A Christian can "look" at them but not get involved in or believe in them. Those are all occult means of divination and the Bible condemns seeking to know the future apart from a divine revelation from God himself.

Never have anything to do with Tarots or Horoscopes. The Zodiac was put in the Heavens to describe God's Plan of Salvation. There are any number of books available at the Bible stores by M Hickey,
D. James Kennedy, and E. W. Bullinger. Probably a lot others but I haven't seen them.

Good morning,
I'm Christian, studied in the manuscripts;
They say that the entire plan of God is written in the sky; however, obviously you aren't to make a "religion" out of it, but an awareness and a study in Astrology or any of the Sciences is very good - God does not want people to be ignorant. As far as Tarot cards go, well, I quess it depends on whether its for fun, or if you choose to make some religion out of that.
In all these things, it just comes down to what you are really intending to do with the information. Its kinda like getting a hammer.
You can build a wonderful building with it; or, you can hit someone on the head with it.
It just depends on how you use it. Thats what the truth of Gods Word says.

I am not Christian but Spiritualist and I don't believe that God forbids us to do anything. We have to decide for ourselves what experiences we should have in our lives. Tarot is just a set of cards, zodiac signs are the placing of the sun at the time of our birth and have been used for thousands of years - what can be wrong with that?

The Bible does not forbid these things specifically but it does forbid sorcery, consulting mediums, etc. which are the generic terms for zodiac, tarot, and etc. Try looking up Deuteronomy 18:10 and 2 Kings 21:6.

I would most definitely say so, as a christian we believe that our future/destiny is sculpted by God's Devinne plan for our lives.
Though zodiac signs and tarot reading do predict the future and are to do with "the stars or some type of spirituality etc." there is no direct link between them and God.
And the Bible does speak of false Prophets.

The things that you have named are part of witchcraft, and the Bible says that all those who practice witchcraft will go to hell unless they repent. Witchcraft is condemned in both the Old and the New Testaments by name. Witchcraft is any means used to get to God other than Jesus Christ. Any system of belief that does not accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and the only way to heaven is directly involved in witchcraft. There are many churches that call themselves Christian that practice witchcraft because they teach that there is more than one way to get to heaven.

You might be interested to learn that archaeologists are discovering many signs of the Zodiac in ancient synagogues. It has been suggested that the 12 disciples are derived from the Zodiac.

As you can see from your answers, about half who think they know, don't (there are about half on either side, and both can hardly be right) I suppose they are not all using the same book, and so are not all worshiping the same mighty one! The only way of Salvation is through the truths of Scripture. Not the errors of Churchianity!
