Her · Hercules
Hercules
The Kneeler — Suffering VictorThe Kneeler is an image of the Messiah, who through suffering strikes the ancient Serpent and gains victory. The ancient Greeks did not yet call this figure Hercules: Eudoxus and Aratus knew it as the mysterious Man kneeling, with His foot on the head of the Dragon. Beside Him shines the Northern Crown — the Crown, which wonderfully combines in one heavenly picture the most ancient prophecy of Gen. 3:15, the sufferings of the Messiah, and the subsequent victory: the Serpent strikes His heel, but the Seed of the woman crushes the Serpent's head, and after suffering comes the crown of life.

Cyg · Swan
Swan
Saving CrossCygnus is read as the Northern Cross. It is located next to the Kneeler — the image of the suffering Christ, who strikes the ancient serpent in the head. Between the Kneeler and the Cross lies Lyra with the star Vega — the image of fallen angels. The Son of God went to the Cross to destroy the works of the devil, redeem mankind, and open to them the way to eternity.

And · Andromeda
Andromeda
The Church-Bride, raptured to the BridegroomAndromeda is located between Pisces—the image of God's people—and Cassiopeia, which depicts the Church as the enthroned Wife of the Lamb. It shows the transition of the Church from Bride to Wife after the rapture and the marriage feast.

Gem · Twins
Twins
Suffering Savior and enthroned JudgeGemini depicts not two gods, but two inseparable images of the one Christ: the suffering Lamb and the victorious King. The One who was wounded for the salvation of mankind returns as Ruler and Judge.

Peg · Pegasus
Pegasus
Blessing of AbrahamPegasus symbolizes God's blessing given to Abraham and Israel and extended through Christ to all nations. It lies directly next to Aquarius and Pisces, with one of the Fishes near the Great Square of Pegasus. The most ancient Babylonian image of this square was IKU, 'Field', and among the old Arabic star names of Pegasus there is an unusually large number with the root saʿd — 'happiness, prosperity, fortune': 'fortunate rain', 'happiness of the high-spirited', 'fortune of the surpassing one', 'fortune of young livestock'. A complete picture emerges: God pours water upon His Field and His people, and it is filled with blessing. Through Christ, the blessing of Abraham comes to the Gentiles together with the promised Spirit.

Cru · Southern Cross
Southern Cross
Cross of RedemptionThe Southern Cross is the southern counterpart of the Northern Cross, which is read in the constellation Cygnus. If Cygnus shows the Cross in the northern book of the sky, then the Southern Cross repeats the same revelation for the peoples of the Southern Hemisphere. The entire sky testifies that the path of salvation passes through the Cross of Christ.

Cep · Cepheus
Cepheus
Enthroned Christ — King and ShepherdCepheus depicts the Lord Jesus Christ as the enthroned King. He is crowned with a crown, holds a royal scepter, and is placed next to the Little Flock. The names of his stars speak of the Shepherd, the flock of sheep, and the right hand — the place of authority and royal power.

Sco · Scorpion
Scorpion
Sting of SinScorpius depicts Satan and fallen spiritual forces as the source of sin and death that struck mankind. This is one of the most ancient constellations: already in Mesopotamia it was called GÍR.TAB — Scorpion. Its raised tail ends in two stars of the ancient 'sting'; the name Shaula directly means 'sting of the Scorpion'. Thus the heavenly picture corresponds to the words of Scripture: 'the sting of death is sin'. Through the ancient serpent, sin entered Eden, and through sin, death. But nearby appears Sagittarius — Christ, who came to strike the power of Scorpius and free man from the enemy's power.

Ari · Ram
Ram
God's Lamb, liberating His peopleThe Lamb depicts the first coming of Jesus Christ. It is located between the Fishes — God's people — and the Whale, the image of death and hostile power. Therefore the Lamb shows Christ, who by His sacrifice liberates those who belong to Him from the power of sin, death, and the devil. Nearby is the Bull: the Lamb is Christ come to save; the Bull is Christ returning to judge.

CVn · Hunting Dogs
Hunting Dogs
Shepherd's RodThe modern Hunting Dogs are a late constellation; these stars originally did not form two dogs. They lie between Boötes — the Shepherd — and the Great Bear — God's flock, so their natural meaning in the overall heavenly picture is the Shepherd's Rod, the instrument of authority by which the Shepherd leads, gathers, and protects his flock. The Hunting Dogs appeared on European charts only in modern times, whereas the earlier tradition linked this area with the staff or crook of Boötes. The biblical image is entirely apt: Christ is the Shepherd, the Church is His flock, and His rod and staff signify His authority, guidance, and protection.

PsA · Southern Fish
Southern Fish
Refreshed people of GodThe Southern Fish depicts the people of God receiving the water of life from God. It lies directly under Aquarius, and the ancient celestial Stream ends exactly in its open mouth — in the bright star Fomalhaut, whose Arabic name literally means 'mouth of the Fish'. Therefore the Southern Fish is close in meaning to the constellation Pisces, but does not merely repeat it: Pisces shows two peoples of God — Israel and the Church — bound together, whereas the Southern Fish shows the people of God as one whole, directly receiving the living water poured out by God — His life and Spirit.

