Some fundies think they are bad on the mistaken premise that they are equivalent to some obscure Old Testament practices; most other Chrisitans don't care
FYI people do not "consult the stars" to make predictions about their lives" any more. Therefore reference to the OT prohibitions is irrelevant.

If you read in a horoscope first thing in the morning: "Be wary of a white vehicle", you're going to spend the rest of the day watching white vehicles until you see a car or truck doing something stupid, then you'll say to yourself, "Ah ha! My horoscope was right!" In the meantime, you might have missed 5 blue and 2 red vehicles doing something equally as stupid because you were locked in on "proving" your horoscope to be true.
My thought on the subject: the act of READING a horoscope is not "evil" or "wrong". How you let the reading of the horoscope affect you IS the problem.
There is a simple phrase to live by: "You have no power over me" when it comes to false prophesies, predictions, etc. The only power in a horoscope is the power you give it: the power to let it guide HOW you live and react to others, like taking out aggression on a person because your horoscope predicted you would have a confrontation with a schoolmate or co-worker. Personally, I never even bother reading them...

Shakespeare once wrote "There are more things in Heaven and Earth Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (or something like that). According to past writings, we don't know what God looks like, for we (humanity) could not understand.
In my work, I have seen and heard many things, some of which made me stop and wonder. So, my opinion on horoscopes is, personally I do not believe they are as right as some profess; I do not read mine and base my actions on what they say. However, my experiences in life allow me to not condemn those who do. The only thing I am certain of, is that there is much in this world that I do not understand. That is why I am at least open to other possibilities, but as always, I am free to make up my own mind.

Fun and games! I like reading mine at the end of the day... how can I make what happened today fit the horoscope? Most are so generic and so open to interpretation that almost anything fits. Good fun!

it is the belief that stars and planets determine events, rather than the sovereign God of the universe. It is wrong and sin to be involved with it.
Rom 1:25 who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

I don't live my life according to the stars. I live my life according to the Word of God, His Holy Bible. I go to God for my answers and not a horoscope.

I don't believe in them at all. They are a bit amusing, but that's it. I don't remember the last time I even looked at mine.

I look at them for the fun of it but i don't actual believe that they are true. if you let them run your life then that is a sin.
