Billy Graham explicitly warned against reading horoscopes, categorizing astrology as an occult practice that believers should avoid. He argued that while God created the stars, they are intended to testify to His power and glory, not to guide humans or foretell the future.

According to Graham, seeking guidance from horoscopes reflects a lack of trust in God and opens individuals to spiritual forces that are not from God. He stated that:

Only God knows the future; human predictions are, at best, guesswork and, at worst, dangerous occult involvement. Reading horoscopes is a substitute for the divine guidance found in the Bible. Christians should not engage in sorcery, interpreting omens, or magic, as the Bible clearly warns against such practices.

Billy Graham cited several specific Bible verses to support his stance against horoscope reading and astrology:

Deuteronomy 18:9–13; He referenced this passage, which forbids God’s people from engaging in divination, sorcery, interpreting omens, witchcraft, and consulting the dead, calling these practices “detestable to the Lord.”

Isaiah 47:13–14; Graham frequently cited these verses, in which the prophet Isaiah mocks astrologers and stargazers, challenging them to save Babylon from its coming judgment and highlighting their powerlessness.

Psalm 19:1; He emphasized this verse, “The heavens declare the glory of God,” to argue that the stars were created to reflect God’s power and glory, not to predict human destinies.

Psalm 23:1–2; Psalm 25:9, 12; Psalm 32:8; Luke 1:79; John 7:17: Graham encouraged believers to seek guidance from God through His Word and the Holy Spirit, referencing these passages about God’s guidance and wisdom.

As God leads, we will be discussing the occult according to what the Scriptures say.
