270 8 The Dates Shown on the Zodiacs form Ancient Egyptian Tombs and Sarcophagi<br />

Let us point out that on the zodiac (RS), in the upper<br />

rows, which are reserved for the planetary symbols, there are<br />

other figures holding planetary walking sticks. More precisely,<br />

in Capricorn in its upper row, there are two male and one<br />

female figures holding sticks (see Figure ??). Since there is<br />

a female figure among these symbols, it is most likely that<br />

this sequence may be associated with Venus. Let us recall<br />

that we have already identified the main figure <strong>of</strong> Venus in<br />

Aquarius, but it is still possible that Venus was in Capricorn.<br />

Therefore, it is appropriate to consider that all the possible<br />

locations <strong>of</strong> Venus, including both constellations <strong>of</strong> Aquarius<br />

and Capricorn. Our computations were based on all possible<br />

variants. However, in the final solution Venus turned out to<br />

be located in Aquarius — as we expected. On the other hand,<br />

notice that the walking sticks held by by the female travelers<br />

in Aquarius are equipped with a specific handles on their<br />

tops. One can not say this about the walking sticks, which<br />

are held by figures accompaning the “additional Venus” in<br />

Capricorn. Let us recall that on the Egyptian <strong>zodiacs</strong> the<br />

planetary walking stick is not just a simple stick, but it always<br />

has a special handle on its top (see subsection 5.4.1). However,<br />

these figures could definitely belong to the procesion <strong>of</strong> Venus.<br />

Notice that in the sector <strong>of</strong> Capricorn, there is another figure<br />

holding something like a walking stick (See Figure 8.35).<br />

However, this sticked is curved and there is a cobra placed<br />

over its top. But, a snake-like-stick and a feather are the attributes<br />

<strong>of</strong> Mercury (see section 5.4.10). It seems that this<br />

figure belongs to the procession <strong>of</strong> Mercury, which is extending<br />

to Capricorn.<br />

Finally, we have to identify on the Ramses VI zodiac the<br />

symbols <strong>of</strong> the Sun and Moon. On Figure 8.37 we show the<br />

Lower Part with the redish strip its bottom. It could be indicated<br />

by this color that the Sun was present in this area, i.e.<br />

in Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio or Libra. There<br />

is no other syblo that could be considered as a pointer to the<br />

location <strong>of</strong> the Sun. Notice that this identification agrees with<br />

the location <strong>of</strong> Mercury and Venus in Aquarius.<br />

On the other hand, it is logical to expect that the presence<br />

<strong>of</strong> Moon could be symbolized on the Ramzez VI zodiac in way<br />

indicating that it reflects the light from the Sun. Indeed, the<br />

presence <strong>of</strong> the sun was marked in red, so a similar change <strong>of</strong><br />

colors could apply to Moon. Indeed, there is one sector on the<br />

zodiac, which is different from the other constellation sectors<br />

— Cancer. The boat symbolizing Cancer is white, while all<br />

the other boats are yellow or even yellow-redish in the area<br />

where we assumed the presence <strong>of</strong> the Sun. This can be a<br />

clear indication <strong>of</strong> the silver light <strong>of</strong> Moon. Therefore, we can<br />

conclude that Moon is shown in Cancer.<br />

8.5.4 Main Horoscope on the Ramses VI Zodiac<br />

In this way we have obtained the following decoding <strong>of</strong> the<br />

main horoscope on the Ramses VI zodiac (RS):<br />

Figure 8.37: Marking on the Ramses VI zodiac indicating the<br />

presence <strong>of</strong> the Sun and Moon.
