Astrology Predictions

Question

Is astrology accurate or scientific, and why do some predictions sometimes come true?

Answer 1

Peace be upon you. According to Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him), there is no harm in reading or listening to astrology predictions in themselves. However, since these predictions are not credible, one should not assert them with certainty, nor should others rely on them unless there is a rational or religious justification. Similarly, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him) states that while there is no harm in reading or listening to astrology predictions, the knowledge possessed by astrologers today is generally not reliable enough to instill confidence in revealing the unseen. Therefore, one should not base assertions on these predictions with certainty. May you be guided to all that is good.
