Fixed star Sirius

Since ancient times, the star Sirius has held great importance in the physical and spiritual life of many cultures and mystical teachings. According to some theories, just as the Earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun, our Sun and the entire solar system revolve around Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky.

This time of year marks when our Sun first enters into conjunction with Sirius (until July 7), followed by the heliacal rising of Sirius (from July 20 to the end of August). During late autumn, winter, and spring, Sirius is visible in the night sky after sunset. However, around July 20, Sirius begins to rise heliacally, becoming visible at dawn before sunrise, a phenomenon continuing through August.

Within the zodiac, Sirius is placed at the 14th degree of Cancer, influencing those with an ASC or MC here or personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars). It symbolizes power, wealth, and good luck, bringing honor, glory, prosperity, fire, devotion, dedication, and passion, according to Ptolemy. Sirius, known as the star of Isis, brings victory and success and is associated with great teachers.

Esoterically, Sirius, the brightest star, represents divine transformation, guiding us from unconsciousness to a state of divine realization. This transformation involves the union of male and female principles (myth of Isis and Osiris), leading to the birth of a new, divine child with enlightened knowledge. This period is ideal for devotion and connection with that polarity within us, the masculine and feminine, to experience rebirth as a divine child with an opened eye of Horus - the third eye.

Sirius is considered the brother Sun of our solar system, bringing enlightenment and elevation to humanity.
