Can astrology really predict people's personalities and their relationship dynamics with others?

Whether it be fortune cookies, online personality tests, astrology...etc its all the same fake thing. They often just give you relatively good sounding things that aren't to specific. This way it will sound legit to most people. Its a "feel good" thing and not real. Astrology is about as real as santa.

Astrology merely relies on saying generally true things that apply to 90-100% of people, regardless of birth date. That works because of natural tendencies all have of cycles of being more and then less risk taking, more and then less extroverted ( relative to their own average), more engaged, less engaged. Over and over. So the horoscope seems to fit, but fits anyone in reality.

The MBTI is helpful when young to learn about your current strengths and temperament ( but as you get older, you continue to grow, so that by 55 you may have significantly changed in how well you enjoy parties, nature, etc.). But the MBTI can be helpful to help a person value, put to use, some of their strengths they didn't appreciate yet. The classic book Please Understand Me is quite good at laying out in depth the temperaments from the MBTI (and has the quiz inside).

God made that stars ,and all that there is, and yes there is some truth that life on earth is affected by the sky as it says in the bible .It is well explained in an article in a website , "Set Apart People " ,Prophecy in the moon and the stars .

As for western popular astrology ,without even the true astronomy it is mostly
nonsense ,and the people involved are not honest .
In Ancient India astrology reached a very high accuracy ,but even then,while they could tell your past ,they could not predict accurately into the future .

As for the man you are talking about ,you need to get rid of him toute de suite, as he is just a selfish egoist .Do not make excuses for him ,just walk away .

, The great Isaac Newton believed that the sky, and life on earth are linked and they are, without the slightest doubt .In order for christians to be taken seriously in this age they need to be sure that the statements they make have some slight connection to reality .
Based on what you have said ,many could say the same thing about religion , particularly Christianity . Just because there are bad practitioners with false ideas , does not mean that the whole subject is false .

[13] You are wearied with your many counsels;
let them stand forth and save you,
those who divide the heavens,
who gaze at the stars,
who at the new moons predict
what shall befall you.

[14] Behold, they are like stubble,
the fire consumes them;
they cannot deliver themselves
from the power of the flame.
No coal for warming oneself is this,
no fire to sit before! Isaiah 47:13-14 RSV

Believe in any such? No, at most, even the excellent MBTI is only is a nice help for a while. At best.

Believe that if you focus on loving God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, all your strength, then things will work out for you in the best ways for the long run; that's something I know a person can believe in. "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good"

Um, but could the guy have simply been controlled by forces? Like maybe his actions were influenced naturally by his personality, which has been pre-determined by astrology (the theory stating that a person's personality may be determined by the positioning of various planets [that represent various facets of his personality] within various constellations at his time of birth, and the interactions of these planets)?

Likewise could his behavior with the other woman have been pre-detemined or naturally influenced by the same astrological forces as well? Then their actions would have been out of their control?

Why would you let astrology help set your destiny? If you are born again, the Holy Spirit has a new plan, you are a new creation, old things (including astrology) are passed away. Your future is now led by the Holy Spirit, your teacher, helper who will TELL YOU THINGS TO COME.Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Any source sought outside of your relationship with God can be demonic. The exception would be psychological tests that would have a purpose and are scientific based. Still, if you seek God, He will give you far more information than anything else. After all, you were fearfully and wonderfully made by Him.

Maybe she is just curious for the right reasons .I would not be a Christian if I lived in the U.S. as it seems that binding minds ,keeping them ignorant, is a major goal among most .
I find the level of education among christians very low on all accounts .Thank heavens most great scientists were Europeans ,not American sola scripture .

Astrology does not set anyones destiny .Only God and the person does .Astrology
helps the understanding of ones character at a deeper level .
You know nothing about it except from pop culture ,but if you were truly honest,
you would say that, instead creating the demonic where there is none .

Did God make the Skies or not ? Can we see them ? Can we study them in a scientific manner to determine if we are affected by them ,and if events on the earth are ? The answer to all of this is YES .
Demons come from superstitious minds which attribute to God their own ignorance and fears , and drive people away from seeking God's Truth .
You assume that one cannot seek God and study His world ,which only creates mediocre minds .
Is there any culture more full of false prediction than than that of sola scripture followers and their obsession with the end of the world in revelation ? Millions ,billions of prédictions ,wasted words and emotions .Down right demonic it is ,having nothing to do with what God needs us to do .

Astrology claims that the position of astronomical bodies at the time of birth controls you life. Actually the position of the doctors and nurses and the delivery room would have more of a gravitational effect than some star that is light years away from Earth. Perhaps the location of the doctors and nurses at the moment of birth should be plotted instead? In short, I’m saying that it does not work.

I do believe that some people are intuitive and can sense things. However my experience is that the people who have that ability are not the ones who hang out signs and charge people for their services.

I can only speak of my own large family because I know their personalities well. The time of their birth does correlate with their personality traits ... some good, some bad. However where Jesus Christ is Lord, He moulds our character and our future is guided by His Spirit.

Hello, thank you for replying...
May I ask if their relationship dynamics are also similar to the calculations made by astrology? I wonder if people's actions are controlled by the way their personalities have been influenced by astrology, and I also wonder if the ways people interact in relationships are controlled by astrological influences :/

IF extra-terrestrial astrological Principalities & Powers in heaven really actually could control people's personalities (minds) & actions (bodies) on earth...

THEN why would humans accept that, as something other than an "inter-stellar imperialism" imposition, without resisting? I don't understand why the words "the stars control you" don't provoke ire & angst.

The only way it makes sense to me, is that it must somehow be true -- the fact that nobody gets upset, proves the alleged influence & psychological control.
