It is a common interpretation that Leonardo da Vinci modeled the twelve apostles in his painting "The Last Supper" on the twelve constellations of the zodiac, with Jesus Christ as the sun. This interpretation is based on the positions of the hands of each apostle, which are said to resemble the shapes of the stars in the corresponding constellations. However, it is worth noting that there is no definitive proof that Leonardo intended for this symbolism to be included in his painting, and it is ultimately open to interpretation.

I have used my Moderator position to edit the post from shan123 to remove the phishing spam link to the visa provisioning website. It distresses me that the only basis people have to engage in such discussion is deceptive scamming. I expect if shan tries to post again with such links they will be removed as a spammer. I should note, the post claim that "it is a common interpretation" is completely untrue, as is the claim that "it is ultimately open to interpretation". That is like saying it is open to interpretation whether the Earth orbits the Sun.

I just had an article published on this topic in the magazine of the Organization for Professional Astrology. It is not that the theory is astrological, rather that anyone other than astrologers will not so much as give it the time of day.
