Impermissibility of reading zodiac signs
Fatwa No: 3790

Question

What is the ruling of Islam on zodiac signs?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger.

It is impermissible to read zodiac signs to know what will happen in the future, because only Allaah Knows the Unseen. Allaah The Exalted Says (what means):

{[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone.} [Quran 72:26]
{Say, None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allaah} [Quran 27:65]
Allaah Knows best.
