Wonders and Mysteries of the Universe.

The Zodiac of Stars:

‘Because God created the material universe as an immense parable fraught with supernatural meaning, there exists an intimate relation between faith and reason. The heavens show forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.’ (Ps 18:2). ‘Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.’(Ps 146:4). ‘Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus? (Job 38:31-32). ‘Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these things: who bringeth out their host by number, and calleth them all by their names: by the greatness of his might, and power, not one of them was missing.’ (Psa 40:26).’ --- Solange Hertz.


When God gave Adam and Eve dominion over the Earth and its creatures, even allowing Adam to name them, God reserved the stars of heavens to Himself ‘for signs.’ Biggest of all was the Zodiac, an annual cosmic phenomenon observed throughout the year as the sun, as seen from Earth, passes in front of different star clusters on the ecliptic plane of the celestial sphere. These are divided into twelve ‘signs,’ known as constellations, one for each month of the year each with three subsidiary ones in each. In time, mankind found that a line joining these star-clusters depicts a different creature each month. In the Bible, we read it was God who gave the names to these starry clusters, but few are now aware that they were intended by God to show us the history of our world.
‘The story which the Zodiac unfolds in the course of the year lies in the meanings of these names given by God to each of the star-clusters in its forty-eight constellations when He set them in order in the beginning, making of them, as the Psalmist says: “faithful witnesses in heaven” (Ps. 88:38) of His plan for the world… Put in proper order, [Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo] beginning not with Aries as now deployed, but with Virgo, the sign under which Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, was born, and ending with Leo, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah, universal Lord of Creation, rather than Pisces, the Biblical Zodiac foretold in the stars the story of the Incarnation, the Redemption and the world to come even before the Bible was written. (This incidentally, provides the answer to the mystery of the Sphinx which, having the head of a woman and the body and tail of a lion is therefore simply a representation in stone of the ancient Zodiac). Capricorn, the sign under which Our Lord and saviour was born, is quite properly the Goat, a sacrificial animal offered for the remission of sins under the old law. Its back legs, however, terminate in the tail of a fish, signifying that its death produces life. In the accurate chronological order Capricorn is the fifth of the twelve signs, occurring appropriately in the beginning of the age of the son in world history.’--- Solange Hertz, The Scientific Illusion, reprinted in The Remnant, Feb. 2003.

Virgo, in Latin means ‘virgin,’ or ‘maiden,’ the sign that represented the Virgin Mary. It also applies to the planet called Venus, the first ‘star’ that is seen in the night sky and the last to be seen as daylight emerges. Recall what we ask for in the Litany of the Virgin Mary; ‘Morning Star pray for us.’ Moreover, that planet, as seen from Earth, when its movements over a period of time are traced on paper as seen below, forms what is called The Flower of Venus, rather, the Flower of the Virgin Mary. Then there is the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This occurred when in 1531, Our Lady appeared several times to an Indian named Wan Diego. She wanted a chapel built there. His local bishop asked him to show proof it was the Virgin Mary. In response, Mary asked Wan to gather roses in his tilma and give them to the Bishop. As he did so, the roses fell out of his tilma, leaving a miraculous image imprinted on it, a tilma still to be seen in Guadalupe today. Our interest in the image is that Our Lady’s tilma is covered with stars, and when examined in 1983 by Dr Juan Hernandes and Fr Mario Sanches they found the stars correspond precisely to the Constellations of the winter sky of December 12th, 1521, showing all the ‘signs’ in the stars confirm Our Lady as Queen of Heaven and Earth. ---
          The Flower of the Virgin Mary.                                                Our Lady of Guadalupe.

We must know then, in the context of that great battle of principalities and powers, to find satanic agents changed the Zodiac phenomena and signs to blind humanity of its original Christian message in the stars. First developed was the pagan astrology, the ancient art of divination by consulting the planets and stars, particularly the signs of the zodiac in relation to observed human events, and making deductions and future secular predictions on this basis. Even that Virgin planet was named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Copernican revolution, when the sun replaced the Earth at the centre of the Zodiac and the astrology ‘signs’ were used as the object of fraud, superstition and the occult, even claiming the ability to read personal prophesies and messages in them. Open any newspaper today and see how the Zodiac is used as a useless occult belief system for vast numbers of people as carrying predictions for those born on any of the twelve signs. The Catholic faith of course, absolutely rejects the idea that the sun, moon or planets could in any way influence or predict one’s personal future destiny. The Church teaches that men have free will and that God alone knows the future.

Thank you for posting cassini, I am getting more interested every day!

The explanation about the Sphinx is an intriguing proposition, but kindda makes sense.

Does the tilma have the Virgo  {over her Immaculate Heart} and Leo { "Jesus" over her womb} stars "painted" on it? Or does the star map fill in the blank?

Appreciate the articles...CATHOLIC !

Attached is a clear diagram of the constallations on the tilma. 99% of astronomers agree.

I visited the Strasbourg Astronomical Clock in 1984...What a joy.!
Highly recommend CI users to do a quick internet search, just fantastic: Complete with the zodiak, phases of the moon, and the 12 apostles slowly presenting themselves in front of Jesus...

