The Star of Bethlehem: The Star is the Sun by Robert Tippett

Our presenter, Robert Tippett, has calculated the birth chart for the historical Jesus. Initially, this was not a project he thought to tackle. Instead, it was a dawning with an inner drive to find out how to begin to figure out when Jesus could have been born. The result was a phenomenal chart that must be shared. The validity of the chart is supported by the ‘Christmas stories’ in the Bible, as well as by scholars who have examined the timeline of Herod the Great in depth. Robert offers the research that led him to this chart, making some basic assumptions that logic says would have to be true. This presentation showcases a birth chart (with variations) that even novice students of astrology should find remarkable. Based on Biblical information and knowledge of the Hebrew calendar and festivals, a couple of transit or event charts for his death and resurrection will also be included. Robert feels this chart is an opinion that needs to be tested, because there are no birth certificates for Jesus waiting to be found.
About our presenter, Robert Tippett
Robert was born and raised in Atlanta. He’s a Scorpio Sun in the 10th house. Robert became interested in astrology in 1976, finding out about M.A.A.S. in 1978. He joined M.A.A.S. and took some basic courses offered by leaders of the group. In 1991, he planned to become certified, and studied through astrologers at M.A.A.S. He underwent testing in October 1991 and passed. He then purchased a business license from the City of Atlanta for 1992, to be able to say, “Certified and licensed astrologer.” Robert practiced as a professional astrologer sparingly. Due to career coming first, astrology became a private hobby.
In 1998, Robert moved to Arlington, TX . After April 1, 2001, insight about Traditional Planetary Rulership led to speaking on that topic at the Houston NGCR affiliate. After the events of 9/11/2001, insight into the meaning of The Prophecies of Nostradamus became a life changing commitment for him. He spoke about The Future According to Nostradamus in Houston, as well as the North Texas Astrological Society, in Fort Worth. During that time, he defended Nostradamus before an organized group of North Texas Skeptics, in Dallas.
While beginning to translate the quatrains of Nostradamus in a local coffee shop, Robert developed a following from doing Tarot readings, putting up a sign that said, “Free Readings For Fools … All Others $5.” He found that work to be most rewarding on a spiritual level.
In 2003, he returned to Atlanta and spoke at M.A.A.S. about The Future According to Nostradamus. On August 1, 2005, he moved to Waveland, MS and shortly thereafter experienced Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, He lost all his possessions and was Ignored by F.E.M.A. due to having no proof of residency.
Robert has published multiple books explaining The Prophecies of Nostradamus between 2006 and 2012. He became a publisher – Katrina Pearls – in 2010. He spoke about The Astrology of Nostradamus in Fort Worth, Chattanooga, TN, and M.A.A.S. in 2011. In late 2016, insight about the birth of Jesus and discovering an amazing natal chart for him led to courses presenting The Astrology of the Holy Bible to a church in Colombia, MS. In 2017 the same topic was presented to a church in Mount Airy, NC. In 2020,he published The Star of Bethlehem: The Timing of the Life of Jesus.
From understanding how to read Nostradamus, the same divine syntax applies to the writings of the Holy Bible. Since 2009, websites have been created where articles explaining Nostradamus and Scripture have been made freely available. In 2020, Bus Stop Sermons published prior on websites were published as four books in a series “From the Untrained Mind.” In 2025, the Scripture explanations are posted on www.katrinapearls.com, with the Nostradamus explanations posted on www.katrinapearls.wordpress.com, accessed through www.jean-de-chavigny.com.
