The term Horus, the celestial bull , was used in Egyptian mythology and astronomy to describe the planet Saturn , which was also the "living star" of Horus .
Most of the time, Mars was traditionally referred to as the “Star of Horus”, but this can be ruled out due to the mythology and the planetary chapter in the Nutbuch .
