Hello, Im wondering what Sirius represents in the birth chart? I have Sirius 6° from my cancer asc, 12th house, does that mean anything?
Is there any free way/link to find out where all the important fixed stars are in you natal chart, except astro.com?

Thanks..

Hi Sirius,

Malvin Artley has an essay on Sirius.

Other than that, I don't have much info (although there is a lot here and there on the net), and I've been trying to understand Sirius myself. Somewhere I picked it up that Sirius was the "seat of the brotherhood", and while that immediately made me think of the Magic Flute and Sarastro (O Isis and Osiris) :cool:, which of course is no coincidence (Sarastro is the priest of the Sun, Artley mentions Sirius' connection to the Sun), I am not sure whether the "Rosicrucian" flavor that I associate with this phrasing is in line with what was originally meant by it. I once heard someone say that Sirius was the guiding star for the soul (you will find something comparable in Artley's essay). I've always seen Sirius in connection with Mercury, and as something like Mercury's aide-de-camp (or is Mercury Sirius' aide-de-camp...? ;) ) -- inspiring Mercury to come up with something of ethical, perhaps universal value, something serving the betterment of humanity. Einstein had it conjunct AC, which probably strengthened the association with genius that one tends to have with Sirius.

I'd be curious to hear what others' ideas are. :)

Sirius is way to far away from your Ascendant to have influence over it. I personally do not consider fixed stars unless they are exactly a 0 degree orb. Theres enough of them to bridge the gap.

Raincow:

You can learn about fixed stars and their influence reading the books by Reinhold Ebertin and Georg Hoffman, Fixed Stars and their interpretation, and Brady's Book of Fixed Stars, by Bernadette Brady.

Enjoy them!:)
