Product Description
Product Description
SHAMANIC EGYPTIAN ASTROLOGY integrates the Egyptian pantheon, the ancient language of astrology and shamanic practices to promote a new way to interpret and work with natal charts. Revealing the cross-cultural mythology and astrological significance of the individual Egyptian gods and goddesses, the authors link each of the 12 zodiac signs and 11 celestial bodies of Western astrology with its Egyptian ancestor, introducing new significance to their positions and interactions in a horoscope. For example, Leo is linked with Anubis and Taurus with Hathor. Venus is associated with the goddess Isis and Jupiter with Horus.Each chapter includes sacred invocations and shamanic rituals to invite the wisdom of each Egyptian deity into your lifesuch as calling on Sekhmet for action or Thoth for clarity. With sample interpretations of the charts of Barack Obama and Gloria Steinem, this book provides a practical framework for accessing the wisdom of ancient Egypt and offers astrological and shamanic tools for spiritual guidance and the coming shift in planetary consciousness. Links each of the planets and signs in Western astrology with its Egyptian counterpart, such as Leo with Anubis Includes sacred invocations and shamanic rituals to invite the wisdom of each Egyptian deity into your life Offers a shamanic way to interpret natal horoscopes

Brings Egypt to life!
3 May 2010
Format:Paperback
Ruby and Star Wolf really know their stuff! This book is just wonderful. As someone who came in with little knowledge of astrology beyond my Western sun sign it was fascinating to read and learn not just about a new language of astrology, but also about the different Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. Easy to read, a wonderful depth of knowledge, and a brilliant new way to approach astrology. I also love how each chapter end with a ritual to call in and honor each deity, it really helped with absorbing and understanding each sign, a great way to "bring it home" and make it meaningful. I highly recommend to both beginners and experts who are interested in exploring a new aspect of astrology!

I am reading this book now. I am enjoying looking at astrology from a perspective other than the Western astrology. Ruby gives excellent readings on natal astrology charts. both Ruby and StarWolf are dedicated to helping people help themselves.

A Valiant Effort, but alas...
9 April 2011
Format:Paperback
I recently finished this book after scouring the internet for material on Egyptian Astrology. It was a good read, but should come with a few disclaimers.
First, as perhaps the title should imply, a good portion of the material was "channeled" by the authors, and thus is not verifiable by others sources. This includes all of the correspondences they draw between their new Egyptian Astrology and traditional astrology, as well as some of their versions of the Egyptian myths.
Second, the authors sprinkled just enough scientific terminology into the book to make it clear they do not know much about Biology or Psychology. They use the Freudian term "ego" in a way that could more easily be identified with either the Freudian "id" or the Jungian "self" than with the ego.
Lastly, the correspondences they draw seem rather forced at time. For example, they identify Set with Mars, rather than Saturn as most Egypto-Pagans, including myself, would do. Set's identification with the barren desert, which the Egyptians in term identified with death, makes him an appropriate correspondent for Saturn. I presume this, and the other weak correspondences were made because of the inherent difficult in trying to completely overlay one set of mythos over another.
The book was a valiant effort to create a coherent system of Egyptian Astrology, but it has some weaknesses. I would like to see a book written on the indigenous Egyptian Astrological system developed in pre-Ptolemaic Egypt. Furthermore, it is arguable that the "traditional" astrology system is of Egyptian origin, since it was refined to an art-form in Ptolemaic Egypt.
