Mystical Angels

Do any forum participants believe that horoscopes are useful & incorporate them into their religious worldview?

In various cultures the preparation and use of horoscopes (and astrology in general) is a routine element of the cultures religious worldview. However, today the integration of astrology with religion seems to be less common -- but perhaps some R&S members would disagree and could describe examples from their own culture or even their own religious observance. Any details would be appreciated.

1. Actually, my natal horoscope is pretty accurate... likewise for some of my Christian friends, I can't explain it scientifically other than, maybe gravity patterns?
2. I don't. I think they are too generic.
3. i read my natal chart (not just my sign) and it described every part of me exactly. but i don't know if i believe in it though.
4. I think they're at least fun, but I doubt I've checked mine more than three times in my life and that was because someone else was interested. On the other hand the Magi that came to Christ according to the Bible were Zoroastrian priest, the same group of people that invented astrology. Considering this it's odd that so many condemn it for religious reasons. I can understand why science would be scornful, but I bet if a really cute girl at a party started talking about astrology they would go along with it, but sadly scientist don't get invited to those kinds of parties. /.\
5. There's astrology, then there's horoscopes. The majority of horoscopes are nothing more than well worded nonsense i.e. the daily/monthly horoscopes. Astrology has been studied since the ancients, it's symbolism has been littered throughout this world. But I'm not entirely sure what you're asking.
6. Horoscopes are nonsense, which rely on chance and odds. If someone reads one and it matches up for them, they run around telling everyone else how true horoscopes are. Don't be sucked in by this gibberish.
