Astrology is not condemned in the Bible
In Isaiah we have read:
Isaiah 47:13 "You are wearied in the multitudes of your counsel; Let now the ASTROLOGERS, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from what is to come upon you. 14) Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; It shall not be a coal to be warmed by, Nor a fire to sit before.'

This very clearly is using the word "you" for talking directly to Babylon. It is also clear here that the word "they" refers to the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators.
ok.
He who sais the two verses prensents the opinion that the Astrologers cannot save the bablyonian Kings from fate, even if the babylonian Kings would want that. Little knows he who sais these two verses about babylonian Kings, or expects the babylonian Kings who listen to be kidn of over-axious and superstitious, however, the babylonian Kings did never ask Astrologers to save them Kings from fate. They did not ask them, beacuse it's not the job of Astrologers to save someone from fate. Astrology IS NOT fate alteration. The whole two verses is nothing else than an empty bluff. Nowhere in the bible are Astrologers really burned. Are not, because they never did any divinely important wrong. Only the catholic Church hundreds of years later burned witches. Burned them because they knew too much.
