No.
Acts 19: 18 & 19: "And many of those who had become believers would come and confess and report their practices openly. 19 Indeed, quite a number of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them up before everybody. And they calculated together the prices of them and found them worth fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 Thus in a mighty way the word of Jehovah kept growing and prevailing."

Honey we do not think, we know God does not approve of astrology, tarot cards, fortune telling and many more. Some of these things are written in the Book of Daniel and I think Samuel or the Book of Kings (I'm sorry I don't remember the exact chapter) but honestly it's for your own information. Please take the time to read it.
God says the future is a secret and secrets belong to him so the Devil decieves the people by telling them that it's not true we can know the future and that's why people go to these people but guess what sicne the devil is the one "revealing" the future it's not accurate and that's what people don't want to believe or accept. You want God to be with you, do not confront the devil for anything and yes people this includes witchcraft (practiced all over the world)

If you believe that God approves of scientific enquiry into what makes people tick, if you believe God approves of psychotherapy, analysis, psychology and psychiatry, then you should logically see no problem with primitive attempts to find answers to questions that face all of us every day. The science that comes up with longer lifespans also produces ever more efficient and terrible ways of taking life - where do you stand on this issue in terms of supernatural approval?

I believe God gives you a free agency while your on earth. It's up to you to do what you think is right or wrong. I'm a Christian, I also enjoy astrology. I wouldn't base my life on it though. It's just fun to look at. I don't see the tie between Christianity and astrology. One is religion based and the other is entertainment based.

It doesn't matter what Christians think as to what God approves. But what matters is what God SAYS about these things in His Word - The Bible. Both are spiritually not allowed for a Christian to follow and are deceptive and harmful to non-christians too.

I think it depends on how reliant you are on the fortune telling. I think the value of tarot and astrology is the study of the symbols and relating them to your own life, to understand yourself better. That is why God put us here, to try to understand. If you are "addicted" to anything and over-reliant on it, that is not a good thing.

Well he told the folks to look to the stars for the sign of the coming messiah...and sure enough the North Star was the means by which they navigated to find Baby Jesus. With that information, if we apply general christian logic,
I would say the answer is ......
HELL NO!!

Absolutely not. The Bible speaks quite plainly in its commandments not to consult a medium or a spiritist or a witch. It's written in several places, not just in one instance.

Absolutely not! These are from the devil and you should not entertain such things as they are dangerous. You would be opening up yourself to evil spirits. Read the bible on these things.
