The Bible condemns divination and worship of the heavens, both of which astrology is a part.

1. Occult divination and reading omens is condemned in Deut. 18:9 - 12 and Daniel 5:7a. The Hebrew words "ashshaph" and "gzar" used in these and other Old Testament passages translate as "conjuror", "enchanter", "soothsayer" and "astrologer". Often the translation into English as "conjuror" or "soothsayer" include those who practised astrology.
2. Astrology originated in worship of the stars and heavens which is condemned in Deut. 4:19, 17:3 and Acts 7:42.
3. Seeking guidance from astrology or any type of divination can replace seeking God for advice and is condemned in Daniel 2:27 - 28 and Isaiah 47:13. Astrology is explicitly condemned in the latter passage.
4. Astrology is not 100% accurate and is therefore not of God as described in Deut.18:21 - 22.
The quest for self-fulfillment and spiritual satisfaction only leads to a constant searching, and a thirst that can only be quenched by the living water of Jesus Christ (John 4:14).
