Homer spoke of it as a star “Whose burning breath, Taints the red air with fevers, plagues, and death.” It is not, however, of its heat that its name speaks, but of the fact that it is the brightest of all the stars, as He of whom it witnesses is the “Prince of princes,” “the Prince of the Kings of the earth.” Virgil says that Sirius “With pestilential heat infects the sky.” And the hottest part of the year we still call “the dog days,” though, through the variation as observed in different latitudes, and the precession of the equinoxes, its rising has long ceased to have any relation to those days. Sirius (our English “Sir” is derived from this word) was, by the ancients, always associated with great heat. Harshly aspected it can show a psychotic person truly a menace to himself and the community, but in better condition we have here the star of the truly Great figures in every field of human endeavor. Sirius marks immense creative talents in any field at all with ‘only’ the warning that there may be more inner power than can be safely managed. Possibly, the rise in station is made possible by protection from people of influence. Sirius in conjunction with the Sun and well placed in the chart will be found to be the case with numerous important and famous personalities. This star so placed is most excellent for military, lawyers and civil servants. In good aspect with Mars and Jupiter and close to the MC, promise is given of gaining extensive wealth, a lucky hand in commercial enterprise or matters of government. According to tradition, Sirius will give a famous death with honors beyond the grave, if positioned in the 8th house. Well connected, it promises fame, honors and riches. Rules beryl, savine, mugwort, dragonwort and the tongue of a snake.

It gives honor, the goodwill and favor of men and the airy spirits, and the power to pacify nobles and others. Sirius is one of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars. It also gives danger of dog bites, and two examples of this effect will be found under Procyon. Fixed star Sirius is of the nature of Jupiter and Mars (high ambition, pride, love of power, grandeur of view.) It gives honor, renown, wealth, ardor, faithfulness, devotion, passion and resentment, and makes its natives custodians, curators and guardians.
