This series of classes will look deeper at the Christmas stories found in Matthew and Luke. It will address the Biblical reflections on astrology as a tool of divination, both warnings against and allowances for. It will offer those who join a grasp of Western astrology (Ptolemaic system), how it works as a tool of divination, and a general explanation of the reasoning behind science’s rejection of astrology. Each student will be presented with an astrological birth chart and full natal report (computer generated), based on native birth data (date; time; place). The sacred art of astrology will be shown to only have accuracy as a tool of divine prophecy through God’s Holy Spirit. That sacred use is then found projected in the Christmas story of Matthew, through the Magi. From understanding the Biblical clues of Jesus’ birth (beyond the Christmas stories), as well as analyzing the historic evidence that comes from Judaic and Roman records, detailed in scholastic research that pertains to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, Robert will present an educated hypothesis as to the actual birthdate of Jesus, based on the Star of Bethlehem. An astrological analysis of a theoretical birth chart for Jesus will then compare the personality traits of a “native” born on that date (astrologically) with the known character displayed by Jesus in the Gospels. This analysis (hopefully) will fill the students with an inner joy, such that they will be filled like the shepherds and the Magi, and treasure all these things, pondering them in their hearts, as did Mary.
