Is practicing astrology against Islam?

Practicing astrology is generally considered against Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned against various practices that are seen as sinful or harmful to one’s faith. For instance, Sahih al-Bukhari records that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Avoid the seven destructive sins." When asked what those were, he listed, Associating partners with Allah, practicing magic, killing a soul forbidden by Allah except by right, consuming usury, consuming the property of orphans, fleeing the battlefield on the day of fighting, and slandering chaste believing women who are unaware. Sahih al-Bukhari 86:79SunniSAHIH.

Furthermore, in Al-Kafi, it is mentioned that Allah revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): "Indeed, intoxicants, gambling, idols, and divining arrows are abominations from the work of Satan, so avoid them." This indicates that practices associated with divination, which includes astrology, are viewed negatively. Thus, both Sunni and Shia sources affirm that engaging in astrology is not compatible with Islamic beliefs and practices.
