Astrology in the Bible

What does the Bible say about Astrology? The Bible actually holds numerous mentions of astrology. In biblical times, people used the stars for navigation and looked to the night sky as a heavenly realm. Christians who assume that astrology is evil would be astonished to discover that the Bible is saturated with astrology and even Jesus made references to astrology.

People regularly utilized and studied the stars in Biblical times. Most people, even then, knew the significance of the sun on the Earth. One of the most renowned astrological stories in the Bible is the star of Bethlehem. The three kings used the star as a navigational marker on their way to see the newborn baby Jesus.
