Turtle Beak:
A White Tiger Constellation
Key Star: Lamda Ori (Lamda Orionis)
The Turtle Beak has three stars. Ancient Chinese Astrologers call it Tsui, the beak or pouting lips, ruled by Mars. It's astrological symbolism is described thus:
Presaging punishments and exile; a fatality in the Yin year, the necessity to sell property, arraignment for murder, and a death sentence. These woeful portents are the results of wrongdoings which can be avoided. A stern warning.**
Early Arabian Astrologers called Turtle Beak Al Hak'ah. Here is their Portent:
Helps the return from a journey, the instruction of scholars, building, and gives health and goodwill. With Moon here, begin war but do not sow or undertake any good.*
In ancient India, Astrologers called Turtle Beak Mrigasiras, and offered the following Portent:
A soft asterism belonging to the serving caste and favorable for friendship, married love, purchase and making of clothes and ornaments, music, and auspicious deeds when containing the Moon. Those born on the lunar day will deal in perfumes, flowers, ornaments, and animals, will be lascivious and good writers or painters. With Moon here at birth native will be timid, capricious, skilful, talkative, rich, fond of pleasure. Rules cots and the brows.*
