Canopus
Imum Coeli Conjunct Canopus
Canopus, the great pilot star, carries the navigator's long voyage and a change for the better, and at the nadir it touches home, ancestry, and the soul's base. Your foundation may be one of journeys, migrations, or a family that moved toward something better, a home built through passage rather than staying put. Read Canopus with the whole chart, since one star colors your roots but does not dictate them.
