The Woman and the Dragon
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads.
Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.
The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.
She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”
And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
On September 23, 2017--- 33 days following the Great American Eclipse and for the first time in human history--- the woman (Virgo) follows the lion (Leo) bestowed with 12 stars forming her crown, sun adorned with the moon at her feet.
Leo consists of nine stars; the other three are Mercury, Mars and Venus.
This occurs three days after the end of 5777, which is a double Jubilee year: for both Jerusalem and Israel.
Strange things afoot.

Sorry if that messes up your numbers.

That is, of course, if we assume that Leo has nine main stars--- which, for the most part, it is (and has been) depicted as such.

9 is arbitrary, and meaningless.

How did we decide to use the limited amount of them to form constellations?
What significance do those constellations hold?
How long have we seen these constellations in the forms currently recognized?
What do they mean?

And yet, here you are in a forum dedicated to Spirituality, ostensibly looking for order, meaning.
When cataclysmic and inexplicable events come crashing down in lock step with prophesies and dreams from thousands of years before, do you think you'll be standing on the sidelines sucking your teeth, nonchalantly insisting it's all just so quaint?
I won't be around for said sucking, but I'm willing to wager you'll remember this conversation.
And you won't be smiling fondly.

Originally posted by @freakykbhJudging by your post earlier on this page, you seem to be convinced that these "cataclysmic and inexplicable events" are going to happen during Ghost of Duke's lifetime. You also seem to have determined this timing from astrology. Is that what you want people here to think?
It's going to happen; but whoever wrote the Bible knew about it thousands of years ago.

You can notice that he doesn't say he thinks it will will happen anymore than he will state before his god that he truly believes the earth to be flat.
