cases, representing the zodiac, place the house of the Sun 
(Virgo) in the square above the head, and that of the Moon 
(Leo) below the feet ; and as our coffin contains in the head- 
square the image of the solar Isis, the warden of Virgo, it is 
evident that the signs following Virgo, must stand near the 
head- square, and so forth. In short, the zodiacal signs on 
the coffin are simply arranged as follows : — the perpendicular

Our inquiry is now, what planets are signified by the 
figures, which are to be found in the houses destitute of their 
lords, or wardens. As the images, insignia, names and sur- 
names of the seven planetary gods are also known, the places 
of the planets are easily made out. Every house, enclosing 
a planetary god, defines the place of the planet. 
The sun-god was called Osiris (the illustrious), and also 
Horus toto (the king of both the worlds), of which the former 
was ornamented with a crown, the latter with a solar disc. 
As these gods appear, on both sides, in the fourth house from 
Virgo, in the sign Sagittarius, which the Sun then entered on 
the autumnal equinoctial day ; and as all planetary configu- 
rations of the ancients were observed on the first day of a 
new season, it is evident that the Sun stood then in the first 
degree of Sagittarius, when the first day of the autumn 
began. 
In the same house of Mars, Sagittarius, we meet with the 
goddesses Isis Amoni (on the left) and Moshi (on the right), 
both signifying the moon. Consequently the Moon stood 
then also in Sagittarius. 
Further, in the roof of the same house, a sparrow-hawk is 
visible, which commonly signifies the planet Venus ; where- 
fore Sagittarius contained, at the birth of the defunct, not 
only the Sun and the Moon, but also Venus.
