Fixed stars that has similar attributes to Venus or Jupiter will be fortunate and likely to show success, while a star having similar attributes to Mars or Saturn will be unfortunate and likely to show difficulties. Some fixed stars are more often taken into account than others are as they are near the ecliptic, such as the four Royal stars. Most of the fixed stars are used primarily in Horary, Electional and Mundane astrology.
To be significant in a birth chart, or any other chart, the fixed stars have to have a tight orb of 1 degree in their aspects, and only the conjunction, opposition and parallel aspects are used. Naturally, the conjunction is the strongest and most reliable contact as it has been said that the fixed stars cast no rays. The opposition only has influence by virtue of its polarity. The fixed stars have more importance when very close to any of the angles or when very close to the sun or moon. The meaning mostly depends on which planet the star is expected to. If it is expected to a benefic such as Venus or Jupiter, the better qualities of the star will be apparent, while the reverse applies if it is expected to one of the malefics such as Mars or Saturn.

The fixed stars have their significance in Astrology. The fixed stars have been used in astrology as additional indicators of various things for thousands of years. The fixed stars were known as fixed as the stars did not appear to move in the same way as the planets do, which are also known as the wandering stars. These stars are not rigidly fixed however, moving approximately one degree every 72 years so their positions have changed over time. They have a nature similar to those of the planets.
