Libra and its Decan Constellations.

Decan 13

    Decan 13 seen below the altar which the lion figure Lupus has his forefeet upon, is a male figure with either a swine/baboon or a lion head, wearing a sun disk crown and has one star below his left hand.
    Since Decan 13 is seen as a netjeru in human form, therefore it represents a spiritual understanding.

    There is a connection here with Grand Temple Decan 8, in that the male figure there has a sun disk crown, but it has the Cobra wrapped around it, and also there is only one star.

    The hieroglyphs seen in front of him show
a bird figure either
    the goose sign, Egypt. b3, (ba)
    or duck sign, Egypt. s3, (sa),
then what may be either
    two courtyard signs, Egypt. h,
    or Egypt. sh,
then the water sign, Egypt. n,
    and one source showing three dots under it,
and ending with a star.
    Thus we see [ba-hh-n-? or ba-sh-n-?]
    or possibly [sa-hh-n-? sa-sh-n-?].

  

    Compared to Denderah Decan 13, a major connection is seen here with the crown, male figure, and star.

 

    Grand Temple Decan 8 is a male figure with a normal head wearing a circular Cobra on his head which forms a sun disk crown flanked by uraeus, thus a form of Ra, and above it one star.    See Grand Temple Decan 8 and 36.

    Ra has the circular Cobra on his head, as seen on Grand Temple Decan 36.

    Decan 8 is named    
Ousdja ty, Oustya, or Ustha, seen as
a goose-like bird and Egyptian Ousdja,
then the Egyptian sign for ti,
then the feather sign Egypt. y,
followed by a star.
    Thus [Ousdja ti-y].
    As can be seen in the sequence of stars are the names Sebshesan (Libra), Ipedjes, and Weshaty-Bekaty.    See more on this on Denderah Decan 9 and 10.
    As seen on "http://home.main.rr.com/imyunnut/Den.Round.html" by Joanne Conman, she mentions Weshaty, which means "The One Who Relates to Fattening" or "The One Who Relates to Night."

 

    Its deity is called     Duamutef (Thmoomathph, Tuamutef) was a son of Horus, seen as a mummified man with a head of a jackal.    Protector of the stomach, and protected by the goddess Neith.

 

    Associated with LIBRA, the stars specified here:
as in Virgo as Spica, representing Weshaty-Bekaty (Decan 13-Decan 12),
and Libra as Zuben Eschamali and Zuben Elgenubi, called Seshesen.

 

Select one of the following to open it.
Each of these are connected to the constellation Libra,
Lupus, Draco (Corona Borealis), Crux, Saturn
Decan 13.
