What's your sign? It's a question that seems innocent enough, but behind the stylish aesthetics and personality quizzes lies a spiritual practice explicitly forbidden in Scripture. Astrology has seamlessly woven itself into mainstream culture and even Christian circles, disguised as harmless entertainment or self-discovery. But God's Word paints a dramatically different picture.

The Bible doesn't mince words about divination. From Deuteronomy's clear prohibition to Isaiah's fiery condemnation of astrologers, Scripture consistently warns believers away from seeking guidance in the stars rather than from the Holy Spirit. What many don't realize is that astrological knowledge has a dark origin story. Ancient texts like the Book of Enoch reveal how fallen angels taught humanity forbidden knowledge—including astrology—as part of a spiritual corruption that predated the flood.

This episode connects these dots between modern horoscopes and ancient deception, sharing powerful testimonies from former psychics who now follow Jesus and warn about astrology's role as a gateway to deeper occult involvement. We explore five specific spiritual dangers of astrological practices: replacing God's voice, promoting self over surrender, opening spiritual doors to demonic influence, imitating true prophecy, and becoming an idol in believers' lives.

As end-times deception increases, astrology's growing normalization—even among Christians—should concern us. Could this be part of the very deception Jesus warned about when He said the end would be "as in the days of Noah"? This isn't about condemnation for those who've dabbled in star signs or read daily horoscopes. Rather, it's a compassionate call to clarity, repentance, and renewed commitment to seeking guidance from God alone.

Ready to examine this countercultural topic through Scripture rather than culture? Join us for an eye-opening conversation about why Christians are called to stay grounded in God's Word rather than reaching for the stars. Ask yourself: What might you need to let go of to walk in full obedience to God?
