clear that Venus was either in Taurus or on its boundary with<br />
Gemini, outside Gemini. Indeed, Venus is located outside the<br />
Gemini brackets, on the side <strong>of</strong> Taurus.<br />
Now it become understandable why in the group <strong>of</strong> Venus,<br />
in which we initially included four female figures with the<br />
planetary walking sticks, there were two larger and two<br />
smaller figures, while on all the previously analyzed <strong>zodiacs</strong><br />
Venus was always represented by two figures <strong>of</strong> the same size.<br />
In fact, as it turned out, in the case <strong>of</strong> the Small zodiac, it<br />
wasn’t different. Simply, two female figures <strong>of</strong> the larger size<br />
were not related to Venus, but they were a part <strong>of</strong> the Gemini<br />
brackets. Their similar to Venus appearance was caused by the<br />
association <strong>of</strong> this symbol with the astronomical hieroglyph<br />
<strong>of</strong> the summer solstice in Gemini, where such a female figure<br />
symbolizes Venus (see subsection 5.8.4). On the Small zodiac,<br />
this hieroglyph is divided into two parts, which are the Gemini<br />
brackets in the bottom row.<br />
On the color annotated zodiac, two female figure corresponding<br />
to the Gemini brackets are marked in red, while<br />
two other, which symbolize Venus, are marked in yellow.<br />
7.6.3 Planetary Figures in the Main Horoscope<br />
on the Small Esna Zodiac<br />
Let us begin with the Sun and Moon. On the Small zodiac<br />
there are only two discs, which could be considered as representations<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Sun and Moon, present. Both discs can<br />
be found in the middle row — the first one is located in between<br />
the horns <strong>of</strong> Taurus, and the second one is over Aries.<br />
We had a similar situation on the Big Esna zodiac, although<br />
on the Small zodiac the two discs are completely identical.<br />
Therefore, as it was also a case with the Big zodiac, we have<br />
to consider two possibilities:<br />
(1) The Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Aries, or<br />
(2) The Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Aries.<br />
In the full solution, we’ve obtained later that the Sun was<br />
located in Taurus and the Moon in Aries.<br />
All the other planetary symbols, as we already discussed<br />
it the previous subsection, are placed in the bottom row <strong>of</strong><br />
the zodiac. They are arranged in groups <strong>of</strong> travelers holding<br />
walking sticks. It was the most fortunate that all these planetary<br />
symbols were located in the preserved part <strong>of</strong> the Small<br />
zodiac. Among these groups only Venus can be recognized<br />
without any trouble. For the remaining male planets we had<br />
to consider all the possible cases in order to avoid eventual<br />
mistakes caused by our subjective judgment in recognizing the<br />
male planets symbolized by these groups <strong>of</strong> travelers. Nevertheless,<br />
in the final full solution, we found out that many <strong>of</strong><br />
ours initial ideas were confirmed. We’ve already discussed in<br />
section 5.4 several specific attributes <strong>of</strong> the planetary symbols<br />
in the main horoscope on various Egyptian <strong>zodiacs</strong>, which can<br />
be used to identify these planets. In particular, we discussed<br />
there the planetary figures on the Small Esna zodiac.<br />
7.6 Decoding the Date from the Small Esna Zodiac 199<br />
Let us list the planetary groups in the bottom row on<br />
the Small zodiac and indicate their identification, which was<br />
obtained in the final full solution. We begin at the left end<br />
<strong>of</strong> the zodiac, and move gradually to the right side till we<br />
reach the destroyed part <strong>of</strong> the zodiac. On the color annotated<br />
zodiac, all these groups are marked in yellow.<br />
The First Planet — the group composed <strong>of</strong> two travelers<br />
holding planetary walking sticks. Both <strong>of</strong> them wear high<br />
hats. According to the full solution, this group represent Mars<br />
in the main horoscope. Following them is the male figure,<br />
with falcon’s head with a feather, holding a planetary walking<br />
stick. This figure is the left Gemini bracket. That implies<br />
that this planet was in Gemini. A small star is placed in front<br />
<strong>of</strong> the face <strong>of</strong> the first traveler in this group. This is the usual<br />
attribute <strong>of</strong> visibility, which means that this planet was visible.<br />
It is quite clear, because according to its location among<br />
zodiacal constellations, it was very far from the Sun.<br />
A little further to the right, the same planet (again represented<br />
by two similar male travelers) is shown in a boat.<br />
That means, this is a symbol <strong>of</strong> the partial horoscope. We<br />
will discuss it later. Further, there is the right Gemini bracket<br />
symbolized by a pair <strong>of</strong> female figures holding planetary walking<br />
sticks. The Gemini brackets were already explained in the<br />
preceding subsection. After that, we reach the next planetary<br />
procession on the Small zodiac.<br />
The Second Planet — two female figures holding planetary<br />
walking sticks. The leading female has the lioness head. This is<br />
clearly a symbol <strong>of</strong> Venus (for more information about Venus<br />
symbols see subsection 5.4.8). This pair is located on the right<br />
site <strong>of</strong> the right Gemini bracket, i.e. it was not located in<br />
Gemini. That means, Venus was either in Taurus or between<br />
Gemini or Taurus. There is again a small star in the front <strong>of</strong><br />
the first female’s face, which means that Venus was visible.<br />
However, here this is a rather important information, because<br />
the Sun could be located in Taurus as well.<br />
The Third Planet — a single male figure with human face<br />
holding a planetary walking stick. According to the obtained<br />
full solution — this planet was Mercury. It was located under<br />
Taurus and Aries, thus Mercury was in Taurus or in Aries.<br />
There is no small star around it, so Mercury was not visible.<br />
The Forth Planet — three male travelers, two <strong>of</strong> them with<br />
ram’s heads and one with ibis head. According to the full<br />
solution — this planet was Saturn (see subsections 5.4.2 and<br />
5.4.3, where we discussed in detail the symbolism <strong>of</strong> Saturn<br />
in the main horoscope on the Egyptian <strong>zodiacs</strong>). This planet<br />
is located in between Aquarian brackets, therefore it was in<br />
Aquarius. In front <strong>of</strong> the middle traveler’s face there is a small<br />
star — an attribute <strong>of</strong> visibility for this planet. However, it is<br />
clear that with such a large distance from the Sun, this planet<br />
had to be visible, so even without this attribute (which is<br />
could be omitted here) the visibility <strong>of</strong> this planet is obvious.<br />
The Fifth Planet — the long procession, composed <strong>of</strong> seven<br />
male travelers at the right end <strong>of</strong> the preserved part <strong>of</strong> the
