Answer

Jainism does not give central spiritual importance to astrology or kundli.

In Jain Dharma, the main belief is that a soul’s happiness, suffering, future condition, and liberation are governed by its own karma, not by planets, stars, or horoscope charts.

Explanation

Jainism teaches that:

• Every soul is responsible for its own karmas.
• Good or bad experiences arise from previously bound karma.
• Liberation is achieved through right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.
• No planet or external force can remove karma without inner purification.

Astrology and kundli may be culturally followed by some Jain families, especially for marriage timings, business decisions, or rituals. But this is more of a social or cultural practice, not the core teaching of Jain Dharma.

Spiritual Understanding

From the Jain point of view, relying too much on astrology can distract a person from true spiritual effort.

Jain Dharma encourages us to focus on:

• Ahimsa
• Truthfulness
• Self-discipline
• Tapasya
• Samayik
• Pratikraman
• Reducing passions like anger, pride, deceit, and greed

These are the real causes of spiritual progress.

Takeaway

Jainism does not deny that people may culturally use astrology, but spiritually it teaches that karma, self-effort, and right conduct are far more important than kundli or planetary influence.
