<p>I don't think you meant astronomy. Astrology and astronomy are entirely different. Astronomy is science based with a long history of fact based discovery; astrology is hocum that simply states that the position of celestial bodies exert an influence on one's character. Fact, your home has a higher gravitational and electromagnetic influence on you than all the stars in the heavens. As for any other influences, they are not specified by astrologers. Like I said, hocum.</p>

Hello family,<br />
<br />
I wanted to add a part of my testimony to this discussion.<br />
<br />
Over the last year, I battled a severe “astrology addiction” to horoscopes, tarot cards and psychic readings. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it refers to a state where a human being is unable to function or make major decisions without looking up what the cards/stars etc. have to say.

Hello family,<br />
<br />
I wanted to add a part of my testimony to this discussion.<br />
<br />
Over the last year, I battled a severe “astrology addiction” to horoscopes, tarot cards and psychic readings. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it refers to a state where a human being is unable to function or make major decisions without looking up what the cards/stars etc. have to say. It began with the innocent habit of reading my horoscope online to a point where I began to spend hundreds of dollars on e-psychic networks and astrology sites. I didn’t even realize when the habit became a crutch and I began to justify things in my life with “It is my fate" "It is written in the cards/stars" "It is pre-ordained, I couldn't help it". I don’t even know how I let myself spiral out of control to the extent that I woke up every morning, turned on my laptop, and spent HOURS online on hundreds of websites ‘checking my future’. I was in graduate school that time – my grades suffered, my thesis suffered, my social life suffered, my finances suffered, and at the same time I kept turning to astrology to find out what I needed to do to fix things. To this day, I remember the manic intensity with which I emailed/called/faxed astrologers/psychics for personal forecasts and personal counseling, which increasingly spiraled out of control when things did not go my way. Today, when I reflect on those months of torment I went through, I realize I literally gave the devil an open invitation to ruin me and drag me to hell. When things didn’t go according to my readings, I had horrific nightmares about my life that I never ever want to relive again.<br />
<br />
How am I a sane person today? Christ brought me through. He did for me something that no medical treatment/shrink/counseling etc. could do. After a few days during my walk with Christ, I woke up one morning with the desire to look at my daily horoscope gone - and anything else related to future telling. I cannot describe that feeling – like a weight had been taken off, like I just didn’t need to read that nonsense anymore, like I was simply immune to its lure. And then a gradual realization that as long as I am in Christ, my future is in His hands, only He knows what He has planned for me, so why on earth did I need to depend on anything else? I am alive today because of Him, because He pulled me out from a pit and walked me away from Hell. He is awesome, He is my savior, He is powerful, He is love, and He holds my life together today. I am so glad to be his child.<br />
Does God want us to partake in these activities? NO, HE DOES NOT. I realize my case was very extreme, but otherwise too, why should we need to depend on new age fads when as Christians, our futures are safe with Him? I was an absolute fool and the devil really had his way with me. I am so grateful that I am a new person in Christ today, that I can finally walk with Him, and learn to trust in Him as the guide of my life.

To allow someone tell you the future, be it by reading the Palm of your hand or the tea leaves in your cup, is Satanic and can lead an innocent on a path riddled with regrets that was never intended. An Illustration follows:<br></br>

When I was approximately 23 years of age and definitely not a Christian, I had tea with a girlfriend and a friend of hers whom I had just met for the first time.<br></br>

To allow someone tell you the future, be it by reading the Palm of your hand or the tea leaves in your cup, is Satanic and can lead an innocent on a path riddled with regrets that was never intended. An Illustration follows:<br/>
<br/>
When I was approximately 23 years of age and definitely not a Christian, I had tea with a girlfriend and a friend of hers whom I had just met for the first time.<br/>
When we had finished I told the friend - let's call here "June" - that I could read the Tea leaves in her cup for her. My Girlfriend who knew this was not true, went with the lie and said: "Yes! Yes! He is very good at it." I then went into the motions of all sorts of ways to hold, turn and place the cup with a whole lot of made up incantations. Poor June was convinced and couldn't wait for me to start as I peered into the cup and solemnly nodded or shook my head.<br/>
I then started to tell June who sat there wide eyed taking in all the "Waffle" I could think of. I can't remember what I told her, but suddenly she broke down in tears. She literally howled and nothing we said after that could console her. When I and my girlfriend told her it was just a game, that I really could not tell the future or read tea leaves.. She howled all the louder, shouting that what I had told her was absolutely true and that we were now lying in order to ease her pain. That what I had told her, only she knew and was terrified that others would find out. No apologies or anything I said after that was acceptable and she continued to cry all the louder. It took a long time after changing to different subjects and discussion before she calmed down. Finally I was relieved to see them go.<br/>
<br/>
Even though, I was not a Christian, I knew then that I had been playing inside a world that I knew nothing about and discovering how dangerous that world could become. I never saw "June" again and have no idea what actions she took on my "advice" over a cup of tea leaves.<br/>
On becoming a Christian I have asked for forgiveness and still regret to this day what actions it may have caused June to take.<br/>
The devil had, had his day. Don't be smart and tempt him.<br/>
