Astrology should not even be consulted for amusement. It is connected with the forces of evil and can lead to other occult practices and bondage to sin.
Deut. 4:19
19 And when you look up into the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars—all the forces of heaven—don’t be seduced into worshiping them. The Lord your God gave them to all the peoples of the earth.
Deut 18:10
10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in [a] the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,
Isa. 47:13
13 All the advice you receive has made you tired.
Where are all your astrologers,
those stargazers who make predictions each month?
Let them stand up and save you from what the future holds.

And these verses mean what, then...?
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.
Judges 5:20
The stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Matthew 2:1-2
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Luke 21:25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars.

Many Christians follow after the Pharisees. That is a sin, too, so perhaps we should all be a bit more tolerant. Yes?

Oh please. If there is any truth to astrology it would be because "God" made it so, according to Christian belief.
Astrologers do not "worship" the heavens.
Genesis states that the stars and constellations were created "for signs."
The Magi considered the star of Bethlehem "an omen" of a king being born, according to your bible.
What you wrote is superstitious "there's a boogeyman under my bed" childish nonsense.

I corinthians 12:1-13, regarding spiritual gifts. Read it as this contradicts your verses. As a chirsitian you should go mainly by the new testament as this documents the life and times of Jesus Christ. This set the new laws for the Christian faith.
If you dont feel like clicking on the above link here is the passage:
Spiritual Gifts
1Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. 2You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.
4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
12The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13For we were all baptized by[c] one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

I agree; no Christian should get involved in astrology, psychic readings or palmistry.

It would seem that your first Bible verse there says not to "worship" the sun/moon/stars. Astrologers do not worship them, but merely study them.

No, actually it is merely moronic.
