Destiny is where you'll end up. Fate just happens right at the moment it happens.

The two terms are synonyms which means they are roughly the same.
They do have slightly different connotations through for example I would usually use the word "destiny" when you were propelled into a 'good' situation where as I'd probably use 'fate' for something that was bad.
One definition of fate is actually an 'Unfavorable destiny; doom.'

Destiny refers to a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the universe
Fate: The supposed force, principle, or power that predetermines events.

FATE AND DESTINY
Your own fate may be said to be determined by the time, date and place of your birth. We may say that in some ways it outlines the things to come.
When you were born into this incarnation you were given certain traits and it is up to you to decide what to do with these traits. It is believed you can change the outcome of your fate. But remember this will be done within the context of what you were born with.
Remember you have free choice and you should never allow fate to control your life if it makes you feel unhappy. In the end the final choice is yours.
Destiny is in many ways the final calling to resolve past life issues and put these matters to rest. Destiny is about the future.
Your destiny is affected by the time, place and date of birth but you still have free will. Destiny and fate may not always be so easy to explain or understand. The outcome and difference between your destiny and fate will be determined by you and only you

They pretty much carry the same meaning. The main difference is that some people believe you can create your own "destiny". On the other hand, "fate" is commonly used to express when something is out of your control and that where you go in life was going to happen, regardless of what you do in life.
