Effort and Fate : Parasara
Parasara, the father of Veda Vyasa वेद व्यास, and the grandson of Vasishtha, is the author of Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, a definitive treatise on Hindu Predictive Astrology, quoted and followed by almost all Hindu Astrologers.
He is also the author of Parasara Smriti.
Where he says : “Only by effort are tasks accomplished and not by desires (chariots of the mind). As a deer doesn’t enter the mouth of a sleeping lion .”

kAryANi na manorathaih
na hi suptasya simhasya

This should firmly put an end to the argument of whether one is supposed to make an effort or leave everything to fate.
These are the words of one of the highest authorities on astrology that this country has ever produced!
