The Fixed Stars

Sadalbari

Mu Pegasi, Sa'd al-Bari

From the Arabic sa'd al-bari, the lucky star of the excelling one, or of the splendid. It stands at about 27° Pisces (tropical).

The fortune of the one who excels, a lucky-star name near the shoulder.

Sadalbari is Mu Pegasi, a yellow star set near the shoulder and body of the horse, and its name comes from the Arabic sa'd al-bari, read as the lucky star of the excelling or splendid one. It is one more of the 'sa'd' fortune-names that cluster through this quarter of Pegasus, its meaning pointing to distinction and good fortune. The tradition preserves its name-meaning and little settled planetary delineation beyond it.

One of the Arabic 'sa'd' lucky-star names; the name reads as the fortunate star of the one who excels. Little planetary lore attached.
