Gospel Zodiac

The Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the = Sun,
in=20 which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, =
and pay=20 him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun.
-Thomas = Paine

If Jesus was an historical character, he was one of a number of = cultists who=20 at that time were preaching Armageddon. The spin meisters who wrote the = Gospels=20 had no information on him except what grew to legendary proportions = after=20 several decades of oral story telling. The man, if he existed, was a = nobody.=20 It's what was written about him, combined with the brutal efforts of = Church=20 fabricators that made him so famous.

Fortunately, centuries of Christian book burning cannot erase the = stars. By=20 looking at the Gospels through the eyes of an astrologer, we can = understand why=20 the Gospels follow the same story outline. The tale of Jesus takes place = within=20 one Zodiac year. By breaking down the Gospels according to each of the = twelve=20 Zodiac constellations, we can track Jesus as the sun through references = to each=20 motif that the constellations correspond to.

Astrological timetables are enumerated into twelve ages based on a = great=20 cycle spanning almost 26,000 years. The age of Pisces began around 6 = BCE, which=20 is why the latter parts of the Gospels refer often to fish. = Approximately in=20 2012 we enter the Age of Aquarius.

Ahead of them, = went the=20 star that they had seen at its rising (Matt. 2:10).
If the magi were on land, they couldn't come from the east and = follow a=20 star from the east. But if both are in the sky, it makes sense.

Pagan Parallels

The breakdown of the Gospels into twelve zodiacal motifs is not a=20 coincidence. It was the way myths were written in biblical days. To make = my=20 point, there is a popular myth called "The Twelve Labors of Hercules". = It serves=20 to show how these ancient stories were patterned after the astrological = patterns=20 of the stars. Watch how the sun, personified as Hercules, goes through = each of=20 his twelve labors.

1. In Leo, Hercules first labor was to slay the Nermean lion. After = killing=20 the lion, the hero flayed the beast and used its skin as a shield. The = leonine=20 skin may be compared to the brownish clouds trailed by the sun in = fighting its=20 way through the atmospheric vapors, which are eventually conquered. The=20 constellation, Orion, is often depicted with Orion holding up an animal = skin as=20 a shield.

2. When the sun entered Virgo, the constellation of Hydra was = setting, and,=20 thus, the second labor of Hercules was to kill the Lernean Hydra. The = monster=20 had several head, one being immortal, and as he raised them to attack = Hercules,=20 the hero burned off the mortal heads and buried the immortal one under a = stone.=20 The heads are allegorized as the clouds being burned up by the suns = rays.

3. When the sun enters Libra, the constellation of the Centaur rose = above the=20 horizon, so Hercules in hit third labor was entertained by a centaur and = soon=20 afterwards he slew a group of centaurs in a fight over a cask of wine. = In Libra,=20 there is a star group called the Boar appearing in the evening sky. So = after=20 killing the centaurs, Hercules met the Erymanthian boar and engaged him = in=20 mortal combat.

4. As the sun moved into Scorpio, Cassiopeia, more anciently known as = the=20 Stag, Rose into view, and the fourth labor was the capture of a stag = with golden=20 horns and brazen feet.

5. As the sun passed into Sagittarius, three constellations named = after birds=20 followed, and these were the Vulture, the Swan and the Eagle. In his = fifth=20 labor, Hercules killed the three birds with arrows.

6. The constellation of Capricorn was also called the Stable of = Augeas, and=20 the sixth labor was the cleaning out of the Augean Stable. This is why, = when=20 Jesus was born in Capricorn, he is depicted as being born in a manger. =

7. While the sun was in Aquarius, the Lyre, or celestial Vulture, = proceeded=20 to set. Prometheus at the time was also setting, while the Bull of = Europa was on=20 the meridian. In his seventh labor, Hercules slew the vulture which had = preyed=20 on the live of Prometheus and captured a wild bull engaged in laying = waste the=20 island of Crete.

8. While the sun was going through Pisces, Pegasus the celestial = horse, rose=20 in the east, so for his eighth labor, Hercules escaped with the horses = of=20 Diomede.

9. As the sun enters Aries (the Ram of the Golden Fleece), the ship = Argo was=20 rising in the evening sky and Andromeda was setting. On of the stars of=20 Andromeda was called her girdle. In his ninth labor, Hercules sailed in = the ship=20 Argo in search of the Golden Fleece; he also fought the Amazons and = captured the=20 girdle of Hippolyte, their queen, and then rescued Hesione from a sea = monster.=20 The constellation Argo, by the way, makes its appearance in the Bible as = Noah's=20 ark.

10. As the sun passed into the Bull, the Pleiades rose and Orion set, = and for=20 his tenth labor, Hercules labor was to restore the seven kidnapped = Pleiades=20 sisters to their father after killing their abductor, King Busiris = (Orion). Then=20 our hero traveled to Spain and appropriated the oxen of Geryon.

11. When the sun entered Gemini, Sirius (the Dog Star) was rising, = and for=20 his eleventh labor Hercules overcame Cerberus, the guardian dog of = Hades. In the=20 Bible, Sirius is recognized as the star of Bethlehem; it is the = brightest star=20 next to the sun. Orion has three stars at its belt that point that = follow Sirius=20 as the three wise men.

12. As the sun entered the constellation Cancer, the River and the = Centaur=20 were setting in the western sky. The constellation Hercules also = descended=20 toward the west followed by Draco (the Dragon of the North Pole) a = guardian of=20 the Golden Apples of the Hesperides. In the star atlases Hercules had = been=20 pictured as crushing the head of the dragon with one of his feet. = Genesis 3:15=20 doesn't makes sense until you see Hercules' foot on top of the serpent's = head.=20

¹⁵I will put enmity = between you and=20 the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your = head, and=20 you shall bruise his heel." (Gen. 3:15)

In the twelfth and final labor, Hercules journeys to the Hesperides = in quest=20 of the Golden Apples of that region. Afterwards he donned a robe, which = was=20 soaked in the blood of a centaur slain by him at the rive crossing. The = robe=20 mysteriously caught fire, and Hercules perished in the flames.

This death ended his mortal career, but later on he resumed his youth = in=20 Heaven, and there became immortal. His death scene can be compared to = the=20 description of a beautiful sunset.

Final thought

It would be more accurate to think of Jesus as the sun of God rather = than the=20 son of God.
