Khentu Kheru is the 27th decan of the main decanal stars of Egyptian astrology. The decan has its heliacal rise during the week of I Shemu 21-30 in the Egyptian calendar. Its name is translated as "lower Khentu."
Divination meaning
The Egyptian Star Oracle connects this decan with authority and power. This is similar to the authority found on the Emperor card in the Tarot. It is a ruler who is secure in his position with no remaining challengers to be found.
Characteristics
In ritual work, Khentu Kheru can be used to deal with stomach issues and sickness in general. Both the Naos of Decades and the Cairo Calendar mark this decan's week as a time for stomach problems and vomiting.
The Dendera B zodiac ceiling depicts this decan as a nude youth sitting upon a lotus flower, holding his hand to his mouth. Esna includes a flagellum. If it were not for the flagellum, the modern audience would be forgiven for mistaking this for an illustration of the Buddha, who is often shown with a lotus flower. When the god Horus was depicted in this form, it was called Harsomtus, meaning Horus, Uniter of the Two Egypts. As an allegory for the creation of Egypt, Horus is being birthed from the lotus flower, which is why he is young and nude.
The Dendera D ceiling gives its minerals as jasper and gold.
