Historically, Christianity has had a varied attitude to astrology.

Roman Catholicism has gone from Popes consulting their personal astrologers to the modern catechism which strongly rejects the practice of astrology. The Dominican theologian Thomas Aquinas was very influential in the middle ages and followed Aristotle in proposing that the stars ruled the imperfect 'sublunary' body, while attempting to reconcile astrology with Christianity by stating that God ruled the soul. This allowed for a role of astrology in medical issues or weather prediction. However, it was more problematic if astrology sought to determine human fate. Natal prediction or Horary aka ''interrogating the stars'' came in for the strongest criticism in this respect.

The position of the protestant reformer Martin Luther was also more nuanced. In his book, Prophecy and Gnosis: Apocalypticism in the Wake of the Lutheran Reformation (Stanford, 1988). Robin Barnes suggests that Luther's attitudes towards astrology was more scepticism directed towards 'systematic' astrological predictions predicated on his strict adherence to scripture. However he goes on to state Luther refrained from dismissing astrology entirely and sometimes identified cosmic occurrences as eschatological. For example, Barnes goes on to examine a preface to the astrological predictions of Johannes Lichtenberger, published in 1527, in which Luther advocates the interpretation of celestial events but argues that they could never be categorised or used to make consistent predictions. This helps to explain the apparent paradox that one of Luther's closest associates , Philip Melanchthon was an astrologer.
