旬星 (英语:Decan , ;埃及语“bƫktw”或“baktiu”,“与工作有关的”)是古埃及天文学 中使用的36组恒星(小星座 ),用于方便地将360度黄道划分为36个部分,每个部分10度,既用于神通术 也用于偕日升 计时学 目的。在地球每天的自转过程中,每个旬星 都以地心说的管道在地平线上连续升起。每个旬星 的上升标志着古埃及 人夜晚新的小时 (希腊语“hōra”)的开始,至少从第九或第十王朝(公元前2100年左右)开始,它们就被用作恒星钟 。
埃及第十一王朝 晚期棺盖上的“对角星座”;发现于埃及艾斯尤特 。希尔德斯海姆罗默与佩利扎乌斯博物馆
因为每十天也会出现一个新的旬星 (也就是说,每十天,在太阳升起前的黎明时分,在一段时间被太阳的光线遮挡后,一组新的旬星 恒星群会在东方天空中重新出现),古希腊人称之为“decanoi”(δεκανοί; pl. of δεκανός“dekanos”)或“十分之一”。
根据星座的拟人化模式,旬星 让位于27或28个月球站 。

在印度,将黄道带划分为36个十度部分被称为drekkana (drekkāṇa)、dreshkana(drekkana)或drikana(dṛkā̇a)[ 15] 。
德雷卡纳斯(英语:drekkanas )的肖像和使用最早由舒吉迪瓦亚 在亚瓦纳贾塔卡 中提及(269–270 CE),伐罗诃密希罗 在他的布里哈特 · 萨希塔 中给予了详细的论述and(550 CE)。现代学者认为,旬星 是通过希腊人传入印度的,希腊人是从埃及人那里了解到它们的。
