You do realize that what you describe is all actually Greco-Roman pagan astrology? Now, the stars in the Heavens can reveal the glory of God (Matthew 1, Romans 1, etc.), but the specific constellations to which you refer are based on pagan religion (Virgo, Leo, Pisces). I don’t even *necessarily* have a problem with the notion that God might have used pagan astrology to reveal Himself to the pagans... but to dismiss biblical/Hebraic sources in favor of pagan astrology? No thanks. We Catholics (believe it or not) stick to the bible for our theology, instead of gnosis such as pagan astrology. (That’s what “Catholic” meant: “universal,” referring to the universality of revelation, as opposed to hidden meanings in constellations, numerology, eschatology, etc.) Whereas we believe Revelation is also preserved in Divine Tradition such as the Liturgy, every doctrine is reflected as well in the Scripture. (While “Private” revelation such as at appearance of Christ or Mary are respected and honored, no Catholic is required to uphold any belief in any private revelation.)

The wisemen saw His star..

They were looking for a sign..in His sky. Astronomers not astrologers. Big difference.

Which is what Genesis 1:14says He has those dots in His sky are up there for.
Signs, appointed times (translated as seasons), days and years..

It is the opposite of greco roman pagan astrology.

That is satan’s tool.

Just like Satan has a counterfeit Mary and counterfeit Jesus that the fake Mary points to in her ‘How to pray the rosary’15 promises and instruction book handed out to me when a nice catholic gave me a set of rosary beads.

It was thanks to that instruction booklet that I tested against His Word that I realized everything taught by Rome was a counterfeit because that Mary lied in her first promise for praying the rosary.
And no liar points to truth.
And that liar pointed to Jesus in promise 14.

So what about Jesus did I share with that liar?

The name, December 25, good Friday and easter Sunday..

And amazingly , He led me to test each and every part of that and His Word had an answer of genuine Truth that proved all of Rome’s basics (shared with darn near every Protestant by the way) was counterfeit..

Another Jesus, another gospel, another Mary..
Counterfeits created by Rome.
As a vessel for the enemy.

That is why today isn’t just a Roman holy day. It is a Christian holy day..

I am no longer a christian..but I have become even more of a Protestant.. I met Him as the Roman Jesus and He didn’t let me stay there.

And He didn’t let me hang out in Judaism or Hebrew roots, either.

Completely free..

And it was found in His Word. In His Creation.
And it blows Rome’s story out of the water..

The Word became flesh.. Literally..

And Rome has been a vessel to counterfeit His Truth.
And I never would have seen it if a nice catholic hadnt handed me a rosary bead and instruction booklet that quotes Mary..

I was a protestant who saw no difference with Catholics..then with that booklet, lots of differences.
Now, I am back to that opinion but for all the wrong reasons because of where He led me..

Out of Babylon.

And it is something that I never thought I was in three years ago as a presbyterian..

Roman Catholic church knows Torahs templatr. That is why January 1st is the feast of circumcison , a holy day.

And why February 2nd is the presentation /dedication.

That fits the template.

But not the actual days..
Which is why a counterfeit can only be seen if one studies the genuine..

It is why cashiers hold money up to the light. It is only tested with the Light does one see a phony and counterfeit..
