“Now use your magical charms! Use the spells you have worked at all these years!
Maybe they will do you some good. Maybe they can make someone afraid of you.
All the advice you receive has made you tired.
Where are all your astrologers, those stargazers who make predictions each month?
Let them stand up and save you from what the future holds.
But they are like straw burning in a fire; they cannot save themselves from the flame. –Isaiah 47:12-14
When I was a youngster, I thought reading the horoscopes was harmless and was even proud to be a “zodiacal Taurus” ruled by planet Venus.
I wasn’t heavily into astrology. I never understood how astrologers read the planets or anything of that nature but I loved reading up on the characteristics of my zodiac sign as the traits were accurately described within certain aspects. I’d even read up on other astrological birth signs, the zodiac explanations of behavior and compatibility with other individuals were interesting.
It wasn’t until I read the bible verses about astrology and anything associated with it being forbidden that I started to heed warning. There was even a time when I threw all of my zodiac books away.
I later on began reading them from time to time after not recognizing any seemingly real threat. I did not know that horoscope reading was a trick disguised by the devil to gradually lure us people away from God and his instructions.
I never practiced astrology and would not have known where to begin. I didn’t believe that astrological charts had any affect or determination of my everyday life in connection with reading a horoscope forecast. I didn’t think it was the same as a tarot card reading.
They would be in daily newspapers and magazines but at the time I didn’t know the zodiac was deep-rooted in sorcery.
Horoscopes should not be read by Christians, and instead we should place our faith in our future by communicating with God.
Right now, I take seriously that it is dangerous, and I don’t want any part of it because the Lord is against indulging within the ancient belief. I don’t even have any desire to read the horoscope anymore I am totally repulsed by it! I feel the same way about tarot reading. I have no desire to consult a fortune-teller. I was born with second-sight but I understand that having a spiritual gift from God is not classified in the same category as divination.
Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. –1 John 4:1
Some people have genuine supernatural gifts and misuse them but I hope those who do and have will repent and return to God even if it was done unintentionally.
Astrology is geared toward mainstream society as innocent fun and harmless entertainment. I read that astrology is from paganism, the worship of planets as Gods which makes no sense to me. I knew that it was a part of new age which in reality is just all a sad form of demonic worship.
As children of God, we shouldn’t read any of that garbage or partake in any similar modes of darkness set to sneakily trap/ensnare us.
We’ll confuse spirit guides (demonic entities) with angels of light if we’re not careful getting into that crap unknowingly. Satan does masquerade himself as an angel of the light. –But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. -2 Corinthians 11:14
For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering. And do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD. It is because the other nations have done these detestable things that the LORD your God will drive them out ahead of you. -Deuteronomy 18:10-12
“Do not defile yourselves by turning to mediums or to those who consult the spirits of the dead. I am the LORD your God. -Leviticus 19:31
“I will also turn against those who commit spiritual prostitution by putting their trust in mediums or in those who consult the spirits of the dead. I will cut them off from the community.-Leviticus 20:6
“But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” -Revelation 21:8
Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie. -Revelation 22:15
