It is interesting to note that the Magi belonged to the "old school" of
astrologers who actually made astronomical observations before drawing
their conclusions.  In fact, they may have been the last such, since if
you compare the birthdates given for each zodiacal sign in the newspaper
horoscopes with the actual position of the sun on those dates, it becomes
clear that no one has updated those charts for about 2,000 years.
