I don't.
"There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you. You should prove yourself faultless with Jehovah your God." - Deuteronomy 18:10-13.
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects, envies, drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these. As to these things I am forewarning YOU, the same way as I did forewarn YOU, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom." - Galatians 5:19-21

Christianity says that that's occult stuff and not to believe in it. Centuries ago ,many Christians began to investigate other forms of mysticism and the Catholic Church who began to notice a loss of followers put a "No-No" on forms of Astrology. The number 13 used to be considered a lucky number (it was to the Egyptians, we started with 13 colonies,etc.) but when the Catholic Church saw many people believing in its possible luck, they made it into an unlucky number. By the way "Pagan" means , country people.

I am a Christian. I read my horoscope daily. Paganism means someone who worships something othe than the God of Abraham. I do not worship horoscopes. I read them for fun and entertainment.

I am sure many Christians do this but those who are truly faithful would not because as you say it is a form of superstitous paganism, but many excuse this as harmless fun.

I am a christian and I will admit that I used to read my horoscope, then I went to this function with my church and it showed that, that is not right, that only the almighty God knows His plan and destiny for us.
18to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

A lot do. It is also a form of superstition. That's just what most religious people like.

We do not own the stars. Some use it for mere entertainment.
