what's up with the thumbs down, I thought it was a legitimate question.
If God created everything, couldn't he create this type of thing?

You can find your astrology answers in The King James Holy Bible .. See all of the following scriptures **********Book of Isaiah 47 : 13 *****Book of Daniel , Chapter 1 verse 20 , Chapter 2 , verses 2 , 10 , 27 , Chapter 4 verse 7 , Chapter 5 verses 7 , 11 , 15..... In all these verses you will see that God challenges those who have put their faith in astrologers , and shows them that there is no power that surpasses God`s ability . Therefore, no confidence should be put into their abilities to do the things that only God can do !!

absolutely not!!
most "mystical" things that are based upon Biblical facts.
However, I would caution you. The Bible says (a paraphrase please) "You don't know what you're playing with so DON'T!!"
I was amazed at the truth I saw in reading my astrological readings in the paper!
But I began to wonder, "Why would God tell me not to play with it?"
First, because it could hurt me.
Second, and this may be hard for you but please try to hear me, "As the creator of humans He is aware of our strengths and weaknesses. Also, He knows what we can 'handle.'"
You wouldn't expect a three year old to fully understand the aspects of a sharp knife. He sees you cutting yet can't fathom the possability of being hurt by doing it himself!! If you think I'm wrong examine your own situation or those of your friends. A three year old doesn't really grasp the concept of danger. Sure, as an abstract of nebulous concept however not connected to itself. You can talk all day long and it's responses reveal it really does lack the ability to comprehend the essential danger.
Since God is God and we are human, isn't it logical He "Knows" things we can't grasp??
So yes, I believe there is some form of truth in astrology just as I believe it's possible to talk to "spirits."
Personally, my interest is tempered by my belief, "There is a reason I'm told to not play in that playground."

The bible says you will see signs and wonders in the stars before the birth of Christ the three Magi (wise men) followed the star to his birth place many signs have been shown through the stars but the bible say not to live your life by them meaning do not let the stars control your life giving up your free will to a power other then what power God gives you you can choose your destiny heaven or hell

Not at all. Christianity is the acceptance of the sacrifice that Christ made for us upon the cross. Many people get hung up on many things that make no sense. One thing to remember is that God created the stars and the heavens. God set them upon their path. God created the Earth and gave us the elements. Why would He be upset if we study the things that he gave us? Study what interests you. Worship God who gave you both your interest and your ability to study. Jesus said to give unto Cesar what is Cesar's and unto God what is God's.
Keep life in perspective.... it is not an either or situation. God gave the water it's power to reshape the land. God gave the wind it's power to move. God gave fire it's awesome power to destroy. There is nothing at all wrong in observing the world God gave to you and admiring it. Just remember that God created them. They are not there to take his place in your heart.

in the Bible, God puts the stars in the sky for signs
Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
JOb 38:31-32 "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons.
It was a star that led the wisemen to Jesus.
There is nothing wrong with studying the stars. I just think that astrology as we know it today is different from Biblical times.
If you do some research on the subject, you can find that the coming of Christ was written in the stars.

its not anti christian.
after all, the God that created you gave you the power of choice.
that's why we have judges.
we are judged based on our choices. we determine our destiny, the direction of our lives.
if you make decisions based on the above, and they turn out to be false, well, God is no respecter of persons.. so you would pay.
but, true, in the Old Testament, God commanded us not to associate with such.
we are still meant to uphold that in the New Testament.

Astrology is a perverted copy of the Real Thing.
GOD put that Stuff up there for Signs.
And because HE Loves us.
the devil copied and twisted it.
Soulish Power is Real. But GOD wants us to Learn how to Operate out of our Spirits, with HIM Helping.
More Powerful.
There are Power Flows that GOD put in the Earth---some call them Ley Lines.
Only if you Seek GOD First on how all of This Stuff Works, you will not go astray and you Will Learn how These Things Work in a GODly way.

Yes. God forbids true Christians to have anything to do with them. The wise men were astrologers. But they were not from God as many people think. They reported to King Herod. Only by means of a dream, did they turn from Herod and leave. Yes God has nothing to do with psychics or astrology.

Well it goes against the belief of Christianity yes. I do believe in the power of the spirit and mind over matter and you can use your mind to do incredible things. Astrology is some crap science made up by gypsies for use in there so called "fortune practices". It's not real and people who believe in horoscopes are wasting there times. It is fun though to know what your sign is but to really believe in it? Yea right.....

Christians will probably say astrology is of the occult and should not be dabbled in. So, I guess it would be anti-christian to believe there is truth in astrology.
Astrology is actually all about planetary alignment and it's effect on human behavior, so I don't see why it would be sacriligeous, but that's just me.
