Pegasus
March 13 - April 1
Pegasus, the white Winged Horse of Inspiration with a mane of gold, rises in the east in August and sets in the west in January, in the northern hemisphere. In October it is high overhead, glittering on the zenith, and can be easily recognized, as its main stars form a 'Great Square'. The blue-white star, Markab, marks Pegasus' saddle, and the red giant Scheat, its forequarters, while Algenib marks the horse's wing. In ancient Babylon the stars that form the square of Pegasus were seen as the abode of the blessed dead.
