What does Islam say about horoscopes?
Question: Is there any truth to zodiac signs? What does Islam say about horoscopes?
Answer: From the perspective of forming fundamental temperament characteristics, there is no influence of months, days, or hours (rising sign) of birthdate on a person's temperament. Scientific research has demonstrated this lack of influence. (1)
There are only studies suggesting that the season of a person's birth, whether it is winter, spring, or summer, may have an impact on the person's tendency toward depression. (2)
Quran or Sunnah does not mention the influence of zodiac signs on character+personality.
Therefore, believing in something that revelation does not mention and science disproves would not be accurate.
However, there are differences in temperament among individuals. Those genuinely curious about this can explore personality models such as the Big 5, Big 30, MBTI or Enneagram.
The apparent accuracy of zodiac signs is due to general and interpretable statements made by those commenting on the subject. Statements like "You are actually very emotional but can't express it" are examples of these general comments. It is popular because it cannot be rationally controlled, and it provides people with topics for conversation.
