Divination is associated with such abominations as witchcraft, sorcery, and those who commune with the spirit world. Divination is the art of foretelling the future using occult knowledge or supernatural power. It is the pagan counterpart to prophecy. Astrologers believe a permanent heavenly imprint corresponding to the eventual experiences of one's life is made on each person at the moment of birth. It is on this basis that astrologers attempt to predict the events of people's lives.
People say that astrology is valid because it works at least some of the time.
Part of the reason astrology sometimes works is the power of suggestion. If a person expects some event to take place in their life, they will make decisions that put them in a position for it to take place. When God sent Moses to command Pharaoh to release Israel, He performed ten miracles authenticating that Moses did indeed speak for God. The result was the hardening of Pharaoh's heart toward God. Likewise, astrology provides an alternative to the truth God has given us in the Bible.
