CHAPTER 3
JESUS WAS BORN BEFORE sunrise 1 Elul 3758, which was Monday,
August 12, 3 BC. This Jupiter-Venus conjunction in Leo was less
than 10 arcminutes in separation. The wise men [Magi] saw Jesus'
"star" [at its rising] in the east, thus their own witness to
this conjunction---very near to the "king" star Regulus---was
judicially construed as our Messiah's true date and approximate
time of birth, 3:30 AM JST, understood as astrological "conjoin"
of Emperor & Empress of the major arcana, with Jesus' planetary
souljourn Venus, whose symbol is also the ankh of eternal life.
The astronomical data with references to the molad, planetary
positions & the position of the "bearded star" Regulus for our
Lord Jesus' birth in the City of David, are calculated thusly:

--adjudicated by Daniel Joseph Min 7 May 2003 AD
The birthplace of Jesus-Christ is adorned by a
14-pointed star upon a marble stone. This site
of the ancient grotto holds the manger that is
believed to be the actual trough where newborn
Jesus was laid wrapped in swaddling clothes by
his mother Miryam. Coordinates are 35E13 31N42.
The actual time of birth is around 3:50 AM LMT,
although Mercury transits the cusp around 3:41
to reign in the third house, & Saturn transits
the cusp about 3:49. So the question arises if
whether Saturn is debilitate first house, else
is innate twelfth house? Notably, Venus, which
is Jesus' souljourning planet, his "bright and
morning star" Venus crests the local ascendant
just as Mercury transits the cusp, and Jupiter
reaches the ascendant within a minute of Venus.
The first time I calculated Jesus' natal chart
several years ago, 3:50 AM seemed most prudent,
on account of Saturn's transit on the cusp. As
I've looked again at the horoscope, however, I
must acquiesce under Mars' reign in the eighth
house, and the Moon fourth house, with Mercury
third house. This finds Jupiter fallen thereon
the Gemini ascendant with Venus sojourn innate.
Before, I'd discounted this scenario believing
Jupiter couldn't possibly have fallen in Jesus'
horoscope...could it? After all, with Venus in
exaltation aloft ruling Jupiter in the twelfth
house, Sun was exalted in the first house, and
Saturn was ruling in the tenth house, etc. etc.
But this is the horoscope of God! I must yield
to the strict doctrine that attracted the magi
to notice this star at its rising. And so I do.
Therefore, Fortune is with the tail of Draco &
is debilite under ruling Mercury. That's clear,
but again, I wonder if Saturn hasn't transited
the cusp to the twelfth house? Of this I can't
be certain. 3:50 AM LMT (1:30 UT) has survived
meticulous scrutiny. The Sun is ~ 2Can54'39.6".
The Local Angle Time is approximately ~3:54 AM.
I also calculated Jesus' natal chart for only 8 minutes
earlier, not that it changes this horoscope much at all,
but I include it as a celestial reference for this date,
emphasizing Mercury's transit, with Venus in Ascendancy.
When Jesus was born, Venus was in inferior aspect right
on the Ascendant above the predawn Sun at approximately
3:42 LMT (+2:20) with Jupiter practically kissing Venus,
both Venus and Jupiter third house aloft ruling Mercury
which just transited the cusp seconds before the Advent:
Mon 12-Aug--2 35E13 31N42
Aldebaran: 15Tau00 -5:36'
/Venus : 28Can24 +0:42'
/Ascendant: 28Can33 ______
\Jupiter : 28Can35 +0:38'
\Psi Leo : 28Can43 +0:12'
Subra : 29Can34 -3:52'
Fortune : 11Leo54 ______
/Mercury : 14Leo01 -3:16'
\2nd Cusp : 14Leo08 +0:00'
Sun : 19Leo10 +0:00'
Moon : 2Vir30 -1:19'
Thus Jupiter was in superior aspect but is fallen under
the weight Mercury, with Moon fourth house, Mars eighth
house, Uranus eleventh house, Saturn first of horoscope.
Looking at Jupiter & Venus from a topocentric viewpoint
at the time must have been breathtaking, since parallax
shows the King and Queen of heaven are nearly conjoined.
This astronomical union is called the Star of Bethlehem,
and he who was born of Jupiter & Venus is called Prince
for exactly this reason: the union of Venus and Jupiter.
Quoting Isaiah: "...the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and
kings to the brightness of thy rising...the dromedaries [young
camels] of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come:
they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the
praises of the LORD"[ref. Isa 60:3,6]. Isaiah is rightly known
as the Messianic Prophet, since he knew that out of Israel would
come the one true Messiah for all the world's salvation[cf. Isa
40:3/John 1:23; John 12:41-43ff]. The fact that Isaiah 60:3,6
seems to include the Magi's responding to this bright rising
"star" is best discerned by the true believer, since the prophet
Isaiah clearly prophesied about Jesus throughout his writings.
Thus Jesus Christ was born in the City of David: "Of the but
Jesus having been generated in Bethlehem of the Judea in days
of Herod the king, look! Magi from eastern parts came to be
alongside into Jerusalem saying Where is the(one) born king of
the Jews? We saw for of him the star in the east and we came
to do obeisance to him. Having heard but the King Herod was
