Researchers have turned up no evidence on Astrologers with Horoscope and its beliefs to support a link between personality, intelligence and birth dates.
A well documented and deep study of more than 15,000 people found "in no cases did date of birth relate to individual differences in personality or intelligence".
The authors, from universities in Germany and Denmark, wanted to further examine a link between date of birth and popular signs in astrology, but found "no support".
In the May issue of "Personality and Individual Differences", the authors write: "We conclude that the present large-scale study provides no evidence for the existence of relevant relationships between date of birth and individual differences in personality and general intelligence as claimed in Astrology.”
"The present large-scale study certainly found no independent effects of sun signs, elements, or gender, and thus yields no support for the common claims of astrology."
British television astrologer Russell Grant said "We all know that the sun signs are used in newspapers and magazines as a form of entertainment because we cannot sum up all people in terms of 12 signs," he said.
The Bible vs Astrology
The UCKG News Online looked for an insight on the aspect of whether God uses astrology and horoscope to ‘help’ people finding life guidance.
Bishop Wellington who currently oversees the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God in Australia said “Even though some people may try to establish a link between astrology and God, the Holy Scriptures repeatedly describe it as a form of sorcery and idolatry in God’s eyes.
The roots of Astrology can be traced in the ancient Babylon - a city filled with mysticism and pagan religions, which believed that the position and movements of stars and planets had an influence upon human beings - thus totally discarding God’s plans! Many of their false gods were named after the names of the planets (i.e. Venus-the goddess of love).
The truth is only Our Lord Jesus can positively change our present and future and still give us success wherever we go. See Isaiah 48:17.
In this respect the Bible says “All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward … let them save you … they cannot even save themselves.” Isaiah 47:13,14.
Another mention on this is also found in Deuteronomy 4:19.
Again, a true Christian should never entrust his life in something that leads against God’s Word. Adding to all already in here, people must ask themselves whether they prefer to be guided by a planet or by the Creator of the planets! The answer is obvious, isn’t it?” Concluded the Bishop.
