CHRISTIAN ASTROLOGY

"The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament (expanse of heaven) literally shows His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
Their line (sound) has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world".

So says King David in Psalm 19:1-4.

Today's astrology is a perverted interpretation of the true astrology. It is in line with the type of astrology, witchcraft, soothsaying, fortune telling etc. that God condemned. True Christian astrology, and for that matter astrology before Christ, is ancient. Reading the stars and their interpretation was common to ancient civilizations before there was any writing. Before the Bible, man read the stars and constellations as revealing God's plan or as duplicating in their own religion. Actually astrology reveals intimate details of the revealing of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Pagan and present astrology only interprets or predicts events that take place on earth and in men's lives, many of the events unrelated to God at all. We will proceed to explain briefly this ancient method of the revelation of the will of God, which can rightly be called Christian Astrology.

The Zodiac is a 360 degree circle, divided into 12 sections of constellations called signs. Each constellation is a grouping of stars that form an animal or thing. Earth passes through these 12 constellations each year. Each constellation is called a "sign" and contains 30 degrees of the entire circle. Each 30 degree "piece of the pie" is divided into three 10 degree sections called decants. The decants are also constellations, further descriptive of the main sign. Both signs and decants are indicative of an aspect of Christ. When taken all together, they form a complete revelation of our Savior.

The constellations are given names reflecting what they depict, i.e. Virgo the virgin, Libra the scales of justice, Scorpio the serpent and so on. The revelation begins in the sign of Virgo and ends with the Leo. The 12 signs, each with three decants, are: Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aires, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and Leo.

The entire Zodiac, it's signs and decants for each sign are discussed briefly below.
