Divination is a form of idolatry. It glorifies false gods and teachings. Also... it is rooted in cards, Ouija boards, crystals, and a lot of other junk that was related to false gods.
However...
In the OT we do have prophets and seers who were gifted and sought out by many for a word of prophesy. We see the Urim and Thummim. We also see "casting lots" to determine divine will. We see "astrologers" that depict the message of the heavens, which utter knowledge both day and night. We see prophets and seers interpret dreams, visions, voices, etc. Of course the prophet and the seer are essentially the same thing. However, they both have a distinctly different role and function.
We have to remind ourselves... everything in Satan's arsenal is a copy of something originally employed by God. Satan is a counterfeiter. He's never all that original. Even the Zodiac is holy... if it's understood as God intended it to be. It's even mentioned in Scripture as the, Mazzaroth. It's original purpose was to foretell and prophetically explain future events relating to the Gospel. However, Satan has twisted it up to some how depict outlooks for individuals and private matters like finances and one's love life. Daneil and the Magi used it correctly. Here's a link to the Mazzaroth's actual message:

The lesser constellations can even become more descriptive. Essentially... the major themes of the entire Bible are slowly turning above our heads for all to see. An interesting read can be found at this link:

Psalm 19:1-3 (KJV)
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
