The name "7 Sister Stars" is a direct reference to the Pleiades star cluster, an prominent group of stars known in cultures worldwide, which is almost universally associated with stories of seven sisters, women, or girls. The name evokes a sense of global mythology and a shared human connection to the cosmos. While the specific business has not publicly shared its personal origin story for choosing the name, the general story behind the "Seven Sisters" name in astronomy and mythology is rich and enduring: The Pleiades are an open star cluster in the constellation Taurus. Most people can see six of the brightest stars with the naked eye, though some with keen eyesight can spot more under dark skies. The fact that most people see six stars, despite the name "Seven Sisters," is a central part of the global my Astronomers believe that around 100,000 years ago, a seventh star (Pleione) was farther from its neighbor (Atlas) and more easily visible to the naked eye. Stellar movement over millennia has changed their apparent proximity. The story of the "Seven Sisters" is considered one of the oldest in the world, with similar themes appearing across cultures that were separated by vast distances for thousands of years. In Greek lore, the Pleiades were the seven daughters of the Titan Atlas and the sea-nymph Pleione. To protect them from the relentless pursuit of the hunter Orion, Zeus transformed them into stars. The seventh sister is often said to be faint or "lost" because she married a mortal man, Sisyphus, and hid her face in shame. Aboriginal Australian Culture: Across Australia, various Indigenous groups share a major Dreaming story (song line) about seven sisters fleeing from a man (often associated with the Orion constellation) across the land and into the sky. Native American Culture: In the legend of the Kiowa tribe, seven girls were chased by bears, and climbed a rock that grew higher and higher until they were pushed into the sky to become stars (this formation is now known as Devils Tower in Wyoming). The choice of "7 Sister Stars" likely intends to evoke these themes of unity, resilience, guidance, and a connection to ancient wisdom, making it a resonant and timeless name for a business, particularly one focused on fitness and well-being.
