Canopus was originally the Alpha star of the ancient constellation Argo, the ship on which Jason sailed to find the golden fleece.
As a supergiant, Canopus has ceased hydrogen fusion in its core, and is in the process of dying, its luminosity suggesting a birth mass 8 or 9 times solar.
Canopus is massive enough that fusion reactions may proceed farther to produce a much rarer neon-oxygen white dwarf.

Carina is the lucida star in the constellation of Argo, the Great Ship, and the second biggest star in the sky; after Sirius which it closely aligns with by longitude (Canopus is now 14Cancer57 and Sirius 14Cancer04, but they are separated by 36 degrees in ecliptic latitude).
Canopus has been noted several times in the nativities of writers and film actors and especially of those persons who, in our times, have had to undertake many journeys in connection with their position.
Canopus on the Ascendant is supposed to give a love of travel and also to instigate fights and quarrels resulting in lawsuits; the native however can channel these tendencies constructively, with astuteness and a sense of real earnestness.
