So what, you ask? If you don't think it matters, don't answer. But if you are a good Jew, you will care and probably know. When the eclipse occurred during the crucifixion, the sun was obscured as it sat in the constellation of Aries. Therefore, Aries would have been prominent and anyone looking at the eclipse would have seen Aries in the sky. As handed down from Noetic tradition, Aries is the symbol of the lamb who was to be slain. This eclipse would have been up in the SW sky. I'd like to think that Christ faced NE on the cross so that when the eclipse occurred, those gathered around to gaze upon Him would have easily seen the astral phenomenon.

Jesus IS aries. His entire life/death is a reanactment of the Jewish plight using astrological symbolism and OT exegesis.

First, he wasn't on a cross, he was on an upright stake, or pole. And second, he faced forward.
