Aquarius and its Decan Constellations.

Pegasus

    On Denderah Zodiac under Perseus and above Aquarius, Pegasus is seen as the headless body of an animal-like figure facing in the opposite direction of the other figures and standing on all four legs and it has a short tail.    Behind its tail is a star, which may or may not be associated with the small bird above it (Cygnus).
    Since Pegasus is seen as a netjeru in headless animal form, therefore it represents a pure force of nature.

    Some sources claim it is known as Pe-Ka, Peka or Pega.

    On the Grand Temple we see three deities but then the one to the right is a headless male figure located before Perseus above Decan 21.    This may be Pegasus, as one source claims, "Under the ram is (Pegasus) the body of a person who has lost its head while walking on all fours."

    In "The Witness of the Stars," by E.W. Bullinger, page 89 "In the Denderah Zodiac there are two character immediately below the horse, Pe and Ka.    Peka or Pega is in Hebrew, the chief, and Sus is horse.    So that the very word (Pegasus) has come down to us and has been preserved through all the languages."

 

    From www.siloam.net it claims "Pegasus - In the Great Square of Pegasus some claim that there is a great door known as the ‘Wall of the Ruler.’    Beyond the fish’s mouth (east fish of Pisces) is a man holding a ram (Perseus) by its ears, as if preparing to sacrifice it.    Under the ram is (Pegasus) the body of a person who has lost its head while walking on all fours."

    This is associated with the goat-baboon-hawk identity at Aries.

    "The trial of rationality is why the man figure walks like a beast without a head.    It is a test of rational wisdom never experienced.    It is a battle of images that must be won to achieve the ‘common sense’ position behind Bastet at the ‘Wall of the Ruler.’    The ‘Wall of the Ruler’ cannot be crossed by rational beings."    In order to approach the House of God.    (See note in Eye or Utchat in Pisces).

 

    As seen on "http://home.main.rr.com/ imyunnut/Den.Round.html" by Joanne Conman, "Above Aquarius is the figure of a man (Perseus), about to slit the throat of a gazelle, while just below him is a headless human figure (Pegasus) on all fours.    The headless being is above Capricorn as well as above Aquarius.    The man is the god Anti.    Anti was accused of beheading Hathor in the Jumilhac papyrus.    His punishment was to be skinned alive and he became associated with the flayed skin or 'imyut' fetish, a symbol of the god Anubis.    Egyptian gods' flesh was gold and their bones were silver.    Having no flesh, Anti was associated with silver.    On this ceiling, he is positioned over the decan Seret (Denderah Decan 1), which is the only decan whose metal is silver.    Just below him is what looks like a headless animal, but which has human hands and feet.    It may possible be Anti's skin.    Brugsh believed the Egyptians called the sign of Capricorn, 'Skin'."
