(serpent) on the head (fatal).” Satan has been cast down to the earth. How do we know from scripture the meaning
of the Constellation of Leo, which represents the Lion? We do know that Judah used the symbol of a Lion. In
Revelation 5:5 it makes the statement “behold the Lion…. has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.” We now
know the Lion is Christ, because the Lamb opens the seals of the book and He is from the “Root of David.”

Revelation 5:4-5 “Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book
or to look into it; and one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from
18
the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.”
Revelation 10:1-3 “I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud;
and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;

2 and he had in his hand a little book which was open. He placed his right foot on the sea and his
left on the land;
3 and he cried out with a loud voice, as when a lion roars; and when he had cried out, the seven
19
peals of thunder uttered their voices.”
Clothed with a cloud—the emblem of God coming in judgment. From Jamieson’s Commentary

Leo Minor represents Christ as the Young Lion; while Leo Major represents God the Father as the Great Lion.
Saturn represents the Father figure and the enforcer of the Law. Leo represents the Deity of Christ. In
Revelation 5:5-6 it says the Lamb is the Lion. What is the next event seen in the heavenly skies? It is the sign of
the serpent’s head and tail and it occurs in the Constellation of Libra that represents the scales of justice.
