What is Egyptian astrology?
Egyptian astrology is an ancient form of astrology which, as its name suggests, has its origins in ancient Egypt. It differs from modern Western astrology, which is based on the twelve signs of the zodiac, in several key respects. Here are some of the main characteristics of Egyptian astrology:
- Based on Egyptian gods: Unlike Western astrology, which uses constellations and planets, Egyptian astrology centers on a pantheon of Egyptian gods and goddesses. Each astrological sign is associated with a specific deity, and the characteristics of that deity are believed to influence the personality traits and destiny of individuals born under that sign.
- Different signs and dating systems: Egyptian astrology comprises twelve signs, but these differ from the signs of the Western zodiac. The signs are often represented by Egyptian symbols and cover time periods different from those of Western signs.
- Influence of the Lunar and solar cycles: Egyptian astrology attaches great importance to the cycles of the sun and moon, reflecting the Egyptians' deep veneration for these celestial bodies. The lunar phases and the annual cycle of the sun were key aspects of their astrological system.
- Use in daily life and spirituality: In ancient Egypt, astrology was often used to predict important events, make decisions and understand natural phenomena. It was closely linked to Egyptian religion and spirituality.
- Predictions and guidance: As with other forms of astrology, the Egyptians used astrology to predict the future and provide guidance in various aspects of life, including health, relationships and fortune.
Egyptian astrology dates - What is your sign?
The God or Goddess which represents your sign holds vital secrets regarding your character, your skills, your strengths, as well as your weaknesses. Unknown to many, the Egyptian horoscope accurately reveals the character and life missions of each person. This esoteric practice is ancestral and is based on the study of the day of birth of the person. Now, compared to the western astrological signs, Egyptian astrology is primarily concerned with the motivations of each person and their natural personality.
