Regulus, the alpha star at the heart of the Leo constellation, is also known as Cor Leonis, Latin for “Heart of the Lion.” It is said that those born under this star possesses the qualities of a leader, blending the might of Jupiter with the courage of Mars. As one of the four Royal Stars, Regulus is said to bestow courage, resilience, and a natural authority capable of overcoming adversity with a noble, independent spirit. As Hermes describes in Liber Hermetis Quadripartitis, a lion carved on garnet brings abundance, honor, joy to the heart, and triumph over sadness. According to the Bodleian Manuscript, Regulus talismans dispel anger, relieve melancholy, temper the spirit, and attract favor.
