Star of Bethlehem

[crystalonyx]

"In 3/2 BC, Jupiter's retrograde wandering would have called for our magus' full attention. After Jupiter and Regulus had their kingly encounter, Jupiter continued on its path through the star field. But then it entered retrograde. It "changed its mind" and headed back to Regulus for a second conjunction. After this second pass it reversed course again for yet a third rendezvous with Regulus, a triple conjunction. A triple pass like this is more rare. Over a period of months, our watching magus would have seen the Planet of Kings dance out a halo above the Star of Kings. A coronation. "

Again , silly conjecture, all planets shift positions back and forth as they revolve around the sun.. Also, again, everything is moving across the sky from east to west as the earth rotates on its axis, so no particular "place" could be pointed to. The only star that remains (relatively) static is the north star, otherwise you're just blowing smoke.

Awesome link. Here's a supplement as to Daniel's predictions and the mathematical probability of the various date options. I believe we have a perfect match here. Remember, our earliest copies of the book of Daniel date to the 2nd century BC.
