Astrology A Sin? Options

Some of you may notice I'm currently researching lots about the "allowed and not allowed" aspects of magick. More over the "good" or "bad" perspective I'm forced to take being a loyal follower of God and Jesus Christ. This explains why everything I'm involved with now is strictly research. Research and understanding concerning how potentially living and participating a certain area of magick will effect my "good person status" in Gods eyes. I intend to ask questions here a lot regarding things to which I cannot find answers to through other means. I need to listen to arguments that would allow me to make a choice for myself. By the time I have completely gone through it all an established a sort of "end" to these types of questions, there will be enough information on the forum for people in exact situations as mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hideingbhindcurtian.gif)
So, unfortunately I've witnessed on several accounts that astrology is a sin. In fact, I've heard that ALL forms of divination are sins and should be completely avoided to stay in God's good graces. As most of you can understand, this has halted my magick research as of now seeing as though Astrology eventually intertwines itself our magick learnings. Again, I have heard lots on the argument of astrology being a sin, I must hear a counterargument to make my own choice. Or I must hear agreements to it being sin. Any help is appreciated as always.

I'd very much choose the last one as well... Interesting you should say this, where do you grab this ideology from? Is this how it was meant to be? If I were to practice magick and made use of astrology and still believed and did mostly everything according to God would I be forsaken? Many people live their life through science however... Is this wrong? When you identify this aspect through 3 specific forms of life, it feels as though one must choose a single form and stick with it seeing as though God would not have any "mixed" cooperation of how you live your life. I say this in the mind that God is all, so to make your life through him, astrology and science is simply folly. But then again how many people in the world have lived due to advances in science... tumor removals, heart transplants etc. Please explain =)

There will be a day when man changes the stars and astrology becomes ambiguous.

That day may not come. Changing the stars is big work, and there's no guarantee we'll develop technology for such a thing.

Besides that, the idea behind astrology is that the rays of the heavenly bodies create energetic changes in the earth's field of energy, the energy we live in and experience as a fish living in water. If the theory is true, then no matter where we go we'll be exposed to these rays - from stars, and from the planets surrounding whatever place we colonize, should we eventually do so.

In my opinion god is the manifest and the unmanifest, the "alpha and omega" if you will. If you're more hebrew inclined, the "Aleph to Tav" - both the originator of manifestation and the mirror that reflects it back into divine emptiness. Therefore, God is in the planets, too, and his will is manifest through them as it is through everything else, including science. I don't know who said you have to choose between astrology, science, or God's plan, but there is only God's plan - it is simply far too vast and transcendentally complicated that to call it a 'plan' from the mortal point of view of the word oversimplifies it to the point where individuals think they can know what that plan is. No matter how enlightened or spiritually aware you become, you never will - you'll only ever get far enough to comprehend what you are supposed to do next, and maybe what comes next for others or the world at the most.
