The Law of Cause and Effect (Newton) and the Theory of Relativity (Einstein) are part of the basic principles of Astrology.
The study of cyclic phenomena in nature and human society affords a unique understanding of some of the forces influencing events on Earth. Though not strictly prophetic, cycle studies provide valuable indicators that give us time to prepare for impending peaks and troughs of weather, health, economy, war, and other social and natural events.
For instance, the Analogous Solar Terrestrial Research Organization (ASTRO) in Omaha, NE, announced in 1982 that stock market highs correspond to sudden peaks of geomagnetism 86 to 92% of the time.
This theory is verifiable by comparing the Dow Jones Industrial Stock Average with geomagnetic indices published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
According to stock analyst Ian McAvity (Toronto), the stock market is usually lower from the day before the full moon to three days after. The Dow Jones Average rises from the fifth day before the new moon to the fifth day after.
In 1935, L.J. Jensen, a market analyst, scientist and astrologer, observed:
"In checking economic statistics of the business cycle with the periods when the major slow planets, Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter, are 90 or 180 degrees apart in the zodiac, they are found to coincide with economic depression..."
Only two presidents elected at 20-year intervals before 1840 did not die while in office:
Thomas Jefferson (elected in 1800) and James Monroe (re-elected in 1820).
Zachary Taylor was the only president who died in office but was not elected in a 20-year interval after another presidential death: Zachary Taylor was elected in 1848; he died of gastroenteritis in 1850.
The presidential death cycle has been analyzed by the Fisher Exact Probability test, and yields a statistical significance level of 0.00004, which is to say that there is only a very low possibility that the 20-year cycle is due to chance.
The statistical and theoretical difficulties of analyzing the 20-year cycle have been treated by the mathematician Michael Capobianco using a more conservative technique which still yields statistically significant results:
"We know (after the fact) that in the period from 1840 to 1980 there have been (so far) seven presidents who died in office. Accepting this condition of seven deaths in seven 20-year periods (1840-1860, 1860-1880, 1880-1900, 1900-1920, 1920-1940, 1940-1960, 1960-1980), one might ask how unusual it is that these seven deaths should occur in the way that they did, one per 20-year period."
If the distribution of these seven deaths in the 35 presidential terms (5 per 20-year period) was due to chance, then any pattern would be just as likely as any other one.
Assuming this, the probability of getting exactly one death in each 20-year period is under the understanding or condition that there are 7 deaths in the entire 160-year period is given by the following formula:
7 5x5x5x5x5x5x5
x 5=35x34x33x32x31x30x29 =0.012
(35/7) 7x6x5x4x3x2x1
"Therefore, there is slightly better than one chance in a hundred that the 7 deaths would have occurred in this way.
Albert Einstein – Physicist said : "Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things and I am greatly indebted to it."
For example, Benjamen Franklin, a 33rd degree Mason, specifically picked the date to sign the Declaration of Independence because of its astrological significance.

I do not believe it is something he would ever say.

The Einstein quote referring to Astrology is a well known hoax. You can see a slideshow here that better explains this hoax, complete with acknowledgments and references.

Again, what is the source for your quote(s)?
I do not for one minute believe that Einstein gave any merit to something as irrational as astrology.
