Sagittarius and its Decan Constellations.

Decan 7-8

    Decan 8 is below the stinger tail of Scorpius and seen as a dog figure sitting on a serpent, with an unusual crown, with five to seven possible points, but one source shows this as a sun or lunar disk with a glow around it as if it is reflecting the sun light.    In front of it's chest are three stars aligned vertically, which may signify the hieroglyph for Hor, which is the deity seen there also.
    Since Decan 8 is seen as a netjeru in animal form, therefore it represents a pure force of nature.
    As seen on "http://home.main.rr.com/imyunnut/Den.Round.html" by Joanne Conman, it is claimed that this is a "baboon sitting in a bark, wearing a crown with what looks like a lunar crescent above two horns."

    As to comparing with Grand Temple Decan 13 it is a dog figure with no crown, seen sitting in a circular sun or Moon symbol disk, with three stars above the disk.

    Above the crown are various unclear hieroglyphs, which may connect to the Grand Temple Decan 13 name of Tjesech en khentet, but are mostly unrecognizable.

  

 

    From www.siloam.net/denderah it claims that Denderah Decan 8, 9, and 10 represented as Thoth-Osiris are entitled as "Primordial Instincts."    "This process is the beginning of the whole cycle represented by the baboon of Thoth (see Denderah Decan 8), at the altar of animal instincts (see Denderah Decan 9), we see the man of Osiris (see Denderah Decan 10)."

    Compared to Denderah Decan 8, a major connection can be seen for the dog figures, and their sitting posture and the sun or lunar disk, and the three stars.    There is a similarity to the dog figure in Triangulum.

 

    Grand Temple Decan 13 is a dog figure with no crown, which is sitting in a circular sun or Moon symbol disk.    On one of the Grand temple images the three stars can be seen above the disk.

    As seen above in the Denderah Zodiac for Triangulum is the figure to the right, which some claim is a baboon with a long tail, but it has the appearance of a dog, the same which is seen in Denderah Decan 8 and Grand Temple Decan 13, in the same sitting position with hands on its thighs.    Some state that this figure in Triangulum is the Taht-Aanu, dog faced, which is a cynocephalus.    He is also a scribe and similar to Anubis.    He is also a Moon god which is under Sagittarius.

    Decan 13 is called
Tjesech en khentet, Tjemes en Khentet, or Themes-en-Khentet, seen with
the tether rope sign, Egypt, tj,
then the slate sign, Egypt. s, and ch, which is called Menhed a scribes pallet, consisting of a pallet, black and red pigments, a water jar, and a pen.
but has a folded cloth sign, Egypt. s next,
then the water sign, Egypt. n,
ends with the Egyptian sign for Khentet, also seen on Grand Temple Decan 10-13,
and ends in a star.
    Thus reads [tj-s-ch en khentet].
    As seen on "http://home.main.rr.com/imyunnut/Den.Round.html" by Joanne Conman, Khentet means "to travel southward" or "upstream."    The meaning of Themes(Tjesech)-en-Khentet is uncertain.
    Khent is seen on Grand Temple Decan 10, 11, 12, 13, 25, 26 and 27.
   

    Its deity is called     Hor (Heru), as we see in Denderah Decan 8 has 3 stars in front of it as seen above.

 

    Associated with LYRA
and possibly DRACO as continued through the heavens,
but has stars in Lyra as [2] Wega (Vega)
and Scorpius as Lesath and Shaula.
