Description
Discover the astrological meaning of the ancient Egyptian decans, their correspondence to gods and the afterlife, and how each individual's decan placement defines their experiences.
Astrologers divide each of the 12 zodiac signs into three parts, called decans. The ancient Egyptians had an independent system of decans that is now all but forgotten. This form of astrology was not oriented toward the affairs of the living but was aimed at helping the soul achieve enlightenment after death. Each of the decans was associated with a powerful Egyptian god who would protect the soul as it traveled through their particular area of the heavens.
Temple of the Stars provides in-depth explanations for each decan, including its symbol, associated god, and well-known figures born under the same placement, and it explores how that decan defines the realities and spiritual problems of the modern individual. Through a combination of empirical and intuitive methods, this book arrives at penetrating new interpretations both of the decans and the astrological signs.
