Perhaps a better question would be how many put faith in the horoscope and believe it truly holds answers for them. I believe that you can read the horoscopes for 'entertainment value' without putting any credence into them. Are there Christians who do, I'm sure there is, but I would not be among them.
Peace.

No, why read something that was either (1) made up over a cup of coffee or (2) tells you who you supposedly are and what you are supposedly going to do as if we live in some rigid prison of a world??
Life is meant to be lived beyond those kind of limitations...
Jesus said ..."the wind blows where ever it wishes and you hear the sound it makes but you do not know where it is going or where it comes from. It is like that with everyone born of the Spirit. " John 3v8
Contrary to popular belief Jesus sets us free so that we are no longer slaves to sin (and this world)

I never read any horoscopes. It's a waste of time, and in a way seems to make people more dependent on them rather than trusting in God's plan for them.

I used to in my early years as a christian, but I've realized that reading your horoscope shows a lack of faith that God is in control of your life.

I'm Wiccan and I don't even read my horoscope on a regular basis! But I know what you're getting at. ;-)

As a Christian, the Lord directs me to His Word and His Prophecies. Going to other spiritual sources would get me in trouble.

Deuteronomy 18: 9-14: "“When you are entered into the land that Jehovah your God is giving you, you must not learn to do according to the detestable things of those nations. 10 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, 11 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. 12 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. 13 You should prove yourself faultless with Jehovah your God.
14 “For these nations whom you are dispossessing used to listen to those practicing magic and to those who divine; but as for you, Jehovah your God has not given you anything like this.
2 Timothy 3: 16 & 17: "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."
1 Corinthians 10: 11: "Now these things went on befalling them as examples, and they were written for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have arrived."
Isaiah 48:17 & 18: " This is what Jehovah has said, your Repurchaser, the Holy One of Israel: “I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit [yourself], the One causing you to tread in the way in which you should walk. 18 O if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become just like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea."
I believe in applying what I learn in the Bible to my life, and if God says something is wrong for us to do, he knows what he is talking about, so to go against that which I have learned displeases God would be of no benefit to me. So, of course I am not one that ever reads a horoscope now. I did, though, before I learned that it is detestable to God.

No mature Christian would read it. Instead they should be reading God word it tells us all we need to know. Past, present and future.
Witchcraft and astrology both are of Satan

Don't see the point in it. I believe my future is in the hands of God.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
