oooh, i love this stuff.  i think the site which lorien references 
is http://www.winshop.com.au/annew/Bellatrix.html -- there's 
a lot of great info there, including an obscure astronomical 
connection between Bellatrix and Sirius that i'm not entirely 
sure i grok.  my favorite part under 'Influence of the Star':  
"It is said to give a strong and dignified nature, self-
confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, 
and prosperity in trade and particularly in voyages or 
abroad, but danger of treachery and poison."  

indeed.  :>

i just have to say again that i am loving Bellatrix as a new 
character... such potential for non-cookie-cutter nastiness.
