Yes, there is a limited connection, but Jainism does not place primary authority on Vedic astrology.

In Jain thought:

• Karma is the main force shaping the soul’s experiences.
• Grahas / nakshatras / planetary positions are not the ultimate cause of happiness or suffering.
• Astrology may be seen as part of the worldly framework of nature, but it does not override karma.
• Jainism emphasizes self-effort, right conduct, penance, and purification of the soul over astrological dependence.

So, from a Jain viewpoint:

• Vedic astrology can exist as a worldly system of prediction, but
• it is not central to Jain philosophy, and
• Jain Dharma does not encourage relying on it for spiritual progress.

The Jain path focuses on:

• Samyak Darshan,
• Samyak Gyan,
• Samyak Charitra,
• and liberation through karma destruction, not through planetary remedies.

If you want, I can also explain how Jain texts view navagraha, nakshatras, and birth charts in a simple way.
