History of the star: A binary or double star in the Dragon, Draco; psi¹ and psi², 4.3 and 5.2, pearly white and yellow. The Arabic spelling for Dziban is Adh-Dhi'ban (1), "The two wolves" or "The Two Jackals". It was thought that with chi it was Al Anhakan, which we similarly find for zeta (Nodus 1) and eta.

In China it was Niu She, the Palace Governess, or a Literary Woman. 

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

The astrological influences of the constellation: "According to Ptolemy the bright stars are like Saturn and Mars. Draco gives an artistic and emotional but somber nature, a penetrating and analytical mind, much travel and many friends, but danger of robbery and accidental poisoning. It gives craft, ingenuity, and valor. The Ancients said that when a comet was here, poison was scattered over the world. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Mem and the 13^th Tarot Trump, Death". (Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology , Vivian E. Robson, 1923)
