I have done an in-depth study of the Zodiac and have found the Bible speaks of it many times. A further study will show what it is actually saying. But for now let me start the conversation. It starts here:
Psalm 19:1-6 (NKJV)
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6 Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
Word Study:
Psalm 19:1-6 (NKJV)
1 The heavens[H8064 šāmayim: A masculine noun meaning sky, heaven, abode, firmament, air, stars. Although the word is plural or dual in form, it can be translated into English as singular or plural depending on the context. The word describes everything God made besides the earth: God made the heavens of the universe (Gen. 1:1; 14:19); the firmament or expanse which He created around the earth was named sky or heaven as well (Gen. 1:8). He stretched out the heavens (Isa. 40:22); creating them (Isa. 42:5; 45:18). The heavens that humans observe with their senses are indicated by this word. The stars are part of the heavens (Gen. 15:5) and are personified in some cases (Judg. 5:20); the sun and the moon, along with the stars, make up a major part of the hosts of heaven (Deut. 4:19).] declare[H5608 sāp̠ar, sōp̠ēr, sôp̠ēr: A verb meaning to number, to recount, to relate, to declare. It is used to signify the numbering or counting of objects (Gen. 15:5; Ps. 48:12[13]); and people, as in a census (1 Chr. 21:2; 2 Chr. 2:17[16]). It also refers to a quantity that is too great to number (Gen. 16:10; Jer. 33:22). God’s numbering of one’s steps is a sign of His care (Job 14:16; cf. Matt. 10:30). The word also means to relate or to recount and is used often to refer to the communication of important information and truths to those who have not heard them, especially to foreign nations (Ex. 9:16; 1 Chr. 16:24; Ps. 96:3); or to the children in Israel (Ps. 73:15; 78:4, 6; 79:13). The matter communicated included dreams (Gen. 40:9; 41:8, 12; Judg. 7:13); God’s works (Ex. 18:8; Ps. 73:28; Jer. 51:10); and recounting one’s own ways to God (Ps. 119:26). The word also signifies the silent witness of the creation to its Creator and His wisdom and glory (Job 12:8; 28:27; Ps. 19:1[2]).] the glory[H3519 kābod: A masculine singular noun meaning honor, glory, majesty, wealth. This term is commonly used of God (Ex. 33:18; Ps. 72:19; Isa. 3:8; Ezek. 1:28)] of God[Elʾēl: A masculine noun meaning God, god, mighty one, hero. This is one of the most ancient terms for God, god, or deity. It appears most often in Genesis, Job, Psalms, and Isaiah and not at all in some books.]; And the firmament[H7549 rāqiyaʿ: A masculine noun meaning an expanse, the firmament, an extended surface. Literally, this word refers to a great expanse and, in particular, the vault of the heavens above the earth. It denotes the literal sky that stretches from horizon to horizon (Gen. 1:6-8); the heavens above that contain the sun, moon, and stars (Gen. 1:14); or any vaulted ceiling or expanse that stands above (Ezek. 10:1).] shows[H5046 nāg̠ad̠: A verb meaning to tell, to report, to make known, to explain, to be reported. The root idea of the word and the causative form in which it is used is to declare something.] His handiwork[H4639/H3027 maʿaśeh: A masculine noun meaning a work, a deed, workmanship. The word has an extremely broad range of meanings, but they can be deciphered by carefully examining the context of each use. Here are some main categories: the works and deeds of God, whatever they may be, especially His work of salvation and judgment (Judg. 2:7, 10; Josh. 24:31; Ps. 8:6[7]; 33:4; Eccl. 7:13; 8:17; 11:5; Isa. 26:12). The expression “the work(s) of his hands” occurs (Ps. 28:5; 92:4[5]; Isa. 5:12).].
2 Day unto day utters[H5042 nāb̠aʿ: A verb meaning to spew out, to pour out, to utter. It refers to something pouring forth, bubbling out: the language and speech of the heavens (Ps. 19:2[3]);] speech[H562 ʾōmer: A masculine noun meaning utterance, speech, word. It is used only in poetry in parallel constructions with dāb̠ār <H1697>, meaning word (Ps. 19:3[4]; Prov. 2:16; 4:10, 20); millîm <H4405>, meaning words (Job 32:12, 14; 33:3; 34:37)], And night unto night reveals[H2331 ḥāwāh: A verb meaning to announce, to tell, to explain; to reveal, to display. It indicates the knowledge the heavens put forth in their movements and appearance (Ps. 19:2[3]). But also the wisdom and knowledge a person puts forth in speech (Job 15:17; 32:6, 10, 17; 36:2)] knowledge[H1847 daʿat̠: A feminine noun meaning knowledge, knowing, learning, discernment, insight, and notion. The root meaning of the term is knowledge or knowing. In Proverbs 24:3, 4, it is the third word in a chain of three words describing the building of a house by wisdom, the establishment of that house by understanding, and finally, the filling of the rooms of the house by knowledge. The word describes God’s gift of technical or specific knowledge along with wisdom and understanding to Bezalel so he could construct the Tabernacle (Ex. 31:3; 35:31; cf. Ps. 94:10). God holds both pagan unbelievers and Israelites responsible to know Him.].

