Egyptian zodiac: your god sign
The popular “Egyptian zodiac” links each birth date to one of twelve deities of ancient Egypt. Unlike the Western zodiac, the dates are scattered through the year, so a god can rule several separate periods. It is a modern personality system inspired by Egyptian mythology rather than a method recorded by the ancient Egyptians themselves, and it makes for an entertaining portrait.
