Is it permissible to read personality analyses on websites that rely on foreign studies and classify personalities by zodiac signs, given that they do not predict the future nor do they request the date of birth? And if it is forbidden, how can one atone for this sin?

Character analysis can be polytheism (shirk), science, or ignorance. Most analysis models related to inner matters are based on philosophical links and alleged secrets taken from the religious books of Eastern paganisms and the predictions of soothsayers, such as the characteristics of letters, colors, or names of Chinese zodiac signs.

Correct analysis, however, relies on real data and behavioral foundations, through which some general traits of a personality can be inferred. It also includes guidance on how to modify negative traits and enhance good ones, thereby improving the personality for the better.

It is not permissible to allow or forbid accessing the mentioned website due to lack of knowledge about it. It is safer to avoid such websites until they are endorsed by trustworthy people of knowledge and specialization.
