“Astrology” as currently understood, attempting to “know” the future for personal gain, is forbidden in scripture. This leads people of good intent to condemn anything that sounds like it, even though the Bible itself is filled with what are obvious astrological references, particularly in prophecy.

The birth of Jesus Christ was heralded by astrological signs, the Magi knew it, so did Herod who ordered the killing of all male infants to try to remove the threat to him, personally. Herod behaved in the manner forbidden by scripture. The Magi did not. Both observed signs, both arrived at the same conclusion. One was not forbidden, the other was. It’s very helpful to understand the distinction.

What is the meaning of this tetrad, these four “blood moons?” It seems foreboding to those who accept that there have been and will be signs in the stars, sun and moon as the Bible tells us. It also leads to all manner of wild speculation and erroneous prognostications, from the deluded and from those seeking personal gain. There it is again, personal gain.

I don’t pretend to know what it means, or if it means anything at all. I tend to look at a few “mundane” astrologers online, who know the methods of astrology as it was practiced historically, pertaining to the fate of nations and the world, heralding the arrival of kings or the departure of them. They don’t think it’s good, but are not in agreement about anything but that it pertains to Israel in connection with the United States.

Take that for what it’s worth. Very little, to be honest. They’ve been wrong as often as right in my observation. I just watch as we’re commanded to do, and that appears to be one source of potential understanding.

RegulatorCountry, maybe you accidentally posted this reply. I did not speak of astrology (having very little knowledge of it) nor did I speak of personal gain in my post. You must have meant to reply to someone else.
