This is an adaptation of the celestial twins who according to ancient legend would have stars on their brows. The ancients were somewhat fond of puns or word play which is why there is so much confusion in interpretation. Some take things literally and others though recognizing that things stated are not literal fail to correctly interpret what the symbology may be and what its connection to other symbols and words may be. For instance the word beast can also refer to a monster or dragon. If you look up the word monster you can see that it means or is related to the word demonstrate or a signal; sign. "Raise a signal upon a hill." Brow can also mean a hill or mound. The word monster if broken down into two words, mon(s) and ster may be interpreted as mound and star. Interestingly, there is an artist's rendition of this showing the star of Bethleham resting on a mound.
