Are horoscopes really true? Does everything they say is going to happen, really going to happen?
Just curious to know what others have to say.
Answer by Good Stuff =)
It depends if you believe in them or not.
Answer by Darius B
if you mean the horoscopes in the newspaper that give a quick daily summary for all star signs then i would say its pretty much all made up nonsense. i personally believe you cannot catergorise a person in just one star sign. there is no evidence to show that a person born under say… aries does not and is completely incapable of showing any other sign characteristic.
I have met an astrologer in real life who does charts. she said she was asked to make up horoscopes for a newspaper. so thats another aspect on it.
Say if was really true that a person is just ONE star sign. That would make the world pretty strange. For example, if an aries man is made of only fire, (spontaneous and active), would it mean he has no feeling (water), no praticality (earth) or even intelligence (air)?
Come on if someone reallly was stuck with just one of those then they would go mad and be put in a mental hospital
Answer by Nischal Kishor S
I do not believe in god but strangly I do believe in horscope because normally what said in my prediction comes quite close to the truth.
But you should be aware that once you read your prediction, your mind will start thinking or making choice to match the horscope.

i don’t necessarily believe in the day to day horoscopes, like thats going to happen tomorrow etc, thats far fetched
but your birth chart, star and sun signs as well as other aspects i do believe in
because it is very true in almost all case’s, so either its a very huge cowincadence, or very accurate!
how you act with others, romance, who you get along with etc.
its weird but really cool and gives yo insight why you act the way you do
Answer by David Firepig
I think it’s sometimes right sometimes wrong, and right with these people in this side but wrong with other people.
But actually, with me, it’s sometimes really right, specially with my personality in Chinese Zodiac, but everything is not going happen exactly!

Why are Christians so against astrology when the bible even says it’s real?
“Thy will be done on Earth as it is done in Heaven”
The heavens consist of stars and planets. God don’t make junk, so they are there for a reason. Obviously there is something to it being that REAL astrology (not like daily horoscopes) is so accurate.

Christians are hypocrites plain and simple
Answer by Jesus Freak
Please don’t generalize…. im sure not every christian is against astrology. Im not against it
Answer by Steve R
Christians don’t want anyone cutting in on their action. Their brand of superstition and mysticism is true, of course, but all the others are false and “occult.”
Answer by {h a r u k a}
Uh, I’m atheist, but when they said heavens there, I’m quite sure he meant the ways of heaven as in the place where the angels live. And the teachings of Jesus was one of the many things meant by the church to turn people away from astrology, as it was practiced in just about every region but the holy city then, to Christianity.
But that doesn’t mean every Christian today is against it.
Answer by BibleChooser
“Heaven” – when capitalized – does not refer to the stars or planets, but to the dwelling place of God. It is also quite common to find “heaven” (without capitalization) used in the identical manner. In such cases, you have to determine from the textual context which “heaven” is being discussed. In the passage you quote, it is indisputable that the “heaven” under discussion is the dwelling place of God, not the cosmos.

- are the horoscopes true how do these people know this stuff
In Hebrew “heaven” can either be the sky above us, outer space OR that special place beyond time and matter that is the abode of God.
“Thy will be done on Earth as it is done in Heaven” refers to the latter.
The Bible does not specifically discuss astrology extensively, but what it does say is always negative. For example, In the book of Daniel, the Bible makes fun of astrologers and indicates that they are powerless to really observe the future.
Elsewhere in the Bible God command His people, the nation of Israel not to practice astrology by looking at “signs of the heavens.” God calls such “signs” delusions:
Thus says the Lord, “Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens Although the nations are terrified by them; For the customs of the peoples are delusion… (Jeremiah 10:2-3)
Like many other sins, the problem with astrology is that people are trying to get answers about life’s questions from a source other than God. Many people believe that they can know the future through the location of the stars and planets. However, apart from God’s revelation, fortune telling is specifically prohibited throughout the Bible.
And that is why Christians are actually faithfully following the Bible when they choose not to have anything to do with astrology and fortune telling.
You are right however that the stars and planets are there for a reason. One of those reasons is to act as a sign that there is a creator God and another reason is that the Universe needs to be exactly the size shape and composition that it is in order to create the conditions necessary for life.
Many people have already answered this question, I’m just going to reiterate it. You’re misinterpreting the passage.
What you should be quoting is the 3 wise men knowing of the birth of Jesus. But part of the symbolism of their gifts to Jesus was that they were giving him items used in their practice, giving it up.
Actually the Bible gives support for it in many places. 🙂 The only verse that at first glance seems negative is one that says something about a tragedy, and “not even your astrologers can save you.” It doesn’t say that they weren’t able to see it coming though, just that they couldn’t stop it! LOL
At any rate, many modern astrologers – myself included – don’t believe astrology can predict beyond the archetypal realm. Nor is astrology “star worship” or a religious belief as some have suggested. It is a neutral tool that works well alongside any religion or none at all.

