Any astrologists in the house?

For the past week or so I've been noticing this star that dims and then brightens pretty doggone bright. I'm in west midtown looking East/Northeast. Tried using some of the apps out there to identify it but they don't tell me anything other than the constellation. Anyone have any idea what star this could possibly be or at least why it's doing it? It's piqued my interest.

Down load "Star Chart" onto your cell. Its basically a GPS of the sky. Open the app - point your cell at the sky & it will identify whatever your cell is pointed at. I used it to learn the night sky.

I think the Space Station has been making some evening passes the past few days.

The movement of air (aka turbulence) in the atmosphere of Earth causes starlight to slightly bent as it travels through the atmosphere. So some of the light reaches us directly and some gets bent slightly away, giving the appearance of dimming/ flickering.

is in the seventh hour,
and Jupiter
lies with Mars,
then peace will guide the planets
and love will steer the stars!
THIS IS THE DAWNING OF THE AGE OF AQUARIUS,
the Age of Aquarius..."

Are astrologists like proctologists?
