Isaiah 44:3-4
“For I will pour out water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit
on your offspring, and My blessing on your descendants; And they will spring up among the grass like
poplars by streams of water.”

Throughout the Scriptures we find the divine symbolism of God, His Son, and His Spirit, compared
to streams of water. Ezekiel writes of water flowing forth from the Temple of Yahweh in the vision
he describes. Similarly, the River of Life features prominently in John’s description of the throne of
God.

Revelation 22:1-3
And he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and

twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of
the nations.

In the Zodiac of Dendera Aquarius is represented by an image of a man with two urns, one in each
hand, pouring forth water. The Egyptian name is Aru, “the River.”

The image of the Water Pourer is undoubtedly a beneficent sign. It indicates great blessing procured
by the Son of God and released upon the dry ground of humanity. The decans associated with
Aquarius are Piscis Australis (the Southern Fish), Pegasus (depicted as a winged horse, the name
meaning “coming quickly”), and Cygnus (the Swan Circling).

Pisces

The unusual feature of this constellation is that the two fish are drawn as being held together by a
band. This cord seems to be restraining them. Pisces, of course, is symbolic of the redeemed of the
Lord, His church. Yahshua told His disciples, “I will make you fishers of men.” The great struggle
of humanity, and one that does not end, but merely begins when Christ calls a man or woman to be
His disciple, is to be free of the bonds and chains that have kept us bound. The shackles of sin weigh
down all mankind and have need of being broken. In our previous discourse on the sign of Capricorn,
the words of the prophet Isaiah, spoken by Yahshua as He began His ministry, were cited. “He has
sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who
