We join with you in prayer and we are encouraged by your desire to turn away from zodiac signs and astrology and to seek a fresh start with your high school program, and we bring both requests before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, which you have rightly invoked, for it is only through Him we have access to God.
We understand your heart to want those things removed from your memory. The Word of God is very clear that astrology, divination, and seeking guidance from the stars is not from God and is forbidden for His people. As it is written, There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer Deuteronomy 18:10, and again, You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators, stand up and save you from the things that will come on you Isaiah 47:13. God calls us not to look to the stars for our identity or future, but to look to Christ who made the stars and who holds our future in His hands.
We want to gently encourage you that God does not typically work by simply erasing our memories, but by renewing our minds and filling them with what is true and holy. Instead of asking only to forget, we can ask Him to transform our thinking so that those old things lose their power over us. As Scripture says, Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind Romans 12:2. We are also taught to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5 and to think on whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely Philippians 4:8. When we fill our minds daily with God's Word, prayer, and worship, the old influences fade and Christ takes their place. We encourage you to remove any books, apps, websites, or social media that promote zodiac teaching, and to replace that time with reading the Bible, so that God can create in you a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit within you Psalm 51:10.
We also hear your desire to have an opportunity to redo your high school program. We do not know all the circumstances that led to this desire, whether it is regret, unfinished work, or a longing for a second chance, but God knows and He cares about your future. He promises, I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten Joel 2:25, and For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11. Whether He opens a door to literally redo the program or whether He leads you forward on a different path to complete your education, we trust that He will guide you and use your diligence for His glory. We encourage you to study to show yourself approved 2 Timothy 2:15 and to do all your work heartily as unto the Lord.
We pray together for you now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one to You. Lord, we thank You that they desire to turn from the deception of zodiac signs and to have a mind that honors You. We ask You to cleanse their mind and renew their thoughts by the power of Your Holy Spirit and Your Word. Help them to forget what needs to be forgotten and more importantly to remember what is true, that they are fearfully and wonderfully made and their identity is in Christ alone. Guard their heart from returning to those things and fill them with Your peace. Father, we also lift up their desire concerning their high school program. You know the disappointment and the hope they carry. If it is Your will, open the door for a new opportunity to learn and to complete this season of education, and give them wisdom, discipline, and favor with teachers and authorities. If You have a different and better path, make it clear and give them contentment to follow where You lead. Restore what has been lost and use their education for Your purposes. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and mediator. Amen.

Thank you for sharing this so plainly with us. We hear how much you want a clean break from anything to do with zodiac signs and a real chance to start your high school program over. Bringing both of those desires to the Father in Jesus' name is a good and honest step.
Wanting those old ideas to just disappear makes sense. What we have seen is that God often renews our minds more like training than like flipping a switch. Over time, as we keep turning toward Him, the old patterns lose their grip and new ones grow stronger. It can help to have a simple plan for when a zodiac thought comes up, to pause, talk to the Lord briefly, and turn your attention to something true and useful in that moment. It also helps to clear away old sources if you still have apps, accounts or books that keep bringing it back.
For school, a practical next step could be reaching out to your former high school counseling office or a local adult education center and asking what options exist where you live for redoing credits, whether that is re-enrolling, finishing online, or through an equivalency program. They can tell you what doors are actually open and what paperwork you would need.
Father, we lift anonymous to You in Jesus' name. Quiet the pull of those old thoughts and fill his mind with Your peace. Give him wisdom and favor as he looks into schooling again, and guide his steps toward what is best for his future. Amen.

We have received your honest prayer and we join with you in bringing it before the throne of grace.
It is a good and right desire to turn away from the darkness of zodiac signs and all that belongs to astrology. Such things hide from the mind what it ought to see and keep the soul under the power of darkness, but our God is able to deliver. As it is written, He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son, and that deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. We do not look to our own strength to forget or to cleanse ourselves, for the most devout may grow lukewarm and the strongest may falter, but we look to our heavenly Father alone.
So we pray for you, that the Lord who has found a ransom in His own Son would speak over you, Deliver him from going down to the pit. We ask that He would wash you thoroughly and cleanse you from all that has defiled the inward parts, that He would blot out what should not remain and in the hidden part make you to know wisdom. We do not ask merely for an empty memory, but for a renewed mind, filled with truth. May the Lord renew your strength as they that wait upon Him, and cause your soul to drink from the overflowing spring of His Word, so that what is vain and false is put away and forgotten as you are occupied with Christ.
We also bring before the Lord your desire for an opportunity to redo your high school program. We ask that if it be His will, He would open that door for you in His providence, and give you diligence, clarity of mind, and perseverance to use such an opportunity well for His glory. We pray that He would order your steps and that you would seek first His kingdom, trusting Him with the path ahead.
May the Lord keep you, cause you to live and declare the works of the Lord, and to rejoice in the liberty He gives to those whom He has ransomed. We commend you to His faithful keeping through Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name we pray. Amen.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your prayer has been heard and we thank God that you have brought this desire before Him in the name of Jesus Christ. You ask that the memory of zodiac signs would be taken away and that you might have an opportunity to redo your high school program. This is a right prayer, and we join you in it.
Your wish to forget the zodiac is according to the mind of Christ. The Scriptures show that astrology has no power to tell our lives or our future, and that Christ at His coming put down such error and overthrew it. The star that appeared at His birth did not prove astrology true, but rather showed that He is Lord over the stars and not subject to them. To turn away from these signs is to turn from vanity to the living God, and God is pleased when we desire to forget what belongs to idols and to remember Him instead.
The apostle says, forgetting the things which are behind and reaching forth to the things which are before, let us press on toward the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. This forgetting is not only a work of memory, but of the heart. As it is written, forget also your own people and your father's house, so shall the King greatly desire your beauty. That beauty is of the soul, and forgetting in this sense means to leave behind sins and old ways that would hold us back. When you ask God to cleanse your memory of zodiac signs, you are asking for that holy forgetting, so that your mind may be renewed and filled with what is true and good.
We pray for you now. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, who alone is our salvation, we ask You to cleanse and renew this mind. Wash away fascination with the zodiac and all trust in the stars, and fill this heart with love for Your Word and Your truth. Grant peace where there has been confusion, and help to forget what should be forgotten and to remember what should be remembered. If it is Your will, open the door to redo the high school program, and grant diligence, clarity, and steadiness in study. Help to press forward day by day toward the calling You have given in Christ, not looking back with regret but looking ahead with hope. Guard what is gained and help to grow step by step, mastering one thing at a time as a good worker tends his field, with patience and faithfulness. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
Take courage and walk forward. Give yourself to prayer, to reading Scripture, and to faithful work in your studies. Portion out your labor as you would a harvest, setting right one thing in one season and another in the next, and keeping what you have gained. Do not dwell on how many times you have stumbled, but on how much remains before you in Christ, and run with perseverance the course He has set before you. God is able to make even one who has fallen recover that beauty of soul which He desires.
