Astrology And God

Hindus believe that a belief in God and belief in Astrology go together. I think the two are contradictory. A belief in astrology implies a belief in destiny-  that things are fated to happen and this cannot be changed. 

A belief in God is grounded in a desire for good things to happen. Hence it fundamentally is against the belief of destiny. I wonder how people can believe in both simultaneously. It is possible for a person to believe in neither. A person can neither believe in fate nor in God.
