Astrology in Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egyptian astrology integrated celestial observations into their spiritual and daily life, believing that celestial bodies influenced human fate and divine order. They associated specific stars and planets with gods and cosmic forces, using these as guides for decision-making, rituals, and understanding life’s cycles. Their astronomical knowledge helped determine important events like festivals and agricultural practices. Unlike modern astrology, which emphasizes personality traits, Egyptian astrology often focused on divine symbolism and divine will, viewing the stars as a reflection of the gods’ influence on the world. This system reinforced their worldview of harmony between the cosmos, gods, and human destiny.
