“a ‘man carrying a pitcher of water’(Aquarius?) ...too much of a stretch.”!!!! Folks living in cities and towns in the Roman era often had to fetch clean water from local wells or aquaducts and bring”such pitchers” to their houses. Christ via the Holy Spirit had already set things in motion with the owner of the house to have things ready when his disciples approached to “make ready” for the rest of them. Christ was showing his ability to act independently and providentially from his disciples in ways they could not even have imagined.
As for Aquarius...Ovid had this to say...”The king of the gods was once fired with love for Phrygian Ganymede, and when that happened Jupiter found another shape preferable to his own. Wishing to turn himself into a bird, he none the less scorned to change into any save that which can carry his thunderbolts. Then without delay, beating the air on borrowed pinions, he snatched away the shepherd of Ilium, who even now mixes the winecups, and supplies Jove with nectar, to the annoyance of Juno” (Metamorphoses X 154-160). The story has strong homoerotic overtones...hence “the annoyance of Juno”
Aquarius is also a summer constellation...not one too notable in the skies of the Northern Hemisphere in the March to late April time period when Christ is thought to have been crucified and resurrected.

Mdmathis,
I didn’t mention noticeable. I mentioned when it would be above the heads of us at His Feasts. The sun is traveling through particular constellations during the year- what constellation the sun travels through at His Feasts tell the story of the bible.
The sign above our heads at Passover today, mdmathis, is ‘2 Fish’.
A couple thousand years ago it was what some would call
‘the Ram’- an adult lamb.
And there is a time that’s in the future when the man carrying the jar of water will be above our heads at Passover time.
Those won’t mean much to anyone who hasn’t read the bible but a bible reader would find that interesting.
The man carrying a jar water isn’t at Passover yet. Neither is the Lion above our heads at His Fall Feasts yet.(the woman is still above our heads at that time)
But when the 2 fish gets replaced at Passover with the man carrying the pitcher of water, the Lion will appear above our heads at His Fall Feasts.
It’s coming.
Like I said, His plan is up there.at His Feasts.
