Product Description

Product Description
So you know which star sign you are, and even your Chinese Horoscope, but what about your Egyptian Birth Sign? Are you a Sphinx, Thoth, or Anubis, and who are you most compatible with? Unknown until it was discovered by archaeologists on the Temple of the Sun, the mystic Egyptian horoscopes are divided into 12 signs, each one ruled by a different Egyptian god. This extraordinary system is 4000 years old, but Storm Constantine, an authority on Egyptian Mythology, brings it into the 21st century, with telling insights into personality. After extensive research, she has extrapolated the personalities of the gods and godesses and interpreted this ancient system for today's readers. For each sign, she reveals: the positive and negative characteristics; advice on maintaining health and the most suitable job; how to relate to partner, child, or friend according to their sign; and your fate and fortune through the year.

About the Author
Storm Constantine is one of the UK's foremost fantasy novelists, a practising pagan, and author of nine novels.

2.0 out of 5 stars A wasted opportunity, 8 Feb 2005
By A. Winson "awinson" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having read and enjoyed Storm Constantine's previous work ("Bast and Sekhmet: Eyes of Ra"), I really expected more from this. The book purports to present an original Egyptian system, where each month is "ruled" by a different Ntjr or supernatural being: Toth for September, Horus for October, the Sphinx for January, etc. This is said to have been extracted from original sources in Dendera.

The attributions for each sign, however, were done using questionnaires filled by contemporary people, and then processing the answers. The results reflect that old saying of "Lies, darn lies and statistics". They are quite washed-out, and for each of the zodiac descriptions I read, I could have said it described "me" with as much certainty as any of the ones I read before. There was no "a-ha!" moment, and each of them seemed to have been written to be as generic in its description as possible.

I also object to the inclusion of Cabbala attributes for each sign, basing this on the supposition that Akhenaton created the system, and as such, would be relevant.

The only interesting parts I found, and the ones that warrant the extra star in the rating, are what Storm calls "workings", that describe what is basically an invocation to the deity or being in question, one for each sign. But if you are building your relationship with the Ntjr, you are already half-way there, and could have easily written these yourself.

In short, if you are looking for something that might enhance your understanding of Egyptian culture, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for the astrology flavour of the month, you might enjoy this book.
