Anubis was the jackal-headed Egyptian god of death and embalming, and is said to be the son of Osiris by Nepthys. It is the job of Anubis to weigh the souls of the dead, and determine whether they were worthy of admittance to the underworld. As part of his duties, he is the patron of lost souls and orphans.Anubis is typically portrayed as half human, and half jackal or dog. The jackal has connections to funerals in Egypt - bodies which were not buried properly might be dug up and eaten by hungry, scavenging jackals. Anubis' skin is almost always black in images, because of its association with the colors of rot and decay.

After Osiris was killed by Seth, it was Anubis' job to embalm the body and wrap it in bandages -- thus making Osiris the first of the mummies.
Later, when Set attempted to attack and defile Osiris' corpse, Anubis defended the body and helped Isis restore Osiris to life. In later periods, Osiris became the god of the underworld, and Anubis guides the deceased into his presence. In the pyramid texts,A PASSAGE READS, "Get thee onwards, Anubis, into Amenti, onwards, onwards to Osiris."
Egyptians believed Anubis watched over tombs from a high mountain. From this strategic vantage point, he could see anyone who might attempt to desecrate the graves of the deceased. He is often invoked as protection against those who would rob a tomb or commit evil acts in the necropolis.

He looked more like the african hunting dog not a jackal. He is only about 4 foot high at the most is fairly thin but I guess about the size of one of those african dogs if it was standing on its legs. It's legs were fairly underdeveloped human legs and brown. He wanted me to notice him and he freaked me out a bit.

I didn't think much more about it until tonight after an unsettling experience as I was going off to sleep. I remembered Anubis was about 14 degrees of cancer in my chart and wondered how close T. Jupiter is atm. Also of course T. pluto is in opposition in Capricorn.

I looked up T. Anubis and it's exactly conjunct my asc today. Two nights ago it was 40' back but when I looked him up he was 2' off my asc. I'm so in awe sometimes.

Hi Chryseis, I'm sorry your posts keep getting lost. When I see Anubis conjunct my Sun, I think it could explain why I can sense spirits in a house and if they'll be peaceful with me or not. BUT I've never seen them, because I don't want to, I was scared. I can't grasp what Osiris conjunct Vertex mean yet. Can you elaborate on the archetype traits? Hope your next posts'll go all right, I know how it can be frustrating.

Anubis conjunct Sun, might make a person dedicated to what needs to be done. They could be a little kooky as well - like moon lunacy sort of kooky. If it represented male figures in a person's life, I think the guys would have a bit of swag about them, probably a slightly ribald humour and may drop obvious sexual hints/suggestions. They might be work focused, never feeling like they escape work, however they may not exactly achieve much, because the work would have a mundane, never ending aspect to it.

Osiris' traits seem like, he is fool-weary, a little impatient, a little self-centred, though he doesn't let his pride get away on him.

For a female, this aspect might tend to make her want to go about her day to day, unnoticed - however something will happen often and they feel they are found out - even if they are not doing anything wrong, they might feel like they have been pulled up - probably by a male.

Yes, this didn't go well with my Venus in Scorpio when I'm being found out, has a reputation for avoiding people on purpose. Thank you for your reply , I get excited when I get answers.

What do you think about Anubis in the 8th conjunct the 9th cusp by around half a degree, opposite Moon exact and square the Nodes?

oo, I likey...not sure why yet so I shall type as I ponder.

Anubis in the 8th indicates an individual who has made transformative progress. Very closely conjunct the 9th cusp, it is hard to describe but I will give it a go. I would say this person has been taken down from nearly finishing high school so to speak back to about grade 3 or 4 in primary/elementary school. Well that is what it would feel like to the psyche of the person. The reason for this is like a tying up of loose ends things not done well or whatever back somewhere, but now after having achieved something transformative and of a significant 'level' they are then able to have a combo of confidence, skill, insight, and 'heart' intricacies to go back and try and give a few things another go. But it requires nerves of steel, its not easy, its a challenge - severe disheartenment can be a temporary biproduct of trying to work through these unachieved other things. At these moments an image that would possibly explain the internal response to these challenges, would be:

