Astrology, the age-old system of divination that seeks to establish a correlation between celestial phenomena and events on Earth, has managed to sustain its allure across millennia. Despite centuries of scientific advancements, the quest for guidance, for understanding our identities, and for peeking into the future through the alignment of stars and planets persists. As a Christian apologist, I have ventured to confront this deeply entrenched belief system that not only deviates from core Judeo-Christian teachings but also subverts scientific understanding. This book aims to undertake a comprehensive examination of astrology from a Christian apologetic point of view. I invite readers from all walks of life to journey with me through a critical exploration of astrology's foundations, its appeal, its inconsistencies, and its conflict with both scientific reason and Christian faith. The objective here is not merely to criticize but to provide a nuanced understanding of why astrology is incompatible with a worldview anchored in the teachings of the Bible and the advancements of modern science.
