What does the Bible say about reading horoscope?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible warns against seeking guidance, comfort, or hidden knowledge through horoscopes, astrology, or other occult practices, calling God’s people instead to trust and seek the Lord alone. Deuteronomy 18:9-14 condemns divination and fortune-telling as practices incompatible with faithful worship. Deuteronomy 4:19 cautions against being drawn to the sun, moon, and stars as spiritual guides, while Isaiah 47:13 exposes astrologers as unable to save. Leviticus 19:31 and 20:6 likewise forbid turning to mediums. Christians are to test spiritual claims by God’s Word (1 John 4:1), repent of former occult involvement as in Acts 19:19, and rest in God’s wise providence rather than predictions.
