Is it a sin to use astrology?

This discussion invites Christians to examine whether astrology and zodiac practices align with biblical teachings. While astrology historically intertwined with astronomy and was used by ancient societies to interpret cosmic events, the Bible contains passages warning against divination and relying on the stars for guidance. By exploring historical and biblical perspectives, this conversation encourages believers to consider if astrology conflicts with a God-centered worldview or if it can be regarded as harmless curiosity.

Astrology and zodiac signs have become increasingly popular in recent years, with many people turning to horoscopes for guidance on relationships, careers, and life choices. But for Christians, the question arises: Is it a sin to use astrology? The Bible has passages that address celestial bodies like the stars, planets, and constellations, often highlighting their beauty and purpose in revealing God’s glory. However, it also cautions against seeking guidance from sources other than God Himself, which includes divination and reliance on the stars for personal direction.

Historically, astrology and astronomy were closely linked, with early civilizations viewing the heavens as a map to understand both divine and earthly events. Ancient societies like the Babylonians and Egyptians practiced astrology as a means of interpreting cosmic movements. While astrology once held an honored place in intellectual circles, the rise of scientific discovery shifted the focus of stargazing to astronomy—the study of the universe purely as God’s creation, rather than a source of spiritual insight.

Scripturally, passages like Isaiah 47:13-14 and Deuteronomy 4:19 speak against divining personal fate or worshipping the heavens. Astrology, some argue, conflicts with a Christian worldview by implying a reliance on something other than God for wisdom and insight. Others see astrology as simply a harmless curiosity. So, should Christians consider it acceptable or sinful to follow astrology?

Since astrology is predicated on the earth being the center of the universe, relying on it might qualify as the sin of believing nonsense. I say snide things like this because I’m a Pisces and that’s just the way we are.

I think it violates codes on sorcery, necromancy, etc.

Plus, it is stupid and a Waste of time.