Moon, you have asked a great question. Here is what I think.
The Bible has much to say about the stars. Most basic to our understanding of the stars is that God created them. They show His power and majesty. The heavens are God’s “handiwork” (Psalm 8:3; 19:1). He has all the stars numbered and named (Psalm 147:4).
The Bible also teaches that God arranged the stars into recognizable groups that we call constellations. The Bible mentions three of these: Orion, the Bear (Ursa Major), and “the crooked serpent” (most likely Draco) in Job 9:9; 26:13; 38:31-32; and Amos 5:8. The same passages also reference the star group Pleiades (the Seven Stars). God is the One Who “fastens the bands” of these constellations; He is the One who brings them forth, “each in its season.” In Job 38:32, God also points to the “Mazzaroth,” usually translated “constellations.” This is thought by many to be a reference to the twelve constellations of the zodiac.
The constellations have been tracked and studied for millennia. The Egyptians and Greeks knew of the zodiac and used it to measure the beginning of spring centuries before Christ. Much has been written of the meaning of the zodiacal constellations, including theories that they comprise an ancient display of God’s redemptive plan. For example, the constellation Leo can be seen as a celestial depiction of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), and Virgo could be a reminder of the virgin who bore Christ. However, the Bible does not indicate any “hidden meaning” for these or other constellations.
The Bible says that stars, along with the sun and moon, were given for “signs” and “seasons” (Genesis 1:14); that is, they were meant to mark time for us. They are also “signs” in the sense of navigational “indicators,” and all through history men have used the stars to chart their courses around the globe.
God used the stars as an illustration of His promise to give Abraham an innumerable seed (Genesis 15:5). Thus, every time Abraham looked up at the night sky, he had a reminder of God’s faithfulness and goodness. The final judgment of the earth will be accompanied by astronomical events relating to the stars (Isaiah 13:9-10; Joel 3:15; Matthew 26:29).
Astrology is the “interpretation” of an assumed influence the stars (and planets) exert on human destiny. This is a false belief. The royal astrologers of the Babylonian court were put to shame by God’s prophet Daniel (Daniel 1:20) and were powerless to interpret the king’s dream (Daniel 2:27). God specifies astrologers as among those who will be burned as stubble in God’s judgment (Isaiah 47:13-14). Astrology as a form of divination is expressly forbidden in Scripture (Deuteronomy 18:10-14). God forbade the children of Israel to worship or serve the “host of heaven” (Deuteronomy 4:19). Several times in their history, however, Israel fell into that very sin (2 Kings 17:16 is one example). Their worship of the stars brought God’s judgment each time.
The stars should awaken wonder at God’s power, wisdom, and infinitude. We should use the stars to keep track of time and place and to remind us of God’s faithful, covenant-keeping nature. All the while, we acknowledge the Creator of the heavens. Our wisdom comes from God, not the stars (James 1:5). The Word of God, the Bible, is our guide through life (Psalm 119:105).
I’m an astrologer but I am not a preacher. This preacher, Minister William Joseph has something logical to say about astrology and the bible. It’s worthwhile listening to him. He got enlightening thoughts for the open-minded:
