Star Sirius and Egypt
If you happen to be outside on a clear night, look up. You’ll see what seems to be millions of stars in the night sky. However, on any given night we can actually only see about 2,500 to 3,000 of the 5,000 visible stars that can be viewed by the naked eye. These stars have helped form the mythologies and religions of mankind since the beginning of our existence and their mysteries are still boundless, regardless of the progress of science.
Of Planets and Gods
Planets were identified as gods who wandered across a nighttime tapestry of light, raising questions, giving answers and stunning us with the beauty of the dark world. The background of fixed stars provided the context behind a complicated cosmology, influencing those planets, which in turn influenced us. Astrology became a friend of mankind and a reflection of the power of the sky on our Earth. Each star had its effect and specific energy, but one stood out more than the others because it was the brightest of all, Sirius.
Sirius, The Luminous
Sirius is the brightest star in the sky and is conspicuously more luminous than any of the other stars around it. Sirius is bluish white, but cycles through various colors as it twinkles. Catching an unexpected glimpse of it on a cold night can be breathtaking.
Astronomically speaking, Sirius is known as Alpha Canis Majoris. In the world of astronomy, the lower the apparent magnitude of a celestial body, the brighter the object. Sirius has an apparent magnitude of -1.46. By comparison, the second brightest star in the sky is Canopus, appearing in the constellation Centaurus. Canopus’ apparent magnitude is -.72, roughly half as bright as Sirius. Sirius is 40 times brighter than our sun and is only 8.6 light years away, making it a close neighbor.
Following The Orion Constellation; Meaning Between the Two?
Sirius is part of the constellation known as Canis Major, or the Big Dog. Interestingly enough, the constellation and star have been associated with dogs and wolves in many cultures all over the world. There are numerous reasons why this could be, but the most obvious is that Sirius seems to be following a great giant in the sky, Orion.
The unmistakable image of a man walking across the heavens is universal and since dogs have been with us for tens of thousands of years, it makes sense that this bright gem would follow behind, as canines have followed mankind since our two species learned to rely upon one another.
This association has definitely influenced how the star was viewed, as well as in the energy that was perceived to be emitted from it. Sirius wasn’t always a dog, though. The ancient Egyptians often associated Sirius with the goddess Isis, especially in its capacity as a signal that the Nile flood was on the way. The star could also be connected to Osiris, as well as Anubis and the goddess of Sirius, Sopdet, whose name means “she who is sharp.” She brought fertility to the soil and was the consort of the entity known as Sah, the constellation Orion.
In Western cultures, Canis Major is the dog of Orion, meaning The Hunter. Orion’s section of the sky is a spectacular one and dramatically splashes across the heavens. A play unfolds as a hunter and his dogs chase rabbits and are attacked by a ferocious bull, as implied by the imagery of the constellations involved. Orion is near Taurus, while below him is a rabbit (Lepus), being chased by the Big Dog and a smaller dog.
Many cultures have had a specific take on this beautiful star. In Norse mythology, it was the dog of Sigurd. For some, Sirius was seen as the dog of Tobias, from the Apocrypha. The Greeks may have attributed Sirius to Cerberus.
Sirius and Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egyptian temples were aligned to the star. Although it might be tempting to think that the only reason for its great popularity was that it was the brightest star in the sky, there’s much more to Sirius. Thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, a culture that watched the sky carefully, the heliacal rising of Sirius coincided with the summer solstice. A heliacal rising occurs when a star, after having having been hidden by daylight for a period of time, can once again be seen shortly before sunrise.
This moment defined the ancient Egyptian new year, preparing them for the coming flood and the life-giving fertility that would arrive with it.
Sirius had disappeared into the daylight hours approximately 70 days earlier. Interestingly enough, the standard period of preparation and mourning for ancient Egyptians was also 70 days. It’s easy to see how Sirius could be associated with Osiris in this case.
Some metaphysical scholars believe that the heliacal rising of Sirius and the ancient Egyptian New Year is instrumental in the planetary affiliations of the numbered cards in Tarot. It’s beyond the scope of this article to address this issue, but I believe that this is incorrect and there’s a much more sensical explanation as to why the system begins as it does.
