First of all, this is not astrology, this is about signs in the heavens.

Genesis 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and †seasons, and for days and years; ...

Nelson, Thomas. Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) . Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

The first reason for the “lights in the firmament of the heavens” is for signs. The best explanation of this is found in E.W. Bullinger’s book, “The Witness of the Stars”

Building upon ancient astronomical sources and current scientific data, E.W. Bullinger displays how the constellations bear witness to the accuracy of biblical prophetic truths. Numerous celestial charts and diagrams are provided to lend vivid support to his conclusions. With the psalmist, one discovers that “the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork,” thus encouraging Bible students to look upward for the coming of Christ.

Dr. Bullinger takes Psalm 19 and, using it as a base, expands the understanding of astronomy to include confirmation of God’s word. This book is of value to the advanced student of Christian evidences, and for the average Christian it will give greater appreciation for God’s handiwork in the heavens

For signs and season yes but not for fortune telling! Another words for when spring was coming or for how to tell time or for what direction to take! Or for when to prepare for Passover. The Old Testament and New Testament has no codex for what planet means a king or for what star cluster constellation means God’s vengeance is coming...therefore make spears!
Jeremiah 10:2 1Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2Thus says the LORD, “Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens Although the nations are terrified by them;
For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Got that?

There are specific signs for sure that the Bible says we are to look for...but the bible mentions them specifically! We aren’t supposed to create astronomical horoscopes of the future using star patterns that we have no Biblical reference for to prove their accuracy which must be 100 per cent if it is of God! We aren’t supposed to be terrified of the signs of the heavens!
