There are twelve Egyptian astrological signs, each based on a deity.
Introduction
Just as in the Greek zodiac, where each sign corresponds to a character or creature—and thus to a myth—the Egyptian astrological signs correspond to deities. The reason is that the Egyptians, being great devotees of magic and the occult, frequently consulted the gods when making decisions. It was therefore only natural to associate their deities with their birth dates.
Description
However, the major difference from the signs of other civilizations is that each sign does not correspond to a single month of the year, but to several periods, depending on the seasons. There were three such periods: Shemon (spring, from April 26 to August 23, the harvest season), Schâ (fall, from August 29 to December 26, the flood season), and Pré (winter, from December 27 to August 25, the sowing season). This left five days of the year that were not associated with any deity.
