Astromercial Break: NightFlix in November/December Skies.

"As Above So Below"

.IMHO! of course :)

 

 Birth of the Sun in the current morning sky and the inspiration to the Author of Revelation of the Constellation's of Virgo, Ophiuchus, Aquila Orion and Sirius journey in the November/December sky,  playing out the birth of the Sun at Christmas or the Winter Solstice. 

Prior to this scene, Orion had risen with it's three belt stars "seeing his star in the East", i.e. the very bright star Sirius to their East and stayed with it as it went West.  These three stars went down together with Sirius and thus were said to have lost sight of Sirius and had to inquire as to where it went? 

Higher Ups Know...

The birth stories of Jesus are constructed around these phenomenon at the Winter Solstice ( Sol=sun, stice=stand still) which it appears to do the three days prior to Christmas day when it begins to move from SE to East again taking away the darkness of the world which culminates at Easter when the days and nights are equal again at the Spring Equinox.  Here to Sun gets cross-ified at the intersection of the Ecliptic and the Celestial Equator  (Whole other story)

 

On to Revelation...

12 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.

The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”[a] And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days....

13 When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach. 

Looking Southeast in winter, just as it rises this morning.  Here one will have seen Serpens, right of Virgo the Virgin, as it rose earlier and casting down a third of the stars, with daylight.   This now defined same serpent in the story then appears to the right, waiting to devour the child of the woman  (the Virgin represents Judaism and not the Church. Revelation is a Jewish Christian Book.  

INTERESTING NOTE:  In starlore BOTH Serpens and the serpent in Ophiuchus are called "Caput and Cauda" or Head and tale and considered ONE serpent, broken in two,  that together cover 1/3 of the night sky and their stars.

2.The Serpent   front of the woman to devour the child

3. The Sun is birthed and rises to "Heaven"  or eventually Noon to become "The Most High"

4. Aquila the Eagle that takes the Woman to her place for protection from the Serpent

This path of the rising of the Sun is from lower left to upper right

1After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east  (sunrise) arrived in Jerusalem. (at sunset) 2  Asking, "Where is the one who has been born King of the Jews? We saw his star in the East (at sunrise) and have come to worship him. ,  3When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.  

This idea of seeing something in the East and not going East to see what it was is solved by the fact that this is a East to West sky story. Only in the movement of the Constellations from East to West would characters see something in the East and go West to find it.  This only would occur with the "rise" of constellations due to the rotation of the Earth East towards the Sun and setting in the West 

Here, the three stars in the belt of Orion (1)and Sirius (2) having already risen before the previous scene of the birth of Jesus, sees his star, Sirius, rising in the East and then follow it west only to lose sight of it when they all go down in the West. 

Note: Forgive it seems a repeat post along the way. Starlore as the origins of our literal Biblical stories simply explain a lot of where such fantastical stories come from in reality and how the human mind works in its search for meaning and where it looks for it.
