The verses in the Bible that mention the occult are warning us not to depend on psychics for all of our answers. There is a tendency for people to neglect God and put their faith in psychics and mediums completely and this is what the Bible warns against in some verses. They were warned that it is a tool to be used in moderation, when needed, but to never ignore God and depend solely on an astrologer for your answers. Cayce himself was a devout Christian who stepped out of the traditional teachings and dedicated his life to serving others.
Throughout history, famous people have studied astrology and used it for several purposes such as Hippocrates, Sir Isaac Newton, Galileo and Pythagoras.
Modern medicine today was created because of astrology. It was first started by associating certain parts of the physical body with the parts of the body associated with each of the twelve zodiac signs.
Jesus represents the Sun and the twelve disciples represent the twelve astrological signs of the zodiac. In the book Kabalistic Astrology, it is written that the twelve sons of Jacob were representative of the twelve signs of the zodiac and that the personality traits of each son were used to describe each sun sign we know today.
It is important to keep an open mind. There are many interpretations of scripture and each Christian can interpret the verses in unique ways. Astrology has always been a part of the Christian faith in many different ways. When I traveled to Europe and visited historic churches I saw remnants of astrology in architecture and in art.
Christians are studying astrology and using it to understand themselves better. Just like the personality tests that organizations offer to employees such as Meyers Briggs Type Indicator or Strength Finders, basic astrology can paint an accurate and detailed picture of our personality strengths and talents.

People of the event of air are thought to be social, intellectual, and great at giving advice. Fire element astrological signs are Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo. People of the fire element are believed to be temperamental, strong, and brave. Lastly, earth elements include the signs of Virgo, Taurus, and Capricorn.
Within the elements, there is the belief that certain zodiac signs are compatible with other zodiac signs. This means that some zodiac signs are more romantically inclined to other zodiac signs. If two zodiac signs are within the same element, then they are compatible. However, zodiac signs can also be compatible with other zodiac signs that are not in their element.
Fire signs are compatible with air signs and water signs are compatible with earth signs. Yet, it is not wise to have a relationship or marry someone who is not compatible with your zodiac sign according to this belief system.
Thus, a fire sign should not be friends with, have a relationship, or marry a water sign or vice versa. The Bible tells us it is wrong to participate in astrology. This would include zodiac signs and horoscopes. Deuteronomy says,.
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.
Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God. The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so. Astrology is a false belief system that is rooted in divination.
God does not want His children to participate in witchcraft or the occult. God has made each person uniquely them. There is nobody else like you on earth. As believers, we are not defined by an astrological sign.
Our identity is found in Christ alone. Divination is actually regarded to be a grave sin in other passages as well. In 1 Samuel it reads, "Rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.
The roots of astrology are from ancient paganism, where they worshipped planets as gods. Most astrologers are also involved in other New Age practices, such as tarot cards, numerology, spirit guides and the like.
Divination was common among the pagan peoples of the Bible lands. When the Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land of Canaan, God warned them not to practice astrology. While horoscopes can seem like harmless fun, they are actually a trick by Satan. He is packaging it in a way that actually slowly takes us away from God and His teachings. Horoscopes should not be read by Christians, and instead we should place our faith in our future by communicating with God.
