I find it extremely concerning when anyone belonging to Christ claims to be a Virgo, Libra or Pisces. It’s not that I have a particular problem with these signs, but astrology as a whole.
- Astrology is the study that assumes and attempts to interpret the influence of the heavenly bodies [stars] on human affairs.
Studying astrology or looking up our horoscopes every blue moon shifts our focus from being led by the holy spirit, to what the stars are seemingly telling us will happen in each season of our lives. Some may say “It’s not that serious, no one really believes those things.” Then why ascribe to a particular sect based on your birthday? Why include it in your Instagram bio? Why hashtag it in all of your birthday pictures if “nobody really believes in those things?”
The bible is very clear about our involvement with things of a divining nature:
“When you begin living in the towns the Lord your God is giving you, a man or woman among you might do evil in the sight of the Lord your God and violate the covenant. For instance, they might serve other gods or worship the sun, the moon, or any of the stars—the forces of heaven—which I have strictly forbidden.” Deuteronomy 17:2-3 NLT
The Lord is clear about his expectation for us as his people. Sure this passage is from the Old Testament, but the New Testament declares that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. There is nothing giving a concession for astrology or horoscopes as it relates to the will of God for our lives.
The stars in the sky were actually created to worship the Lord, not dictate our lives or purpose in specific seasons.
“Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you twinkling stars!” Psalms 148:3 NLT
I challenge you to see how participating in astrology strips us of our faith. Faith is the assurance of things unseen and seeking our destiny within the stars is the complete opposite of that. It is impossible to please God without having faith and even more so when we are worshiping the stars that he created and not him as the creator.
So be encouraged!
I would stop ascribing yourself to a particular season be it “Libra Season” or “Virgo Season.” There are so many babes in the faith that are looking up to those of us who have been in this salvation game for awhile. As children often do what they see others doing versus investigating what it is that they see, it is important that we are setting a good example.
Love you!
