70 million Americans read the daily horoscope, but is there any validity to it? Are you a Leo or Taurus? Can the stars tell us about our personality traits?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of zodiac signs and what astrology can tell us about life and where this practice originated. We dig into what the Bible says about reading the stars (spoiler: there’s a lot of scripture about it!) and try to figure out what the correct approach to these ancient rituals are and if Christians should engage in zodiac signs! This is something that many Americans, and even Christians, engage in so we hope you find this helpful and encouraging for yourself and to start conversation with your friends!
