The teachings which have influenced the lives of billions over the last two millenia, whether you believe in them or not, the teachings of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ, who works through the holy spirit. The writer of this article is imperfect. When I realise what is implied in those words “love thine own enemy”, I realise how shoddy I am in the presence of the perfect one, Jesus Christ, who loves us and knows all about us.
Christ’s teachings are good, because in the light of astrology it’s easy to see that they resonate with the nature of Jupiter and of Venus, Jupiter goes out and has total compassion for the world in Pisces, his night time home, and in the day he goes out and he understands the spiritual implications of all actions taken on earth, Jupiter in Sagittarius really sees above and beyond all mundane and petty daily events and knows what counts in the end. Venus again, the planet that is associated with love, is belonging to Christ, when he tells us to love, just plain and simply to love those around us.
Jesus hates violence, and God hates violence, which is why Saturn and Mars are termed “malefics”. It is clear from the astrological point of view that Christ is good, because he resonates solely with the planets that are termed “benific”. He also tells us that those people who do things “for show”, to demonstrate to others and to draw attention to themselves in order to gain position are also evil, that they have “already received their reward”, those people are of the nature of Saturn, who do things in calculation, and without love.
In Astrology the benifics and malefics still stand firm. Good and evil still stand. To say that we live in a “new age” is the biggest deception, because in real terms people are people, and violence is still evil and love is still good and will always be good. These things separate us from the animals, and if as a species humanity rejects the binary of “good and evil” then we will go back to animalism with rapidity. It is from the tree of knowledge of good and evil that we ate.
There is no mention of going back into the garden of Eden. In the scriptures it is said that Christ will come down from the heavens, and all will be able to see and there will be no doubt whatsoever that it is him.
God hates sorcery just as he hates violence and whoring and lying. So perhaps this study is partly evil, for which I beg forgiveness. However, it is here and it is done. There is sorcery only if there is a wicked and calculating heart behind it. My heart sought only for a way forward in life, a vocation and love, and so perhaps those sins were not enormous. But in being away from the real source of truth, which is the Holy Spirit, there was spiritual death which I’ll not deny.
Real sorcery is where someone makes money from nothing, without putting in “real” work, without sweat, tears and blood. Let me re-affirm, there is nothing in this life which is worth having without real living sacrifice.
The Kingdom of Heaven is close.

I have been conflicted re my interest in tarot and especially astrology and my faith. We are led to believe that the bible/Jesus condemns false prophets and sooth sayers (psychics?) I know we should live for the present and not in the grips of the past or harbouring worries re the future. Look at the lillies in the field, they neither toil nor spin. The moon effects the tides and we too are ‘full of water’.But is it wrong to acknowledge that there are other earthly influences that effect us – our genes childhood, families,relationships, culture,history,outlook etc etc? Planetery influences can be added to the mix.The ideal is to rise above them all.I went as far as throwing out all my astrology,tarot, palmistry books. I wrote to a free spirited priest who told me to worry not.I think God has different faces – some of which are found in different religions. I’m still searching for the truth that sets you free.Your lovely readings have now appeared on my map. :)God – Father, Son, Holy Spirit Mother Mary the angels and saints – and all souls are with us always.
Nice to meet you. I appreciate it greatly when I have a reader who has real faith. Sometimes our faith falters and we need a sign, but the more faith you have, the less signs you need.
I love how you begged for forgiveness — humbling in case of a deed. I am a believer. I do not see negative in astrology. Why? God created the universe, stars, asteroids. I am presently using my chart not to ”soothsay” rather to guide me in my mission in life. To see my gifts — God blessed me with. May God grant us all His beautiful grace. I am content with the ”plan” and His will.
This dialogue is lovely – I am singing from the same hymn sheet Night Sky and Gracie!
Nice of you to sing a long Siofa! I had a dream of the Blessed Mother this week, her heart was glowing a soft red. I felt no message, just blessed she came.
Night Sky and Forum,
I have studied the Bible in several translations, and like when we study astrology we always see something that we may have missed before.
I was reading Judges 5:20 a few months ago, and I couldn’t believe that I had missed the meaning of that verse by prophetess and judge Deborah about a possible electional chart to go int battle where Israel waged war on her enemy.
Judges 5:20-23 New International Version (NIV)
20 From the heavens the stars fought,
from their courses they fought against Sisera
Can it mean anything less than Israel was utilizing astrology to wage war on Sisera?
E. Sibly in the below book definitely shows that astrology is Pro and Not anti Christian, and brings out the fact the term ‘seers’ mentioned in scripture is referring to astrologers.

There will possibly always be those who are stuck in the rings of Saturn and so much into traditional dogma of Jupiter who will take the following stance:

As the famous astrologer who worked with Winston Churchill in WWII, Sidney Omarr has said:
‘If the wise men or astrologers who worshiped Jesus were of Satan why didn’t they tell Herod of his whereabouts?”
It sounds like those Magi were truly men of God seeking his face!

Wise men truly know how little they know
Matthew 2:1-12 Wycliffe Bible (WYC)
2 Therefore when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, lo! astrologers [lo! kings, or wise men,] came from the east to Jerusalem,
2 and said [saying], Where is he, that is born [the] king of Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and we have come to worship him.
3 But king Herod heard, and was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And he gathered together all the princes of priests, and scribes of the people, and inquired of them, where Christ should be born.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Juda; for so it is written by a prophet,
6 And thou, Bethlehem, the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda; for of thee a duke shall go out, that shall govern my people Israel.
7 Then Herod called privily the astrologers [the kings], and learned busily of them [busily learned of them] the time of the star that appeared to them.
8 And he sent them into Bethlehem, and said, Go ye, and ask ye busily of the child, and when ye have found, tell ye it to me [tell again to me], that I also come, and worship him.
9 And when they had heard the king, they went forth [went away]. And lo! the star, that they saw in the east [And lo! the star which they saw in the east], went before them, till it came, and stood above, where the child was.
10 And they saw the star, and joyed with a full great joy.
11 And they entered into the house, and found the child with Mary, his mother; and they felled down, and worshipped him. And when they had opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, incense, and myrrh.
12 And when they had taken an answer in sleep, that they should not turn again to Herod, they turned again by another way into their [own] country.[a]
