The Concept of the Ecliptic Line and the Vernal Equinox in the 21st CE

 Between Constellation Pisces♓️ & Aquarius♒️


♓️ Pisces

The fish symbol♓️, often referred to as the Ichthys (Greek: ἰχθύς), became a meaningful emblem of Christianity during times of persecution in the Roman Empire.

During periods of Roman persecution (2nd-4th centuries), Christians used the fish symbol as a discreet way to identify themselves and their faith. 

"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19, KJV)  


♒️ Aquarius

"And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house ...
And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"(Luke 22:10-13, KJV)

The passage highlights Jesus' preparation for the Passover and his disciples’ obedience in carrying out his instructions. Some have speculated that the "man bearing a pitcher of water" could be an allusion to the constellation Aquarius♒️.
However, this perspective is not supported by the traditional Christian teachings. Early Christian traditions were generally opposed to astrology, viewing reliance on the stars as incompatible with trusting God's sovereignty (see also, Isaiah 47:13-14).


#Concept

Ecliptic Line

The ecliptic is the apparent path that the Sun traces across the sky over the course of a year, as observed from Earth. It represents the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun and is essential in both astronomy and astrology.

Vernal Equinox

Vernal equinox is one of the two points where the ecliptic intersects the celestial equator. It occurs around March(3.20~22) and signifies the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Passover

The Passover (Pesach, פֶּסַח in Hebrew) is an important festival commemorating the liberation of Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Passover begins in the month of Nisan (first month of the Hebrew calendar, usually in March or April) and lasts for 7~8 days. The first Passover is thought to have originated around the Vernal equinox. In 2024, Passover began on the evening of April 22 and continue until the evening of April 30.
