9 Things You Should Know About Astrology

[That article cites the biblical report that the “Magi” (or “wise men“) described in Matthew 2:1-12 were pagan astrologers. While that historical report is accurate, many people — including many who identify as Christians — take that historical report from Matthew as biblical support for belief in astrology. That idea is challenged by serious biblical scholars, however.]
“Proponents of astrology have long appealed to Matthew 2:1–12 in support of their claims that the Bible supports astrological practice. The passage, which tells of the quest of the Magi to find the infant Jesus, has thus been interpreted to mean that the Magi were Persian astrologers who used their occult means to ascertain the ‘Star of Bethlehem’ in order to determine Jesus’ birthplace… A balanced, scholarly approach is necessary to reveal the objective meaning and intent of the passage in hand.”
