Bogus. Astrology is not supported in the Bible.
May be a “sign” but it’s not a great one.
In fact, most people won’t even notice it.
A “great sign” however would be impossible for anyone to miss.
Yeah.. I always look to “Gary” for spiritual stuff.
It does seem odd that the website hosting this article only lists the last name of one of the contributors. I’m not saying the information is necessarily bogus, but it’s hard to take people seriously when they won’t even own up to their own names.
September 24. My brother’s birthday. The 27th is my mother’s. Both have passed.
I’m going to have a hellofa birthday.
Here’s how I read the passage...the woman is the apostate Israel being redeemed prior to the White Throne judgement. The child is actually 144,000 pure sons of Israel, 12k from each tribe.
The article states, “The Hebrew and Greek words for “star” do not distinguish between stars as we know them today and planets.. ..planets were sometimes described in the ancient languages as “wandering”, but they were still called stars.”
I take issue with that statement because the Greeks referred to the planets, not as stars “wandering” (verb) but as “wanderers” (noun). They were distinct from stars. The word “planet” comes from the Greek word planatos, meaning wanderer.
Also, the illustration of Jupiter in the womb and then proceeding through the birth canal is backwards. Jupiter moves upward, toward the head, not downward. Also, it is on the left hip, not the womb.
furthermore, we do not know if the Great Red Spot existed at the time the original text was written. It was only first seen by Galileo.

If Jupiter is the King planet and represents Jesus. I found this that I think is interesting. If you go to the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day for July 11, 2016, you will see a beautiful image of Jupiter with stripes, red hole, and a crown. The King is Crowned, and it is beautiful.
What it means?
The birth of America
Revelation 12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
A great sign appeared in heaven
Genesis 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;
Let them be for signs and seasons
Now a great sign appeared in heaven
A woman clothed with the sun / Sun is in Virgo
With the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars
Here's an interesting fact, 12 men have had the moon under their feet, all of them Americans.
Side Note: Dragon's head and Dragon's tail are nodes of the moon.
There's a very enlightening book titled...
The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital
The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C.
David Ovason
In this book David Ovason describes the near obsession the designers of Washington D.C. had with the constellation Virgo. Note that the cornerstone ceremonies for the Capitol and the White House match the description in Revelation 12, cause and effect.
The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital
The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C.
David Ovason
Ovason, in his popular books, shows the recurrence of the sign Virgo, and symbols of Virgo, not just this five-petal flower, or pentagram, but Mercury, lord of the zodiac sign Virgo. In his view D.C. is a series of monuments to Hermetic Christianity; the Virgo/Pisces orientation of the city he believes invokes the Mary/Jesus apotheosis of the genders.
In the horoscope for April 21, 1791, the day the foundation stone for Washington D.C. was laid Jupiter was rising at 23 degrees Virgo. October 13, 1792, the day the stone for the White House was laid, the moon conjunct North node was at 23 degrees Virgo. Ovason writes: “On September 18th, 1793, when President George Washington in his role as Grand Master laid the foundation stone for the Capitol the Sun was in 24 degrees of Virgo, and thus reflected the Virgoan nature of the new city. When the cornerstone for the Washington Monument was laid July 4th, 1848, the moon went into Virgo; more importantly, the north node was at 25 Virgo.”
Why this degree of Virgo? “According to medieval Arab astrologers,” Ovason explains, “this degree had a particular importance: it marked that point in the zodiac where the Moon was thought to promote the greatest happiness and well-being. We must presume, then, that the intention behind the choice of moment was that this beneficial influence would be transmitted into Washington, D.C.” Ovason writes that on August 10, 1791 the three fixed stars Arcturus, Regulus and Spica rose at sunset, forming a celestial triangle that inspired the design of the city’s Federal Triangle.
Spica, from the Latin spīca virginis, “Virgo’s ear of grain,” has a history in Hermetic circles. In his Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Cornelius Agrippa connected Spica with Hermes Trismegistus. He also described a talisman with the image of a bird and a man carrying goods, which, according to Agrippa, “…conferreth riches, and maketh one overcome contentions, it taketh away scarcity and mischief.”
