Bogus. Astrology is not supported in the Bible.
Copied directly from the article under “Claims And Critiques”:
Looking for “signs” in the sky is astrology.
This is FALSE. Astrology is an idolatrous and occultic practice that often involves the deification of stars, planets, and moons. Astrologers often teach that these heavenly bodies control life on earth. To the contrary, the search for biblical signs in the heavens recognizes that it is the Creator God who made all things and set everything into motion in a preordained pattern. The heavenly bodies themselves have no power over our lives and we do not worship them.
The Bible says explicitly that there will be signs in the sky preceding the return of Christ (Matthew 24:30, Luke 21:11, Luke 21:25, Revelation 12:1-3). The Bible also says that the sun, moon, and stars were created for three reasons: 1. To separate day from night, 2. To give light to the earth, and 3. To indicate days, years, seasons, and signs (Genesis 1:14-15). Prophetic language frequently makes mention of lunar and solar eclipses (Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, Revelation 6:12) and God often focuses our attention on the stars (Genesis, 15:5, Isaiah 40:26, Job 38:31, Amos 5:8, Psalm 19:1).
Interestingly, the magi from the east were able to find the baby Jesus by following prophetic descriptions found in Numbers 24:17 and Genesis 49:9-10. They were able to identify the constellation Leo (”The Lion”) with the tribe of Judah and followed the Star of Bethlehem as it moved west and came to rest over Bethlehem.

“Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.” Jeremiah 10:2-5
Yessiree folks, the Lord ties people looking at the stars, and seeing them stop moving north in the sky, with the winter solstice, and the people’s vain actions that follow.
Worshipping the stars is certainly wrong, but naming them is no more sinful than naming a mountain or a river. If man named Pleiades, Orion, Mazzaroth, or Arcturus “and his sons”, God didn’t shy away from mentioning them to Job. (Job 38:31,32)
Personally, I fail to see how some of these collections of stars even remotely resemble the outline of the objects assigned to them. But, I’m told they had drugs way back then too.
