Scripture mentions that he was living in a house as a young child when the Magi came to visit. I don't know the correct interpretation, but it seems logical since the sign was given to the Magi at his birth and then they began to seek him.
"Magi" refers to alchemy of its day which included astronomy/astrology.
Making an order of the heavens, said to be reflected here on earth.
Jerusalem, being at the time, considered 'the naval of the world' as it's geo epicenter was chosen as the main entry point of souls. The date was determined by the stars and the date selected for its importance.
THIS is why the 'magi' were predictors of the event.
Yet 'magi' are considered anti-thema to the church now.
The Roman Catholic church determined that the Solstice would become the birthday of their own messiah as a Julian.

Fun fact
Christ was not born in the winter.
All that aside..........it's a traditional meme associated with change as the Ides of March.
You know why 'christ's birth' WAS placed Dec. 25th right? How did they get such a thing 'wrong'? It's about the date.
Feast of Sol Invictus, the Roman sun god.
