Answer

Yes, there are traditional Indian astrology-related works that are connected with Jain and Prakrit literary traditions, but the subject should be stated carefully.

In Jain tradition, Prakrit literature mainly focuses on Dharma, philosophy, conduct, karma theory, stories, cosmology, and spiritual liberation. Astrology was not the central purpose of Jain scriptures, but Jain scholars did compose or preserve works related to astronomy, cosmology, calendrical calculation, omens, and related sciences in Prakrit, Sanskrit, and later regional languages.

Explanation

In older Indian usage, the boundary between:

• Jyotiṣa — astronomy, calendar science, astrology
• Gaṇita — calculation and mathematics
• Nimitta — omens and signs
• Cosmology — structure of the universe

was often not as sharply separated as today.

Within Jain tradition, some Prakrit texts discuss:

• time cycles, lunar days, months, and cosmic time,
• heavenly bodies within Jain cosmology,
• auspicious and inauspicious signs,
• dreams and omens, especially connected with great beings,
• calendar-related observances for religious practice.

However, if by “astrology books” you mean practical horoscope-making texts in Prakrit, such works are less commonly known than Sanskrit jyotiṣa works.

Jain Perspective

Jain Dharma accepts that worldly conditions arise through karma, time, place, nature, and effort. But Jain teaching does not encourage blind dependence on astrology. The main emphasis is on:

• right faith,
• right knowledge,
• right conduct,
• self-discipline,
• karma purification.

Astrological knowledge may belong to worldly sciences, but liberation depends on spiritual effort, not planetary influence.

Takeaway

Yes, Prakrit and Jain literary traditions contain material related to astrology, astronomy, omens, calendars, and cosmology, but Jain Dharma gives higher importance to karma, self-control, and liberation than to astrology.
