The sign of Scorpio
represents a huge scorpion. It is trying to sting the heel
of a mighty man,
Ophiuchus. While he is wrestling with a great snake,
Serpens, the scorpion is being crushed
by the other foot. God continues His story in the heavens
of predicted the coming of Christ, who
was to bruise the serpent's head while He Himself is
bruised in the heel. (Genesis 3:15)
Quoting from 'God's Voice in the Stars', "The sign of Virgo
pointed to Him as the promised
Seed of the woman. The sign of Libra showed the price He
would pay to secure man's
redemption. Now this sign of Scorpio shows the conflict He
would have to endure."
Scorpio, meaning
"the enemy
wounding Him",
or "the
mortal conflict",
is one of the most visible signs in the zodiac.
Here the strife, we briefly touched on in Libra, is
dramatically revealed in Scorpio.
The bright star Antares, meaning "the wounding"
and Lesath, meaning
"the perverse"
are rightfully named because
of their purpose to
destroy the seed of the woman as mentioned in Virgo.
Looking to the head of
Ophiucus the theme of this entire conflict continues
with the star in his head Rasalhagus meaning
"the head of
Him who holds"
and Siaf, in his foot, means "bruised."
Unuk, the brightest star in
Serpens means "encompassing"
while Cheleb in the head of Serpens means
"the serpent
enfolding."
How clear is the depiction
of the struggle between Ophiucus,
the mighty one, or Christ, and Serpen, the
devil.
Also, within each "sign",
there are three symbols called "decans".
In Scorpio, the one we did not mention is Hercules.
Hercules means "the strong one"
or "mighty
one."
I would again recommend Kenneth C. Fleming's book, "God's
Voice in the Stars"
for additional study and clarification.
The prophecies mention in
Genesis 3:15, Psalm 91:13, and Isaiah 53,
accounting of the conflict, are being fulfilled before our
eyes.
So is it any wonder why satan has attempted to pervert the
"true" meanings of the stars over the millennia.
