For the record, I know nothing about astrology.
I love Astronomy!!!
I was even on the core team during the repair the Hubble Telescope while the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) which was installed during Servicing Mission 4 (STS-125) in May 2009.

Astronomy (from Greek: ἀστρονομία) is a natural science that studies celestial objects & phenomena. It applies mathematics, physics, & chemistry, in an effort to explain the origin of those objects & phenomena & their evolution. I love looking at the stars.

Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, galaxies, & comets; the phenomena include supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, & cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, all phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are w/in the purview of astronomy.

A related but distinct subject, physical cosmology, is concerned with the study of the Universe as a whole. Astronomy is one of the oldest of the natural sciences.

Let there be Light!

The early civilizations in recorded history, such as the Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Egyptians, Nubians, Iranians, Chinese, Maya, and many ancient indigenous peoples of the Americas performed methodical observations of the night sky.

Ancient civilizations referred to the celestial bodies as the Mazzaroth as there are 81 named constellations.

Mazzaroth is a Biblical Hebrew word (מַזָּרוֹת Mazzārōṯ, LXX Μαζουρωθ Mazourōth) found in Job 38:31-33 & literally meaning a garland of crowns but its context is that of astronomical constellations, & it is often interpreted as a term for the zodiac or the constellations thereof

The Mazzaroth (zodiac) is an area of the sky that extends approximately 8° N or S (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic
The apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of a year
The paths of the Moon & visible planets are also w/ in the belt

In Western astrology, & formerly astronomy, the zodiac is divided into 12 signs, each occupying 30° of celestial longitude & roughly corresponding to the constellations Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces

I've never understood people that based their lives around what they read out of the newspaper in the horoscope section.

"NASA broke the news in 2016 in a blog post that explained that when ancient Babylonians created the zodiac over 3,000 years ago"

Job 38:31-33
Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the belt of Orion?
Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season?
Or can you guide the Great Bear w/ its cubs?
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth?

The word zodiac comes from the Greek ζῳδιακός (zōidiakos), meaning the “circle of animals.” The Latin term zōdiacus was derived from the Greek, and the Greek term comes from the word ζῴδιον (zōdion), which is the diminutive of ζῷον (zōon), or animal.

The names & the meaning have changed throughout the yrs from the original names & meanings but the fact remains:
He determines the number of the stars;
He gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, & abundant in power;
His understanding is beyond measure.
Psalms 147:4-5

God of Creation
Before the beginning of time
W/ no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light
And as You speak
A 100 billion galaxies are born
In the vapor of Your breath the planets form
If the stars were made to worship

Chronology was a chief consideration in the study of astronomy among the Jews; sacred time was based upon the cycles of the Sun & the Moon. Scripture has identified the 12 constellations of the zodiac w/ the 12 months of the Hebrew calendar

#Mazzaroth #Zodiac

The heavens declare the glory of God, & the sky above proclaims His handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech, & night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.
Psalm 19:1-6

Their voice goes out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom leaving His chamber, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.

Revelation 12
1 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.

During the Feast of Trumpets 9/23-24/2017 in Jerusalem, Israel on Jubilee 5777 prophecy was fulfilled through the “GREAT SIGN” of Revelation 12:1&2
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.

The Leo (Lion) representing 1 of 12 Tribes of Israel (Judah) & the lineage of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob rose above the Virgo representing the blessed Virgin Mary who was clothed in the sun, w/ the moon under her feet & a crown of 12 stars (Leo with 9 Stars, Mercury, Venus & Mars)

Virgo gave birth to the representation of the King (Jupiter is the king planet after almost 10 months of retrograding in the belly of Virgo) Yeshua Hamashiach, the descendant of the Tribe of Judah as prophesied to be born of a Virgin, born in Bethlehem...

... who was crucified on a cross, died & rose again for the atonement of sins of the world & became the perpetuation of our sins through His shed blood. His name is Jesus. King of Kings & Lord of Lords. The heavens declared the fact that Jesus is who He said He is as prophesied.

In the meantime, we had Hurricane Jose & Maria both Spanish derivatives for Mary & Joseph performing the “Fujiwara Effect” which is the Japanese word for dance.
