'''Weshati Bekati''' is the eighth decan of the main [[Egyptian decans|decanal stars]] of [[Egyptian astrology]]. The decan has its heliacal rise during the week of III Akhet 11-20 in the [[Egyptian calendar]]. Its name is translated as "the pregnant twins."

==History==
Weshati Bekati started as two separate decans (Weshati and Bekati) on the Middle Kingdom Period coffin lids. If each of the two stars represented an individual pregnant twin sister, it makes sense that they were later combined into a single decan.

The Twins of Atum are first mentioned in [[Pyramid Text]] Spell 215: “There is no god who has become a star who does not have a companion.” So companionship is to be found even among the decans, just as it is among the living. Lines 147-149 explain that the body of the deceased is reconstituted, reborn, through the Twins of Atum, starting with their eyes and ears, and finally all their body parts. The Twins of Atum tell the deceased, “Lift yourself up in your name as a god!”

The Dendera D [[zodiac]] ceiling depicts this decan as an anthropomorphic snake holding two ''nw''-jars. The Dendera D zodiac gives its mineral as turquoise.