The person in a boat, in a fairly stormy sea. There is sufficient moonlight illuminating the plight of the individual out there in the night in this pretty strenuous sea and rainy conditions. But the light is like a double edged sword, sure it helps the person see where they are, but to see where they are is a bit traumatic and results in a feeling of awful vulnerability and a kind of deep desolation - it does not feel likely that the person would see the dark night through. Then, randomly, the boat gets overturned by a swinging wave - and in that moment the person feels - that's it then, I'm drowned - dead. But no, they are not! Just as they start to get used to the sensation of being in a calmer environment under the surface, the boat gets upturned and they, miraculously by a stroke of luck(how jupiterian), are scooped back in it - albeit a little soaked and bewildered. But from there, who knows...

It seems that Anubis in this position is (8th/9th) has less definition as Anubis (he becomes more human and less dog; paler rather than so dark). He has ambitions where before his ambitions were limited to keeping up with quotas, attending to a never ending job list.

Anubis exactly opposite the Moon has an exceptional quality. But it is barely believed by the person themselves. They know things that just easily occur to them - then they think - did I just experience that correctly? - it seems like I just nailed something and it was just off the top of my head! They are definitely on like a stream that has moon type knowing - and much that I can't even describe. With the opposition situated on the 2/3 and 8/9 houses - there is an ability to bring forth things/wisdom/sciences/magic from other planes (past/future/higher/other 'spaces').

With the opposition of Anubis and Moon in square to the Nodes. This is where things can get a little complicated. The power of the aspect of Anubis and Moon is subjugated to the objectives of the nodal axis. An image: a dog, well trained, but with an excitable/socially exhuberant side is made to 'sit' too long before a plate of food before he can eat. Its painful to watch, he's such a good dog, you can see his dilemma, will there be any repercussions if he breaks the command or can he eat and come back and continue to sit as he was commanded.
After awhile he gets so crazy confused between the old and new orders - his instinctual nature and the imposed command - that he howls, seems to grow - jumps around crazily and then bites off his master's head, then sniffs at the plate of food in passing and continues on in a crazy and chaotic display running away and all over the place with a hundred images in his mind of masters, and not knowing who he is to serve.

This sounds frightening but I think it would be less so if I give an example of something that a person with this aspect can relate to.
This aspect configuration would indicate that you might search through many masters in terms of what to believe - you might be looking for the master that you can serve. The search will be a mixture of traditional religion symbols and beliefs, as well as eastern and western mystic traditions etc.

There are objectives here but I'm not sure if I can favour one over the other, maybe both can be integrated. The objectives of the 'negative' and kind of pagan Anubis and Moon flavours have their own penchants and aims. The opposition is a beneficial aspect between them as they can work in tandem. The objectives of the nodal axis have other objectives that feel initially like they take precedence over many things.

I really can't weigh it up, and besides, it feels like it is like a fish bowl in a greater dynamic anyway. So if all the objectives of your horoscope were taken into account, then the entire horoscope/psyche would be represented as your entire body. The fish bowl of the above aspects might be just the size of your ear. However, now for a further paradox. It may be the size of your ear, but as a sensory organ it can relay to you many things that can affect the whole body.

What about Anubis conj. Neptune in 1st ?

If Moon opposition Anubis represented an ear in terms of the proportion to the entire body (or entire psyche/horoscope) then Neptune conj Anubis in the first would be represented by a hat, albeit, a dark Fedora.

The conjunction of Anubis to Neptune in the first would generally have some of the following characteristics:

I said a hat would be the proportional impact on the psyche, but now I'm going to confuse you (after all it is Neptune we are talking about). Yes, there is an impact on the structure of the body with this one. I can feel it mainly in the head. A tendency for allergy type sensitivities and a tendency for little nasal/throat inflammations - like the passages are very dry here and structure doesn't quite serve function. I can feel a sensation related to the ears and the structure of the face around jaw, throat, nasal passages and their relation to the ear canal.

