Egyptian Astrology

Egyptian Astrology (עֲסְטְרוֹלוֹגְיָה מִצְרִית, Astrologiya Mitzrit) is an ancient system of divination and celestial observation that originated in the Nile Valley civilization of Egypt. It is based on the belief that the positions and movements of celestial bodies, such as stars, planets, and the Sun, have a direct influence on human affairs and natural phenomena. Egyptian astrology is deeply intertwined with the religious and mythological framework of ancient Egypt, where the sky was considered a reflection of the divine order. The Egyptians divided the zodiac into 12 parts, each associated with a specific deity and a set of characteristics. This system was used for predicting the future, determining auspicious times for important events, and understanding individual personalities. The influence of Egyptian astrology spread to other cultures, including the Greeks and Romans, who adapted and expanded upon its principles. In Arabic, Egyptian astrology is referred to as النجوم المصرية (Al-Nujum Al-Masriyah), and in French, it is known as astrologie égyptienne.