The flooding of the Nile was mythically considered to have been caused by the tears of Isis, mourning her slain husband, Osiris. Sirius was therefore connected to her pain and sacrifice, but also her immense determination and faith. In that way, Sirius would have held hope for the future, compassion for others, even our enemies, and a never-ending source of navigation in life. In the beautiful temple of Denderah, there is a depiction of the zodiac, more or less derived from a Greek model. In this carving, Sirius appears as a cow within a boat, a probable allusion to Hathor, the consort of Horus. Once again, the idea of a feminine energy is connected to the star.
The Dog Star
Sirius is acknowledged by our culture every year. The so-called, “dog days of summer,” were once directly blamed upon the dog star. The name Sirius means searing, glowing or scorching. The reason for this connection was due to the appearance of Sirius in conjunction with that time leading to the hottest part of the year and the increase of heat as weeks progressed. It was said that the brightness of the star, added to the heat of the sun, increased temperatures significantly, bringing us the most oppressive, hottest time of the year, something we still allude to today.
Although Sirius has been viewed as a positive omen and energy in the sky, it has just as often been feared and maligned. It is been called a red star, even though it is not red now and probably has always been blue-white. This has led some to speculate that at one time it actually was red in color, but it seems more logical that this was a reference to the kind of energy that some believed came from it, beyond the heat and scorching effect, by likening it to other stars that were reputed to be dangerously negative in energy and actually were red in color. Antares in Scorpio was thought to have a powerful, martial energy and was linked to Mars.
Antares actually means, “not Mars,” due to its place on the ecliptic and the possibility of it being mistaken for the red planet. Betelgeuse, in Orion, also had a reputation as having the ability to bring bad luck. The red giant in Taurus that forms the eye of the bull, Aldebaran, is a beautiful sight on a winter’s night, although once upon a time it was thought that staring at it too much could bring obsession, confusion and danger. If you’ve ever wondered why the center of a dartboard is called the bull’s-eye, now you know. Spending some time with these stars, gazing at them and allowing yourself to feel their influence will tell you more than you can imagine.
It’s usual to feel fidelity, persistence, compassion, loyalty and complete devotion to one’s cause from Sirius. This is certainly fitting for The Dog Star.
Sirius as a Symbol
In Sirius’ capacity as a surrogate for Anubis, it represents unfailing protection and safe passage from one realm to the next. As a representation of Isis, Sirius represents a constancy of devotion to the task at hand and an unwillingness to give up, no matter what the cost. As a messenger of the Nile flood, it represents the coming of a difficult time, one that demands great work, but also a welcome omen of fertility and the continuity of benevolent, life-giving forces.
More than one secret society has used Sirius as the symbol of their directive; to guide, protect and lead those who seek light. As this symbol, it burns brightly with complete transparency of intent for a mission that can’t be neglected. As the brightest star in the sky, it represents the highest aspiration to truth and service to others, in short, the best we can be.
Sirius B: The Binary Partner
In 1862 it was discovered that Sirius has a binary partner. This blue, dwarf star has been called Sirius B, nicknamed The Pup. One of the great mysteries of the Sirius Star System has to do with the Dogon People of Africa.
It was reported in the 20th Century that they knew of the existence of Sirius B, although they would’ve had no way of knowing about it, since they possessed no distant viewing technology.
Although it certainly is possible that they somehow knew, perhaps through astral projection or some other method, it’s also highly possible that they were informed of the binary star by European astronomers who visited Mali in the late 1800’s. The mystery goes on and has spurred controversy that still rages today. Some look to the star as a long-lost home, a place to which they hope to return, either in this form or another.
Divine Reflection
Some make the claim that the stars are directly connected to the consciousness of God, and that contemplating them can enlighten and teach in a direct manner. I happen to believe that all natural phenomena can serve such a function. After all, everything is ultimately a reflection of the essence of the divine.
Being the brightest star in the sky, it only makes sense that Sirius would have been the focus of speculation and belief for millennia. It’s convenient to vilify, easy to adore, obvious to worship, fun to wonder about, exciting to view it as the home we left and ultimately return to, and almost anything else that we can connect it to.
The one thing that we must never do, is waste the opportunity to look up and see it as one of the most stunning, natural sights available to any of us, anywhere on this beautiful planet.
