In Jainism, astrology is not a part of the main religious path.

Key points in simple words:

1. Focus is on karma, not planets

- Jain dharma teaches that what you experience is mainly due to your own karma (your actions, thoughts, intentions), not because of stars and planets. - Your future changes by right effort – ahimsa, satya, aparigraha, etc. – not by matching horoscopes.

1. Scriptures do not make astrology a core subject

- Agams and main Jain shastras focus on: - Right faith (samyak darshan) - Right knowledge (samyak jnān) - Right conduct (samyak chāritra) - They do not teach that you must follow astrology for progress or safety.

1. Digambar and Shvetambar view

- Both traditions put importance on purushārth (self‑effort) and karmic law. - Neither has astrology as an essential, universal Jain practice. - If some texts or pandits talk about “Jain astrology”, it is mostly cultural/optional, not core doctrine.

1. Why some Jains still use astrology

- Many Jains check “muhurat”, “kundli”, etc. because of family and social custom, not because Jain dharma requires it. - Such customs should never be put above Jain principles like non‑violence, truth, and personal responsibility.

1. Practical Jain approach

- Do not blame stars for your problems; look at your karma and behaviour. - Do not use astrology as an excuse: “My stars are bad, so I’ll suffer anyway.” - Instead, improve your life through: - Pratikraman, samayik, svādhyāy - Controlling anger, greed, pride, deceit - Living simply and honestly
