Actually, the kabbalistic tree of life and the cross of Christ both allude to the trees in the Garden of Eden and come from the same tradition (early Christians also used the tree of life diagram now associated with kabbalism), so this is not a matter of cultural inference from asterisms (which has its own interesting and partly lost history).
the cross of Christ both allude to the trees in the Garden of Eden
The story of Jesus dying on a cross is a fall of consciousness from the spiritual plain into the material plain. The cross is your physical body. Your consciousness dies when it comes to the material plain. And takes the 5 wounds on the cross, the 5 senses of the material universe.
The Celtic cross with its circle encasing a cross represents the divine connection between the physical aspect of man and the absolute spirit of our true selves. The cross is essentially the dimensions of a square and represents the physical body. Ancient alchemists believed the Celtic cross resembled spirit and matter, the union between heaven and earth, spirit and physical – “as above, so below”.
Leonardo da Vinci’s, an artist that practiced and understood ancient alchemy illustrated man’s connection with the divine in his diagram, Vitruvian Man.
Very good. It's possible to believe all that without denying that Jesus died on a cross in 33 AD and rose from the dead on the third day. If one doesn't believe history it won't help to know symbology.
Those images are like saying there is a bear in the sky because someone draw a bear looking circuit between stars.

Not a bear... maybe hopscotch. Have you ever played when you were young?
