Astrology and Yoga

Excerpts from Sri Chinmoy's Book - Astrology the Supernatural and the Beyond

What is the difference between Astrology and Yoga?

Astrology does not have the power to change our fate, but spirituality or Yoga does have this power. The difference between astrology and Yoga is that astrology only indicates; it indicates the future on the basis of the past, but it does not change it. Yoga, however, can actually defeat the past and shape the future. Astrology plays its role most effectively until one has entered into deeper spirituality. Before one accepts spirituality, astrology is very powerful, like a lion. Then when one enters into a deeper spiritual life, astrology becomes a tiny household cat. ~ Sri Chinmoy
