A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;
Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.

Since when were the original biblical texts written in Greek? As far as I know Revelation is pre-Christian the original language would be Hebrew, which makes your point pretty mute.
[exSo the sun in Virgo, the moon at Virgo’s “feet”, and Jupiter in the constellation are regular occurrences. This leaves the planets at the “head” (the number depending on the number of stars granted to Leo) as the determining factor in making a “momentous” celestial arrangement. Indeed, while various Internet sources speak of the specific celestial arrangement here as being “unique in human history” or “once in 7000 years”, in fact it is not unique to September 23, 2017. This basic arrangement happened before—in September 1827, in September 1483, in September 1293, and in September 1056. These are all shown at the end of this post. I only searched back one thousand years, from 2017 to 1017—there are undoubtedly other examples outside of that time period, and probably a couple examples that I missed within that time period.]

Nowhere else in the Bible talks about "great" sign and there's been many signs throughout the Bible. Consider the implication of that very thought, why is this sign so great? Jesus gave us this revelation over 2000 years ago.
Revelation 12:1
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;
And now I will attempt to show you why this is truly a great sign.
First we will start with the meaning of Revelation 12.
Some of you will have seen this before.
Question is it real? Yes it is.
Here is a few photos taken from my phone using Star Chart app that has the ability to go through time.
I was checking it out for fun one day and decided to check out September 23rd, 2017 for fun and was surprised to see all the planets lined up.
This one even has the "woman" so tell me, how did Jesus know it would be a woman 2000 years ago we are now looking at, while at the same time describing every location right down to the detail, moon below her feet, clothed with the sun, how many stars above her head etc?
The moon at her feet.
Clothed with the sun.
The stars above her head. (The woman disappeared on app lol)
Are you beginning to see why this is a Great sign? The only 'great' sign spoken of in the Bible?
This is a sign for the last Generation to take notice.
I'm not done yet. What big event happened before September 23rd, 2017?
August 21, 2017 Total Solar Eclipse.
The last total solar eclipse before August happened on February 26, 1979...38 years, the next one is in 7 years on October 14, 2023.
Next total solar eclipse is in 7 years, are we being warned through this great sign we are about to enter the 7 year Tribulation period?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Kind regards,

I'm quite baffled everybody picks out one line and completely disregards the context of the full story. Like the heaven in that phrase can't be our night skies, if it were this
Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
as it takes place in heaven too would imply you think the heaven where God lives is also the night sky. Are you?
It's symbolic, through and through. Heaven doesn't equal night skies.
Sun, stands for nobility, incorruptability, the male principle
Moon, the subconsciousness, silver (as in the metal used to kill demons), the female principle
these are clear signs that what is talked about is the divine marriage. I mean she even gets/is pregnant how much more obvious can it be?
Twelve is the number of the cosmic order. Think about all the tings that are twelve (in & outside the religious stories)
...
I could pick apart the rest of the story including the dragon and the son with the iron rod too, but I'm sure you wouldn't be able to understand and/or appreciate.
So I simply say:
No.
