"But when Oarion and Seirios are come into mid-heaven, and rosy-fingered Eos (Dawn) sees Arktouros in September, then cut off all the grape-clusters." -

 Hesiod, Works and Days 

 People from the Blue Star Sirius

We are all star people.  We look up in the sky and we wish on stars.   We say our departed loved ones are the stars that we can see at night and we sing nursery rhymes about these twinkling little entities.  They are where we originated from.  It is our heritage. Our star heritage.

Those who have Sirius as their planetary origin are very focused, very determined and set on whatever path they are on at a given time. It is very difficult to change the mind of one from Sirius, but once they have become convinced that a new "path" is more appropriate, they become totally focused on the new, and release the old quickly. Sirians have strong beliefs, ideals and personal integrity.

The word Sirius was used interchangeably for both the constellation Canis Major, and the alpha star. Sirius is a Latinized version of Greek seirios, translated 'scorching', and signifying brightness and heat, from seiraino, 'dry up, parch'.

Sirius was associated with the hottest part of summer, the Dog Days, and also with causing the Nile floods because the heat causes ice and snow to melt on mountains which flows into rivers.

The rising of Sirius marked the commencement of the ancient Egyptian new (sidereal) year, the annus canarius and annus cynicus of the Roma.

The Canary Islands are named after Sirius / Canis Major .. Because of the amount of wild dogs he found there.
