Every day, millions of people around the world abandon their usual scientific worldview and consult horoscopes, believing that somehow their positions of the plants can affect what happens to them. When you think about it, it’s crazy(as well as forbidden in scripture Deuteronomy 18:10-14)
Astrology is the “interpretation” of an assumed influence the stars (and planets) exert on human destiny. According to astrology, the sign you were born under, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, or Capricorn, impacts your destiny. This is a false belief and also completely unnecessary because God himself, our heavenly Father, has promised to guide us. He doesn’t just have plans; He has an incredible plan for you and me.
This gets me excited and I love God’s promise for us in Jeremiah 29:11 – “I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans to give you a future and a hope.” And the God of creation wants to guide you into those plans as Proverbs 3:5-6, reminds us, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight(or will direct your paths).
These plans aren’t cold or deterministic. The Lord has already established the end goal, but what I love, He still invites us to partner with Him in navigating the path toward the end goal. I am reminded of this partnership in 1 Corinthians 1:9, God has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. We have a a choice, we can resist His will or respond to it; and I have learned if God doesn’t get to us through the front door, He has a way of coming in through the back door.
I will guide you along the best pathway for your life, I will advise you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8
