The Zodiac existed near the time of Creation and prophesied the coming of Jesus Christ. Starting with Virgo (the virgin) and ending with Leo (Lion of Judah) the Zodiac tells of Jesus' birth and slaying of the dragon/scorpion/snake to redeem mankind. As usual with Satan's tactics, the Zodiac was tarnished into making it astrology and diminishing the original message to mankind. Informative book on the subject:

THE ZODIAC MESSAGE SUMMARISED
This hope of future deliverance is reflected in the traditions and mythologies of all ancient peoples. In every age there were prophets who treasure the divine messages.
They believed in the one Creator, in beings called angels, and in Satan who had infected all humanity. They feared sin and sought forgiveness through blood sacrifice. They spoke of a Deliverer coming to suffer, of resurrection through him and the eventual restoration of all that was lost.
This good news is, therefore, as old as the race; and never was there a time when it was not known.
What is more, IT IS TRACEABLE IN THE ANCIENT ZODIAC, a sky-wide picture gallery intended to last till the end of time. In this shining overhead archway, a grand procession of scenery unfolds its story ceaselessly, all year round, an everlasting witness to the human race.
It proclaims in detail:
* the fall and depravity of man through the subtlety of Satan;
* the coming down of a mightier One, who assumes human nature, and dies for man;
* the ultimate triumph of this Rescuer, man's restoration, and the vanquishing of the Serpent (Dragon).
Here is the likely original of many legends concerning the Serpent or Dragon and his Destroyer.
The theme of the zodiac, then? Quite simply, it is the irreconcilable feud between the Deceiver and the Deliverer - THE DEADLY MALIGNITY OF THE ONE AND THE SELF-SACRIFICING BENEFICENCE OF THE OTHER. It is the story of the Creator's love for human beings - and of his rescue plan for them. The zodiac prophesies events to the end of human history.
