The Catholic church and I agree on one thing -- and possibly ONLY one thing, given their current PRO child molestation policies -- and that is this: Divination is a bad thing. The Catholic church has pronounced astrology "the work of the devil" based on the above idea -- that divination/prophecy are a bad thing -- an idea I agree with but which doesn't actually apply to MOST of astrology. Unfortunately, it's what astrology has a reputation for and most likely the folks running the Catholic church who do not seem to really know their own history[1] have banned astrology because of the deficiencies of canned astrology without understanding that this is not the full story on astrology. As noted previously on this blog, in my youth I had a set of Tarot cards. I also had some other set of cards for "predicting the future" based on the I-Ching, probably a very watered-down version of it. At some point, I gave up both of them though my interest in astrology...
