The North star is not what led the astrologers to Jesus.
Matthew chapter 2 verse 2. [astrologers speaking]
"Saying: "Where is the one born kin of the Jews? For we saw his star [when we were] in the east, and we came to do him obeisance."
They came from the East, which means that was traveling West. The North start is always in the Northern part of the sky. It was a star, but where did the star lead them first? It led them to King Harod. The Bible continues the story.
Verse 3
"At hearing this King Harod was agitated, and all Jerusalem along with him."
King Harod did not like the idea of there being another King to rule over the Jews. In verse 7, King Harod secretly summoned the astrologers he asked them to go find this king and come back to him to tell him where he was. The bible says he wanted to show obeisance too, when in fact he wanted to kill the savior.
In verse 9, the star then led them to Jesus. So first it led them to Harod, a king who was selfish. Then it led them to Jesus. In verse 12-15, The astrologers was told not to go back to Harod. And Joseph was ordered to leave and flee to Egypt.
Verse 16
"Then Harod, seeing he has been outwitted by the astrologers, fell into a great rage, and he sent out and had all the boys in Bethlehem and in all its districts done away with, from two years of age and under, according to the time that he had carefully ascertained from the astrologers."
King Harod was set to rage, that he mimiked what Pharoh had done when Jews was slaves in Egypt. Had the astrologers not seen Harod, lives would not be lost. If the star led them straight to Jesus, it would be likely that it was a true angel of light. But the star led them to Harod, so it was clear that the star did not belong to god or any of his angels.
This is the reasoning Jehovah's Witnesses use to describe to others why they don't think the star was done by a angel or god.

Are jehovas witnesses christian?
Jehovah's Witnesses indeed claim that they are Christians. Jehovah's Witnesses are "followers of Christ", implying that even if they don't claim to be Christians (which they/we do), they would be anyway. Jehovah's Witnesses indeed claim to be Christian. They accept Jesus as the son of God, being of divine nature. They believe he had a prehuman existence and came to earth to die for mankind's sins. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there can be no salvation without accepting Jesus sacrifice and honour Jesus as their King and Leader. Since to be a 'christian' means to follow Jesus' example and obey him, they preach the bible in imitation of their leader Jesus, and try to be like him in word and deed. So, yes, Jehovah's Witnesses feel they have the right to be called Christian. Any 'confusion' that has arisen in this regard may be from the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus to be God's Son and not Almighty God himself. They reject the teaching of the trinity as unscriptural. == ==
