When one closely reads the bible , it appears that the bible  is simply stories of the stars.  A mix of astronomy as well as astrology.
The son, the twins, the virgin , the lion, the fish , etc..all there in the heavens. The "12" tribes of Israel
and 12 disciples. Like an ancient TV in the sky they watched as the pictures changed and built stories around them.
From the beginning God was to have said that they were to look to the heavens for "signs".
 
"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:"
- Genesis 1:14 in King James Version of The Bible
 
Even Jesus gave reference to the stars for signs.
 
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
- Luke 21:25-27 in the King James Version of The Bible
 
The bible was simply a telling of the stories in the stars and the story of Jesus was a story made up to fulfill one of those prophecies from the sky.The Mayans did basically the same thing as well as many other civilizations.

Re: Is the bible really a book about the stars?
Hmm. Very debatable (I mean that in a good way) b/c to skim your post, it sounds very likely. But then the Bible is very in-depth. Like some of the writers weren't in on the idea that it was about stars or something...so then maybe not.

There are astrologers in the Bible.  But they don't hold a candle (i.e., book of Daniel) when it comes to people--prophets--who actually hear from the living God.
