And I will return to this point later. Notice that scripture records that Daniel's name is changed once he is captivity, I shall return to this point later. At no point does he explicitly condemn Astrology as such. First century historian of the Jews, Herodias asserts that the Patriarch Abraham was the inventor of astrology. The Jewish Midrash supports the notion that Abraham was an astrologer.
Beginnings are what astrology is all about.
Astrology asserts that the end of a matter is influenced by how it began. But to the degree that any of these things pridefully take over an individual's life in a way that obliterates God, the Bible and the Church rightly condemns all these things as idolatry. I also feel more at peace with God as an astrologer than I ever did as a film maker. In the 1st grade I was appropriately cast as one of the Magi in the Nativity play. I have nothing to fear since the truth is its own standard and will sort out the charlatans from the those in God's covenant.
