Capricorn

Capricorn represents Jesus on the cross. The Hebrew name for this constellation is Gedi. It means “The Atonement slain”. It is so interesting because the constellation represents the tribe of Naphtali. Naphtali in Hebrew means my struggle. Going to the cross was the ultimate struggle that Jesus faces. Even to the point of sweating great drops of blood.  The three decan constellations in Capricorn all identify different stages of Jesus’ experience on the cross. He gave up His spirit then he was pierced in the side(Sagita), taken down (Aguila) and later was able to pour out the Holy Spirit as water (Delphinus)
