The word for star was aster or astor which can mean a heavenly event. That opens up many possibilities.
Standing - Earth moves faster, object (planet) seems to go backward. In between, it stops or stands.
Rising - with the Sun
The star they saw in the East stood and rose before them --
The event they calculated or saw back in the East involved the "s" pattern a planet can make, and it involved
something rising with the Sun (maybe Venus). The Moon did pass in front of Jupiter but that could not be "seen".
They could calculate these things a year or two (or more) in advance. So the astrological chart for April 17, 6 BC,
must have been impressive to the top scientists in the world at the time, who were astrologers.

There were half a dozen important conjunctions involving Jupiter (The KIng), Venus (House of Israel), a a few others, all in the two or three years around 6 BC, prior to Herod's death. Some of the occultations occurred in the East, some in the West, some involved retrograde movement. All pointed to a new king of the Jews. Sky and Telescope had a long article about it. There are other theories as well.

Venus and Jupiter conjunction 2023: When and how to see
https://www.sciencefocus.com › Space


1 hour ago — On 1 and 2 March, Venus and Jupiter will be less than one degree apart in the sky. That's equivalent to the width of your pinkie when held out ...

AND in Pisces:

Jupiter is currently in the constellation of Pisces. The current Right Ascension of Jupiter is 00h 40m 46s and the Declination is +03° 10' 17” (topocentric coordinates computed for the selected location: Greenwich, United Kingdom [change]). The current magnitude of Jupiter is -2.11 (JPL).
