Capricornus 5


The Greek explanation of the Capricornus zodiacal sign:one is the symbol represents the curved tail of the fish;another is that the combination of the Greek letters the first two letters in the Greek word tragos, which means "goat."

Atonement in theology is an instance of reconciliation between God and human beings through the redemptive life and death of Jesus. The reconciliation of God and human beings brought about by Jesus, is the radical obedience and purification, exemplified in the life of Jesus, by which humanity finds oneness with God.
(Note this is a connection between Capricorn and Cancer in that Praesepe the Star Cluster is similar). According to some ancient myths, Capricornus was the Gate of the Gods, the portal in the sky through which the souls of mortals passed after they died. (Note: reference to Cancer).

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Skin (Heb. 'owr, ore, from Heb. 'uwr, oor, to be bare, thus skin (as naked)) used for animal skin and human skin.
What about the connection to the zodiac of Denderah

I found it amusing that out of the characters that circled the main constellations of the Zodiac in the Denderah Zodiac (see drawing shown in Chapter One) the figure below is the only one of its kind. It is positioned directly between Aquarius and Capricornus. What this symbol represents initially escaped me, but it does correlate with the beginning of Day One -- Capricornus and the End of the Twelfth Day -- Aquarius. Any constellations below these two are of minor consequences.

Some scholars have commented that the Denderah Zodiac begins at the constellation Virgo based on the symbol translation. I beg to differ with them, it begins with this symbol in context with this book.
