So I'm not talking about horoscopes or predicting the future here. I'm talking about the zodiac and the personalities associated with each sign. From what I have seen in the past, personality and compatibility profiles based on the zodiac months are incredibly accurate, but my question is why? I understand that it has to do with the planets moving around or whatever, but I don't understand how it works and nobody can really tell me. Are Zodiac signs somehow evil or are they just some tool God uses? How does it work????

I have found that most traits (positive and negative) for me as a Scorpio are really accurate and pretty exclusive to me and other Scorpios but are totally irrelevant to other signs I have met, and vice-versa. Also, reading compatibility profiles, I realized that my past relationships ended because of specific conflicts listed between the signs and my marriage is fantastic because of the reasons that it lists (reading everything after the fact).

Also, if you're insane and want to just type "ASTROLOGY IS EVIL!", you can save your hands the trouble haha.

In a public speaking class in college I asked everyone to give me their dates of birth. So the following day before class began I had set a piece of paper face down on their desk. After class began they flipped the paper over, and all seemed so amazed that I had written a paragraph that seemed to fit their personality, and life so accurately.

It wasn't until after class that I had revealed that everyone got the exact same information written about them as the next. The traits (positive and negative) are so "accurate," because it's information that everyone can relate to. After all, who doesn't think they fit the description of a "hard worker," etc.?

It's a psychological thing. Ever notice those horrorscopes in the paper seem to be accurate as can be some days, but other days they are entirely irrelevant? People that believe in that kind of thing tend to dismiss it when it doesn't stick but go OMG OMG when it's right.

Well that's the thing. This just isn't the case. This isn't "cold reading" like horoscopes. Most of these traits are really exclusive to these people born under certain months. It isn't stuff like "loves having fun". It's stuff like "very dogmatic, black and white in their way of thinking"

I've looked at all of the other sign's traits and nothing really applies to me. Same thing with friends when they read stuff about my sign. Horoscopes are complete rubbish. Zodiac personalities don't appear to be so.

Divination as a magical art form does actually exist, though I do not see the zodiac as being legitimate in that regard based on my personal experience with it. It's baloney for me half the time when I happen to see a horoscope or anything zodiac related.

From Acts 16:

16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

the Hindu calendar seems to be pretty accurate with its yugas corresponding to ages that represent exploration, materialism and all the rest. its based on the same great cycle as the maya, egyption, and solar calender of the Jews.

So are you saying that horoscopes aren't divination? How exactly does the zodiac and horoscopes work? Do you know? That's what I'm trying to find out.

It's an attempt at divination, certainly.....whether it is actually accurate at what it claims to do is what I question (not a believer myself and don't mess with it at all). I unfortunately was a little bit involved in the occult when I was younger and had a female friend who was really into it. She explained it to me that the stars and planets exert an influence on the earth and the people on it (kind of like a spiritual version of how the moon's gravity affects tides) and that by observing the alignment of the planets at a time a person was borne you could divine knowledge out of it. I know there are whole books on what means what but it really isn't something we should concern ourselves with.

There are lots of parts of the Bible that confirm the existence of things most people do not believe in anymore. All things we are not to mess with btw.


Dueteronomy 18-10,11

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer

I'm not sure why Hindus bother with any of that. One of the main tenants of Hinduism is that everything is an illusion.


Which is bollocks.

i dont get divination. we are told using a crystal ball to find an answer to a problem is wrong. but calling on the Lord to show answers in stones may be ok.

yet its more truthful than a scientist saying reality is based on matter that they can not prove exist.

There's a big difference. What's the source of that power? The latter was approved by God, the former was approved by Satan. Also, that was for a certain group at a certain point in history, we're not to consult stones for answers nowadays, even if we ask God.

Scientists steal from the foundations of the Judeo/Christian worldview to reason, to even be able to conduct scientific experiments of any kind. They can prove matter is real, but not within a purely naturalistic worldview (which they say they hold to).

They work through these elaborate charts computing the time in sec./ location in deg/ along with declensions along with other fancy terms like 'acronichal rising' etc. The whole thing though is built on an arbitrary assignment of personal traits to all this elaborate charting.

The moon does affect humans, along time ago I worked as a maintenance tech. at a ficiality for people with special needs when I first started the job my coworkers warned me when there is a full moon be watchful of your surroundings. I didn't quite believe it at first but after a few full moons working there that changed my mind pretty profoundly.
