Cassiopeia

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.

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.
