Isis or Osiris: Who are you according to the Egyptian zodiac sign?

People have always looked up, been interested in space, and drawn parallels between the star map and events on Earth. Ancient Egyptians were perhaps among the first to recognize the signs of fate. It is not for nothing that their civilization made a great contribution to the development of astrology.

Information about the Egyptian zodiac can be gleaned from the Louvre in Paris, where a fragment of the ceiling of the temple of the goddess Hathor at Dendera is preserved, on which some of the first zodiac signs in the history of astrology are inscribed. The history of Egyptian zodiac signs dates back to B.C. It dates back to 50 BC and is the earliest known representation of the 12 classical signs of the zodiac. Let us add that the creators of the classical system were not the ancient Egyptians, it was created in Babylon, and the Egyptians learned it from the Greeks.

The positions of stars and planets at that time were not much different from what we know from modern astronomy. The Egyptians saw the same constellations but named them differently.

We have previously mentioned the zodiac signs of the Druids, Slavs, Scandinavians, Greeks, Aztecs, Tibetans, Gypsies, Jews, Turks and Africans.

What you need to know about the Egyptian zodiac sign?

Similar to Western astrology, there are 12 zodiac signs in the Egyptian zodiac. Each zodiac sign is associated with a god or goddess. Accordingly, the characters of people born under their auspices have both strengths and weaknesses. Each zodiac sign covers 3 decans, or 30 days. This means that people can be born in the same sign but in different decans; This explained the difference in character, as each dean had his own ruling planet.

It is interesting how the images of the zodiac signs reflect the images of ancient Egyptian gods. Amon Ra was represented as a ram-headed god and also protects those born under the sign of Aries; Osiris was depicted with the head of a bull – it is no coincidence that it corresponds to the sign of Taurus. Gemini can be noticed in the images of Elder Horus and Child Horus. Virgo was replaced by the goddess Isis, and Aquarius was replaced by the Egyptian water god Khnum.

Let’s also add that there were two schools of astrology in Egypt: One calculated the zodiac signs according to decans, the other was based on the Greeks’ knowledge of Babylonian astrology, so there may be cases where both systems intersect in determining the zodiac signs.
