Horus Zodiac Sign

The Horus zodiac sign, also known as the Horus constellation, is an ancient Egyptian astrological symbol associated with the falcon-headed god Horus. In Egyptian mythology, Horus was a significant deity often depicted as a falcon or with a falcon's head, symbolizing kingship, sky, and protection. The Horus zodiac sign is not part of the modern Western zodiac but is recognized in some forms of ancient Egyptian astrology. The sign is sometimes linked to the constellation Horus or Horus the Elder, which was associated with the sky and celestial bodies. In Hebrew, Horus is translated as חורוס (Horus), and in Arabic, it is known as هرمس (Hermes), although the latter is more commonly associated with the Greek god Hermes. The Horus zodiac sign is often interpreted as representing protection, divine kingship, and the cyclical nature of time, reflecting the mythological role of Horus as a guardian and a symbol of renewal. While not widely used in contemporary astrology, the Horus zodiac sign remains a fascinating subject for those interested in ancient Egyptian culture and its astronomical traditions.