agitated and all Jerusalem with him, and having led together all
the chief priests and scribes of the people he was inquiring
beside them where the Christ is generated."--Mat 2:1-4 WH-ITGS
The magoi observed this first of two consecutive conjunctions
of Jupiter & Venus in Leo [309 days apart] in the east [at its
rising] over Leo's "left paw" in the modern constellation, in
the early morning hours of August 12, 3 BC, breaking the desert
horizon at about 3:16 AM JST, fully one hour and forty- two
minutes ahead of the Sun, with the "king" star Regulus thirty-
seven minutes behind it, rising at 3:53 AM JST. The Magoi in
Babylon witnessed these majestic caelestial events about 40 to
45 minutes sooner than did those in the region of western
Palestine, thus their own witness from Babylon -- with the
"king" star in view -- was a half hour or so prior to the actual
time of Messiah's birth, near 3:30 AM UT in ancient Jerusalem.
Note Matthew's reference to "all Jerusalem with him" [Mat 2:3]
^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^
Clearly the magi weren't the only ones who'd noticed Messiah's
birth signs, but the Messianic portent thereof was apparently
troublesome for MANY, including king Herod. Everybody saw it!
To astrologers [lit. star-logicians] everywhere, Jupiter [Gk.
Zeus] was recognized as the Tarot Emperor associated with the
birth of kings; Venus [Gk. Aphrodite] was identified with the
Tarot Empress, sphere of balance & beauty. Leo & his courageous
heart in the "king" star Regulus, had long-since been associated
with Judah, and with royalty everywhere, some dating back to
circa 10,500 BC and before [e.g. Sphinx]. Note that Jesus is
referred to as The Lion of the Tribe of Judah [Rev. 5:5 ibid]
and the Bright and Morning star which is very explicitly Venus.
Who were the Magoi?
The magi first appear in recent history around the 7th century
BC, in the Median empire [ref. Herodotus I;ci], and by the late
1st century BC they formed the upper house of the council of the
Megistanes, whose duties included the election of the king of
the Parthian empire [ref. Strabo,XI,ix,3]. These Magi[Gk. magoi]
were adept judicial astrologers [Gk. astrologia ioudisiariav]
from the Parthian empire, whose lands included those of Persia,
Bactria, and other areas east of the Euphrates. Many an ancient
magi boasted of Abra(ha)mic descent [ref. Mclintock & Strong's
Cyclopaedia], thus their recognition of Messiah's "royal star"
is not at all surprising, but rather, HE WAS EXPECTED!! The
historian's Josephus, Tacitus and Suetonius all noted the wide-
spread expectation that the time for Messiah was at hand. These
discerning Magi had for centuries understood Daniel's "70 Weeks"
prophecy, thus they'd acted accordingly upon their own witness
from Babylon to this expected "royal star" signifying His birth.
Remember also that Gabriel had revealed the 70 Weeks prophecy to
Daniel in Babylon, and the day that Ezra left Babylon started
the prophetic clock ticking down Gabriel's 7 + 62 contiguous
sabbatic years to John Baptizing and 7 Hebrew calendar months
afterwards, from Ezra's first Rosh ha-Shannah and Jubilee in
Jerusalem to the baptism of Messiah the Prince; see the pattern?
The empire-wide registration [Luke 2:1] which was occurring at
the time of Jesus' birth is directly linked to the activities
and eventual death of king Herod I called "the Great". These
documented events are very thoroughly examined in Chapter 4.
There's a passage in Luke which refers to the shepherds guarding
their flocks by night. They'd work in shifts, keeping their
watches around the clock, night and day, thus it is specific
that this was the nightwatch on duty when the angel appeared:
"And shepherds were in the country the very living in the fields
and guarding watches of the night upon the flock of them. And
angel of Lord stood upon them and glory of Lord gleamed around
them, and they feared fear great; and said to them the angel Not
*you* be fearing, look! for I am declaring good news to *you*
joy great which will be to all the people, because was born to
*you* today Savior who is Christ Lord in the city of David; and
this to *you* sign, *you* will find infant having been swaddled
and lying in manger."--Luke 2:8-12 WH-ITGS
The fields in the region of Bethlehem have for more than four
millennia been the domain of humble shepherds. It is customary
to withdraw the flocks from the open districts and house them
over the winter months, sending them out again around Passover,
at which time the shepherds guarded their flocks constantly to
protect them from theft and predators, and also to keep them
from straying. The first rain usually comes by Cheshvan [Oct-
Nov], and is the signal for the flocks to be herded to shelter.
Snow is not at all unusual during the winter months in these
regions, with cold winter nights and no suitable pasturage
from November through February forcing the animals indoors.
For reference, the ancient Hebrew calendar days leading up to
John the Baptist's birth and Jesus the Nazarene's birth are
charted below with reference to the molad for each month:

