Concerning the Zodiac that was presented and their basic meanings, much more can be studied about each sign given. As I said earlier, Joseph Seiss in his book 'Gospel In The Stars does a very good job. And I would encourage every one to study each one further. Of course we always keep in mind that this is ancient revelation from God, and very general and basic. We now have the very special revelation from God, the Bible, which far exceeds the Zodiac.
So, astrology is rejected as condemned by God. But the origin of the Zodiac is from God and can be studied in that light. We have already seen that declared in (Job 38:31-33). "...Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season...." The answer is no, you can't. Only God can accomplish those steps of salvation described in the Zodiac.
Another reference in (Job) is (Job 26:13). "By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent." The garnishing the heavens would refer to the Zodiac and the crooked serpent to Hydra, the decan constellation under Leo, which showed the triumph of Redeemer over the devil.
One might ask, if this Zodiac is truly from God, how could it be lost for so long a time to the people of God? Well, the people of God are known to lose that which is given them from God. Look at how the Jews had discarded their own Scriptures so long that they no longer knew what was in them. (2 Chron. 34:8-33)
As said earlier, this helps explain why there are some similarities in many pagan religions to the Christian faith. It is not that Christianity has copied them. It is because paganism has built it's false religion using many of the truths found in the Zodiac revelation from God. The Christian faith, however, is in agreement with and enhances and declares the truths found in that original revelation from God.
And, this is why the Magi, those wise men of the east, Gentiles from far away, somehow knew to observe and follow some starry sign in the heaven to where the Redeemer would be born. They were going by the primitive revelation that was passed down to them. Even in their pagan world, there were strands of truth still visible.
