Acts 13:2-4 As they [Barnabas, Simeon, Lucius, Manaen, Saul] ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

The teachings Paul had been instructed in were teachings of the Pharisees. Although they had The Law to guide them, what they taught was false. Paul stepped free of those teachings when he saw Christ for what He really was. You can step free too. Jesus told Paul (he was still called Saul then) about true freedom but others were also aware of The Good News.
II Peter 1:16-19 We have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.
Astrologists in these last days are desperate to deceive everyone, gawping at stars and planets and the moon, burning incense to all the host of heaven. Paul on the other hand was taught by Jesus Himself.
Matthew 17:1-5 After six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
