Star of Bethlehem and the Magi in Biblical Astronomy
A long reflection discusses the Star of Bethlehem as a fixed star in the zodiac, the Magi origins, and competing theories. It explores if the star was celestial or symbolic, citing Kepler’s conjunctions, Sirius symbolism, and the Pisces sign, with the Magi from various ancient regions linked to the East. The piece argues for a nonmystical, astronomical interpretation and references church authorities and scholars.
