Gemini and its Decan Constellations.

Gemini

    On the Denderah Zodiac, Gemini is seen as a man walking hand in hand with a woman, with its name seen by some sources as Clusus or Claustrum Hori, meaning the place of Him Who cometh, and others it is station of the coming.
    Whereas the Coptic called it by the name Pi Mahi, meaning the united, the completely joined.
    Of course in Latin, Gemini is called twins.
    Since Gemini is seen as a netjeru in a dual human form (male and female), therefore it represents a dual spiritual understanding.

    In "The Witness of the Stars," by E.W. Bullinger, page 137 "The name in the ancient Denderah Zodiac is Clusus, or Claustrum Hor:, which means the place of Him who cometh.    It is represented by two human figures walking, or coming.    The second appears to be a woman.    The other appears to be a man.    It is a tailed figure, the tail signifying He cometh."

    "The old Coptic name was Pi-Mah, the united, as in brotherhood."

    Gemini as seen on the Grand Temple is located above Decan 33.    These two figures look very much like Shu and Tefnut.

    On ESNE Plate 79 the above two figures are in sequence as to be considered as representing Gemini.

    As seen above on the upper section of ESNE Plate 87 these figures are located after Cancer and before Orion, to represent Gemini.

 

    On the lower section of ESNE Plate 87 the above two figures are not Gemini, since they are located between Capricornus and Sagittarius.    Note that they both are standing on a serpent.    (See Shu).

 

    The hieroglyphic origin of Gemini is Shu and Tefnut, and seen as two plant shoots.

    Also as seen above on ESNE Plate 79 these figures are out of sequence if to be Gemini and are shown before Leo.    Both have the same appearance as the figures shown in the image to your left.    (See Shu).

    In the season Shemu III (Shomu, Ete) - Harvest, Harvests, the Summer.
    The netjer of the season was Khonsu-Ra.

    The month of Gemini, as seen on Calendar Dates the month dates as:
Tropical: Apr. 15-May 14,
Gregorian: May 15-June 13,
Julian: May 29-June 27,
the eleventh month was named Epiphi, Epipi, Apethont, whereas the Christian coptes called it Epep.
    The netjer of the month was Wadjet (Uadjet, Udjat), at Ramesseum: Apet, at Edfu: Apet, note Apethont mentioned above.

    The star is in Orion.

 

    In the image below as seen on the Grand Temple these two deities, the first being Jupiter and the second is Mercury, both are standing on a boat which is Argo Navis, all located between Cancer and Canis Major (in Gemini) and seen above Decan 37.

    On the Grand Temple the deity below is located between Gemini and Orion (in Taurus) and is located above Decan 34.

 

    Cyril Fagan comments, "Gemini, the Twins, rose at eve during the lunar month of Tybi when the sun was in the opposite constellation, Sagittarius.    The twin stars were known as the air-god Shu and his wife and sister Tefnut, the lion-hearted goddess of the Sun's heat."
