To this god with the head of a wild dog is attributed the invention and spread of the techniques of embalming the dead.
In the guise of a roaming dog, this god explores every cemetery, fulfilling the duty of a sacred search, for unattended souls.
Anubis' ministrations resemble those of a refined cook and a talented painter in the care he takes selecting the best ingredients for baths and aromatic balms to adorn the parts of the body requiring preservation.
The funereal task is never macabre.
Those born under this sign are clever and full of compassion, but they harbor the presence of darkness.
With this realistic understanding of the dark side of life, their character is deeply ambivalent and sometimes fatalistic.
Their deep sufferings can sometimes build a wall of inhibition that occasionally restrains their amorous initiatives.
They radiate a profound personality, are aware of the opposing forces within them and are always ready and willing to adopt the best solutions to remedy any psychological dilemma.
This information was obtained by the Museum of Man in San Diego, California, where they have Egyptian astrology cards in their gift shop.
