Have you ever checked your zodiac sign to see how your day might go? Maybe someone told you that you’re “such a Leo” or “totally a Cancer.” Astrology is everywhere—from apps to magazines to social media. But what does the Bible actually say about these things?
If you’re new to studying the Bible, don’t worry. This article will walk you through everything step by step, with simple explanations, biblical references, and practical tips for reflection.
Step 1: Understand the Roots of Astrology
Astrology is the belief that the position of stars and planets can influence your personality, decisions, and future. But here’s the key question:
“What does the Bible say about those who consult astrologers and use astrology to receive direction for their lives?” (biblia.com.br)
The Bible is clear that God is the one who guides our lives, not the stars. Astrology puts creation in the place of the Creator, which is a dangerous spiritual shift.
“Do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations… Let no one be found among you… who practices divination or interprets omens.”
— Deuteronomy 18:9-10
🧠 Action Step: Ask yourself: Who am I trusting more—God or the stars?
Step 2: God Created the Stars for a Purpose
The Bible doesn’t deny the stars’ beauty or order. In fact, God created them:
“And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the vault of the sky… to mark sacred times, and days and years.’”
— Genesis 1:14
God made the stars to mark time—not to define who we are. Your identity comes from God, not your birthdate.
🧠 Action Step: Write down three truths the Bible says about who you are in God (e.g., loved, chosen, created with purpose).
Step 3: The Danger of Seeking Signs
Many people look to astrology for direction or comfort. But Jesus warned about this desire:
“A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign!”
— Matthew 16:4
Real faith is not built on signs but on trust in God’s Word. When we search for signs to guide us, we may miss the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking quietly through Scripture and prayer.
🧠 Action Step: Reflect on a time when you looked for a “sign.” What would it look like to seek God’s guidance instead?
Step 4: God Alone Knows the Future
Horoscopes often claim to predict what will happen in your love life, finances, or health. But the Bible says:
“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.”
— Proverbs 27:1
Only God holds the future in His hands. When we trust Him, we can live with peace, not anxiety.
🧠 Action Step: Surrender one worry about the future to God today in prayer.
Step 5: Signs in the Sky vs. Astrology
The Bible does mention signs in the sky—but these are God’s signs, not astrological predictions.
“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars.”
— Luke 21:25
These signs are about God’s great plans, like the return of Jesus—not daily guidance based on star signs. Astrology takes the focus off of Jesus and puts it on human-centered predictions.
🧠 Action Step: Read Luke 21 and write down what it says about where to keep your focus in the last days.
Final Thoughts: Follow the Creator, Not Creation
God doesn’t want you to live confused or afraid. He wants to guide your life through His Word, not zodiac signs. The stars are beautiful, but they are not your guide—Jesus is.
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
— Psalm 119:105
So the next time someone asks, “What’s your sign?”—you can say, “My identity is in Christ.”
🧠 Final Action Step: Open your Bible today and ask God to speak to your heart. He is always ready to lead you with truth and love.
