I know of a few Christian ppl who absolutely love these things. I have always thought of them as evil & nothing more then stupidity at its best. Some of these ppl (Some friends) say there is nothing wrong, they are just harmless.
Am I being too stuffy about it that I am 100% against them or does anyone else see a problem with them?
Thanks all.

I think of Nimrod

Im sure it sounds silly, but could you help me with that? What do you mean? <--Still learning in the Bible :) I'll get there, lol

I know a lot of people who read  them as well. Yet what most people don't know is it is witchcraft. You are right. They are evil. I see a ploblem with them too. First the more a person gets into horoscopes the less they obey God. Horoscopres is the devils tool, just one of the tools the devil uses. Horoscopes can also lead a person into all kinds of evil stuff such as...trying to reach a dead person, its also lost hope, among others.

Doesn't astrology date back to ancient pagan cultures and came out of their primitive scientific knowledge of believing the movement of the stars, planets, sun, and moon influenced the things that happened on earth.

Does not God overrule such thought? He is in control.

9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

Isa 47:13-14

13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
