Ancient Egyptian astrology used a zodiac system with 12 signs, much like the one used today. However, instead of aligning with star constellations, their system linked specific days of the month to each sign, most of which were named after gods and goddesses.
Ancient Egyptians believed that the traits of the god or goddess connected to a sign shaped the personality of those born under it.
The Nile, representing fertility and renewal, reflects Sagittarius’ adventurous and free-spirited nature. People under this sign are wise, optimistic, and independent.
They love exploring new ideas and experiences but can sometimes be impulsive. Although kind and caring, they dislike restrictions and prefer to follow their own path.
Amun-Ra, the creator god, resembles Taurus in strength, patience, and resilience. Those born under this sign are hardworking, reliable, and natural leaders.
They value stability and security but can be stubborn when faced with change. While calm and composed, they have strong tempers when pushed too far.
Mut, the mother goddess, resembles Scorpio’s deep emotions, loyalty, and intensity. Those born under this sign are determined, goal-oriented, and protective of loved ones.
While they are patient and generous, they can also be secretive and moody. Over time, they grow in confidence, becoming strong and influential figures in their communities.
Geb, the god of the Earth, embodies Libra’s fairness, diplomacy, and desire for balance. People under this sign are kind-hearted, trustworthy, and value justice.
They are excellent mediators and seek harmony in relationships. However, they can be indecisive and struggle with making tough choices due to their desire to please everyone.
Osiris, the god of death and rebirth, shares Aries’ bold and ambitious nature. People under this sign are strong-willed leaders who thrive in competitive environments.
They are fearless in facing challenges and take on responsibility with confidence. While determined and passionate, they can also be impatient and aggressive when frustrated.
Isis, the goddess of motherhood, mirrors Pisces’ caring, artistic, and empathetic traits. People under this sign are highly intuitive and deeply emotional.
They are natural healers who support and uplift others. While they are creative and ambitious, they can also be sensitive and struggle with taking criticism too personally.
Thoth, the god of wisdom, reflects Virgo’s intelligence, discipline, and problem-solving skills. People under this sign are detail-oriented, logical, and hardworking.
They enjoy learning and strive for perfection in everything they do. While they are helpful and dependable, they can be overly critical and impatient with inefficiency.

Horus, the god of the sky, shares Capricorn’s ambitious and disciplined qualities. Those born under this sign are practical, hardworking, and focused on success.
They value structure and order but can be stubborn. While they are determined to achieve their goals, they sometimes struggle with flexibility and letting go of control.
Anubis, the guardian of the underworld, shares Leo’s passionate and authoritative qualities. People born under this sign are independent, creative, and confident.
Though introverted, they command respect and excel in leadership roles. They are highly determined and never shy away from challenges but can sometimes be controlling and competitive.

Seth, the god of chaos, mirrors Gemini’s energetic and unpredictable personality. People under this sign love adventure, socializing, and taking on new challenges. They are excellent communicators and enjoy being in the spotlight. While their curiosity drives them forward, they can be impulsive and struggle with making long-term commitments.
Bastet, the goddess of home and protection, aligns with Cancer’s nurturing and intuitive nature. Those born under this sign are affectionate, sensitive, and protective of loved ones.
They seek harmony and avoid conflict but can be possessive. Their strong intuition makes them excellent judges of character and deeply loyal friends.
Sekhmet is the goddess of war and healing. She reflects what the essence of the divine feminine is. She isn’t afraid of the dark because she knows that’s where her light shines brighter. She knows how to heal herself & use her inner strength to transform chaos into peace.
