And being led by the "Bethlehem Star" does not mean they are practicing Astrology. You are implying something that is unlikely.
The prophecies regarding the coming of the Messiah has been foretold in the Old Testament, which is, the Jewish Scriptures. You can look at, for example, in Isaiah chapter 9.
