Parumleo: the pale star of Pisces
pale · Pisces · WASP-32
Parumleo is a pale star in the constellation Pisces, one of the stars with a proper name recognised in the IAU Catalog of Star Names. At magnitude 11.41 it is a binocular or telescope object.
Most stars in the sky are anonymous points of light. Parumleo is not. Some IAU-recognised names are ancient; others were adopted by the IAU only recently. Either way, the star already has a scientific identity, and a dedication attaches a human story to it.

J2000 catalogue coordinates that can be independently cross-checked against astronomical databases. A planetarium app showing coordinates of date will differ slightly, because proper motion and precession move a star’s apparent position over time.
What kind of star is Parumleo?
Parumleo is catalogued as a pale star and its spectral type is not cleanly classified in the data behind this page, so what follows stays with what has been measured rather than what could be inferred from it.
The light you are looking at is old
Parumleo is about 913 light years away, so the light reaching you now set out around 1113. You are not looking at the star as it is. You are looking at the star as it was, and there is no way to see it any other way.
That delay is the part people find hardest and like most. A star is the one thing you can give someone that was already old before either of you was born and will outlast anything else you could have chosen.
It sits at the edge of what an unaided eye can do, so finding it is a deliberate act rather than an accident.
What could a Parumleo dedication represent?
Parumleo is especially meaningful for someone who:
- · Deserves something older than any gift shop
- · Marks a beginning, an anniversary or a promise
- · Is remembered every time you look up
- · Has a light you want recorded somewhere permanent
Dedication idea
“For the one I think of when I find Pisces in the sky.”
Where can you see Parumleo?
It sits 1° north of the celestial equator, so it clears the horizon everywhere short of latitude 89°S, in practice, every inhabited latitude on Earth. It passes directly overhead at latitude 1°N. It stands highest at midnight in September, so September and October evenings are the best time to look. At magnitude 11.41 it sits below naked-eye reach; binoculars or a small telescope will find it.
Parumleo belongs to Pisces.
What does Parumleo mean in astrology?
The classical fixed-star tradition: Ptolemy, the medieval Behenian lists, Robson’s 1923 compilation. Is silent on Parumleo, and we don’t invent lore where none exists. What astrology can still read is the star’s real position, below.
Projected onto the zodiac the way fixed-star astrology reads any star, Parumleo stands at 4° Aries at the J2000 epoch, and the Sun passes that degree around 24 March in the years around 2000. Fixed-star longitude shifts slowly against the tropical zodiac because of precession, about one degree every seventy-two years, so a natal conjunction must be calculated for the birth year rather than read off this J2000 value or a calendar date.
Traditional interpretations, not facts or predictions. The position and dates are computed.
