i have heard that horoscope sings are bad but when you are watching an anime like "Fruits Basket" it is bad?

Moved to the anime board.

I think in that the zodiac is more a part of the setting for the story, so it doesn't make the anime unacceptable. It doesn't use the zodiac for astrological purposes, really, which would be objectionable.

Did that make sense? 0.o

Title changed to 'Horoscopes in Anime' -- this really isn't about Fruits Basket specifically.

The only reason I'm against horoscopes or something is because they try to tell people the future instead of having them look to God, and therefore leading them astray. Since Furuba's not promoting the use of the zodiac to "tell your fortune" or "find love" then I don't see why it would be unacceptable.

I would agree with all the opinons voiced thus far. Never in Fruits Basket do they use thier prospective signs or the stars to predict futures. God made stars and he made people creative enough to see pictures in the nght sky; therefore, God doesn't have a problem with constellations. What he doesn't like is when we try to guide our lives w/ the star's aid instead of his. Since none in Fruits Basket does this, I don't have any objections to Fruits Basket's references to the Zodiac.

As long as using horoscopes isn't glorified. The characters in Fruits Basket are just part Zodiac animal--there's nothing about the stars in it. I also like how they mention God in the story of how the animals were chosen for the Zodiac...that story was funny. ^^