This frequent word has a wide range of meanings associated with it. It signified spoken words or speech (Gen. 11:1; Isa. 36:5; Jer. 51:64). Most important was the use of this word to convey divine communication. Often the word of the Lord signified the revelation given to prophets (2 Sam. 7:4; Jer. 25:3; Hos. 1:1). Similarly, the Ten Commandments were literally called the ten words of the Lord (Ex. 34:28; Deut. 4:13).] Where their voice[H6963 qôl: A masculine noun meaning a voice, a sound, a noise, a cry. This is an all-encompassing word that is used of any kind of sound. It describes God’s voice in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:8, 10); human voices, speech (Gen. 27:22; Josh. 6:10; 2 Ki. 7:10); singing (Ex. 32:18); laughter (Jer. 30:19). It is used of noises and sounds from inanimate objects: musical instruments, e.g., a shophar (Ex. 19:16; 20:18). It refers to the content of speech, what is actually conveyed (Gen. 3:17; Ex. 3:18); also the contents of a written message (2 Ki. 10:6). In a special use, it refers to the sound meaning of a divine sign (Ex. 4:8). The speech and utterances of the Lord as qôl are found often (Gen. 22:18; 26:5; Ex. 5:2; Zech. 6:15).] is not heard[H8085 šāmaʿ: A verb meaning to hear, to obey, to listen, to be heard of, to be regarded, to cause to hear, to proclaim, to sound aloud. The verb basically means to hear and in context expresses various connotations of this. The most famous use of this word is to introduce the Shema, “Hear, O, Israel,” followed by the content of what the Israelites are to understand about the Lord their God and how they are to respond to Him (Deut. 6:4). In a parallel usage, the heavens are commanded to “Hear, Oh heavens!” to the prophet’s message about Israel (Isa. 1:2). The word calls attention to hear various things: It means to hear another person speaking (Gen. 27:6); the Lord’s voice (Gen. 3:10); or anything that can be perceived by the ear.].
4 Their line[H6957 qaw, קָו qāw: A masculine noun indicating a line, a measuring line. It refers to an actual cord used in construction work as a measuring line (1 Ki. 7:23). Figuratively, it indicates a measuring standard of justice to be applied to Jerusalem (2 Ki. 21:13). It refers to the architectural plan, line, of the heavens that reflects God’s work (Ps. 19:4). It refers to an instructive utterance of prophetic and legal speech from God (Isa. 28:10, 13).

It is the poetic equivalent of dāb̠ār <H1697>, carrying the same range of meaning (2 Sam. 23:2; Ps. 19:4[5]; 139:4; Prov. 23:9).] to the end of the world[H8398 tēb̠ēl: A feminine noun meaning world, earth.]. In them He has set a tabernacle[H168ʾōhel: A masculine noun meaning tent.] for the sun,
5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6 Its rising is from one end of heaven[H8064 šāmayim: A masculine noun meaning sky, heaven, abode, firmament, air, stars. Although the word is plural or dual in form, it can be translated into English as singular or plural depending on the context.

The Hebrew word occurs most often in the Psalms and Isaiah. The word is frequently connected with the term justice (Ps. 119:106; Isa. 58:2). Kings, judges, and other leaders were to execute their duties based on righteous standards (Deut. 1:16; Prov. 8:15; Isa. 32:1).

His character is compassionate (Deut. 4:31); gracious (Ps. 116:5); and faithful to His covenant (Deut. 7:9). In fewer instances, this word refers to foreign gods, such as Dagon (1 Sam. 5:7) or Baal (1 Ki. 18:24). It also might refer to judges (Ex. 22:8[7], 9[8]) or angels as gods (Ps. 97:7).].

Romans 1:16-24 (NKJV)
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” [Hab 2:4]
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man–and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Romans 10:14-18 (NKJV)
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.” [a quote of Psm 19:4]
Isaiah 40:21-28 (NKJV)
21 Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. [see Psm 19:4]
23 He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless.
24 Scarcely shall they be planted, Scarcely shall they be sown, Scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth, When He will also blow on them, And they will wither, And the whirlwind will take them away like stubble.
25 “To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His power; Not one is missing.
27 Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: “My way is hidden from the LORD, And my just claim is passed over by my God”?
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
Conclusion:
What we see here is that what God (Jesus Jn 1:1-5) created speaks to us all that Jesus is the Coming One who would save us from our sins. He wrote it in the stars for all to read and no one is without excuse. The problem we have now days is that Satan has corrupted this as much as he could. In the end though God prevailed and the Gospel is still known to be written in the heavens.
I will do further writing of this in much more detail soon.
