Okay, so earlier today I was totally scrolling through some old history stuff online, right? Randomly bumped into this thing about Egyptian astrology signs. I was like, wait what? Egyptians had zodiac stuff too? I only knew the regular sun sign junk. Curiosity totally got me hooked. Figured I’d dive in and find out what this ancient sign thing was all about.
Figuring Out Where to Start
First, I needed info. Started simple – typed “Egyptian astrology signs” into a search. Saw like ten thousand pages pop up. Decided to peek at a few that looked legit. Scrolled past the ones with too many sparkly stars and ads. Wanted plain facts, so picked a site just listing dates and signs with short meanings. Copied all the sign names and date ranges into a sticky note on my desktop.
Narrowing Down My Own Sign
Next step: find my sign. Grabbed my birth date off my profile. Started matching it against those ancient Egyptian dates. Honestly got confused at first cause their calendar was different. Most sites split the year into these chunks:
- Nile (Jan 1-7, Jun 19-28, Sep 1-7, Nov 18-26)
- Amon-Ra (Jan 8-21, Feb 1-11)
- Mut (Jan 22-31, Sep 8-22)
- Geb (Feb 12-29, Aug 20-31)
- Osiris (Mar 1-10, Nov 27-Dec 18)
- Isis (Mar 11-31, Oct 18-29, Dec 19-31)
- Thoth (Apr 1-19, Nov 8-17)
- Horus (Apr 20-May 8, Aug 12-19)
- Anubis (May 9-27, Jun 29-Jul 13)
- Seth (May 28-Jun 18, Sep 28-Oct 2)
- Bastet (Jul 14-28, Sep 23-27, Oct 3-17)
- Sekhmet (Jul 29-Aug 11, Oct 30-Nov 7)
Cross-referenced my birthday – turns out I’m under Thoth. Weird cause my sun sign’s totally different.
Reading Into the Meaning
Now the fun part – figuring out what Thoth even meant. Googled specific traits. Thoth is that ibis-headed wisdom god, right? Sources kept saying people born under Thoth are supposed to be big thinkers, love learning, kinda natural teachers. Also saw stuff about them being calm and good at solving problems. I actually laughed out loud – my buddy always says I overthink EVERYTHING. So yeah, maybe on point?
Comparing Notes With Friends
Got nosy and asked two friends for their birthdays to check theirs. One fell under Sekhmet – warrior energy, fierce protector. Fits her personality scary well. The other got Horus, leadership type. Dude runs three online groups. Ancient descriptions weren’t perfect but weirdly hit close.
My Takeaway After All This
Honestly? Not sure I 100% “believe” this stuff. But it was cool connecting with how Egyptians saw the stars way back. Felt like digging up lost treasure. Plus seeing parallels with people I know was wild. Mainly learned that humans always try finding patterns everywhere – whether today or 4,000 years ago. Kinda comforting, in a way.
Would I use Egyptian signs daily? Nah. But knowing I’m linked to some ancient scribe god? Pretty neat party fact at least.
