Hi MonkHi David,
A lot of moderate Christians are astrologers, i don't see any wrong in it.
Indeed i'm a luke warm one myself,
however the real essence of astrology is interpreting
the influence of the ancient gods, each zodiac sign
has a god or goddess that goes with it.
In regards to myself i usaully term myself an Archaeoastronomer,
due to the fact i write also on hostile forums to actual belief in the Zodiac.
I'm very warm towards astrologers, knowing how long it takes
to be a good one, before i was disabled, i was a student
at the Faculty of Astrological Studies but decided
to become a specialist in parans:-

My problem with understanding Petosiris is
he is a "Devout Christian"
and does practice Judicial Astrology, mentioned below:-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_astrology
He seems heretical to his own thesis by writing on astrology forums,
and there is extreme ambiguity to his Avatar Name that has ancient Egyptian connections:-

I have the whiff of hypocrisy,
the expression that comes to mind is "Hoist by one's own Petard":-

A FEW HISTORICAL NOTES
The mechanism of astrology has nothing to do with its practice.
Ptolemy thought he was doing physics,
the Babylonians and some Greeks believed they were doing divination,
or reading the will of the gods
or something to that effect (religious belief).
Causal conceptualization of astrology
is not something foreign to the university graduates,
It is just that they had 3 humors instead of the 4
that the kids in the kindergarten and high school used.
Personally
I believe in the supposed influence of the planets and stars
on people.
Does that make me a false astrologer?
Did you forget the quote about the traditional wine?
In the Anthology, there is mention of different schools
- for example the Hermetic school.
Valens had his own school.
Unfortunately, no lineage survived until today,
instead different people have taken the revival of surviving texts.
There's sativa and there's indica. And, there's hybrid!
I get it, if everyone is smoke weed everyday,
then everyone gets ''ROOTED'' in the tradition.
Mixing Astrology and Christianity is....problematic.
I have to deal with it regarding the Ages,
since the Age of Sidereal Pisces has been dubbed a Christian Age
by so many Modern Astrologers.
Waybread, he's just trolling all Modern Astrology with this one,
taking some time off from trolling just Tropical Astrology.
That is what a troll would say.
Takes one to know one.
