Celestial

Had an interesting, perspective stretching conversation with a friend about the zodiac and "signs" people say they born under.  Not something I grew up with at all.  Horoscopes were considered like glorified cookie  fortunes.  Irrelevant but also dangerous, if logic can take anyone there.  It seems like the stars, constellations and celestial calendars have been completely dismissed or uncomfortably ignored by conservative circles I've circulated in...or even orbited, while we're at it.  If stars could be misused, then there was no use at all for them apparently.

More and more I'm seeing created things as what I'll call neutral.  They have do certain properties and certain potential.  What we do with or think about (application and interpretation) these neutral things is a separate, often very entangled matter.  A knife is not bad or good.  It is simply an object. There are bad applications, like stabbing someone, or good ones, like skilled surgery or cutting into a juicy steak. (My apologies to non carnivores.)

Back to the stars.  If God created constellations and perhaps...I tread cautiously...a celestial calendar...then what might there be about them that is worth exploring, understanding and even valuing. I'm not talking about worshiping or trusting the stars. I am wondering what I might be missing through my all or nothing background that the star Creator is telling me about Himself and how He works.
