Johann Kepler. In his peculiar genius (for he
showed that the births OF Enoch. Moses Cyrus.
Caesar. Charlemagne and Luther we're preceded
by important astrological eventsl, led the way In
calling attention to the astronomical phenomena
that preceded the birth Of Christ. He pointed
out that there must have been n conjunction OF
the planets Jupiter and Saturn at about the
time OF Christ's birth. and even made few pre-
liminary calculations to prove his case The con.
junction occurred In the sign Pisces from time

Israel conjunction In that sign always signi.
fed the rising OF some mighty master OF the
Jewish race. Such a conjunction OF Jupiter and
Saturn occurs once In about 500 years II was,
therefore. sufficiently extraordinary In Kepler's
eyes TO herald the birth OF a Messiah.
Not until 1926 was kepler's suggestion serl.
ously considered by astronomers. In that year
Professor ldeler. OF Berlin, computed the posi-.
tions OF Jupiter and Saturn and proved that they
were actually In conjunction In b. c. His cal.
cuatons showed that they at no time over.
Tapped TO form single star. but that they we're
separated by distance equal to the apparent
diameter OF the moon. Accordingly, Ideler had
the temcrity to suppose that the wise men saw
the two planets as one star. because they we're
mlraculously near.sighted. In justice to ldeler,
II must be stated that he abandoned his theory
when Encke. In 1881 repeated the calculations
and found that the actual distance between Jupi.
ter and Saturn when nearest each other In u. c.
7, was more than the apparent diameter OF the
moon
Apart from the fact that Jupiter and Saturn
were never sufficiently near each other to be
seen as one body, two planets in conjunction
can hardly be called star. Nor Is It likely that
experienced Chaldean astrologers would so re.
gard t. Moreover there we're other planetary
conjunctions ut about the same time Professor
Stockwell has demonstrated that conjunction
OF Venus and Mars occurred on May Sth. - C.
