Reading horoscope in newspapers and magazines (which describes a person’s personality and future) and going by fortunetellers and believing in what they say, is totally haraam and is a major sin. Nabi (saw) has said: whoever goes by a fortuneteller to ask anything (regarding his future), and he believes in what he says, then he has remained indigent from the deen and Quraan, revealed on Muhammad(saw).And if he asks and does not believe in what he says, then too, due to the evilness of that sin, his salaah will not be accepted for forty days.
