What is the Hebrew name of destiny?
While there is some discussion (Talmud, Shabbat 156a) of mazalot (constellations or Zodiac signs), the chief emphasis is on Hashgacha Perati: God supervises what happens to us. This is based partially upon what we desire (Talmud, Makkot 10b), partially upon what we pray for (Psalms 37:4), partially upon the principle of proportionate reward and punishment for our use of our free-will (Talmud, Sotah 8b), and partially upon other factors, such as our ancestors.
God gives us opportunities, allowing us to choose whether or not to take them. The principle of "God helps those who help themselves" is accepted in Judaism (Midrash Sifrei, Bamidbar 1; see also Talmud, Berakhot 40a). We do not accept fatalism or pessimism. Even what one's birth sign would predict can be bent in a different direction through doing God's will (Talmud, Shabbat 156b). Moreover, even prophecy itself can be redirected through repentance (see Rashi commentary, Yoma 73b).
