Even though I have never read all of it, my favourite book is the bible. One of my favourite pastimes is astrology. Many people consider astrology to be evil, supported by quotes from the bible or any other religious book.What are your opinions on this very subject? Can you give reasons for and against astrology being good or bad? IP: Logged |

14 ¶ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
I know astrology is not just about the planets, it's predicting using the planets. So, I guess, it can be hard to get away with saying that if astrology is evil, then so is Jesus as he created the planets. More to come... feel free to add supporting evidence or personal opinion. Though, I guess, if you thought astrology was evil, you wouldn't be here discussing this in the first place. IP: Logged |

As I understand it, Christians consider astrology and any other divination to be "evil" because supposedly God can only know these things.In any case, I am an Atheist. I don't abide by the Christian sense of "Good" and "Evil" particularly since the Christian God has performed many evil acts such as decimating entire populations for no good reason other than to prove something (according to legend). I probably just offended a lot of Christians here. Sorry. IP: Logged |

THE MESSAGE IN THE MAZZAROTH http://www.evanwiggs.com/articles/mazz.html Not sure if good or bad, but has lots of astro related information. Not sure how to take it, apart from this line.... quote: 12 signs are the same in all ancient nations of the world; Chinese, Chaldean, Egyptian, etc. Zodiacs are in the Temples of Denderah and Esneh in Egypt. Why has Satan taken the Zodiac and corrupted it into Astrology? Was it once a sign of God's redemptive plan?
Seems like opinion, rather than fact. IP: Logged |

Even before seeing ZEITGEIST (which I highly recommend) I thought the bible made many references to astrology, or metaphysical in meaning.Let me just say this...is it pure coincidence that Jesus had 12 discliples? 12 signs anyone? Does this mean that Jesus is the planet in middle where all these planets revolve around, such as earth? We can all look at the bible to see good and bad things which relate to astrology, but what about thinking much more deeper....thinking whether the bible itself can be good or bad. No point saying astrology is good because the bible says so, without looking to see if the bible itself is good or evil. IP: Logged |

Anything can lead to positive or negative outcomes.. depending on how you use it.e.g. Astrology can be used to help others as a social and psychological tool. Or... Astrology, used wrongly, can lead to discrimination, violations of human rights and possibly fraud. IP: Logged |

Good views.The Bible has no evil in it when read with the third eye active. Example: In the literal meaning, the God of the Hebrews decimates many populations who do stupid things like steal the ark given to the Children of Israel. The esoteric meaning is different. The people other than the children of Israel DID NOT go through a 40 year cycle of penance that strengthened their nerves to allow Kundalini Shakti to pass through the Chakras. The devices like the Ark needed a free flowing Kundalini for Psychic Communication with Higher Dimensions. The ignorants who touched such devices without preparation could not handle the excess Kundalini generated in their unprepared bodies, and hence got decimated. Moses and the burning bush is another story that refers to Kundalini, the fire that burns but does not consume. The Bush was the Brain of Moses, the fire was the Kundalini. The Serpent he raises to convince Pharoah is his own Kundalini Energy, fully under his control, with which he could do wonders. The Hebrews were ready for a Group Evolution, hence they had to dissociate from Egypt. There is an esoteric meaning even to the imagery of Crucifixion, with the two robbers on the left and right signifying the Ida and Pingala Nadis, and Jesus signifying the Sushummna Nadi from which Kundalini Passes and creates "Ascension".

I am a Christian--- Messianic Jew. I am not offended by a person's statements such as yours Amowls Darling . Just to say my take on it.It is weird cuz I discovered I was psychic. Now,I am doing a website where I will be offering readings. I wonder if it is OK with God cuz of what the Bible says about Divination. The Bible says this cuz there are TWO Spiritual worlds.One is dark .One is light. One is evil and one is good. If you go down the evil one, you will be cruisin for a brusin. You will pay in a bad way at some point. God says this for people's well being not to be narrow minded However, I believe I should be doing this with the website or I never would. I would NEVER go against God. I did that once in my choice of a marriage partner. I paid so dearly. If I get an inking that something is not God's will, I drop it . ------------------
