Sirius
Sirius
The brightest star in the night sky, in Canis Major, tied to ambition, fame, and a touch of the sacred. It has been honored as special since ancient Egypt., 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.
