Hadar

Hadar is a concept from ancient Hebrew astronomy and astrology, referring to a "fugitive star" or "wandering star," which is an early term for planets. Historically, the term was used to describe celestial bodies that moved differently from the fixed stars, highlighting their apparent motion across the sky. In modern understanding, Hadar is associated with the bright star Beta Centauri in the constellation Centaurus. It holds significance in various cultural and historical contexts, especially in navigation and astrology, symbolizing movement, change, and guidance.
