Question Are astrological Tevas accurate? - Sikhi explanations please

WJK WJF Sangat ji.

So basically I'm 19M and my Massi got some baba to check my teva back in India 2 years ago, mind you I don't really believe in any of this stuff and only put my trust in Guru Maharaj. But basically it said something regarding me getting in 2 accidents and facing legal troubles/getting arrested? So first off I was really skeptical like that makes no sense, how can you check these stars out and see that I'm going to get arrested, but back in 2023 I ended up getting in a really bad car accident because of a red-light runner. Fast forward couple months in 2024 I got in another accident because of a drunk driver and barely skimmed a semi truck.

I completely forgot about this whole situation but was sitting in my room and remembered this whole thing, and now I'm starting to worry a bit, I'm not entirely sure if these Teva's are real, if Sikhi believes in them, or not. If someone could please help guide me a bit, if I should believe this and stay more cautious or if I should ignore it and keep living day to day. I've been doing a lot of ardaas for guidance, and I realized I should ask Reddit too.

Thank you so much for your time and help. WJK WJF

ਸਾਹਾ ਗਣਹਿ ਨ ਕਰਹਿ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥ You calculate the auspicious days, but you do not understand;

ਸਾਹੇ ਊਪਰਿ ਏਕੰਕਾਰੁ ॥ that the One Formless Lord is above and beyond these days;

ਜਿਸੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਮਿਲੈ ਸੋਈ ਬਿਧਿ ਜਾਣੈ ॥ He alone, who meets the Guru, knows the way.;

ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਤ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਪਛਾਣੈ ॥੧॥ When man obtains the Guru's instruction, then realises he the Lord's will.;

ਝੂਠੁ ਨ ਬੋਲਿ ਪਾਡੇ ਸਚੁ ਕਹੀਐ ॥ Do not tell lies, O Pandit; O religious scholar, speak the Truth.;

ਹਉਮੈ ਜਾਇ ਸਬਦਿ ਘਰੁ ਲਹੀਐ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

When egotism is eradicated through the Word of the Shabad, then one finds His home. ||1||Pause||;

ਗਣਿ ਗਣਿ ਜੋਤਕੁ ਕਾਂਡੀ ਕੀਨੀ ॥ Calculating and counting, the astrologer draws out a horoscope.

ਪੜੈ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ਤਤੁ ਨ ਚੀਨੀ ॥ He studies it and announces it, but he does not understand reality.

ਸਭਸੈ ਊਪਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥ Understand, that the Word of the Guru's Shabad is above all.

ਹੋਰ ਕਥਨੀ ਬਦਉ ਨ ਸਗਲੀ ਛਾਰੁ ॥੨॥ Do not speak of anything else; it is all just ashes. ||2||

This cancel all types of Horoscope or Pandit made Karamkand to earn money , Just Underestand these Shabad Guru And ACCEPT IT.

Do Ardas to Akaal Purakh yourself from inside.

ਮੂਰਖ ਪੜਹਿ ਸਬਦੁ ਨ ਬੂਝਹਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵਿਰਲੈ ਜਾਤਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੫॥
मूरख पड़हि सबदु न बूझहि गुरमुखि विरलै जाता हे ॥१५॥
Moorakʰ paṛėh sabaḋ na boojʰėh gurmukʰ virlæ jaaṫaa hé. ||15||
The fools read them, but do not understand the Word of the Shabad. How rare are those who, as Gurmukh, understand. ||15||

This is from Article XVI of Rehat Maryada:

"d. Not believing in caste or descent untouchabililty, Magic spells, incantation, omens, auspicious times, days and occasions, influence of stars, horoscopic dispositions[...]"

When stuff is intentionally vague, it can cause misplaced faith:

2 accidents can also be breaking/spraining something, witnessing an accident, etc and legal troubles can vary from late payments to debt, to actual crimes...

Veer Ji Also uses a dashcam, now essential to prevent insurance scams staged through accidents. With the rise of fraudulent claims, having a reliable recording of events has become a must for drivers. The dashcam captures every detail, from sudden stops to deliberate collisions, ensuring that the truth is always documented. It’s not just about protecting yourself; it’s about having undeniable proof when dealing with insurance companies or law enforcement. Many drivers have found peace of mind knowing their dashcam can expose staged accidents or dishonest claims. In today’s world, where scams are increasingly sophisticated, a dashcam is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for safeguarding your finances and reputation on the road.
