The ancient Egyptian people had their astrological study that included an entirely different Zodiac system. Eleven out of twelve of them are Egyptian gods and the personality traits they possessed.
Unlike the Western astrology in which each sign occurs once in a year, the Egyptian signs have between two or also four timeframes each year.
The sign of the Nile.
Dates: January 1-7, June 19-28, September 1-7, November 18-26.
The Nile begins on the New Year, and it is the single sign from the Egyptian zodiac which is not a God. However, the river Nile is as significant as a deity, as it is the source of life for Egyptian people.
Just like the river, people that have this sign are nurturing, giving, calm and supportive. They are also observant, and well-communicative, but they like to be quiet most of the time; they prefer peace over conflicts.
Although they are balanced in nature, they are quite passionate about life, and that passion drives them to begin new things all the time.
The sign of Amon-Ra.
Dates: January 8-21, February 1-11.
In the Egyptian culture and mythology, Amon-Ra is definitely the most popular deity, a universal god that rules over creation, cosmos and time. He is shining light where there is darkness and also awakens people.
Those people that have this sign are natural-born leaders. They are also determined, humanitarian, as well as optimistic. They are excellent decision-makers for the community and themselves too. The main obstacle in their lives is their ego.
The sign of Mut.
Dates: January 22-31, September 8-22.
Mut is the fearless goddess and Divine Mother too. She is protective and hopeful of those that she loves.
People who are born under the Mut sign are great parents, inspiring mentors, as well as good and loyal friends. They can make great nurses and teachers. They also tend to go deep in their relationships, and that is why they may get hurt so easily. Such vulnerability may lead them to depression, which also represents the main obstacle of Mut.
The sign of Geb.
Dates: February 12-29, August 20-31.
Geb is the Earth’s god and serves as a connection between the existence, here on the planet Earth and the cosmos. As a result of this powerful link, those people that are born under this sign are probably more sensitive to astrological events. They can also be emotional and sensitive to energies. The main mission they have is to help in healing the Earth, as well as the environment.
Also, they are profoundly compassionate towards other people, and that is why it is significant for this sign not to let others take advantage of them.
The sign of Osiris.

The sign of Isis.
Dates: March 11-31, October 18-29, December 19-31.
