Mythology & History
Vega takes its name from a transliteration of the Arabic al-Nasr al-Waqi, meaning 'the swooping eagle' or 'the falling vulture.' In the oldest Greek traditions, the constellation Lyra represented the lyre invented by Hermes from a tortoise shell and given to Apollo, who in turn gave it to Orpheus. After Orpheus was torn apart by the Maenads for refusing to worship any god but Apollo after losing Eurydice, the Muses placed his lyre among the stars. In Chinese and Japanese mythology, Vega represents the Weaving Girl (Zhi Nu), separated from her lover the Cowherd (Altair) by the celestial river of the Milky Way, reunited only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month.
As a Behenian star, Vega was associated with chrysolite and winter savory, and its talismans were crafted for charm, eloquence, and the ability to overcome fear. Ptolemy assigned it the nature of Venus and Mercury, and it has been considered one of the most beneficent stars in the sky for artistic, musical, and intellectual pursuits. Vega served as the pole star approximately 12,000 years ago and will do so again around the year 13,700 CE. Its extreme brightness (magnitude 0.03) and distinctive blue-white color have made it one of the most studied stars in the history of astronomy. In astrology, Vega is associated with idealistic, refined, artistic talent of the highest order.
Lyra Context
Vega dominates the tiny constellation Lyra, the celestial lyre whose music was said to be so beautiful it could charm animals, move rocks, and convince the gods of the underworld to release the dead. As the lyre of Orpheus, it represents the supreme power of art and music to transcend mortal limitations. The constellation is small but contains several objects of deep astronomical interest, including the Ring Nebula. Vega's position near the zenith of the northern sky during summer makes it one of the most prominent stars visible from northern latitudes.
