Regulus
Regulus is a fixed star in Leo, at 0.1° Virgo, of the nature of Jupiter and Mars.
Longitude is the tropical position for 2020 from Agrippa's table as tabulated in modern reference works; fixed stars precess about 1 degree per 72 years, so a working should recompute the position for its own epoch. The gem and plant are Agrippa's, and where the gem is not itself a catalogued stone the value is the catalogue's family head, with Agrippa's own name in `gem_name`. Regulus is the heart of the lion and the most regal fixed star; the tradition warns that its gifts are lost if the bearer acts dishonourably.
