Who knows but the system seem too close to be coincidence yet the way the letter are used contradict some basic principles of astrology. But the first 3 letters directly have their correspondence in the triplicity of Sign from astrology.
But a lot of stuff doesn't match otherwise.
Well, it's a different cut on reality. Maybe less precise and a bit more generalized than astrology, but also different. That makes it useful in different ways.
Either way, there might be some concepts that are the same in both. Still, I don't think you can draw parallels between the two before you've understood each of them by itself in depth. (obviously you already know astrology)
IMO, trying to see the underlying common concepts before you understood MBTI as a complete system in its own right... would be insanely inaccurate to do for almost any person.
