Hi everyone! I am not really a teen girl who desires to be awarded a license to read about ashtrology and be catholic without a guilty counscience, but it is something that has interested me as a lover of the people’s carachter, for who the Universe is really an important thing (for the Man, not necessaryly for their carachter).

I think that Thomas Moor was interested in something like that: How the birth and its atmosphere could affect the people’s carachter… There is also a verse at the Bible wich says something like : “I will give you signals at the Sky”. But I can’t accept any of two as a justificative of something that has marked the Babylonian culture!

There is also a scientificist explanaiton of that which says: We see at the most people of any zodhiacal sign only that that we know we must to see.

I am a lutheran who has become catholic, but I am someone who has toughts that have not changed in more than have accepted the ecclesiastic institutions and the scholastic… so I do not know what think about… I am as Kant a lutheran villager that has known the French Revolution and loves the rationality, but I am also, as Kant, someone who does not know about magisteric tradition, I do not want to create a monster like Kant has created…!

Thank you 😉

PS: I am just interested about that that asthrology cans say about carachters… but I think all that is a casual system.

Welcome to CAF, Archedreamer:

Well, to begin with, the Catholic Church regards “astrology” (if this is what you mean) as superstition. Any Catholic who practices whatever it is that they do, is committing the sin of superstition. The following is from Outlines of Moral Theology, by the Very Rev. Francis J. Connell, Chap. VII, p. 151:

“Astrology, as it exists with us, is also largely chicanery. But if one strives to obtain from the stars knowledge of the future, in as far as this is dependent on men’s free acts, this too is superstition. At most one could hold that the heavenly bodies exert an influence on the sensitive factors of human nature, and thus indirectly and fallibly influence men’s conduct. Such a doctrine has little to support it scientifically, but it would be free from the sin of superstition.”

You probably won’t find anyone here who might answer your deeper questions. Christians should not subscribe to astrology.

God bless,

I really thank you. So it is something that I will study in the future according to ecclesiastical care… I just am concerned by the predictive power that have the description of characters according to the zodiacal sign… but how I have said, it could be a superficial view.

Romano Guardini is where i get most of my ideas from, specially The End of the Modern World. There he explains the vital attitude of each Age according to the cosmic theories that each era developped.
