An ex-astrologer is exposing the dangers of believing in horoscopes and all kinds of divination. She warned Christians not to turn to anything outside of God.
Horoscopes And Divination
In the recent episode of “Ex-Psychic Saved Podcast,” former astrologer Marcia Montenegro shared her redemption story. She also exposed the dangers of being involved in divination and following horoscopes.
“[Divination is] when you’re seeking information supernaturally,” the podcast host, Jenn Nizza, said. “But outside of God, outside of God’s will.. God absolutely condemns it.”
Then she stressed that divination is getting information “beyond the normal means.” Hence, it involves shady practices using “tarot cards, astrology, numerology, and tea-leaf reading.”
Using The Bible To Justify Astrology
She also exposed that some will even try to use biblical references to justify astrology practices; using the Scripture out of context. As a result, many Christians get confused because they mix the two. But Marcia pointed out that it’s impossible to integrate “astrology and the Bible.”

But that was before she put her trust in God. She wants to educate people on the truth behind the lies she use to believe.
“What astrology is … it’s a form of divination,” she explained. “Because you’re reading a meaning into the planets that isn’t there.”
A Warning To Christians
Marcia warned that it may appear “kind of innocent.. because it’s so common.. popular.. and accessible.” But the truth is, this belief system creates a notion that is “completely opposed to God and denounced by God.”
“It looks gorgeous on the outside and it has maybe a beautiful wreath on the door,” she said. “And the lights are glowing in the window and you think, ‘Oh, what a beautiful home!’ And then you open up the front door and you go in and it’s dark and the floors have holes in them, and there’s pieces of wood sticking up.”
Marcia knows people might take this truth lightly. But still, she’s warning people, especially Christians, about it.
“God has completely forbidden it and denounced it, so that should be the end of the story for a Christian,” the former astrologer remarked.
