I also was into astrology for several years (and by astrology I don't mean newspaper horoscopes). I have mostly gotten away from it now, but I know there is a lot of truth in it. God is working all things after the counsel of his own will (Eph. 1:11) but I'm not sure we should be using astrology or things like that to try to divine what it is. I used to be into tarot cards too, and at first that was accurate but then it just told me what I wanted to hear. Now I can't keep decks of cards around the house (the modern deck of playing cards is based on the tarot deck) because I will be too tempted to use it for a reading.

Tarot cards are a man made gimmik....but astrology on the other hand, I believe it's ok to check the signs.

Here is one I can't really explain, but it did happen. My father has a dream where a voice tell him to tell his brother to make right his teaching to his sons, because he is going to die soon. My uncle was for a time with Roy Masters, when his sons were growing up. Since then his sons had moved to Arkansas. So my father goes to see his brother. My father tell him about his dream, and my uncle agree that he should make sure to correct some ideals he may have imparted to his children. He was happing to go to Arkansas to see them the next week. He and his wife spend two weeks in Arkansas. A week after they get back my uncles dies of a heart attack.

Deu 13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
Deu 13:2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
Deu 13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Isa 7:11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
Isa 7:12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Mat 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
Mat 16:1,2,3,4
Mar 8:11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
Mar 8:12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets (this includes psychics as well as the false prophets of babylon) shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Mar 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Isa 47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
Isa 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Mic 5:12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
1Sa 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
2Ki 9:22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
2Ch 33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Lev 19:26 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Well, I think that just about covers the subject of "psychics".

I agree; however, I've found that astrology doesn't usually tell me anything I don't already at least suspect, and if I don't see something coming from checking the stars, it's because God has hidden it from me. Remember, we don't know what will be on the morrow (James 4:14). So I don't know if it's a good idea to try to predict the future by using astrology. And my hindsight has always been better than my foresight. :lol:

No...not as far as telling the future. No one can tell the future....no matter what people say. I've always found my hindsight better as well. :)
