The sun dies every year on the winter soltice, three days later it moves one degree to the north and is "resurrected". This was celebrated when the sun finally overcame the dark on the vernal equinox, or passover.
The 3 signs of the zodiac leading up to the death of the sun are libra, scorpio and sagittarius. Libra weighs the sun, Jesus was put on trial. Scorpio is represented by a scorpion, Judas and his kiss of betrayal. Sagittarius is represented by an archer drawing back his bow, Jesus is finally put to death when the Roman soldier pierces his side.
The entire Bible is filled with astronomical allegories. Try out Job 38:31-41. A few references to the constellations.
