The Bible warns people against relying on astrologers and astrology:
You are wearied with your many counsels; let now the astrologers, those who prophesy by the stars, those who predict by the new moons, stand up and save you from what will come upon you. Behold, they have become like stubble, fire bums them; they cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame... there is none to save you (Isaiah 47: 13-15, NASB).
Other warnings can be found in such verses as Jeremiah 10:2: "Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of Heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them." Elsewhere, the Scripture says, "And beware, lest you lift up your eyes to heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be drawn away and worship them and serve them" (Deuteronomy 4:19, NASB).
The Book of Daniel gives us a comparison between the astrologers and those dedicated to the true and living God. Chapter 1:20 reveals that Daniel and his three friends would be ten times better in matters of wisdom and understanding than the astrologers because they served the living and true God rather than the stars. When the king had a dream, the astrologers could not give an explanation for it, but rather God alone had the answer, for it is only He who can reveal the future (see Daniel 2: 27, 28).
The Scriptures make it clear that any type of astrological practice is severely condemned by God, for it attempts to understand the future through occultic means rather than through God's divinely inspired Word. The fatalistic approach of astrology, which says our lives are determined by the stars, is contradicted by Scripture, which holds us responsible for our destiny. Astrology and Christianity are simply incompatible

Not so much looking at stars to determine MY destiny, the wise men looked at Jesus' star, at his birth... <:
If Astrology was condemned by God then why did he say this?: "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as "signs" to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." Gen. 1:14. No disrespect but, I believe most Christians do not have the knowledge of Astrology with respect to the Bible. There are other positive referrances made to astrology in the Bible but most choose to see the negatives. And yes Victor, they are called "Wise Men" because they ARE wise and the Bible states: "Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them." Proverbs 4:5. To know for sure about this topic, pray to our Lord He is always willing to let the truth be known. God Bless!
Hey xpozae, I wouldn't want to get into any argument about this matter ... No disrespect, but I would rather introducing Christ and His grace rather than arguing about astrology and the bible ...
In short, I respect your say, and if you can show me that the bible as one book encourages astrology/worshipping idol, I will also show you many references in the bible where God hates witch-craft (which HE considers as idolatry) and let's be open and read the bible wholistically not just one-part at a time ...
Of course you need to believe that the bible is the "Word of God" doing that ... Do you?
