Daily Astrology
QUESTION: Daily Astrology – Is it beneficial?ANSWER:Information derived from the study of the planets in the year of your birth is categorized into astrology readings. These readings claim to be able to tell you about how the planets interact in your life, governing the choices you make or want to make. Real astrologers say that the newspaper version of one or two sentences is not enough for you to make long lasting decisions about your future. Discipline and in-depth studying of planetary alignment is needed.
The study of astrology purports to give you valuable information in predicting your own future. Astrology maps out positive elements that give you an advantage to attract ideal opportunities or good luck. A professional astrologer will also be able to tell you of the opportunistic times you may have missed in your lifetime.
Astrology readings are as old as time. Historical and biblical writings all contain information about seers and magi. Mankind has always tried to discern wisdom from constellations and mappings. It may have been started as a way to understand that which cannot be touched but can be seen in some form. We are always trying to put a ‘face’ on the unknown to make it more understandable to ourselves.
Navigators on land and sea have used stars to guide them on physical journeys. Used as reference points for earthly travels, the sun and moon give us the time of day and night. Ships plot their course according to the only reference point available to them at sea.
The heavens display the lights of the night and man has made them into forms and human figures. Names have been added to distinguish one from another. The Greeks have worshiped the groupings of stars and written great epics of drama about the wars in the heavenlies that came down to earth once upon a time.
Astrological readings are only a means to satisfy the longing of the human mind to be in control of their destiny. The future cannot be predicted by stars. It can be predicted by past actions and human traits. Humanity will never change unless a change of heart is brought about by a lifestyle change, thereby altering your future.
Astrology readings also contain information about your past lives that affect your future lives. This idea adds to the belief in good luck and fate.
God says that man has but one life to live and after that judgment. God’s way is to believe that He holds your life and destiny in His hands for His purposes. His plan is to have you live life to its fullest. Astrology doesn’t address the everyday issues on how to treat each other in a world that is full of chaos and need.
Jesus said that the way to live is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength; and love your neighbor as yourself.”
The most important future event in your life is where you want to spend eternity. We were not just born into this life for just a few decades, but we were made for a time after this one.
If you believe in astrology or anything other than Jesus Christ, your future will be an eternity without life. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life.
