Short answer: Jainism does not treat astrology as a reliable or essential path. The core teaching is that one’s karma and personal effort determine a person’s present and future, not the positions of stars or planets.

Key points:

• What matters most in Jain path is right conduct (non-violence, truth, non-possessiveness), self-discipline, and purification of the mind.
• Karma is the primary driver of our experiences. While celestial events exist, they do not ordain our fate or liberation.
• Astrology or horoscopy is not a central or required part of Jain practice. Some people may observe customs or folklore around auspicious times, but this is cultural rather than doctrinal.

Digambar and Shvetambar traditions share this basic stance: reliance on karma and inner spiritual effort takes precedence over predicting or controlling the future through stars.

If you’d like, I can point to Jain teachings or passages that discuss karma and agency in more detail.
