Alpha (α) Pavo, Peacock, is a star in the starry tail of the Peacock.
It is said to represent Argos, the builder of the ship Argo, who was changed into a peacock by Juno when Argo Navis was placed in the heavens. [Robson*, p.55.] See Star Tales for the story.
Pavo is said to give vanity and love of display, together with a long life and sometimes fame. [Robson*, p.55.]