I can't get any personality effects with this, it just seems to be felt physically/neurally. But I guess the first house is related to the face/head.

So chiefly, there is like an energy stream that goes directly through the left nostril. Its a combo or air/energy and is sensed in the nerve pathways to the brain. Have you ever seen a picture of a person with half of their face like an android and the other half normal face, well - metaphysically, the left side has android functions - so I guess the nut of it is the right side of the brain, however, all the info and collection of resources is done through the left sensory passages - so smell/breath in plus the orbital area and the ear canal and attachment to the head is like a gatherer of info - its quite developed. The sensation in the throat - feels like there are barriers to speaking because it is like the brain prefers to gather info via well, chiefly as said through the left nose, ear, eye, and even throat, however there is some intake or a sensation of some kind of way of processing that begins just in the voice/and swallowing/tasting areas then it swings to both sides where the ears are attached (but is more lightly felt on the right). There is a point half way along the neck just under the jaw both sides, but more so right, then the right temporal area, then from the right side there is like highways to the third eye, but yes coming from the right side.

That's confusing I guess, but in summary, left side nasal passage is pulling in info and energy, eye surrounds and ear attachment area plus dipping down into the ear canal is kind of primed, then throat area is tasting/processing, and info streams up the left nerve channels then is processed from the right temporal and the third eye expands in sensation with info from the temporal area and the repercussions are brought down to the right eye and to the spoken word and the level of respiration required. So the info is gathered for distances and environment like even 30km radius or more - the actual ears for listening are not a priority at this stage, they are just primed, most of the sensing is done via air and tasting.

It seems like a very instinctual thing - like an attuned sensory input that can access distance related to warm scents etc that herald climate aspects, changes, season changes, changes in the environment and new subjects in the environment - so using this ability of taking in air/scents and like fine electromagnetic vibrations and temp changes - akin to if an insect puts a leg on a spider web and the spider is immediately aware - or even aware before that because the web can sense things close before they actually touch the web.

Yes, so a confusing mess to comprehend here, a la me, but I'm sure this a fantastic ability in this aspect that combines physical/animal/probably dog-wolf - actually more of a (have to look it up) - yes a bear dog - but I think there is one with a D but most of the bear dog images are pretty close -scientific name Amphicyonidae.

But I think in some branches, more human types retained this type of structure/ability. So with say you or whoever has this aspect in their charts -
the structure of their face is not the same as the bear dog but metaphysically I can sense the wanting to morph to the optimum structure - but the structure operates like an almost android type of high level intake of info. Android comes to mind but I guess its like almost a computed input in this creature/characteristic and the info travels along a bus like in a computer, so neural pathways, but then the processing is done through mainly the temporal and some other areas but the third eye is involved.

Anubis square DNA asteroid by 2 degrees. What does that mean?

---

The aspect orb is still ok, its not as significant an aspect as the others I've written on here.

I haven't looked up DNA's asteroid meaning so I will go off what I think it is. DNA, generally, as it depends on what planets it is aspecting. But of itself DNA in the chart is the point of retribution. Not on the person themselves but their propensity to impact others and all in nature.

Anubis square DNA has a definite challenging or conflicting way about it. Its a bit harsh. This would tend a person to act and then regret at leisure, or to feel that they were in the wrong place and wrong time. It feels that it wouldn't cut in until about 16-18yrs when they are more operational in the environment. And thereafter the aspect would continue to wind up like a DNA spiral until in 30s-40s the aspect image is like a rod that has been quickly and randomly wound on to with string, rope, fishing line, nylon in parts, all knotted together and haphazardly wound on to the rod with random small marine creatures and seaweed bits all tied up with it.

