Sirius
Sirius
Sirius, the brightest star in the sky and the Scorcher of antiquity, was tied to the sacred fire and the heliacal rising that once marked the Nile flood; it is of the nature of Jupiter and Mars. It confers ambition, fame, honor, and a burning drive to rise, with the heat to match: great success that can scorch if pursued without measure. It marks the soul aimed at something larger than itself.
