Procyon at 25°47′ Cancer has orb of 2°40′
The Sun joins Procyon on July 18
Fixed star Procyon, Alpha Canis Minoris (α CMi), is a 1st magnitude spectroscopic binary star system in the constellation Canis Minor, and the eighth-brightest star in the night sky.
Magnitude 0.34, spectral type F5 IV-V, color white. The much fainter companion is a white dwarf with a magnitude of 10.7. [1]
α CMi is officially named Procyon.
From its ancient Greek name Προκύων, “the One Preceding the Dog,” referring to its rising shortly before the “Dog Star,” Sirius. Reapplied in Renaissance times. [2]
Its Babylonian name was Nangar, “the Carpenter,” an aspect of Marduk, involved in constructing and organizing the celestial sky.
Other names include Antecanis, the Latin translation of Procyon; and the Arabic names Al Shira, “the Northern Sirius,” and Elgomaisa, “the bleary-eyed (woman).” Sirius was “the teary-eyed (woman).” [1]
In Chinese astronomy, Procyon belongs to the asterism Nanhe, “South River,” in the 22nd lunar mansion Jing, “Well.” Its astronomical name is Nan He San, “South River III,” and it is also known as He Shu, “Guardian of the River.” [3]

Procyon Astrology
According to Ptolemy, Noonan and Morse, Procyon is of the nature of Mercury and Mars. But Anonymous of 379 AD and Ebertin said it is like Mars and Mercury. The Spectral type F5 indicates a Mercury nature.
SPECTRAL CLASS F: A thoughtful, serious, sincere, hardworking, adventurous, private, demanding and self-centered nature. It brings career and material success, the ability to lead and conquer, keenness of mind, determination, endurance, a rise followed by a fall, melancholy, self-destruction, and possibly violence. Harsh aspects can cause impatience, irritability, hostility, excessive drive, and an overly ambitious nature. [4]
MERCURY: If rising, honor, intellect, great learning. If culminating, business activity, gain through books and intellectual matters. [5]
In astrology, like its constellation, it portended wealth, fame, and good fortune. [6]
The Lesser Dog Star designates a petulant, saucy fellow, prone to anger, proud, careless, violent and giddy. [7]
PROCYON. α Canis Minoris.
Notes. A binary yellowish-white and yellow star situated on the body of the Lesser Dog. From Prokuon, before the Dog, in allusion to its rising before Sirius.
Influence. According to Ptolemy, it is of the nature of Mercury and Mars; to Simmonite, of Venus and Mars, which is probably a misprint; and, to Alvidas, of the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus. It gives activity, violence, sudden and violent malevolence, sudden preferment by exertion, elevation ending in disaster, danger of dog bites and hydrophobia and makes its natives petulant, saucy, giddy, weak-natured, timid, unfortunate, proud, easily angered, careless and violent. Two cases are on record of death or injury by dog bite in which Procyon and Sirius are involved.
Magical. Procyon is one of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars. Its image is a cock, or three little maids. It gives the favor of the gods, spirits and men, power against witchcraft, and preserves the health. Rules the stone Achates, flowers of marigold, pennyroyal. [5]
PROCYON. α Canis Minoris.
A binary star. The main star is yellowish-white, and the companion star is yellow. The spectral class is F5.
BASIC INFLUENCES: This star imparts to its natives wealth, good fortune and fame. There will be sudden preferment, sudden fame, sudden violence, a rise followed by a fall; this star gives its natives pride, makes them fortunate and unfortunate, careless, weak-natured. [4]
Ptolemy gave Procyon the nature of Mercury and, to a lesser degree, Mars. Spectrally, the star is Mercurial. Like its great neighbor, Sirius, it foretells wealth and renown, and in all classical astrology has been much regarded. [8]
Procyon, Alpha Canis Minoris.
Procyon, in the Neck of the Small Dog, the Dog in the Front, the Preceding Dog, has a Mars-Mercury nature, and therefore makes people hasty, jealous, pig-headed; but it also confers will-power and ability to put thoughts and plans into action. According to tradition, there is also a tendency to a hot temper and impudence. Rise and success are found with it, but a later fall from high position is indicated. Enterprises created in haste, therefore, do not last. People who “want to go through the wall with their head” only cause injury to themselves. Procyon gives drive and a good sharp mind. Linked with positive stellar bodies, success is made greater, but the native, in order to avoid a fiasco, has always to take care not to be imprudent. Especially dangerous is Procyon configured with Mars and Pluto. With the Sun, a valiant demeanor is indicated.
