No. Astrology was thousands of years old by Kepler's time. However, Kepler lived at a time when astronomy (the science) was not strongly distinguished from astrology (the pseudo-religious hooey), and one of his handicaps was that he never was fully able to get around the notion that there was some fundamental unifying "plan" behind the arrangement of the planets (he developed a model involving the Platonic solids in an attempt to explain what that plan was). Despite this, he did manage to do some solid work, probably most notably Kepler's Third Law.
