• Gal 519-21 Now the deeds of the flesh are
  evident, which are immorality, impurity,
  sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife,
  jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes,
  dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness,
  carousing, and things like these, of which I
  forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that
  those who practice such things will not inherit
  the kingdom of God.

Daily Horoscope
6

• Your energy is good and you've got all the
  information you need -- so get down to business
  and plan out the next week, month or year. You
  should find it incredibly simple to squeeze
  everything in.

7

• Bringing an outsider into a business situation
  will give you a whole new outlook. This, along
  with the strength of your will, can pull new
  opportunities towards you. Now is not the best
  time to welcome new guests into your home.

8

• Be discreet and don't present your ideas until
  you're certain that they're foolproof. You can
  make it up to them later. Get back to basics and
  reevaluate what is important in life.

9

• Serious mental work and analysis are on tap early
  today. Later, you'll make a good first impression
  at a social function. Ask someone older/wiser to
  steer you in the right direction if you screw up.
  

10

• Feelings may influence your judgment today. Let
  your common sense help you make the right
  decision. Trust your instincts. Emotional
  beginnings and a fresh start will establish a new
  relationship or new patterns of living for you
  now. Your conversations today are full of quick
  answers, great wit and a surplus of insights.
  This is a wonderful time to write and communicate
  with real originality. Music, spiritually filled
  visions, clear communication with others all go
  toward making this a very nice day, perhaps
  filled with some deep appreciation for all that
  is beautiful and fine. An invitation to a special
  event this evening is where you have your
  attention--you want to feel and look great.

11
The Basis For These Predictions
- or -

• We gain a more realistic attitude when the Moon
  enters efficient Virgo at 845 am EDT. The Virgo
  Moon narrows our focus as we analyze the best way
  to get our chores done today. The Sun's hard
  square with wounded Chiron can make us our own
  worst enemy as we question our capability,
  possibly basing a negative judgment on some
  previous failure. We could take ourselves too
  seriously now, for the Moon moves to join somber
  Saturn late in the day.

12

• The early morning time-period may be a bit
  strange due to a 5 hour void lunar dispensation
  from 1214AM PDT to 546AM PDT. If you happen to
  be awake and alert, finish old business in this
  time-cycle instead of starting bold ventures.
  Another reason for caution and slowing down your
  pace is that the Sun in Scorpio makes a
  frictional square to Chiron in Aquarius (238AM
  PDT). While this solar alignment to Chiron takes
  place near the beginning of the day, it can still
  provide a strong impact later on. When Chiron is
  being illuminated in this manner, a twilight-zone
  type of influence can appear to descend on Planet
  Earth. Your timing could be slightly off and
  unusual forces seem to be in the catbird seat
  giving you mixed signals. On the other hand, it
  is probably a good day to learn more about yoga,
  spiritual subjects, alternative medicine and
  holistic healing. This is definitely magnified by
  the Moon's entry into Virgo (546AM PDT)

Chiron (ki-ran) the wisest of all centaurs,
famous for his knowledge of medicine he is the
teacher of Asclepius, Achilles, and Hercules.

Why Do People Believe Astrology?

• Answer Because they want to!

15
Definitions

• Astrology Is the divination of the supposed
  influence of the stars upon human affairs and
  events by their positions and aspects.
• Divination The art or practice that seeks to
  foresee or foretell future events or discover
  hidden knowledge usually by the study of omens or
  by the aid of supernatural powers.

16
Definitions

• Encyclopedia Americana says Astrology, in spite
  of attempts to establish itself as a science must
  be considered a pseudoscience and a divinatory
  art.
• Astronomy IS THE SCIENCE of celestial bodies
  and of their magnitudes, motions, and
  constitution. (Webster)

17
History of Astrology

• Ancient Babylon
• Mesopotamian Magicians

18
Astrology Can Be Challenged From Several Logical
Approaches

• Science
• Common Sense
• Track Record
• What God Says!

19
Science Versus Astrology

• It is simply a mistake to imagine that the
  forces exerted by stars and planets at the moment
  of birth can in any way shape our futures.
  Neither is it true that the position of distant
  heavenly bodies make certain days or periods more
  favorable to particular kinds of action, or that
  the sign under which one was born determines
  ones compatibility or incompatibility with other
  people. We must all face the world and we must
  realize that our futures lie in ourselves, and
  not in the stars.

20
Common Sense Versus Astrology

• Same Birthday / Same Geographic Areas
• Should have the same experiences in life!

21
Track Record Versus Astrology

• Deu 1820-22 'But the prophet who speaks a word
  presumptuously in My name which I have not
  commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the
  name of other gods, that prophet shall die.' "You
  may say in your heart, 'How will we know the word
  which the LORD has not spoken?' "When a prophet
  speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does
  not come about or come true, that is the thing
  which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has
  spoken it presumptuously you shall not be afraid
  of him.

22
What God Says Versus Astrology

• Deu 189-14 "When you enter the land which the
  LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to
  imitate the detestable things of those nations.
  "There shall not be found among you anyone who
  makes his son or his daughter pass through the
  fire, one who uses divination, one who practices
  witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a
  sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium,
  or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.
  "For whoever does these things is detestable to
  the LORD and because of these detestable things
  the LORD your God will drive them out before you.
  "You shall be blameless before the LORD your
  God. "For those nations, which you shall
  dispossess, listen to those who practice
  witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the
  LORD your God has not allowed you to do so.

23

• Isa 819 When they say to you, "Consult the
  mediums and the spiritists who whisper and
  mutter," should not a people consult their God?
  Should they consult the dead on behalf of the
  living?

24
Astrology Is Condemned By Name

• Isa 4713-14 "You are wearied with your many
  counsels Let now the astrologers, Those who
  prophesy by the stars, Those who predict by the
  new moons, Stand up and save you from what will
  come upon you. "Behold, they have become like
  stubble, Fire burns them They cannot deliver
  themselves from the power of the flame

25
O.T. Versus N.T.

• Old Testament
• Astrology is condemned by name (Isa 47)
• Astrology is detestable to God (Deut 18)
• Astrology is associated with Sorcery (Deut 18,
  etc)

New Testament Sorcery and things like it are
condemned as works of the flesh. (Galatians
519-21)
26

• Gal 519-21 Now the deeds of the flesh are
  evident, which are immorality, impurity,
  sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife,
  jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes,
  dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness,
  carousing, and things like these, of which I
  forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that
  those who practice such things will not inherit
  the kingdom of God.

27
Dont Worry About Whether Youre A Leo Or
Sagittarius

• Are you a Christian?

28
The Gospel has Gods power to save and insure the
future!
29
Cast off the things of darkness..

• Act 1918-19 Many also of those who had believed
  kept coming, confessing and disclosing their
  practices. And many of those who practiced magic
  brought their books together and began burning
  them in the sight of everyone and they counted
  up the price of them and found it fifty thousand
  pieces of silver.
