Egyptian astrology

The indigenous astrological tradition of ancient Egypt was Decanic astrology. Classical astrology in Egypt developed after it was conquered by Alexander the Great.

The Zodiac

The earliest Zodiac found in Egypt dates to the first century BC, the Dendera Zodiac

According to Firmicus Maternus, the system of horoscopic astrology was given early on to an Egyptian pharaoh named Nechepso and his priest Petosiris.They apparently wrote a major textbook which explicated the system and it is from this text that much of Hellenistic astrology was drawn. This system formed the basis of all later forms of Horoscopic astrology.
