The Egyptian Gods/Godesses
ISIS (FEB 25 - MAR 26) Picies (Feb 20 to Mar 20)
Isis is the goddess of Love, Peace, Harmony and discipline. Those born under this sign are straightforward, confident and idealistic. They do however get lost in thought often.
Isis' soul is devoted to the clearest of quests, and this glorious lover it the supreme messenger of life. Pride and meanness fail before this unequalded magician, just as decieving glimmers vanish when day breakes. The most illustrious of Egyptian goddesses, in her capacity for love and redemption, finds the strength to take under her wings and protects all those who are about to perish coldly for lack of faith in the wild generosity of the vital spirits. Isis, proud and alone, sustained by her brother and husband Osiris, is also the mother of life.
WADGET (OCT 28 - NOV 26) Scorpio ( Oct 24 to Nov 22)
Wadget is the goddess of the royal cobra. Those born under this sign are rational, cautious, conscientious, opinionated, and have a tendency towards pessimism and suspicion.
Wadjit, also called Buto, Uto, or Edjo, cobra goddess of ancient Egypt. Depicted as a cobra twined around a papyrus stem, she was the tutelary goddess of Lower Egypt. Wadjet and Nekhbet, the vulture-goddess of Upper Egypt, were the protective goddesses of the king and were sometimes represented together on the king’s diadem, symbolizing his reign over all of Egypt. The form of the rearing cobra on a crown is termed the uraeus. In mythology, Wadjet was nurse to the infant god Horus and helped Isis, his mother, protect him from his treacherous uncle, Seth, when she took refuge in the delta swamps. The similarity of this myth to the Greek story of Leto and Apollo on Delos probably resulted in the later identification of Wadjet with Leto. Buto is the Greek form of the ancient Egyptian Per Wadjit (Coptic Pouto, “House of Wadjit”), the name of the capital of the 6th Lower Egyptian nome (province), present-day Tall al-Farāʿīn, of which the goddess was the local deity.

She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. A sun goddess. She represents the scorching, burning, destructive heat of the sun. She was a fierce goddess of war, the destroyer of the enemies of Ra and Osiris. Her temper was uncontrollable. In the legend of Ra and Hathor, Sekhmet's anger became so great, she would have destroyed all of mankind if Ra had not taken pity on us. He tricked her by dyeing beer blood-red which she drank believing it to be human blood and became drunk. She soon forgot her anger and we were saved from destruction.

Amun (also Amon (/ˈɑːmən/), Amen; Ancient Greek: Ἄμμων Ámmōn, ἍμμωνHámmōn) was a local deity of Thebes. He was attested since the Old Kingdomtogether with his spouse Amaunet. With the 11th dynasty (c. 21st century BC), he rose to the position of patron deity of Thebes by replacing Monthu.[1] After the rebellion of Thebes against the Hyksos and with the rule of Ahmose I, Amun acquired national importance, expressed in his fusion with the Sun god,Ra, as Amun-Ra.
Amun-Ra retained chief importance in the Egyptian pantheon throughout theNew Kingdom (with the exception of the "Atenist heresy" under Akhenaten). Amun-Ra in this period (16th to 11th centuries BC) held the position oftranscendental, self-created[2] creator deity "par excellence", he was the champion of the poor or troubled and central to personal piety.[3] His position as King of Gods developed to the point of virtual monotheism where other gods became manifestations of him. With Osiris, Amun-Ra is the most widely recorded of the Egyptian gods.[3] As the chief deity of the Egyptian Empire, Amun-Ra also came to be worshipped outside of Egypt, in Ancient Libya andNubia, and as Zeus Ammon came to be identified with Zeus in Ancient Greece.

At the end of its life it built a funeral pyre and burned in the flames, only to regenerate its progeny from those very flames. The Scorpio nature cannot run from the destruction of the fire of its emotional intensity, but within that fire is the secret of immortality and resurrection. Scorpio is a water sign but Mars bestows the essence of fire as well and with it the courage to enter the fire and become transformed.

Anubis is the guardian of the underworld. Those born under this sign are self-confident and have a great ability for control and determination. They are very steady. Anubis is one of the most iconic gods of ancient Egypt. Anubis is the Greek version of his name, the ancient Egyptiansknew him as Anpu (or Inpu). Anubis was an extremely ancient deity whose name appears in the oldest mastabas of the Old Kingdom and the Pyramid Texts as a guardian and protector of the dead. He was originally a god of the underworld, but became associated specifically with the embalming process and funeral rites. His name is from the same root as the word for a royal child, "inpu". However, it is also closely related to the word "inp" which means "to decay", and one versions of his name (Inp or Anp) more closely resembles that word. As a result it is possible that his name changed slightly once he was adopted as the son of the King, Osiris. He was known as "Imy-ut" ("He Who is In the Place of Embalming"), "nub-tA-djser" ("lord of the scared land").
MAAT (AUG 29 - SEPT 27) Virgo ( Aug 23 to Sep 22)
LIbra the constellation was associated in Antiquity with the Egyptian Goddess of JUSTICE MAAT
This goddess personifies all the elements of divine or cosmic harmony and bal-ance; including Truth, Mathematics, Justice and Moral Integrity. According to Budge the name means 'straight' hence that which is unalterable and steadfast etc. Maat is associated with astrology and divinatory arts. Pharaohs saw Maat as their authority to govern and would stress how their reigns upheld the laws of the universe which she embodies. Many examples exist of the kings being called 'beloved of Maat.' In the Pyramid Texts ASR is called 'lord of Maat.'
She is the goddess or neter of justice. Her presence is required at the Weighing of the Heart; in the 'Hall of Two Truths' where the dead person's heart is placed on a pair of scales to balance against a feather; the image of the goddess Ma'at symbolising a blameless life. She is judge of the dead (the deities/gods of the ENEAD in their role as tribunal judges are described as the 'Council of Maat.'). The role of Ma'at was crucial to the deceased reaching Paradise. Only if the life lived is sufficiently blameless could they enter the realm of ASR.
THOTH (AUG 29 - SEPT 27) Virgo ( Aug 23 to Sep 22)
Law, Order, Truth, Thoth was usually depicted with the head of an ibis, deriving from his name, and the curve of the ibis' beak, which resembles the crescent moon. Thoth the Scribe, wrote the story of our reality then placed it into grids for us to experience and learn through the alchemy of time and consciousness.
Thoth The Scribe, became credited by the ancient Egyptians as the inventor of writing, and was also considered to have been the scribe of the underworld, and the moon became occasionally considered a separate entity, now that Thoth had less association with it, and more with wisdom. For this reason Thoth was universally worshipped by ancient Egyptian Scribes. Also, he became credited as the inventor of the 365-day (rather than 360-day) calendar, it being said that he had won the extra 5 days by gambling with the moon, then known as Iabet, in a game of dice, for 1/72nd of its light (5 = 360/72).
Thoth was the god who overcame the curse of Ra, allowing Nut to give birth to her five children, with his skill at games. It was he who helped Isis work the ritual to bring Osiris back from the dead, and who drove the magical poison of Set from her son, Horus with the power of his magic.
THOTH was Horus' supporter during the young god's deadly battle with his uncle Set, helping Horus with his wisdom and magic.
It was Thoth who brought Tefnut, who left Egypt for Nubia in a sulk after an argument with her father, back to heaven to be reunited with Ra.