Dr. Eckener, the airship pioneer who had Procyon conjunct MC, appeared to be aware of that inherent danger. He never forgot “the pricks of conscience before a decision,” but he did experience the Zeppelin catastrophe at a time when Pluto was conjunct MC and Procyon.
Far more critical an outcome was the link with MC in John F. Kennedy. He had [Saturn and] MC = Mars/Puto. He was assassinated when a direction of Saturn was due with this particular point. [Plus, the total solar eclipse before the assassination, on July 20, 1963, was conjunct Procyon.]
South African Premier Verwoerd had the fixed star conjunct the Moon. He survived one attempt on his life, but the second attempt was fatal.
Elsbeth Ebertin had Procyon conjunct Moon. Several times, she was the target of extreme aggression, and she did succumb in the air raid on Freiburg in November 1944.
Less disadvantageous was the conjunction of Procyon with Moon [and DC] in the map of Field Marshall Hindenburg. Perhaps one can bring a connection here with the battles of annihilation he fought. [9]
Procyon: Greek: “Preceding Dog Star,” because it rises above the horizon before Sirius, α Canis Minor, Mars-Mercury-Nature, creates commanders and war heroes. Unfavorable, especially with afflicted Saturn and Neptune. Procyon in conjunction with Saturn, Saturn opposition Moon, brought Napoleon I military defeat, imprisonment and dethronement. Procyon, in conjunction with Neptune near the VI, with Neptune as the co-ruler in the first house, caused mental disturbance in Hor. 21, according to Uhle. [10]
Procyon is sometimes called the Northern Sirius. The name Procyon, however, is that of the navigator and steersman on the ship Argo, whose crew made the epic voyage in search of the Golden Fleece – the quest for the true knowledge, the ‘gold’ of the alchemist, the knowledge of our origins, of what happened to make us as we now are, that knowledge which we have always felt deep down will heal us and take us forward to heights of attainment beyond anything we can now imagine.
Procyon never steered his companions to that goal in life, for Man was not then ready to find it, but in the heavens, those realms of the psyche where mortal time is no barrier to achievement, he is still getting us there. Here in mortal life among us in their turns, take us further along the road while they are with us, then join Proicyon beyond mortal life to inspire us still.
Not all of them live and die dramatically like Jesus or Giordano Bruno figures. Many are known only to friends and in their local communities, though the potential for wider recognition is always there if Procyon is strong and well respected in their horoscopes.
If the aspects with the strength are less easy, then they may face something of the opposition that was turned on Jesus and Bruno, especially jealousy and envy from others this star being close to the twins’ Castor and Pollux, but in general, this star does show one who uses its Mercury-Mars nature to dig deeply for knowledge and give freely of what is found. [11]
Fixed star Procyon rules below the left eye. [12]
Asterism Nanhe, the South River
21♋40 to 25♋47
The three stars of Nan He (the Southern River) and Bei He (the Northern River) flank Jing (the Eastern Well); it is also called the Celestial Gate and oversees bridges and passes. The Southern River is also called the Southern Garrison, the Southern Palace, the Yang Gate, the Yue Gate, and the Power Star. It governs fire-related matters. Between the two River Garrisons lies the constant path of the Sun, Moon, and five planets.
If the stars in Nan He appear unstable or shift, military conflict arises within China. If the river stars are incomplete or missing, then roads and passages become blocked, and floodwaters overflow.
If the Moon enters or exits between Nan He and Bei He along the central path, people will be at peace, the year will be prosperous, and there will be no warfare; if it moves south of this central path, the ruler will dislike it, and high-ranking ministers will not remain loyal.
If these stars appear bright and clear, it is a sign of good fortune; if they are dim or unstable in position, then border military conflicts arise, distant people rebel, and the ruler feels worried.
If the Moon transgresses Nan He, it signifies worry for the central kingdom; some sources say this indicates warfare, mourning events, droughts, or epidemics. If the Moon moves southwest, there will be military conflicts and droughts; if it enters Nan He, an epidemic among the people follows.
