History of the star: "The Bull's southern Horn", this star marks the tip of the southern horn of the Great Bull Taurus. It was the determinant of the 7th ecliptic constellation of Babylonia, Shur-narkabti-sha-shutu, the "Star in the Bull towards the South", or the "Southern Star towards the Chariot". With other stars nearby, it was the Chinese Tien Kwan, the "Heavenly Gate". In astrology zeta, has been considered of mischievous influence.

[Star Names, Their Lore and Meaning, Richard Hinchley Allen, 1889].  

In slang, to have the ability to deal with difficult situations forcefully and decisively, is to "take the bull by the horns". The horns of Taurus are shaped like a crescent moon. There was an Assyrian saying "to break the horn of the bull" is "to break the power". Taurus, was called the "Breaker" or "Opener" of the new year when it marked the vernal equinox from about 4000 to 1700 B.C. and in astronomical symbolism the bull is shown breaking the annular egg with his horns.  

Etymology: AL HEEKA bull’s southern horn. In Arabic, hakka is to scratch or gore. Hebrew HaKHaH is a fishing hook, and, of course, the source of English HOOK. Fishing requires patience as well as angling with a hook, so the notable Taurus patience might be a factor here, before there is an explosion of horned anger. Hebrew HaCKeH also means to wait. The star description mentions power, another meaning of the Hebrew and English source of “horn.” The unprovoked AL HEEKA native can be gentle, but when the horns finally do come down, you don’t want to run those Pamplona streets. [Isaac Mozeson, author of The Word Dictionary].

The astrological influences given by Manilius for the constellation Taurus:

The Bull will dower the countryside with honest farmers and will come as a source of toil into their peaceful lives; it will bestow, not gifts of glory, but the fruits of the earth. It bows its neck amid the stars and of itself demands a yoke for its shoulders. When it carries the sun's orb on its horns, it bids battle with the soil begin and rouses the fallow land to its former cultivation, itself leading the work, for it neither pauses in the furrows nor relaxes its breast in the dust. The sign of the Bull has produced a Serranus and a Curius, has carried the rods of office through the fields, and has left its plough to become a dictator. [eque suo dictator venit aratro] Its sons have the love of unsung excellence ; their hearts and bodies derive strength from a massiveness that is slow to move, whilst in their faces dwells the boy-god Love. [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, book 4, p.233].
