I wanted to get your thoughts on Astrology. I do not believe in it myself, but I have a friend who does (not a christian). Does anyone have any good ideas on how to share with someone like this?

Your friend might be looking for some purpose or understanding of why things happen the way they do. I would use that as an opening to share the gospel with her. I wouldn't worry about discouraging her from her astrology at this point. It will be a lot easier to explain that after she was a believer and reading the Bible as a believer.
That's awesome that you were able to feel her out a little bit, Michelle. I think it's so frustrating when someone rushes into "preaching the Word" to someone and doesn't witness responsibly. How many people, I wonder, have been turned away from wanting to know more about God b/c someone was careless about how they were planting the seed?
I hope you get the opportunity to talk to her again soon to see where she is at in her beliefs. Maybe the horoscopes thing is just a distraction.
I myself do not believe in horoscopes..How can 1 message be meant for so many people? They always seem so general that anyone can somehow adapt it to what they are going through..besides only 1 person knows what are future holds...GOD!!
