Using the stars to predict the onset of heat, cold, or rain, such as the star Suhail or the square (al-Murbi'aniyyah) or others?

These are timings; heat has its timings and cold has its timings, there is no doubt about this. So if this is attributed to its time, there is no harm, yes, because Allah has established these things with their timings, yes.