If a halo appears around the moon, earthworks projects are initiated. If the Moon with a halo passes over Nan He, warfare erupts in all directions. If it travels south of Nan Shu, then punishments and legal decrees become unjust or misapplied.
If Jupiter transgresses Nan He (South River), the northern regions face worry.
If Mars transgresses Nan He or Bei He, military conflict follows. If it lingers for more than thirty days in this region, rivers overflow; if it stays over Nan He (South River), crops fail to mature, and the queen consort will worry; if it guards the west of Nan He, fruit will not be harvested; if it is in the east, there will be attacks and wars.
If Saturn passes over Nan He (South River), drought follows, and the people worry; if it lingers there, warfare arises, and roads become impassable.
If Venus remains in this region for thirty days, rivers overflow; some sources say it indicates the presence of treacherous plots. If Venus guards both Nan He and Bei He (the two rivers), military conflict arises.
If a guest star resides in or lingers near this region, droughts and epidemics follow.
If a comet or brilliant meteor appears in this area, warfare follows; if it remains there for an extended time, drought occurs.
If meteors appear in this region, they signify war and mourning events, with worries arising at border garrisons or frontier posts. If a meteor passes between the two rivers, there will be calamity throughout the land.
If pale blue or white clouds intrude into this region, river passages become impassable; if they emerge and appear red, the emperor’s forces will march against feudal lords. If yellow-colored clouds enter, virtuous decrees or edicts are issued; if they emerge from it, disaster follows. [13]
Constellation Canis Minor, the Lesser Dog
16♋37 to 05♌13
CANIS MINOR. The Lesser Dog.
Legend. Canis Minor represents Mæra, the hound of Icarius, who drowned himself on account of his grief at the death of his master (see BOÖTES). According to another account it was Helen’s dog who was lost in the Euripus.
Influence. Ptolemy gives no information as to the influence of the constellation itself, but merely describes that of its chief star, Procyon. By other authors, however, it is said to cause frivolity and either love of dogs or danger of dog-bites. It is noteworthy that the ideas of water and drowning seem to be universally associated with this constellation. In addition to the Greek ideas embodied in the legends its Euphratean name was the Water Dog, and its Chinese equivalent Nan Ho, the Southern River, certain of the stars being called Shwuy Wei, a Place of Water. Together with Canis Major this constellation is associated by the Kabalists with the Hebrew letter Tzaddi and the 18th Tarot Trump “The Moon”. [5]
The small constellation of Canis Minor (CMi) is identified chiefly with its major star, Procyon. Both the constellation and its major star portend wealth, fame, and good fortune. [8]
Fixed Star Procyon Conjunctions
Ascendant conjunct Procyon:
But when the Crab hath doubled Tèn Degrees,
And rear’d seven more, bright Procyon leaves the Seas:
His Influence mean; But tho’ his feeble Flame
No Hunters breeds, yet it supports the Game:
Inclines to Weave strong Nets, to Train the Hound,
To know the Breed, and to improve the Sound.
To shave the Spear, and follow every Trade,
That Love of Sport, and Hope of Gain persuade. [14]
Procyon rises at the moment when Cancer’s twenty-seventh degree ascends from the waves to the stars. He bestows upon those born under him not hunting, but its weapons. To rear keen scented whelps and to tell their class by their pedigree, their qualities by their place of origin; to produce nets and hunting-spears tipped with strong points, and pliant shafts with knots smoothed out and to manufacture and sell at a profit whatever the art of hunting is likely to require: these are the gifts Procyon will bestow. [15]
In the twentieth part of Cancer (seventh), Procyon rises. Those who are born in this direction will indeed be separated from all pursuit of hunting, but they will either make or prepare weapons for hunters, that is, nets, arrows, and whatever pertains to the equipment of that pursuit. They will also raise dogs that will pursue the dens and hidden lairs of wild animals with their noses of foreboding. [16]
A splendid and illustrious life; glorious, mighty and commanding nature; fame, busy with many activities, bountiful resources, well known or feared in cities and regions. Prosperity from youth and in own city. [17]

But if this star is in the setting, and Mars looks at this place with a square or opposition, deprived of the favorable testimony of Jupiter, they will perish in a mad rage, torn by the bite of a rabid dog, so that, avoiding the sight of water and dreading every sip of a cup, they will always shudder to desire water with their parched throats, or at least they are torn apart by the bites of the wild beasts while preparing traps for them.
