In astrology, celestial bodies like stars and planets are examined for their potential impact on human destinies. Many forms of prediction rely on the alignment of the celestial bodies at the moment of a person's birth (rather than their conception) to foretell their financial success, romantic prospects, and personality traits.

A person's "sign," which is one of the zodiac's twelve constellations, is the most common understanding of astrology. The foundation of newspaper horoscopes is sun-sign astrology, which this practice falls under. Simply entering a person's birthday is all that is required to create a sun-sign horoscope, making it the most basic version. There are a lot of astrologers who would tell you that this method is oversimplified and doesn't work very well.

Astrologers look up the birth chart to see what signs the planets were in to get a more precise interpretation. A detailed and intricate profile of a person's character, history, and potential is formed when astrological components like planets, signs, houses, and angles interact with one another. 

But how does astrology and its belief in fate given by the stars align with Christian beliefs? In this article we’ll discuss what the Bible says about astrology and whether it is a sin.
