旬星 (英語:Decan , ;埃及語「bƫktw」或「baktiu」,「與工作有關的」)是古埃及天文學 中使用的36組恆星(小星座 ),用於方便地將360度黃道劃分為36個部分,每個部分10度,既用於神通術 也用於偕日升 計時學 目的。在地球每天的自轉過程中,每個旬星 都以地心說的管道在地平線上連續升起。每個旬星 的上升標誌著古埃及 人夜晚新的小時 (希臘語「hōra」)的開始,至少從第九或第十王朝(西元前2100年左右)開始,它們就被用作恆星鐘 。
埃及第十一王朝 晚期棺蓋上的「對角星座」;發現於埃及艾斯尤特 。希爾德斯海姆羅默與佩利紮烏斯博物館
因為每十天也會出現一個新的旬星 (也就是說,每十天,在太陽升起前的黎明時分,在一段時間被太陽的光線遮擋後,一組新的旬星 恆星群會在東方天空中重新出現),古希臘人稱之為「decanoi」(δεκανοί; pl. of δεκανός「dekanos」)或「十分之一」。
根據星座的擬人化模式,旬星 讓位於27或28個月球站 。

在印度,將黃道帶劃分為36個十度部分被稱為drekkana (drekkāṇa)、dreshkana(drekkana)或drikana(dṛkā̇a)[ 15] 。
德雷卡納斯(英語:drekkanas )的肖像和使用最早由舒吉迪瓦亞 在亞瓦納賈塔卡 中提及(269–270 CE),伐羅訶密希羅 在他的布里哈特 · 薩希塔 中給予了詳細的論述and(550 CE)。現代學者認為,旬星 是通過希臘人傳入印度的,希臘人是從埃及人那裡瞭解到它們的。
