Sirius
Fixed star: SIRIUS Canicula Constellation: Alpha [font=Arial,Helvetica]Canis Major[/font] Longitude 1900: 12CAN42. Longitude 2000: 14CAN05. Declination 1900: -16.35'. Declination 2000: -16.42'. Right ascension: 06h45m. Latitude: -39.36'. Spectral class: A1. Magnitude: -1.46. Suggested orb: 1 deg. approx. Planetary nature: Jup-Mar
History of the star: Sirius is the largest and most brilliant star in the heavens, a binary star, brilliant white and yellow, situated in the mouth of the greater dog Canis Major.
Its popular Graeco-Egyptian name was "the Brightly Radiating One".
In mythology, Sirius played an important role. The dog symbolism of Canis Major and its Lucida, Sirius, goes back to at least the 3rd millennium BC.
In early astrology and poetry there is no end to the evil influences that were attributed to Sirius;
"The brightest be, but sign to mortal man Of evil augury"...
"Terrific glory! for his burning breath taints the red air with fevers, plagues and death" ...
"The rampant Lyon hunts he fast with dogge of noisome breath. Whose baleful barking brings in bast pyne, plagues and dreerye death"...
"The dogstar, that burning constellation, when be brings drought and diseases on sickly mortals, rises and saddens the sky with inauspicious light"...
"Swift Sirius, scorching thirsty Ind, Was hot in heaven"...
"Restless, Impetuous, Blazing"...
But these expressions as to the hateful character of the Dog Star may have been induced in part from the evil reputation of the dog in the East, where dogs are rabid scavengers and do not have the exalted position in the home that is given to them nowadays in the West.
In astrology wealth and renown were the happy lot of all born under this and its companion Dog Procyon (alpha Canis Minor).
Sirius was believed by the ancients to be the central Sun of the Milky Way; and the poet Manilius said that it was "a distant Sun to illuminate remote bodies".
