Aldebaran Behenian

Aldebaran is directly attested in the local Behenian source base. In De Quindecim Stellis and Agrippa's adaptation it belongs to the fixed fifteen-star corpus, which gives us a much firmer foundation than the older unsourced draft did. (Hess and Warnock, De Quindecim Stellis; Agrippa, Three Books, Book II, ch. 47)

The local texts also give Aldebaran concrete materia. Warnock's summary of the Bodleian material and Agrippa's list pair the star with carbuncle or ruby and with milky thistle. The magical operation preserved in those sources is not vague celebrity symbolism. It is narrower: honor, riches, and elevation when the star is engaged under the right conditions, especially with the Moon and the angles. (Warnock, Fixed Star, Sign and Constellation Magic; Agrippa, Three Books, Book I)

Brady's glossary adds a concise modern keyword that fits that older material well: strong integrity. That is useful as a later interpretive gloss, but the historical core of the page should remain the older promise of dignity, wealth, and rank rather than a long generalized personality reading. (Brady, Brady's Book of Fixed Stars)

For practical use, Aldebaran makes the most sense beside Behenian Star Timing and Behenian Star Talismans. The local source base supports a technical stellar operation, not a generic success formula.
