Sometimes old priorities are hard to shake. Pray with us to break her hold on astrology.
John 3:28-"You yourselves are my witnesses that I(John the Baptist)said, 'I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him.' 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. For this reason my joy has been fulfilled. 30 He must increase but I must decrease."

Daniel 2:27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; 28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days...
Note the company that astrologers are listed with in Daniel.
Father, we just ask that oloren's wife will turn from astrolgy for answers and turn to You, the God of all wisdom, all knowledge, all power, all love. We ask for Your help in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen

I am in full agreement with this prayer.
Oloren> While I'm not the most knowlegeable on how to handle this kind of situation, I would be encouraged that your wife is interested in starting to read the Bible. If I were you, I'd try and encourage this behavior of her's and even offer to study the Bible with her. Maybe even suggest joining a Bible study group so she can be around other Christians and have them help influence her. I'm curious... do you guys attend church regularly anywhere?
Hopefully this will help show her the truth about God, and break her of her connection to astrology (with all due respect, I didn't think that people actually bought into the whole horoscopes and star charts routine, still).

I think the best way to get a wife saved is to love her...'Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her...so husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies...for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church.' (Eph. 5:25, 28a, 29) 'You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.' (1 Pet. 3:7)
God bless,

So she is not a Christian? Ok.
Rejoice that she is taking an interest in the Bible and pray, pray, pray. It is the Holy Spirit that can make the real change in her life. Are you both attending a healthy doctrinally sound church?

The things on which people focus, are the things which people do. I think it would be wise of you to praise your wife in her interest in the Bible. Celebrate with her the revelations she receives from reading it. Ask her questions about her interest in the Bible, or understanding of the Bible.
As for the astrology bit....I wouldn't even mention it. I'm sure she knows your stance on the whole thing, so why beat her over the head with it? Pray and trust that God is already speaking to her heart and drawing her to Him. Remember, according to the Word, your righteousness becomes her righteousness because you are one flesh. God will draw her to Him. She still has to make the decision to accept Jesus as her Savior, but she needs your support, not your judgment.
Bless you and your wife. May God's grace continually carry you toward the destiny that He has envisioned for you and your family.
