ok so this is what i cam up with so far:
www.freewebs.com...
ya so when you get to the page just right click it and select view image to get a bigger picture
so these are the reasons for my conclusions:
starting with First guy at left of table (from my point of view):
First Person (with hump thing on back): I said that he was
Aries because well i was stuck on this one until i started looking at pics of
rams and saw that they all have this hump on their backs before their necks.
Second Person (blond hair, red robe): So i was also stuck on him until i concluded that his hands weren't representing crabs pincers but a
bulls horns, so
Taurus.
Third Person (Bald): This one is obvious, both hands in air in same position, its gotta be
Gemini the twins.
Fourth Person (Blue robe, talking to mary): He has a knife in his hands, and knives do what - stab, poke, puncture like crab pincers. Also the
way his hands/arms are reminds me of a crab, so
Cancer.
Fifth Person (green and blue robe): Obvious, has the nose of lion, therefore is
Leo.
Sixth Person (woman, mary): Again obvious, woman represents
Virgo.
Seventh Person (Jesus): He could be Libra or Ophiuchus, but i am going to say he is
Libra because he looks as if he is a scale (there is
another reason he is not Ophiuchus but ill show that a little latter)
Eighth Person (only a head and pointing up with finger): Now this one got me too, but eventually i came up with him being
Sagittarius
through process of elimination. Then i did some closer study into him and found that faintly above his finger (which is pointing up) is the outline of
a bow with an arrow strung, its hard to see but i circled it in my picture. Also as for him not being in order it looks as if he was supposed to be
sitting between the guy in the red and the guy in the blue, but he got up to go speak to jesus in the background.
Ninth Person (green robe, arms outstretched): This is who i believe to be
Ophiuchus, but ill get to this after the next one...
Tenth Person (red robe): This i believe to be
Scorpio because on his left arm he has a scorpion or what looks like a scorpion.
Ninth Person (continued): now this person i believe is Ophiuchus because it is stated that the center of the galaxy is seen through the
constellation Ophiuchus which is right in between Sagittarius and Scorpio, which he is in the painting. He also looks like the most sinister guy at
the table. Oh just noticed right now but it seems like he has the most of Jesus' attention, and seems to be like an advisor to Jesus, if you look
into the background of Ophiuchus you will see why that is important.
Eleventh Person (blue robe): i have no reason for this one besides through the process of elimination and to fit the order,
Capricorn.
Twelfth Person (old guy with beard): I figured he was
Pisces, because it is usually represented by two fish, if you look at his hands
they seem like the shapes of fish swimming at an angle, as Pisces is depicted.
Thirteenth Person (Bald, white robe): So i thought this guy to be
Aquarius because the way his cup is placed in front of his plate looks
like the plate is full of water, hence water bearer.
So this is my idea of how this all works anyone else see anything i missed.
