Scorpius and its Decan Constellations.

Decan 11-12

    Decan 12 is seen below the hind end of the lion figure representing Lupus, as a male figure with a normal face or possibly a hawk head, and is wearing the Double Crown (Pshent, unification of the white and red crown) or Horus combination crown with the curly item in front with only one star below his left hand.    It also connects very easily with Grand Temple Decan 9, a male figure with the combination crown with the curly item in front with only one star above it.
    Since Decan 12 is seen as a netjeru in human form, therefore it represents a spiritual understanding.

    The hieroglyphs here
begin with either
    a goose sign, Egypt. b3, (ba)
    or duck sign, Egypt. s3, (sa),
which is seen standing on either
    a sphinx sign, Egypt. r, or l,
    or a basket sign, Egypt. k,
followed by a star.
    Thus we see [ba-r or ba-l or ba-k as in Beka]
or it is possibly [sa-r or sa-l or sa-k].

  

 

                

    Comparing to Denderah Decan 12, we can note the connection with the crown and a male figure, and one star.

 

    Grand Temple Decan 9 is a male figure, wearing the Double Crown (Pshent, unification of the white and red crown) or Horus combination crown with the curly cue with only one star above it.    This crown can also be found on Grand Temple Decan 3, 9, and 31.

    Decan 9 is named    
Beka ty, Beka ti, or Bekatha,
and begins with an Egyptian sign, for beka,
then an Egyptian sign for ti,
and a feather sign, Egypt. y,
followed by a star.
    Thus we have [beka ti-y].
    As can be seen in the sequence of stars are the names Sebshesan (Libra), Ipedjes, and Weshaty-Bekaty.
    As seen on "http://home.main.rr.com/imyunnut/Den.Round.html" by Joanne Conman, she mentions Bekaty, which means "The One Who Relates to Pregnancy" or "The One Who Relates to Morning."    Also see notes mentioned in Ara.

 

    Its deity is called     Qebehsenouef (Qebhsennuf), Douamoutef (Tuamutef), or Hapi.

 

    If associated with LUPUS, the stars specified here:
as in Virgo as Spica, representing Weshaty-Bekaty (Decan 13- Decan 12),
and Corona Borealis as Alphecca, called Ipedjes.

 

Select one of the following to open it.
Each of these are connected to the constellation Scorpius,
Hercules, Ophiuchus, Serpens Cauda/Caput,
Decan 9, Decan 10, Decan 11, Decan 12.
