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.
Why? All a full moon is is a result of a changed position in relation to the sun.

Can confirm that too, used to work near a hospital. Thats a little different and less comprehensive than what the zodiac claims and attempts to do.

Zodiac and horiscopes. phsycics, mediums. It is all bad because it is not trusting God. It is having a God before him. It may seem okay because you see others doing it, but you can open doors to the demonic realm. Let spirits in your house. Then you will be calling on God to help you.

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.
That's not technically true, though it is sometimes. Followers of Krishna consider him to be the one true god and creator, they happen to think that the whole "everything is illusion" stuff is a bunch of hogwash and demonic as well. Hinduism is pretty diverse in it's branches, much more so than our denominations from my understanding of it.

tides are at their greatest when the sun moon and earth are aligned we are made up of 75% water. The freak outs how this happens I don't know but working there a saw for my own eyes people went nuts and got violent with full moons. was it gravity pull or just the fact it's full moon not quite sure and it seemed to depend on the disability not all the people there did that some did some didn't.

When God flung it all into motion he predetermined where every star would be in the sky in relation to the events that happened on the ground....I think anyways. Makes sense since God is omnipresent and omnipotent and all. Lol

It's kinda of crazy to think that when God created the time frame we are in, He had already been present at the end it. Lol

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.
Uh. It isn't accurate

People like to think it is accurate because among a list of characteristics, they will choose the one they like about themselves and ignore the ones they don't fit and say. "Hey, cool! It fits!"

It is so unspecific, I read it a few times, and everyone of them applied to me. Mankind always thinks everything is about him. The star constellations are all about Christ. The bible warns us not to follow the star gazers who make predictions month to month- that they can't even save themselves from the upcoming wrath. We are not to follow such advisers. (Isaiah 47:13).

I wouldn't care if astrology or magicians or anything else of this nature was right 100% of the time, it still does not make it something that God wants us to have anything to do with!

I was into all this New Age Nonsense before I got saved, and believe me, it was not right, or good or anything else. My suggestion is to stay away from it.

When I was taking a course for transfer credit in a local seminary, there was a native woman, who had a lot to say against native spirituality. One day someone mentioned "Ouija boards" in the class, and she replied that it was a "portal to evil."

I could not agree more! Those things drag people away from Christ and into the devil's clutches. That is what happened to me. I started with astrology when I was 12, moved onto Ouija boards, reincarnation, and soon moved to a full fledged devotee of the New Age movement.

Definitely not something to play around with, nor think that it comes from God! And Satan can do evil things with people who follow him - do not ever forget that for a moment!

Good point. It's true that Hinduism is incredibly diverse, but I believe the vast majority of Hindu teachings speak about everything being an illusion. And while followers of Krishna have borrowed from the one true faith and tried to make it their own, that doesn't mean they're walking in Truth. Eastern religions are often defined by some variation on everything being an illusion. That's the Eastern mindset.

I read a few horoscopes in the back of the newspaper, back in the day. I thought they were complete nonsense. Not because they were almost always wrong, but because they were so ridiculously vague and boring. How anyone can believe that tripe is beyond me. Still, I recommend that people stay away from such things.

Unless the God of the Bible allows it?


Who can do magic? obviously the God of the Bible did in ancient days but who really performed the magic for pharaoh?

Exodus 7:8-9-11
God said to Moses and Aaron, “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a snake.” - Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts.

I have always been a spiritual minded kind of person. Before coming to God I delved into, studied, everything spiritual ... looking for "something". That something was God and the Bible. Before I knew that, you could say that Zodiac astrology was my bible. When I came to God I had a dumpster party for all my old "spiritual" books.

If you know anything about the zodiac ... you should know that scorpio, in particular, has a tendency towards and a weakness for all things occult. I firmly believe that the zodiac is the first foot in the door that leads down a very dark hallway ... God would say turn away from it - get out of her my people. It is playing with fire...
