> If Christ was a Pisces, that's the origin of the fish symbol.

The sun on the spring equinox moving into Pisces is the more likely origin
of the fish symbol.

The person who came up with the astrological schema that you are
critiquing had one correct idea: mythology is related to astronomy.
Unfortunately, he or she did not bother learning the details of *how*
mythology is related to astronomy.

Astronomy means 'naming the stars'. There was a whole Christian astronomy
developed in the early centuries AD which did not catch on.

"Lo Spaccio della Bestia Trionfante" by Giordano Bruno is an astronomy, in
the course of which Brother Giordano renames all of the constellations (it
is also a very funny book, and one of the most accessible of Bruno's
works).
