In astrology, "fixed stars" indicate stars that do not move and can be always found in the same place in the sky, as opposed to planets which move against the zodiac. Fixed stars are what we love in constellations, such as Sirius in Canis Major, or Regulus in Leo. Fixed stars are said to have a lot of impact upon traits in personality and life path, although they are much less talked about than planets, and add an additional layer to one's astrological profile.
Every fixed star has qualities or energy.
When a fixed star is close to some major point in your natal chart, like the Sun, Moon, or Ascendant (the rising sign), one would have said that the quality of that fixed star likely expresses and defines your personality, they said. Regulus was said to stress leadership and martial prowess, along with honor. When Regulus is in your Sun or Ascendant, many astrologers believe you might have very strong leadership qualities or naturally be geared to taking charge in many situations.
