The name "Zodiac" comes from the Hebrew root "Zodi," meaning the way or path.
The Zodiac found in Denderak, Egypt, was copied from a Zodiac originally designed
approximately 5,000 years before, and was based on the position of the planetary bodies at
that time. The pristine Zodiac was a Gospel story drawn in the heavens, foretelling a coming
Redeemer, His struggle with Satan, death and resurrection, and even the Redeemed's journey
to Heaven. On earth today, the most unique mystery is the zodiac, involving theology,
astronomy, astrology and history. At the dawn oftime, before the primeval world existed, the
constellations were readied to proclaim the Sacred Scriptures.
The first corruption of the Zodiac signs was introduced by the Babylonians. Today
the mythological Greek figures have become so entrenched one could not change them and
still have a recognizable Zodiac. Yet the root meanings of the signs and stars' names
remain the same!
To quote from A1bertus Magnus's De Universo. In the Zodiac, "...we find the
primordial record and testimony of the way of God to us, and our way back to God. It is written
in the heavens, to be seen and read by all."
