Of course. Astrology is a science. The Planets represent enrmous centres of energy and their electromagnetic field at any point in time, from the perspective of their configuration, affects the energies on the Earth. At the point of birth these energies most strongly imprint on a new born baby.
Just imagine the river tide, it is affected by the position of the moon, a fairly small planet; how much must the rest influence each and every aspect of our lives!
When it comes to psychics, my opinion is quite different. Many are imposters. Someone with real spiritual abilities would not even like to be labelled with the term. I would like to believe that I was given exceptional gifts of spirituality, but would feel insulted if people called me psychic, because my spirituality is scientific.
So, coming back to the scientific variety, like good and competent astrologers and spiritually gifted people, they are unlikely to follow an organised religion, because they build their knowledge on logic.
I personally am Rational Spirituality, and so are some very intelligent and educated astrologer friends I have.
The mumbo-jumbo people in the cathegory that you outlined ma have any of the religions. I have come across many who will in the morning go to a Roman Catholic mass, and in the evening practice crystal healing via spiritual forces. In principle the two are incompatible due to the Catholic dogma.
I hope I had answered your question.
Rational Spirituality is available on the Dhaxem website. It is the thinking people's belief.

No - but if you love someone it's natural to want to know more about them - so the Bible is a good place to learn things about God - have you tried the SONG OF SONGS (attributed to Solomon) - it's a real eye opener - full of passion and love! The books of WISDOM and SIRACH are also thought-provoking: first read them when I was 16 and have never forgotten the power of the messages. The New Testament is where God becomes loving and forgiving as opposed to scary and vengeful, in the form of Jesus Christ. I often wonder why this 'change of style' occurs, since it implies that God changes ( = learns? ) in some way over a period of time - odd for an omniscient being to change and learn I've always thought - but I like Jesus a lot better than the nasty, jealous, bloodthirsty and tyrannical old guy in the Old Testament! Only my views! Remember that PEOPLE wrote the Bible - and people, in my experience, always cock things up and substitute, or at least insinuate their own prejudices and beliefs alongside the 'clean and clear' messages and truths they were supposed to be recording for posterity. Some things never change!

I would say, in general, they tend to believe in a more non religious God...a divine source, if you will...recognizing truths at the core of a lot of religions, but not adopting any particular one.

Some do, some don't. Some are Christian, some are Pagan, some are none.
Divination is not necessarily connected to the religion of the practitioner.

I think you will find that religions, and especially fanatical religions, tend to separate and divide people, whiles spirituality brings people together. Please don’t confuse religion for Spirituality!
Thank God that Spirituality is on the increase!

There are a fair number, I might add, that believe mostly in money and making a cheap buck.
Many are still genuine.

Nice of you to lump them all together. Here's a shocker... they're just as individual as everyone else on the planet and they have their own disbeliefs and beliefs.

Yes. They belong to all different religions, just like you ungifted folks do.