A Rhetorical question is a completely valid device in argumentation, too bad you never went to college and learned that for yourself, Min.

Two points:
1) PGP signing posts should be reserved for the case when the author wants to guarantee that the post came
from them and was not forged or modified in any way. No one else on the planet would want to take credit
for your crap, Min.
2) A PhD is an earned degree, it's pretty sad that you now feel the need to give yourself credit on Usenet
for something that you are not capable of achieving in real life.
For those Usenet newbies who might not be familiar with Danny Min; this guy has been posting his crap to
Usenet for years. So many people killfiled him, that he has taken to munging his email addy to get
attention. Min is such a kook that even kooks who still believe in the pseudoscience of astrology think
he's a kook. Kind of a kook squared (k^2).

O.K. Here is a non rhetorical question. How do you know?

Let me guess, you got the message "too many lines". I tried
using my Xnews "score.ini" file entries to no avail. I kept
experimenting with it though, and found that Enable Regular
Expressions must be checked to activate and recognize these
scoring entries. To top that off, I use Hamster to download
a few lines of message bodies for context-sensitive scoring.
There are certain words that only trolls, stalkers, and the
usual riffraff tend to use repeatedly in their message body.
I've had one stalker who's repeated the same disinformation
gobbledygook so many times that I think it's a software bot
that automatically replies to every post I've made over the
last two years or so. That's gotta be a usenet world record.
Nowadays, each poster needs to have my permission for their
posts or replies even to appear in my newsgroup browser win-
dow, since serious posters rarely if ever use such red-flag
keywords that only trolls and their sockpuppets tend to use.
It sure makes these newsgroups a lot quieter than they used
to be, and any time that a troll manages to slither past my
admittedly elaborate killfile net, they're never seen again.
Most of my scoring is done in Xnews, but nfilter or hamster
are also useful for tagging the posts that interest you, by
adding a prefix to articles from a particular poster, or by
any other extended XOVER header criteria, provided your isp
allows extended or non-standard message headers, as most do.
For anyone who does a lot of original writing & posting via
unmoderated usenet newsgroups, essentially, e-publishing to
the newsgroup archives, as I've been doing since March 1998,
where else can you publish your own uncensored material for
free? Deja News, then Google, etc., whomever archives these
newsgroup posts, fact is, all of my books and articles will
remain online for a very long time after the other websites
become extinct. By judiciously filtering out the trolls and
stalkers, I find it a lot easier to stay focused on my work.
I try to answer serious inquiries albeit serious posters on
usenet newsgroups are one in a million and that's on a good
day. Most are too asinine to engage in substantive dialogue,
but now I can get more work done without their interuptions.
Enjoy!
