CATHOLIC INFORMATION
ASTROLOGY
Q. Why does the Catholic Church condemn astrology? Is it sinful
to have one’s horoscope taken?
A. The Catholic Church condemns astrology as a pagan supersti
tion, which leads to the denial of Divine Providence. The
stars exercise no influence whatever upon human life and hu
man affairs, and the casting of a horoscope or diagram of the
heavens at the birth of a child in order to fortell its future is
downright folly. St. Augustine condemns it strongly in his
“City of God,” and St. Thomas writes: “If anyone applies the
observation of the stars in order to foreknow casual or for
tuitous events, or to know with certitute future human actions,
his conduct is based on a false and vain opinion.
