The goat always has the body of a fish in Zodiac signs from the east and Egypt.
The third decan in Persian is depicted as a fish in a stream of water
We will pick up on the imagery of the water and the fish when we deal with the constellations of Aquarius and Pisces.
As we saw in last week’s look at Sagittarius, the Lord’s prime method of dealing with the enemy of our souls (satan) is to defeat him by sacrifice. So often all of these figures representative of God are mortally wounded or brought down, including the eagle. It is highly significant that in this constellation and its associated decans and stars that there is a star named “wounded in the heel”. Yes God will be wounded in the heel but will crush the head of the serpent (satan).
And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.
Genesis 3:15
The Gospel in the stars faithfully depicts the theme of the Bible throughout in languages and earthly kingdoms which surprisingly follow the Bible’s lead, for example in Arabic. This biblical theme is consistent across multiple ancient languages even down to the biblical repetition on important themes.
Next week we will investigate Aquarius followed by Pisces and then Aries. Do you see the water and sacrifice thread running through the message in stars?