Although Sirius is visible for much of the year, my favorite time to view it and the spectacular constellations that surround it is from January to March. There’s nothing like going out on an icy, winter’s night and seeing the magnificent play, the celestial drama that takes place in the sky every night unfold, as it has for millennia. Whether viewed as Osiris, Orion, Isis, a wolf, or proof of interstellar travel, Sirius fills humanity with wonder. As long as Sirius twinkles and shines and we have the ability to admire its beauty, we are worthy of being linked to it as a part of nature, one that connects us forever to the stars.
Until next time, I wish you all peace and love.

Who Are the Arcturians?
The Arcturians are a highly advanced race that comes from the Arcturus star system, one of the oldest and most evolved systems in our galaxy. Their civilization has reached levels of consciousness and technology far beyond human standards. These extraterrestrial beings are renowned for their deep wisdom and spiritual abilities, which they use to guide and assist other civilizations in their evolution.
The Arcturians often present themselves as beings of light, with an ethereal and luminous appearance. They are masters in the manipulation of energy and vibrational frequencies, enabling them to heal and transform matter and consciousness. Their primary mission is to help raise the vibration of the universe and support the ascension process of other star races and planetary systems.
Gaia’s original series, Deep Space, explores the influence of the Arcturians on the evolution of humanity. According to contactees, these spiritually evolved beings are highly intelligent, efficient, and compassionate, intentionally cultivating their species as logical yet loving beings to help lower vibrational species ascend.
History and Origins of the Arcturians
The history of the Arcturians goes back millions of years to a time when their civilization achieved spiritual enlightenment and mastery of energy technology. Arcturians originated from the Arcturus star system, about 36 to 37 light-years from Earth in the constellation Boötes, and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. It is believed that these beings have existed long before the formation of Earth, dedicating their existence to exploring and assisting other life forms in the cosmos.
Throughout their evolution, the Arcturians have developed a deep understanding of energy and spirituality. They use this wisdom to help other civilizations reach their fullest potential, teaching them to live in harmony with universal laws. Their culture is centered on peace, wisdom, and selfless service, making them ideal guides for developing races.
The influence of the Arcturians on Earth began thousands of years ago, when they made contact with early hominids. Through their guidance, early humans began to develop spiritual abilities and understand the complex energies of the universe. Arcturians’ long-standing evolution on the spiritual plane has shaped their role as guides for developing civilizations, offering insight that comes from beyond material experience. The collaboration between humans and Arcturians has been fundamental to the evolution of human consciousness, leaving an indelible mark on our spiritual and technological development.
It is important to note that while most new age spiritual traditions describe Arcturians as benevolent higher-dimensional guides, the term also appears in science fiction, where “Arcturians” are often imagined as entirely fictional alien species with varying forms and roles across different story universes.
Characteristics of the Arcturians
What Arcturians look like varies across traditions. Some traditions portray them as luminous, non-physical beings composed of light or energy, while others offer more symbolic or humanoid imagery. These variations are often understood as reflections of the observer’s consciousness rather than literal physical traits.Â
These characteristics have made them guides and protectors of various civilizations in the universe, including Earth. Common Arcturian characteristics include:
- Physical appearance: Arcturians are tall and slender beings with bluish or greenish skin. Their large, almond-shaped eyes reflect their ability to see beyond the physical.
- Ancient wisdom: They have profound knowledge of universal laws and the structure of the cosmos. This wisdom allows them to guide other civilizations in their spiritual and technological evolution.
- Connection with higher dimensions: Arcturians can access higher dimensions of existence. This connection provides them with a broad, multidimensional perspective of the universe and life.
- Galactic protection: They act as guardians and protectors in the cosmos, ensuring that developing civilizations follow a path of peace and harmony. They intervene when necessary to maintain balance and prevent destructive conflicts.
- Purpose-driven culture: Their society centers on peace, harmony, and service to the evolution of other beings.
These defining traits provide the foundation for the advanced abilities the Arcturians are known for.
Abilities of the Arcturians
Arcturians are described across spiritual traditions as possessing highly advanced abilities that reflect their mastery of energy, consciousness, and multidimensional awareness. These abilities are not considered supernatural, but rather expressions of their evolved state of being.
- Telepathy: They possess highly developed telepathic abilities, allowing them to communicate with each other and other species without words. This facilitates deep understanding and direct connection with others’ intentions and thoughts.
- Energy healing: Arcturians have advanced skills in energy healing. They use cosmic energy and vibrational frequency to heal diseases and balance the body and spirit’s energies.
