James
supplanter, one who follows, leadership
James traces back to the Hebrew Jacob, and its traditional meaning is often given as 'supplanter' or 'one who follows' -- though the name has been reshaped by centuries of use into something that reads more like steadiness than rivalry. It's a name commonly linked with quiet reliability rather than any dramatic origin story.

✦ Astro Quote
The event of every enterprise that is doubtful, is terminated by these significators, viz., by the fourth house and his lord, and the planet strong in the same; also by the light of the time and the lord thereof; and by the planet, and his dispositor to whom the said light of the time is conjoined. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
