'''Aryt''' is the 31st decan of the main [[Egyptian decans|decanal stars]] of [[Egyptian astrology]]. The decan has its heliacal rise during the week of III Shemu 1-10 in the [[Egyptian calendar]]. Its name is translated as "roll of papyrus."

==Name==
“The Thousands” may seem like a strange name for a decan, but it represents someone who has received respect and admiration from a large group of people. It may help to know that the astronomical identity of this decan is most likely the Pleiades, a cluster of just over 1,000 stars. Only about 14 of these stars can be seen by the naked eye, but the ancient Egyptians gave this decan a name which turned out to be incredibly accurate.

==Divination meaning==
[[The Egyptian Star Oracle]] connects this decan to writing or a person's legacy.

==Characteristics==
According to the Naos of the Decades, this decan has several functions, including causing skin rashes and carrying out the death sentences issued by Thoth-Shu across the four cardinal directions in foreign lands “among those on land and in the water.” In spell 474 of the Coffin Texts, the deceased, who is nearing the point of joining the gods, states, “See me, a living soul, who releases the willow. See, I have come with my guard-beam in my hand and my roll of papyrus in my hand. I have come that I may enter the stairs to heaven.”

Its minerals are listed on the Dendera D zodiac as granite and gold.

==Depiction as a Set-pig==

Doing so causes Horus' good eye to also become injured because Set had transformed himself into a pig and projected the wound.
