“Belief in astrology and the casting of horoscopes are in clear opposition to the letter and spirit of Islaam. It is really the empty soul, which has not tasted real Eemaan (belief) that seeks out these paths. Essentially these paths, represent a vain attempt to escape Qadar (fate). The ignorant believe that if they know what is in store for them tomorrow, they can prepare from today. In that way they may avoid the bad and ensure the good.
Yet, Allaah’s messenger was told by Allaah to say: “If I knew the unseen, I would surely have only sought the good. But, I am only a warner and a bearer of glad tidings for believers.”
[Al-Qur’an Soorah al-A`raaf 7:188]
