I'm opening this thread to discuss this star influence. Anyone had experiences with it?
Robson, via Constellation of Words:
"According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Jupiter and Mars and, to Alvidas, of the Moon, Jupiter and Mars. It gives honor, renown, wealth, ardor, faithfulness, devotion, passion and resentment, and makes its natives custodians, curators and guardians. It also gives danger of dog bites, and two examples of this effect will be found under Procyon. "
Separating terms with similar meanings:
Honor/Renown/Wealth
Passion/Ardor
Faithfulness/Devotion
Resentment
-> Custodians/Curators/Guardians
The general description seems to describe a "honored passionate devoted guardian".
With the planets, the general description seems to be expanding the Planet natural influence in a mostly positive way, including a few other keywords like gain by inheritance(Venus), diplomatic, high position through friends(Saturn), gain through harmonious marriage(Uranus), occult interests, good organizing ability(Neptune), metals (Mars and Sun).
Intrigued me the relation between Uranus and marriage and Neptune and organizing ability, when conjuncting this star.
I suppose we should interpret always linking with the idea of passionated faithful devotion.
I'm always doubtful if Ptolemy meant by Jupiter something more Sagittarius or Pisces, and by Mars something more Aries or Scorpio. Or perhaps both?
The honor, wealth, martial affairs seems Sagittarius/Aries, but Passion/Faithfulness could rather indicate Pisces/Scorpio.
Do you have experience with the star? Situations to relate? Books you've read? It would be great to hear (read) anything that makes more comprehensible a more insightful meaning of Sirius' influence.
ps: Kafka had Jupiter in exact conjunction, and by online charts his 5th house is in Sagittarius. When I was writting this I noted that the theme of intense passion and devotion(going to extremes) is a common trait of Kafka's characters.
