Do not practice astrology.
This mitzvah forbids the use of astrology, horoscopes, or the movement of the stars to predict the future or determine human fate. While the heavens proclaim Hashem’s glory, they were never meant to serve as tools for fortune-telling. Relying on astrological signs leads people away from trusting in divine providence and places power in natural forces rather than the Creator.
