Fun Question for Astrologists - What Sun Sign was Jesus? Overwhelming evidence says he wasn't born on 25 Dec.

Question

Some say end March/start April, others claim end Sept/start Oct. Look at the way he lived his life - compassionate, helped the poor, and healed the sick, champion of the oppressed, defended the victims of injustice, threw out the moneylenders in the temple because they were defiling a holy place. Traits of Aries or Libra? Or could he possibly have been a Capricorn?

We know about Dec 25 and all the pagan origins. That's not the question. Oh, for zeroartma, I discoverd from my research that the sheep used for sacrifice in the temple at Jerusalem were kept in the fields at night ALL YEAR ROUND. Bethlehem is only 5 miles south of Jerusalem so the story about the shepherds in the fields at night applies. Fireball - Libra is an air sign, I believe.

Answer 1

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deuteronomy (18:10,11) King James version.

Astrology, channeling, Ouija boards, predicting the future, and much else is forbidden. The author of Deuteronomy does not argue that such practices fail to deliver what they promise. But they are "abominations" - perhaps suitable for other nations, but not for the followers of God

Answer 2

Christmas is nothing to do with either Christianity or Islam but it does have it's origins in the midwinter festival and many other basically pagan rites but since much of it is a celebration of nature rather than religion everyone should be able to enjoy it and be happy together despite religion! The ancient European pagans celebrated the midwinter festival and a number of other festivals long before Christianity ever existed! Babylonians celebrated the feast of the Son of Isis with gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift giving and the goddess of fertility, love, and war. The Romans held a festival on 25 December called “Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, celebrating their own god Sol Invictas – PAGAN! The Persian god Mithras, the Syrian sun god Elah Gabal, the German Sol, the Greek Helios and the Mesopotamian Shamash. But also Saturnalia, honouring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. The law courts and schools were closed. No public business could be transacted an this is where the holidays originated - ALL PAGAN! Wax tapers were given by the more humble to their superiors. The origin of the Christmas candle - PAGAN! In Rome groups of costumed went from house to house entertaining their people. And this was where the carolling Christmas tradition originated PAGAN! Statues of the Mother and lover or Mother and son were paraded through the streets not only in Italy but also in Africa, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and Bulgaria. Thus, the symbolism of the Heavenly Virgin and the infant child paraded on a yearly basis are not of Christian origin. They stem from the Mother-goddess religion, which is very ancient ENTIRELY PAGAN! Scandinavian countries celebrated Yule honouring Thor – PAGAN! In Germania (not Germany) they celebrated midwinter night followed by 12 wild nights of eating and drinking. The 12 days of Christmas PAGAN! The church under Pope Julius I declared that Christ’s birth would be celebrated on December 25 in 350 AD in order to try to hijack the PAGAN festivals but it was largely ignored. Christians did not really celebrate Christmas until 378 but it was then dropped in 381 and not resurrected until 400. The Christmas tree stems from pagan tradition and ritual surrounding the Winter Solstice, which included the use of holly boughs ivy and other foliage as an adaptation of pagan tree worship. Holly and ivy represented male and female. Mistletoe was considered a sacred plant, and the custom of kissing under the mistletoe began as a fertility ritual - all PAGAN! Santa Claus came from the Dutch “Sinterklaas” and was a tall figure riding a white horse through the air and usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. Also the origin of the reindeer, sleigh and the elves ALL PAGAN! The modern red coated Santa was brought about by coca cola! AMERICA ACTUALLY BANNED CHRISTMAS several times and is the originator of the expression “Happy Holidays” which came about because of the pagan origins of Christmas to include all religions and traditions! The Venerable Bede, an early Christian writer pointed out that the Christian church absorbed Pagan practices when it found the population unwilling to give up the festivals. Thus a lot of what Christians now see as Christians practices are in fact pagan!

Answer 3

I'd go the Virgo. Someone said they are too shy, not so. The Virgo man can be somewhat of a weirdo, I'm not saying Jesus was one, but he would have come across as this weird strange dude. The healing of the sick could very well be a Virgo trait. I know a Virgo man, very much like Jesus; saintly, good, caring, compassionate, and I can see him throwing the money lenders out of the temple, I can also see him defending Mary Madgalene.
VIRGO

Answer 4

Actually, I'm Aries and I'm the complete opposite to your description. I wouldn't help the poor, I don't care about the sick and I'm more likely to be the money lender! The 25th is a hijacked pagan festival date, nothing to do with Jesus or Christianity at all.

Answer 5

Actually he is thought to have been born in the spring to early summer when the Shepard's tend the young sheep at night. December 25th is when a roman cult believed mithras was born and it was adopted by Christians. Research Mithras.

Answer 6

I just had this conversation with someone two days ago and I remember reading he was a Pisces ... He rang in the Piscean age and all of the traits above describe the most elevated Piscean traits, so that would be my vote.

Answer 7

Of course he wasn't born on the 25th. People just made that story up 50-100 years after he died. He was probably born around that time of year but they can't be sure. After all he was born a peasant.

Answer 8

alot of people have speculated the true birth date of jesus. i find the most accurate was (given personality) him having a Virgo Sun and a Pisces Rising, with Jupiter/Saturn rising.

because my first impression of what he did was screaming pisces. emotionally self-sacraficing, explains it all. it makes alot of sense. also with a virgo sun it shows the Physicly self-sacraficing part of him, and a monumental mark of being born "of the virgin".

Answer 9

I've heard that he was a late Piscean on the Arian cusp, but I think Chainlightning's answer says it all.

Answer 10

Arians are too bossy in nature and virgoans are too shy to have been jesus.. i reckon he was a taurus or a libra
