Why go to the stars for answers when you can go to the One who made those stars?
When the Bible mentions astrologers in Isaiah and Daniel, it is always in the context of false gods.
Isaiah 47:13
All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you
Daniel 2:2
So the king summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers to tell him what he had dreamed.
Daniel 2:4, 5
Then the astrologers answered the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will interpret it."
The king replied to the astrologers, "This is what I have firmly decided: If you do not tell me what my dream was and interpret it, I will have you cut into pieces and your houses turned into piles of rubble.
Daniel 3:8
At this time some astrologers came forward and denounced the Jews.
Daniel 4:7
When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners came, I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.

It would had been turned around or taken out
So people would not understand how Astrology and Numerology was a big part of the Bible.
Just like Tarot Cards, Runes and Palmistry they are all Spiritual tools to help people
So to get control of people they would make them Evil or Disregard them.
Astrology, Numerology, Tarot cards, Runes and Palmistry go right back to the Egyptians times way before the Bible was wrote

God made the stars...In Job it talks about God stretched out the Northern Sky over the Empty place.....The empty place (black hole) has been discovered by astronomers.
No we don't believe in astrology, it goes against trusting in God. And did you know after they decided on the 12 constellations they found 2 more. Doesn't that throw off any calculations by the stars?
I'd rather trust the Maker of the stars who even knows them by name.

Your going to get a friggin' million answers on this because people will always throw in their two-cents in.
The bible says NOTHING negative about astrology itself (yes i have read)
It only mentions crap like divination which doesn't really have much to do with astrology. your probably thinking of horoscopes.

It does mention Magi (Persian astrologers) coming to see Jesus by "following a star" and offering gifts (gold, frankincense and myrrh).

Astrology is in the category of witchcraft