The personality characteristics and experiences that this image would transmute to would be a person with several pots on the stove or exhausting themselves with trying to cover several bases in terms of fitness goals, social goals, familial goals, lifestyle goals - they start to spread themselves a bit thin and most keenly a crisis would come in their say, 28-42yrs, depending on the individual. They would feel like they are always trying to keep up with a norm or a current trend in terms of how to conduct their lives - mostly it would be related to daily life in terms of coming and going, communicating, networking. The aspect tends to work in with bigger cycles of other planets and it makes up like a texture to an entire fabric of behaviour however it is still tangible.

So yes, it is chiefly an aspect of behaving/adapting to the environment and how that person tries to make a place for themselves in the environment in terms of how they are represented in the social matrix. With the square aspect here they are not so much able to impact the environment like they naturally feel they should try to do - more so they end up feeling at the mercy of the environment - so the crisis mentioned is a real evolutionary one with tones of transcendental values - as the physical keeping up with becomes thin and eventually crumples when it just does not serve the souls need to transform.

Prior to the crisis and beginning as said in late teens, the person would feel like they were on a treadmill and all they can do is randomly jump off when they see a sign flash up for what seems to be the right exit and next thing to do - only to find that it wasn't what they thought - or it was not able to be incorporated, or the person might feel out of sync with it. So an example would be in enrolling to a college that the person may have found out about from a few people that seemed pretty cool and up with it - and when the person gets there its all weird and wrong and they realize if they'd only heard of another place that sounds a lot better, before they enrolled in this two-bit excuse for a college etc, etc... And so it would go on with feeling like they are continually running for a certain thing only to find that when they get there the show is over or it wasn't what was expected or something was wrong about the whole thing.

Anubis here, feels like they have a kind of deceptive smugness to them - like they have led DNA up the garden path kind of. DNA feels at the mercy of, well DNA and they don't get the intricacies of some other web of connection/networking/know-how.

Not really a personality trait, more so function within society and the types of relationships and the persons they associate with professionally.

The person would have some ability to bring the macrocosm of an arena down to a microcosm. May even be literal associations with sporting arenas/stadiums. And a definite ability to assess, weigh up the dynamics of an arena in terms of logistics (people,seating, field of focus, size, location etc) and be able to translate this logistical impression/needs study down to a target - such as a marketing strategy that would be concurrent with the resources of the arena.

Other type of arenas would still include a kind of sport - so forums such as this, etc could be assessed quite readily in terms of potential, deficits, and things required to anchor the arena for long term security/dividends. This would include what kind of people would be resources, any tactics and themes that the person would be trying to make as the 'go to' idea in other's impressions of the place etc. The 'sport' would involve like a show, display, competition, rules, strange little insertions of interest like at American games when they have something come up on the screen with a little creature doing some activity - that type of interest for the attenders of the forum - so maybe not a creature but some kind of unusual character/display that is interjected with the aim to liven.

The people that this person would attract in this dynamic would be other useful sorts that can cover aspects and network aspects of the grand scheme of the 'show'. They would never get the full picture but be aware of others who are part of this kind of committee/focus group and generally there would be an air of sporting fun, with a few disgruntled ones mixed in. The difficulties of the dynamic that the person was constructing, would be:
- points of ethical/moral issues (and some others in the inner circle would at times be disgruntled to differences in moral stance/values)
- there could be an overzealous almost religious fanaticism sometimes (so I guess that's a personality effect)
- in some respects too, a type of corruption, ultimately the person with this aspect is trying to serve what they think is the greater good but they will stoop to corruption to achieve their objectives). And they can get petty and exacting when they feel things to be not working out as they would like, or as planned.
- so there would at times be a swing from pettiness/miserliness/and almost maleficence to an expansiveness/all encompassing/welcoming beneficence.

I've seen this play out very clearly soon after I met this person. About the religious fanaticism, I haven't seen this about him. If anything, he is very skeptical about religion, the overzealous fanaticism is presented in his entourage.

