Jupiter starts its retrograde motion every 399 days and then spends 121 days in that motion. So every 1.1 years, Jupiter spends 30% of its time in retrograde motion. Odds are pretty high that part of that retrograde motion will take place in Virgo (about every three years or so.)
Right they are planets, they appear in Leo giving it enough stars to make 12.What 'three wandering stars in Leo' are you referring to? The constellation itself is fixed. There is no apparent motion of the stars the make up Leo.
The only 'wandering stars' we can see are the planets in our solar system. Are you referring to them?

How is that a debunking? Of course elements of the sign have appeared before, but they weren't ever the whole of the sign itself.
This was nearly as bad as the person who declared in a thread that it was debunked by some professor who claimed it's already occurred around 5 times in history (meaning this one has no real value either), but when looking at the other supposed 5 times, every single instance not only was different from the 9/23 alignment, but they were also all different from each other.
The rapture may or may not take place around those days, but it is definitely the Rev 12 sign being shown to us.
I couldn't find on wiki where it gives the odds or the regularity of this sign. The closest I found was this "Jupiter appears in the part of Virgo corresponding to her womb, along with the sun in Virgo and the moon at her feet for a day or two every 12 years or so.""
Look at a constellation chart. Leo is above the head of Virgo. The date of Christ's birth can be established by the very astrological alignment of Rev 12.Says who? Based on what?
Jupiter's relationship to Virgo is fixed. Its ecliptic is such that it will always pass through Virgo's belly, seen form our location.
So, we are back to the fact that Jupiter is in retrograde motion for about 1/3 of EVERY year. That 1/3 of every year will result in Jupiter's retrograde motion in Virgo's belly about every third year.
Where are the twelve stars around the woman's head that constitute here crown? This latest theory has the twelve stars in Leo rather than Virgo.
What do you mean the latest theory? There's been talk around this coming sign for a number of years now, and no part of it has changed. The 9 primary stars of Leo and the 3 planets, or wandering stars. You do understand our word 'planet' comes from planetai meaning 'wandering stars', right?
Do a Google image search on the constellation Leo, then count the stars that form the different images of Leo. Then come back and tell me how many stars form the image.

But only so many stars actually make up the form of the constellation (Leo in this case.)There are millions of stars in every constellation. Constellation patterns and associations varied across the world.
It describes what the Magi saw. They saw Jupiter and Venus in conjunction in Leo along with Mercury and that was counted as a crown of 12 stars. Subtract the 3 wandering stars and you get 9.
