It was a prophecy. The zodiac, which is in origin probably of hebrew origin, has 12x main signs + 3x12 . One of the symbols, was a virgin. So, even the zodiac prophecied this.
The Babylonian magushe (magians) knew this and they could, using the constellation and the signs, look for the Messiah. (Since the virgin was at sky at a certain point and showed a new born star)
