110 5 Symbolism on Egyptian Zodiacs and New Complete Decoding
We should explain that in the previous investigations the
circle with an eye on the Round zodiac was interpreted in
several different ways. For instance, N.A. Morozov identified
it with the Sun 43 while T.N. Fomenko with Moon 44 . Let us
notice that Egyptologists connect this symbol of an eye
with the Sun as well as with Moon: “The sacred eye, or the
eye of Ra, or heaven, is the Sun ... But there are two eyes
represented, and ... the right the Sun and, the left the moon. 45
However, we would like to suggest another explanation of the
symbol of an eye on the Egyptian zodiacs, at least in the cases
when it is an attribute of a planet.
Among all the Egyptian zodiacs that we investigated, this
eye appeared (in association with a planetary symbol) only
twice, and in the both cases near Aries. On the Round zodiac
it is placed between Aries and Pisces, and on the Outer
Petosiris zodiac, it is on the head of the female representing
Moon, in between the symbols of Aries and Taurus (see Figures
5.54 and 5.55). Let us observe that exactly in Aries there
is a star named Eye of Aries or simply Eye, which was a famous
star in ancient astronomy. Nowadays, it is called Alpha
Aries (or simply “αAries) and it is the brightest star in the
Aries constellation. There is a convention, which was introduced
by the German astronomer Johann Bayer in the 17th
century, to assign Greek letters to stars in a constellation,
according to their visibility. The symbol α is reserved for the
brightest star. Aries representation as a ram (Aries in Latin is
Ram) is identified with the Egyptian god Amon, who is more
frequently found in conjecture with Ra, as Amon-Ra, than
alone. So, the Egyptian equivalent for the expression Eye of
Aries could very well be Eye of Amon-Ra or simply Eye of
Ra and be symbolized by .
Therefore, it seems that the eye, as a planetary attribute
on the Egyptian zodiacs, signifies simply the fact that the
planet was in the proximity of the star Eye. We have only
two examples with the eye, and in both cases, it is related
either to the Sun or Moon. Based on this information we can
conjecture that this symbol was used as planetary attribute
in association with the Sun or Moon only.
5.4.13 Moon in the Main Horoscope
On Figure 5.56 we show Moon on different Egyptian zodiacs.
Let us recall that we use the convention in which we mark
with shaded labels for those zodiacs, where it was not possible
to identify the symbol of Moon during the first stage and the
identification was obtained only after the calculations.
Moon is simple to identify in the case, when there is a
symbol of crescent appearing on the zodiac. For example, such
symbols can be found on the both Petosiris zodiacs and the
Color Thebes zodiac. It is more complicated case, when the
symbol representing the Sun on the zodiac is similar or even
the same as the symbol for Moon. In such situation we have to

consider several possible variants. For instance, on the Small
Esna zodiac the Sun and Moon have the same representation
(compare Figures 5.56 (EM) and 5.50 (EM)) as a circle
with a crescent marked along its lower edge. As we already
mentioned, a narrow crescent could be added to the circle representing
the Sun to indicated that Moon in such a form can
only be located not far from the Sun. But the same symbol
of a circle with a crescent was also used for Moon, so in such
a case the final identification should be done based on the
calculation using the additional astronomical information.
