Christianity's relationship with astrology is complex. Astrology has been seen as demonic as well as has been utilized for guidance. This complex relationship continues in the twenty-first century. With two important New Testament texts in mind, the article argues that a first century BCE–CE astrological ‘hermeneutic’ illumines Christianity’s understanding of astrology. The article begins with a discussion of the tenacity of astrology in Western culture and then moves to Christianity's relationship with it by looking at some biblical texts and early Christian writings. After the discussion of two New Testament texts, the article concludes with implications for Christianity and astrology
