competitive fields, innovation, and leadership.
• Energetic charisma: Sheratan brings a vibrant presence that can inspire or ignite action in others.
• Strategic boldness: When disciplined, Sheratan gives the ability to take calculated risks that pay off.

Negative Influence

• Impulsiveness: Acting without sufficient thought, leading to accidents or conflicts.
• Aggressiveness and combative nature: Easily provoked, individuals may be prone to arguments, disputes, or even violence.
• Restlessness: A tendency toward impatience, dissatisfaction, or an inability to stay committed for the long haul.
• Self-sabotage: Risk of rushing into situations unprepared, leading to falls from high positions or loss of hard-won gains.

Behavior Tactics

• Channel impulsivity into strategy: Learn to pause briefly before acting. Quick reactions can stay an asset if decisions are made consciously, not emotionally.
• Cultivate patience and foresight: Especially important in interpersonal dealings and long-term projects.
• Focus physical energy into sports, martial arts, or competitive pursuits: Healthy outlets can prevent destructive outbursts.
• Practice self-awareness regarding aggression: Recognize when you’re about to confront unnecessarily and redirect the energy productively.
• Seek partnerships where dynamic action is supported by wise counsel: Avoid purely competitive or antagonistic environments.

Summary

Sheratan grants boldness, quick thinking, and dynamic leadership, but carries the risk of self-defeat through rashness. Properly harnessed, its energy can make someone a formidable force for change, innovation, and courage. However, balance, patience, and emotional regulation are essential to avoid the destructive sides of this star.