Oph · Serpent Bearer
Serpent Bearer
Shepherd-VictorOphiuchus is the image of Christ, the Good Shepherd, who came to conquer the power of the ancient serpent. On the star chart, the Man holds the Serpent with both hands, not allowing it to act freely, and His feet stand over Scorpius — the image of the devil; directly next to Him is Sagittarius — Christ who came to earth. The ancient Arabic tradition also preserves a pastoral image here: Tselbalrai means 'shepherd's dog', and Ras Alhag was part of the same heavenly shepherd composition. Thus Ophiuchus shows Christ as the Shepherd who came for His flock and simultaneously entered into battle with the ancient serpent, depriving him of his power over man.

Aqr · Water Bearer
Water Bearer
Giver of the water of lifeThe constellation Aquarius depicts Christ pouring out the water of life upon God's people. Already the most ancient Mesopotamian figure of this region was called GU.LA — 'Great' — and was depicted as a mighty Man from whom streams of water issue, sometimes with fish within them. On the star chart, Aquarius's stream is directed toward the Fish: it enters directly into the mouth of the Southern Fish, and nearby are the two Fishes — Israel and the Church. Christ gives the water of life freely to the thirsty; Scripture directly explains this image as the action of the Holy Spirit, who grants man new and eternal life.

Lib · Scales
Scales
Broken orderThe Scales show God's measure and righteous order, which fallen man no longer meets. Nearby is Scorpius—the image of sin and rebellion that broke this order. Moreover, the main stars of the Scales were anciently also called the claws of Scorpius. Therefore the Scales and Scorpius together show: God's measure exists, but sin has disrupted the order established by God.

Cas · Cassiopeia
Cassiopeia
Church — Wife of the LambCassiopeia depicts the Church of God after the marriage feast. If the Pleiades are an image of the Church-Bride on earth, then Cassiopeia shows her future — the Wife of the Lamb, sharing in Christ's reign.

Sge · Arrow
Arrow
God's arrow of judgmentThe Arrow is God's weapon directed against fallen angels. It lies directly next to Aquila — the image of fallen spirits, the 'falling eagle', to which also belongs the ancient name of Vega, an-nasr al-wāqi‘ — 'the falling eagle'. Therefore the meaning of the Arrow is extremely clear: God will not leave the rebellious spirits unjudged — His weapon is already aimed against them, and their defeat is inevitable.

Crv · Crow
Crow
Final JudgmentThe constellation of the Crow depicts the execution of God's sentence upon the ancient serpent. The Crow is on the back of Hydra and tears at it next to the Cup of God's wrath. Together, the Lion, Hydra, Cup, and Crow form a picture of God's ultimate victory over evil.

Eri · Eridanus
Eridanus
Fiery river of God's judgmentThe constellation Eridanus depicts the river of God's judgment directed against the rebellious spiritual powers and the kingdom of death. The image itself is very ancient: in Greco-Roman astronomy it is simply the River, winding in a long line across the southern sky. Its beginning lies directly near the foot of Orion-Kesil — the image of the bound Watchers awaiting judgment. Ptolemy literally describes the first star of the River as being after the star in Orion's foot, 'at the beginning of the river'. Nearby, above Eridanus, lies Cetus — the sea monster representing the power of death and forces hostile to God. Thus in the biblical picture, the celestial River becomes an image of the fiery stream of God's judgment, like the one Daniel saw issuing from God's throne.

Tau · Bull
Bull
Coming JudgeThe constellation Taurus depicts Jesus Christ at His Second Coming — the King and Judge of the universe. The Lamb and the Bull show two sides of the ministry of the one Son of God: first Christ comes as the Lamb to offer Himself as a sacrifice for sin, then He returns as the mighty King to judge the earth. The ancient Mesopotamian name of Taurus was GU₄.AN.NA, 'Heavenly Bull'. Inside its figure are the Pleiades — Chimah, the seven stars of the Church of God; before its face are the Hyades. Thus the picture corresponds to Christ's words: at His coming, all nations will be gathered before Him, and the final separation of the righteous and the wicked will take place.

Boo · Boötes
Boötes
Shepherd and Guardian of God's FlockBoötes is located next to the Great Bear—the image of God's Church—and depicts the One who shepherds, keeps, and leads God's flock. The names of its stars speak of the Guardian of the heavens, a worker in the vineyard, a belt of strength, and a shepherd's staff. This is an image of the Holy Spirit, who builds the Church, guards it, and reminds it of Jesus Christ.

Aur · Charioteer
Charioteer
Lord of Creation — Good ShepherdThe Charioteer depicts Jesus Christ as the Creator and Good Shepherd. The ancient figure GAM meant a shepherd's staff, and the star El Nath, shared with Taurus, connects the image of the Shepherd with the image of the coming King and Judge.

Hya · Water Snake
Water Snake
Satan under judgmentHydra is the image of Satan and fallen angels over whom God's judgment is executed. The most ancient Mesopotamian image of this region was MUŠ, a huge serpent-dragon, and already on ancient Babylonian depictions the Lion is above it, trampling the Serpent, while the Crow stands on its tail and pecks at it. In the classical celestial composition, the Cup and the Crow are also directly on Hydra's back, and the Lion is above its head. A unified picture of the enemy's final defeat emerges: the Lion crushes the ancient Serpent, the Cup of God's wrath is over it, and the Crow participates in the destruction of its body.
