Both my parents were devout Catholics who like myself attended Mass regularly or every Sunday, howevver, my parents were also in the bad habit of reading their daily horoscope found in the local newspaper (they both knew their sign). When a teen and young adult, I was the youngest of 5 and lived at home. I hope what I`m about to write will help. This is the result of our parents following astrology for many years… My brother and I still suffer the consequences, both having been denied a college education due to the errors of our parents (we were told to work after graduating high school and never attended college or university – he wanting to be an engineer, and myself a historian – our gifts will be returned to God, unused, when we go before Him). They passed from this life in the 1980s and I often wonder what happened to them. As a result, our house was always a place of argument, jealousy, distrust, poverty, sickness, alcoholism, sexual deviation and overall tension – is it any surprise. Every morning they’d open the paper “to see what it says” – but they never opened the Bible.
My own parents were devout Catholics – but were also fans of astrology, and knew their sign, as well as mine and my siblings. No, they were aware of the sign in the heavens, as was also seen by everyone, and is consistent with Scripture that the heavens there would be great signs before the first and last coming.

Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.”Ĭatechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2115 What should I do if I have read a horoscope or visited a fortune-teller? Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. “God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Astrology, fortune-telling, tarot cards, and the like are no replacement for God’s providence. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.”Ĭatechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2116īy consulting a horoscope to show ourselves the path for our day we usurp the place of God in whose hands we should place our concerns allowing him to lead us down the path of holiness in discerning his will for us. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. “All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to ‘unveil’ the future. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, Some of these things use evil as the source of their power, others are based on mathematical formulas, and still others are people simply looking to make a quick profit from willing seekers. The Catholic Church teaches against the use of horoscopes and other such fortune-telling practices such as astrology, palm reading, clairvoyance, ouija boards, and mediums because they attempt to take the place of God.
Horoscopes are a means of attempting to know the future through an astrologer’s interpretation of Sun sign astrology.
