Cardano on fixed stars in De iudiciis geniturarum (1547)
Stars at the border of Sagittarius, the three ones of third magnitude near or over the arrow, have a great influence in producing murderers.

Stade on Fixed stars
Fixed stars have a prominent part in traditional astrology: Ptolemy in the first book of Tetrabiblos lists them without giving any meaning, but we have several alternative sources for them, Manilius and Firmicus in the Latin world, Anonymous of 379 and two chapters from Liber Hermetis in theABOUT ME