Retrograde Anubis: I can't highlight any extra distinction other than an internalised sensation like the person will naturally hide/keep internal the stuff to do with Anubis. So Anubis direct/generally, has a sly feel, and an almost malefic feel though perhaps it is more just an entity that doesn't live by human social rules - there is rules/laws but its more about maintaining an order, fulfilling quotas, and keeping on top of things though there is a degree of neuroticism. One of the chief characteristics is that he lies in wait, has a private amusement in waiting for others or situations to go awry so he can chuckle to himself 'oh dear... '. There is a kind of never ending work weary trait, but also there is an indolent feel - and as said, a kind of waiting for others to stuff up and when they do he'll come down on them like a tonne of bricks to make them feel really bad -like its one of the few pleasures in life - to intensify others feeling rueful due to problems occurring when they were a little too carefree. There is a type of resentment - dog overtones like 'its a dog eat dog world'. In some ways he's compassionate, he'll excuse the underdog to a certain extent but the underdog has to become his minion/or a fool. He doesn't seem to have any particular need for power or ambition though he will take action for his own benefit - and some kind of broader reason that's hard to pinpoint. He will often like calculations - would be good at some, not all, intelligence types of tests.

In most people, Anubis is modified by house and aspect and to some degree, its sign and ruler - and apparently, some kind of evolution of itself - but that's too big a concept for me to understand atm.

So, Anubis direct in the 12th, would be something to the effect of:

A bogged down feel. Ongoing, neverending issues or something of a work nature to deal with. It all seems too much hard work. Anubis would want to play and tease here rather than deal with certain stuff - the mucking around would be like a ruse or type of escape. Efforts would tend to be shoddy with many things. He's kind of stressed in this house because he feels the confinement and could really play up depending on what else is going on in the chart. Perhaps he could become a little unstable here as well - and become a bit crazy/loopy. He's popular here though.

Retrograde Anubis in the 12th: Tendency for withdrawal bordering on catatonia - it would predispose him to here voices and receive otherworldly impressions/illusions and delusions. He could develop psychosomatic skin, nail, and hair issues, and there would be some digestive troubles due to blocked ducts/secretion sites - more so the finer ones for enzymes etc. He would likely promote travel either in mind or body. But the effect on the personality, again is dependent on how integrated it is and that is usually to do with close aspects to the ASC, Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and then the other planets tend to change the focus of the characteristics etc.

Retrograde Anubis in Leo in the 12th: Leo provides a bit of an antidote to the retrograde and to the nature of the 12th. This total combo tends the individual to enjoy others seeing that they have religious observances or that they are very good with turning up on time, not shirking etc. They like to be seen/noticed/admired for doing good things, having good traits. Though they may not carry out the same activities behind the scenes, they are deeply spiritual and compassionate but it is very much internalised and not likely to be acted upon except for maximum effect for show or to top up the general other's view or applause of them.

Yes, I do tend to internalize feelings. This is only greatened by Mars in Libra. I like to keep things as harmonious as possible. Even when I argue, I like to keep things somewhat detached. I argue hard, but I don't like to make it personal because that would take away from the harmony. I'm assuming that rage would be something associated to an extent with Anubis.

I have a lot of ambition, and I hate manipulating people. I would never kick someone if/when they were down. My idea of compassion is nowhere close to helping people only to make them my "minions". Perhaps this is a manifestation of the retrograde.

I am very good at calculations and intelligence tests, however, and I don't live by social rules either; I prefer to make my own and live by those instead. This is heightened by my Aquarius Stellium.

I do get lazy often enough. I don't like to do anything I see as work but will do work for fun, if that makes sense. I like to do what I do for fun rather than for the sake of doing it. But I get things done pretty well when I need to.

The craziness attribute and/or neural problems seems to come up often. And it isn't too surprising. I haven't been diagnosed with anything yet. But I see myself as playing on the border. The good thing is that Anubis doesn't make any close aspects to any of my personal planets or angles, so it's not very well integrated at all. There are other features in my chart that foreshadow mental problems at some point in my life (seems like a stroke at the very least along with a syndrome of some sort). Hopefully, that isn't until I'm MUCH older.

Would you mind elaborating on otherworldly illusions?

The Leo portion makes a lot of sense. I do like to be admired for what I do. But who doesn't enjoy compliments?
