Sri Yukteswar on the power of planets on human life :

What he has done, he can undo.  None other than himself was the instigator of the causes of whater effects are now prevalent in his life.  He can overcome any limitation, becuase he created it by is own actions in the first place, and because he possesses spiritual resources that are not subject to planetary pressure.

— Paramahamsa Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi
