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.

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.

Are we not also of existence? of stars? of earth? One only needs to change himself to change the cosmos.

Are we not also of existence? of stars? of earth? One only needs to change himself to change the cosmos.

This is much the same as proclaiming "I am God" upon learning the "All is in the ALL, and the ALL is in All."

We are also of God - that does not mean we can change God.

Being of existence, the stars, and the earth, does not mean we may change them. The Transcendent Being may have such power, but will recognize the perfection of God's intentional creation of the Cosmos, and will know that it can do no better than that.

This saying of yours is an unqualifiable zen koan, I believe. Only valuable in it's meaninglessness.

These three paths, Science, Astrology, and God, compare to materiality, psychology, and spirituality. One is as good as any other, each has there place, and God will not forsake anyone who chooses any - or all three.

Materiality rests on security, the advancement of material things - not necessarily money; the conservation of natural resources, the curing of diseases, solving hunger, etc. are materialistic advancements.

Psychology (as governed by Astrology) is the study and practice of the inner psychological model and the application of that knowledge to realize and develop one's potential, and navigate in harmony with the flow of cosmic (divine) energies present between the inner and outer worlds of Materiality and Spirituality.

Spirituality is ultimately to abstain from materiality and focus entirely on the spiritual existence. If we all focused only on this, we would not last long.

The paths exist because we must have a place in which to live and thrive, we must understand our relationships to one another and to our world, and our places and paths in and through it, and we must be able to receive in some way the light of divinity to do the work of unifying the higher with the lower, and working as cocreators with God.

Without any one of the them, the system falls apart. You can choose one, or two, or all three; no matter what you do, you are playing a part in existence, and you are making it possible for the system to keep operating, and allowing the potential to unfold.

God forsakes no one - even those who work against this system consciously, because they are the universal resistance against which the pressure of manifestation is set, so as to engender a universal balance within which a stable existence may manifest.
