Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello, everyone, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I am your host Joseph Bonner, and today we're going
to be talking about zodiac signs and answering a question,
can they really.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Help you plan for the future?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Now? The zodiac signs have captivated humanity for millennia. Originating
from ancient Babylon around eighteen hundreds, the zodiac was initially
a tool used for divination, linking the position of the
stars to human affairs. This podcast, we're going to delve
into the history of zodiac signs. They're connectioned to spiritism

(00:36):
and the ocult, but also encourage our listeners to use
sounders of mind and common sense when planning for the future. Now.
The term zodiac is actually derived from a Greek phrase
which literally.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Means circle of animals.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
The Babylonians divided the sky into twelve sections, each associated
with specific constellations. This later evolved into twelve zodiac signs
are recognized today.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
The system was a method for endeavoring to predict the future,
an also reflection of humanity's desire to understand themselves as
well as their present sufferings. Now, the zodiac spread throughout
the centuries to other cultures. It was adopted by the Greeks,
who linked the planetary influences and personal traits. Ptoleming became

(01:24):
a foundational text in astrology, and the Romans further popularizes beliefs,
embedding astrology into their daily life, politics, and agriculture.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Now it has a strong connection to the occult.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
The connection between zodiac signs and spiritism is profound.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
For those individuals.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Who tend to follow the zodiac signs, then you probably
already know that many of these signs that are present
are linked specifically with mysticism, supernatural and foretelling of the
your devonation. So one of the things I definitely want

(02:04):
to mention is that a lot of people who don't
realize this, as these teachings of the zodiac sign and
spiritism are profound and indirect opposition to the teachings of
a loving, almighty God who gives the servants inside about
the future, as taught in many books viewed as holy.
So the dangers though of spiritism. Want to get a
little bit more deeper into this, is that although it

(02:26):
has a powerful allure, it's connection to spiritism name could
is enticing, but it does negatively.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Impact those who look to it and who allow.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
It to influence their decisions, which is why I encourage
you to use the spirit of a sound mind instead
of relying on the vallible astrological predictions that can create
a dependency that undermines personal agency and critical thinking. I
encourage you to use the spirit of a sound mind

(03:00):
and recognize the pagan history of astrology and the pitfalls
of spiritistic superstition. Now, instead of seeking answers in the stars,
individuals should more readily focus on practical solutions for preparing
for the future. So alternative solutions for future preparations are
a very simple right education and skillful development. Invest Our

(03:20):
time in learning new skills, enhance existing ones, continue our education.
This can empower us to navigate life and certainties with
more confidence instead of relying on the zodiac sign. Another
powerful tool is self reflection. Engage in practices such as
journaling to foster self awareness, understanding personal strengths and weaknesses.

(03:42):
This can guide good decision making. Not to forget goal setting,
establish clear achievable goals, break down larger aspirations into manageable steps,
and then create a roadmap for your own success. Community
engagement build soort of network. This can provide you with
the encouragement and the resources that you need to move forward.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Collaborate with others.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
This can lead to new opportunities for you and insights.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Professional guidance.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Seek advice from mentors or professionals and relevant fields and
feels that maybe perhaps you desire to step into anter
venture into This can offer a valuable perspective and strategies
for future planning. Now, the history of zodiac signs and
its inclination of human curiosity on their quest for meaning

(04:37):
is understandable. However, its connection to spiritism in the occult
is undeniable. It is essential to understand how these beliefs
negatively impact a person's professional, emotional, and mental development. By
prioritizing sounders of minor and practical solutions, individuals can prepare
for the future with confidence, steering their own future rather

(04:58):
than relying on spirit artistic celestial guesses embraced personal agency
and rational thought. This can lead to a more meaningful
and empowered life free who can us constraints of superstition
and demonic influence.
