DUNE IN THE NATAL CMART

In a natal chart Dubhe indicates that your greatest strength lies in the position you hold, rather than the actions you take. Quiet strength.

DUSHE AS THE MEUACAL RLSINO STAR AT MM

Because of its high declination, this star was not used in this manner. However, for births in the equatorial regions, Dubhe may claim this title and would then indicate that your sense of identity is married to this concept of quiet strength.

Ursa Minor, the Little Bear

MENTIONED BY ARATUS AS ONE OF THE Bears, it was thought of as the Lesser Bear because, although it is made up of seven main stars, it is considerably dimmer in appearance and also occupies a smaller place in the heavens (see Star Map 9, p. 134). The constellation has also been known as a dog, with the Egyptians calling it the jackal of Set.223 In this sense it has been called the Dog's Tail. The Little Bear draws on the same symbolism as the Great Bear, for they both share the sacred pole. The Little Bear was also important as a navigational aid to sixth-century B.C.E. sailors because, along with the stars of Draco, it occupied the important pole position at different times in history. The Greeks incorporated the Little Bear into their mythology as either another wood nymph, apart from Callista or her child, or as Callista herself.

In ancient times the Little Bear was surrounded on three sides by the constellation Draco, the Dragon, and when the brightest star of the Dragon, Thuban, was the pole star in 3,000 B.C.E., the Little Bear was considered to be the wings of the Dragon. The current pole star is Polaris.
