This Egyptian zodiac card features Anubis, the iconic jackal-headed god of ancient Egyptian mythology. The illustration shows him with his characteristic black canine features - pointed ears and elongated snout - wearing the traditional blue and gold striped pharaonic headdress. He holds a golden staff (likely the was scepter) and wears ornate golden jewelry including a collar and belt, emphasizing his divine status. As the card explains, Anubis was the "God of the Dead and Mummification," serving as guardian and guide for souls transitioning to the afterlife. His role in weighing hearts against the feather of truth made him a crucial figure in Egyptian beliefs about death and judgment. People born under this sign (May 8-27, June 29-July 13) are described as having traits that reflect Anubis's deep, spiritual nature.