- Manipulation of energy: Arcturians can transform, stabilize, or elevate energetic patterns—from subtle personal fields to planetary grids—using focused intention and advanced vibrational knowledge.
- Spiritual guidance: Their mastery of universal laws enables them to guide other civilizations with clarity, helping developing races align with higher states of consciousness, peace, and purpose.
- Advanced technology: Arcturian technology is highly advanced, surpassing the limitations of current human technology. It includes spaceships capable of traveling through dimensions and devices that manipulate energy with precision. Some people interpret certain UFO sightings as brief expressions of these interdimensional light ships, which are believed to appear only momentarily within physical reality.
Arcturian Codes: What Are They and How Are They Used?
Arcturian Codes are geometric symbols and numerical sequences transmitted by the Arcturians, designed to facilitate healing and spiritual evolution. These codes contain specific vibrational patterns that interact with human DNA and the body’s subtle energies, promoting alignment with higher frequencies and activating latent spiritual abilities.
These codes are used in various spiritual and therapeutic practices. Integrated into meditations, visualizations, and energy healing sessions, Arcturian Codes help release energy blockages, heal traumas, and elevate personal vibration. Practitioners worldwide use these codes to enhance their spiritual growth and connection with higher dimensions.
The application of Arcturian Codes varies depending on individual needs. They can be used to activate the pineal gland, improve connection with the higher self, and access the Akashic Records. Regular use can lead to greater spiritual clarity, an expanded level of consciousness, and a deep sense of peace and alignment with the divine purpose.
The Influence of the Arcturians on Human Development
The Arcturians have had a significant influence on humanity’s spiritual and technological evolution since the earliest days of human existence. This extraterrestrial species has provided crucial knowledge about energy and healing, enabling early humans to develop spiritual abilities and a deeper connection with the universe. Their guidance has been fundamental to humanity’s well-being and ongoing evolution, helping to lay a solid foundation for spiritual growth and energetic balance.
Throughout history, the Arcturians have collaborated with other star races to ensure that Earth follows a path of peace and positive development. Their intervention has been critical during times of crisis, helping humanity overcome challenges and maintain balance during periods of change and transition. This interstellar cooperation ensures that the Arcturian influence remains a stabilizing and evolutionary force for humanity.
Are There Arcturians Incarnated on Earth?
Yes, there are Arcturian beings currently incarnated on Earth. These are souls that have chosen to experience human life in order to fulfill specific missions related to healing, expanding consciousness, and spiritual guidance. These incarnations usually do not consciously remember their origin or homeworld, but they often feel a deep sense of purpose and a natural connection to spiritual matters from an early age.
These Arcturian souls are distinguished by their energetic sensitivity, their innate compassion, and their strong drive to serve others. Their presence acts as an anchor for high frequencies, contributing to the collective awakening of humanity. They often take on roles such as energy healers, spiritual guides, channels, or teachers, using their inner wisdom to support others in their personal processes of transformation.
How to Know If Your Soul Has an Arcturian Origin
Some people feel from an early age that they don’t quite fit into the world and experience a deep nostalgia for a place they cannot identify. If you feel a strong attraction to star-related topics, subtle energies, and spiritual development, it’s possible that your soul has an Arcturian origin. This connection often manifests as an inner calling toward service, healing, or spiritual teaching.
Many people who feel drawn to Arcturus or resonate deeply with the idea of higher-dimensional guidance may identify as Arcturian starseeds—souls believed to have originated in the Arcturus system before incarnating on Earth.
It is also common for those with Arcturian lineage to display intuitive abilities, acute empathy, and a natural capacity to perceive energy fields. You may feel a constant need to raise your personal and collective vibration, as well as a deep desire to live in alignment with universal ethical principles. This inclination does not come from external influences but from an inner wisdom that gradually activates over time.
Below are the most commonly cited signs associated with an Arcturian Starseed or soul origin:
- A familiar connection to Arcturus or star wisdom, often felt as recognition rather than new information.
- A natural sensitivity to energy and vibration, with a strong draw toward healing, light work, or consciousness practices.
- An intuitive sense of purpose, especially roles involving guidance, clarity, or supporting others through personal transformation.
- A calm, observant nature, preferring peaceful environments and gravitating toward inner work and introspection.
- A feeling of being different or “not from here,” combined with a deep inner knowing that your perspective or gifts come from beyond ordinary experience.
