Astrology and Yoga connection?

[Milos Uzelac]

I just went to a cheap (economically) class of yoga for the first time. This yoga teacher before we started doing ashtanga yoga started talking about astrology, zodiac signs in determining character and the 4 basic elements and its connection to yoga and as a factor in influencing higher states of consciousness. I know nothing of the the topic and would like to know what some of you guys have read and learned about the viability and truth of this connection eg. Saturn or Jupiter influencing in awakening in the unconscious or zodiac sign determining spiritual inclination. I heard Sadghuru talk about the the effect of earths pole sand the benefit of full moon meditation and so forth and that to me (even though I am lazy about astronomy, geography and astrophysics and should definiatly research ) seems more already scientifically verified and backed than this talk. I plan on going even though hes pretty far for me because its so much cheaper than other private yoga centers until I switch to some closer yoga center later. Would be interesting to hear experiences and opinions.

Can't say about Saturn but according to Indian traditions a good placement of Jupiter results in the emergence of philosophical and spiritual attitude in the individual  and makes him or her highly inclined towards the spirituality.

Different planets have different energy and astrology says that their placement has an effect on how your life will turn out. Those things are not set in stone. 4 elements can be 4 useful concepts with some things. I can for example make myself cold or hot by invoking fire or water. I'd say listen to what he has to say. You don't have to take it all as fact but it doesn't hurt trying out the things he teaches.
