In Jain Dharma, astrology is not a central or essential path to spiritual progress. The emphasis is on one’s own karma, right conduct (anga, shila), and inner purification (self-discipline, tapas, bhakti as appropriate to tradition). Saints and scriptures discourage over-reliance on celestial omens or astrological predictions for spiritual aims.

Historically, some lay people might have consulted astrologers for mundane matters (timings, auspicious days), but this is not taught as a means to attain moksha. Both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions keep the focus on ethical conduct, renunciation, and right knowledge and view astrology as nonessential or even as a superstition that can distract from true spiritual effort.

If you’d like, I can share a concise summary from Jain sources on how karma and timing are understood in Jain philosophy and how that contrasts with superstitious or astrological beliefs.
