I'm not going to bother cutting and pasting, or even trying to paraphrase.
In the Book of Revelation, one of the signs is a direct reference to known constellations; Virgo, the Virgin (about to give birth, no less) and Draco, the Dragon seeking to eat the child as soon as it is born.
I have read many bizarre interpretations, some from well over a thousand years ago up to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and even modern charlatan preachers seeking to sell books.
Also, which came first? The story of Herod/Satan and Jesus, and the escape to Egypt, or the Celestial story of Draco and the Pregnant Virgin who escapes to the mountain after giving birth?
Not the first time the stories in the Bible were modeled after the constellation/star stories. Remember Lucifer, and how he fell from the Heavens? It's the story of the cycles of the Planet Venus, the Bright and Morning Star.
