Does it say in the bible that your future is in the stars. And is the month you were born in linked in anyway to the 12 tribes of Juda? I don't believe in the astrological signs but I've heard other people say there is some biblical base to them. Is this true and if so were in the bible does it say so?

I'm not sure specifically if it did say "the future is in the stars", but I do know that the bible does condemn astrological phenomenon, as well as fortune tellers, spiritism, etc... here's a quote from Isaiah47:13 "You have grown weary with the multitude of your counselors. Let them stand up, now, and save you, the worshipers of the heavens, the lookers at the stars, those giving out knowledge at the new moons concerning the things that will come upon you."
so here the bible is explicitly spelling out that those who partake in these activities would be wise to stay clear of these acts.

No, the Bible doesn't teach that your future is in the stars (nor does it teach the month you were born is linked to the 12 tribes of Judah). The next time someone tells you otherwise, let them quote the passage from the scriptures. Otherwise if they tell you that it's in there somewhere, just regard it as rubbish (because that's what it is - rubbish!). If anything, the Bible condemns practices like divination (and astrology falls under this) as evil.

No, it does not say your future is in the stars, and the month you were born in is not linked to the 12 tribes of Judah. There is absolutely no Biblical base to astrology, at all.

There is nothing in the Bible for either situation. It sounds a lot like a tradition, as opposed to Scripture.
I did find this, though: "Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: the Lord is his name:" (Amos 5:8)

Is it Biblical? Yes. The Bible warns you to saty away from it.
Exodus 7:11
Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts:
Jeremiah 27:9
So do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums or your sorcerers who tell you, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’
Daniel 2:2
So the king summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers to tell him what he had dreamed. When they came in and stood before the king,
Malachi 3:5
“So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty.
Deuteronomy 18:10
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,
Deuteronomy 18:14
The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so.
Acts 8:9
Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,
Acts 8:11
They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his sorcery.
Acts 19:19
A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.

i haven't seen it in there, but if it did, it would be reffering that your future doesn't lie with men. personally i don't think there's much astrology in what you're talking about. but the 12 tribes and months are linked, but i don't think a specific month for a specific tribe. you'll have me doing some research tonight.

I am not sure what part of the bible it is in, Old Testament somewhere, God says that all that stuff is not for us to believe in. Psychics, astrology, etc. Do not put your faith in these things. Yes, it can be very real, but it is not the knowledge The Lord wants you to get into.

I honestly don't know the answer to this specific question, but you can look up keywords and scripture at unbound.biola.edu.
The Bible speaks against astrology as sinful and demonic, so I can't believe what you're saying would be in there. But you can check.

I don't recall any link between Judah and astrology, but you would find it in the first five books of the old testament if it says so anywhere. Also, there is only one tribe of Judah among nine others - 10 tribes total.

I can find no such text in the Bible.
The month you were born in has nothing to do with the tribes, are you implying that all sons of Judah were born in a certain month. And how does that apply to people who have no ancestral connection to Israel?
