No, you should not. It is not biblical, it is believing in powers other than God, and a way of allowing Satan into your life.

Astrology is a mythology that has no scientific basis. How can stars billions of miles away have an influence on the daily lives of people on earth?
It comes from human pride - that the entire cosmos was created just for us and our amusement.
Not to mention the fact that the astrological sign constellations were established over 2,000 years ago and due to the precession of the equinoxes the sun is no longer in the sign identified with the constellation.
For example, I was born in June and am supposedly a Gemini, but when I was born the sun was actually in Cancer.
And, if there are only 12 astrological signs and over 6 billion people on earth, then 500 million people were born under the same sign - I can't believe that 500 million people on earth are all the same, have the same "fortunes", have the same lives.

Astrology has been around for thousands of years and has yet to be proven. It probably grew from the realisation that certain stars were in certain positions at times for ploughing, planting and harvest.
A study of well known people born in France over the past several decades showed that there was no connection between their professionally cast horoscopes (not the silly stuff in the daily papers) and their known careers and character, with one exception. There was a slight correlation between the position of Saturn and the the careers of a very few scientists. This correlation could not be distinguished from coincidence. Nothing else could be found.
"Correctly" casting horoscopes requires a knowledge of astronomy, geometry etc. It also requires knowledge of at least the approximate time of birth and preferably the latitude and longitude of the birth. This is far too hard for most occultists who prefer to fake results in a unproven and almost certainly erroneous if not actively fraudulent system. Since there are different ways of interpreting results and even different systems of astrology, the whole idea looks like a pile of steaming Taurean excreta.

You know you posted this in the astroNOMY section, right? Astronomy is the scientific study of stars, planets, and other things in outer space. Astrology is the practice based upon the belief that the positions of planets, constellations, etc. have an effect or can be used to make accurate predictions of people's personal lives or their fate.
I'm not here to tell anybody what they "should" or "shouldn't" believe. But just note that astrology isn't a science, and hasn't been considered a science since the days of Kepler.

You should not believe in astrology because it depends on the position of the stars.Astrology was created a few hundreds years ago.So if they read your astrology now it is always wrong because the position of the stars have been moved!

The idea that the position of the Earth relative to the Plane of the Ecliptic at the day/hour of your birth could possibly exert ANY influence on you is a load of bunk.
You shouldn't waste your time, unless you want a good laugh - all horoscopes are written so vaguely that they could apply to ANYONE'S life on ANY day.

Everyone has certain characteristics based on the time they were born, the position of the moon, and the sun etc. It basically is a personalized analaysis of each person based on the solar system and placements at the time you were born. Kinda intersting...

You shouldn't because astrology purports to be able to predict the future based on your birth date. But if astrologers could predict your future, they could predict theirs, too, so they could predict things like world series outcomes, and they'd be too rich to bother telling your future.

Princess is right, astrology is a silly myth! The truth is there is a big bearded guy in the sky who gets virgins pregnant and sends many of his creations to a fiery pit when they die, because he loves us.
