I get hate mail from Christians who tell me I am from the devil. I understand where they are coming from. I used to be there. I will try to explore this subject in this article.

I had an Astrology library many years ago before I found Jesus. The Messianic rabbi told me to throw it away. With great regret, I did. I went to a messianic synagogue and a Christian church which loved Israel and the Jews. Many don’t, but that is a whole other can of worms. Astrology was considered a portal to the dark side. I gave up Astrology until one night at 3 AM, a voice told me to study Astrology. It told me to cancel my Net Flix subscription( to which I was addicted)

The Bible says to test the spirits to see from whence they came. There is a spiritual world with both dark and light forces. Just look around. You will see the darkness. The root of it is from this unseen spiritual world. You can FEEL the darkness in your own addictions, depressions and angst. I struggle with the darkness. I think we all do, to different degrees. At any rate, I did not want to go into a pursuit that would pull me into the darkness anymore than the depression I have suffered since I was a young teen, so I tried to quiet my mind and ask God if He wanted me to study Astrology.I told Him I would throw it away in an instant if it was not His will for me. I told Him I would proceed in my study of Astrology but for Him to let me know by a feeling of peace.

I joined Linda-Goodman.com. I loved it. I found that Astrology was easy for me.I have the asteroid Astrowizard conjunct my Ascendant, which makes me wonder if God’s plan for me was to become an Astrologer. At any rate. I had a tremendous peace when studying Astrology. I still do. When I am down, I read charts. It puts me into a meditative state. At the same time, I can help people and that always takes you out of yourself. We all need that, in order to be happy, in my opinion.

The larger issue in my writing this article is to talk about being a Christian and an Astrologer. The Bible says that by their fruits you will know them. My fruits seem to be getting greater and greater, as far as being able to reach out to people. When I do, I am there to share Jesus. I do not push it, as that seems to me to be hawking like you would hawk a cheap product. It seems disrespectful to Jesus to try to push Him down people’s throats like a bad tasting medicine. He is more valuable than the Hope Diamond. People have to initiate a conversation with me about Jesus, most of the time. Sometimes, I will start it, if I feel I am being led to. However, it is always for the good of the other person, not for my own ego.

Astrology is a science. It is a science of the electromagnetic energy emanating from the planets, asteroids etc. It is neither dark nor light. It is science. The last thought I will leave you with is that Astrology shows the order of the Universe. Hence, it leads back to God.

Im not sure where we disagree at in this post...I do believe in the spiritual warfare of both light and dark entities...i am of the light so therefor the darkness can still creep in my mind and dim my light. There is a daily battle with evil. Im not a hater by all means, and those christians who send you hate mail and say you are from the devil are not spiritual and obviously do not have a personal relationship with god within their hearts. I believe in astrology, do not know much about it but god too spoke to me to look in this direction. I test what I hear...I had to learn discernment awhile back to know who was talking...the bible says a sheep will know the shepards voice and I now know for sure my shepards voice. I do not disagree with you on the matter of astrology it is a science and proves god in my eyes. He's much bigger than we can imagine...and some of our minds are pretty big! Lol I think I was trying to add to your statement of the darkness not debate it...I do agree with you...thanks for your point of view.

We disagree in that I believe there is ONE way and ONLY one way to God and that is through Jesus

Yes but the "hard" sciences are backed up by theories that are ,even if partially, proven by examples and experimentation.

I'm from the line of thought that ALL things serve God, meaning astrology as well. However God also knows our intentions and what is on our hearts so if ones motives are less then pure it will come back on anyone.

As for "demons" keep in mind like "rapture" that word does not actually appear in the Greek manuscripts. Things like "evil spirits" or "unclean spirits" actually does.

Thing is AA, the dark has more glamour then the light which is one of the reasons so many, especially the young, choose to engage the dark.

Yes, that's the pr spin, the selling point. Travel down that road and we'll find out soon enough it is far from glamorous. Conversely, the farther we walk on the straight road the more interesting things become. Funny how that works.

And there are several different types of spirits, meaning there is a spirit of the times, a spirit of an activity etc
