Astrology is a collection of belief systems that assert that there is a connection between astrological phenomena and events or personality traits in the human world. The scientific community has dismissed astrology as having no explanatory power for describing the universe. Scientific testing has discovered no evidence to back up the astrological traditions’ premises or alleged effects.
Is it possible for astrology to be harmful?
Vyse thinks horoscopes can be troublesome if they have a big impact on your behavior, whether you’re looking for love or managing your finances.
Other devotees use astrology to help them make difficult health decisions. Before scheduling surgery, a New York lady who did not want to be identified says she contacts her astrologer. “I have complete faith in it.”
According to Vyse, this is going too far with the illusion of control. He says it’s amusing to make “insignificant judgments” based on your horoscope, but that’s where the line should be drawn. “Making a major decision based on your horoscope is never a good idea. You could just as well toss a coin.”
“Because the information individuals obtain from a horoscope is unpredictable at best,” Sandbek argues, “it can be downright destructive.” He goes on to say that relying on astrology during difficult times might stifle personal progress by obstructing your ability to make sound judgments.
What was Jesus’ take on astrology?
I believe that God created astrology as a tool for us to better understand ourselves and to use as a spiritual tool. Numerous bible texts, in my opinion, support astrology. As a Christian, I try to remember what Jesus said. “There shall be signs in the sun, moon, and stars,” Christ predicted in Luke 21:25, referring to the importance of astrology. He explains the value of astrology with his pupils, as well as how it might be used as a sign of his return. Why would Jesus provide us this critical knowledge if we are not intended to understand the energies of the planets and signs, and if he was actually against it? Just as the three wise men knew Jesus would be born under the star in the sky that led them to him lying in the manger, Jesus warned us that when he returns, there will be signals in the sky.
