Question

Are horoscopes and zodiac signs true? I sometimes really get afraid that is it true. Please give me an explanation so that I can believe that horoscopes and zodiac signs are false.

Answer

To believe that by the stars coming in a certain formation it will lead to a certain event, and to believe as though the stars made this happen is an act of disbelief.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
