Matt 2vs2&9 has Magi see a star& for reasons best know to the priest who dreamed up the story, thought that it meant a baby Jewish king had been born. So they tried the obvious place for a baby king= the capital of Jerusalem. Herod told the Magi to go 6 miles down the road to Bethlehem. They didn't need a star to guide them but the author placed one to ensure they didn't miss the road. I think the star was probably called Tinker Bell. Astronomers would have noted constellation & brightness

360 into 12 is 30 which would mean they had 5 day weeks, and 6 weeks in a month. Dogon tribes still go by the 5 day week calendar.

the ancients correctly regarded the influence of the planets and luminaries, but incorrectly regarded the mechanism behind it as the constellations.

There is a view that the zodiac signs are related to seasonal events necessary for a civilisation. A calendar in fact. Aquarius = prepare for rainy season, Pices = Go fishing, etc.
