This theory shows shocking naïveté about cosmology considering the interest 
its creator must have had in the subject:

"Thirty years after Christ's birth he was baptized. Thirty days after the 
Sun is born he enters the sign Aquarius, the water-bearer (Baptismo). "

Actually this count is off by 5 days, but lets leave that aside. 2000 years 
ago, the Sun entered Aquarius around (guessing) 40 days or more later than 
it does today. This holds true for all the other dates assigned to 
astrological signs.

There is much to recommend the connection between cosmology and myth, but 
this explanation is like trying to present Quantum Physics through Nancy & 
Sluggo cartoons.
