Fortune telling

Q: Can the change in the position of the planets really affects one's fate? I have seen many of my non-Muslim friends prediction being accurate? How can a fortune teller be right?

Celebrating birthdays

Q: I want to ask regarding celebrating family kids birthday parties. My in laws are not very religious so if someone's kid in their family celebrates a birthday party or celebrates a birthday party at home, what should I do?

I tell them that birthdays are not allowed in Islam and they even say "yes we know, we just doing it to keep the kids happy they can get toys or clothes on this occasion". If I don't go then my husband and in laws get upset and they tell me that I am not part of the family.