An angel striking the hours, plus a rooster crows around noon. The rose window is incredible in that Cathedral, a glory for Catholic tradition/ art etc.

Main Time Dial
The central dial, adorned with Roman numerals, displays local time with an ornate hand. The precision pendulum and escapement system ensure remarkable accuracy for a 19th-century clock.
Astronomical Dial and Perpetual Calendar
Located above the main time dial, the astronomical dial reveals:
  • Solar time / the sun’s position along the ecliptic
  • Lunar phases, indicated by a rotating silver-black sphere
  • Positions of the classical planets, as per Ptolemaic cosmology
  • Zodiac signs and the precession of the equinoxes
The perpetual calendar tracks the date, day of the week, and key liturgical dates, adjusting automatically for leap years and calendrical variations. (Encyclopaedia Britannica)

Mechanical Innovations
Schwilgué’s mechanism features:
  • Gravity escapement for improved timekeeping
  • Remontoire, providing consistent mechanical force
  • Self-correcting calendar for Gregorian leap year calculation
These innovations, combined with the clock’s astronomical complexity, made...


Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.

The Sun:

‘The sun, an admirable instrument, the work of the Most High…breathing out fiery vapours,
and shining with his beams, he blindeth the eyes. Great is the Lord that made him, and at his words he hath hastened his course’ (Ecc. 43:2-4).



Although disclosed 2300 years ago in the Scriptures, the Bible that churchmen today tell us is supposed to teach us nothing about science, it was not until the 20th century that astronomy confirmed the sun does indeed ‘breathe out fiery vapours.’ These prominences, are described as fantastic jets of gas that appear to spring from its surface. Then there are the eruptive prominences. Narrow at the base, resembling jagged flames, ejected from its surface. Interestingly, their composition is often described nowadays as ‘chromospheric vapours.’

‘Practically all life on Earth depends on energy from the sun. This energy travels through space as radiation. It comes to Earth in a vast spectrum of [electromagnetic] wavelengths. The shortest are the lethal gamma rays. Then come X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared, microwaves, and the longest of all, radio waves. Remarkably, our atmosphere blocks much harmful radiation while allowing other needed radiation to reach the Earth’s surface. I was intrigued by the introduction to the Bible’s Creation account and its reference to light. It states: “God said: ‘Let there be light.’ Then there was light.” Only a very narrow band of the vast spectrum of solar radiation is visible light, but light is vital for life. Plants need it to produce food, and we need light to see. The atmosphere’s special transparency to light cannot be a coincidence. Even more remarkable is the tiny amount of ultraviolet light that reaches the Earth’s surface. Some ultraviolet radiation is critical. We need a small amount of it on our skin to produce vitamin D, which is vital for bone health and evidently for protection from cancer and other diseases. However, too much of this particular radiation causes skin cancer and eye cataracts. In its natural state, the atmosphere allows only a tiny amount of this ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth’s surface—and it is just the right amount. For me, that is evidence that someone designed the Earth to sustain life.’--- Wentlong He website.

Finally, there is the phenomenon of the three or more suns, first recorded in 1533, and referred to in Shakespeare’s 1591 King Henry VI, Pt 3, act 2 scene I, and once again described by Domenico Cassini on 22nd May 1677 in Journal de Savants. This phenomenon, now called the ‘sun dog’ (parhelion), occurs just a few degrees above the horizon when the sun takes on this incredible corona with two solar images. Below we see the three suns that soon merge into one, described by some as a divine type of the three distinct persons in the one God.

Virgin of Guadalupe, Mysterious light, April 24, 2007 AD.

Thank you for posting that sun dogs photo. Here in the cold Canadian winters, we see that about 3 times a winter, when it is -35 F , clear day, a bit after high noon. It also means 4 more days of extreme cold. Strong blizzard here as I write...


The nature of light is of "bewildering complexity' x 1,000,000,000's.

I met a man in New Mexico who had discovered a "Yellow" type of light ...he was comfortably living off the royalties!!... as that special wave length was used in some technology research...they will always discover more puzzling characteristics of LIGHT...

Probably the reason there were SUN gods since man walked on earth.
The Romans had "Sol" , Greeks had "Helio" etc.
Even the early Catholics had to be corrected by Pope Leo:
Attachment.
Sun Worship, in Early Christian Period - Christian Resource Centre ...

The complaint of Pope Leo in the fifth century that worshippers in St. Peter's turned away from the altar and faced the door so that they could adore the rising sun is not without its significance in regard to the number of Christians who at one time had been adherents of some form of sun-worship.

  Anyway, here is a photo of the Virgin of Guadalupe radiating a mysterious light from Her womb. This lasted an hour, quite a few pictures and even a video recorded this impressive occurrence.  A mass was being said for the unborn at that time too! This happened the very day Mexico approved Abortion, April 24, 2007.
  Our Lady had delivered the Aztec population from the Death Culture of their feathered serpent, and in the modern world  satan is again asking for human sacrifice in the form of abortion...




Virgin of Guadalupe, pray for us.
