Respected Brother/Sister,
Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
In response to your question, the undersigned wants to say that the Gurbani totally rejects astrology.
In the 21st Pauri of Jap Baani, at Panna 4 of Guru Granth Sahib, the First Guru Person, Guru Nanak Sahib guides:
ਥਿਤਿ ਵਾਰੁ ਨਾ ਜੋਗੀ ਜਾਣੈ ਰੁਤਿ ਮਾਹੁ ਨਾ ਕੋਈ ॥ ਜਾ ਕਰਤਾ ਸਿਰਠੀ ਕਉ ਸਾਜੇ ਆਪੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਸੋਈ ॥
ਅਰਥਾਤ (ਜਦੋਂ ਜਗਤ ਬਣਿਆ ਸੀ ਤਦੋਂ) ਕਿਹੜੀ ਥਿੱਤ ਸੀ, (ਕਿਹੜਾ) ਵਾਰ ਸੀ, ਇਹ ਗੱਲ ਕੋਈ ਜੋਗੀ ਭੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਣਦਾ। ਕੋਈ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨਹੀਂ (ਦੱਸ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਕਦਾ) ਕਿ ਤਦੋਂ ਕਿਹੜੀ ਰੁੱਤ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਮਹੀਨਾ ਸੀ। ਜੋ ਸਿਰਜਣਹਾਰ ਇਸ ਜਗਤ ਨੂੰ ਪੈਦਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹੈ (ਕਿ ਜਗਤ ਕਦੋਂ ਰਚਿਆ) ।
Therefore, everything has happened and will happen in Akalpurakh’s Hukam (Divine Law) and no one can predict anything. Therefore, astrology has got no meaning in Sikhi.
The Sikh is expected to follow the basic principle of becoming righteous/virtuous (Gurmukh) and live life in His Hukam (Divine Law), which is laid down in the first Pauri of Jap Baani, in which the first Guru Person, Guru Nanak Sahib has said:
ਕਿਵ ਸਚਿਆਰਾ ਹੋਈਐ ਕਿਵ ਕੂੜੈ ਤੁਟੈ ਪਾਲਿ ॥ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥
The Sikh is expected to get rid of vices, become Gurmukh and become one with Akalpurakh and Shabad Guru, who are spiritually embodiment of each other and achieve the stage of spiritual equipoise and spiritual bliss.
The final goal is to achieve spiritual emancipation/salvation in this life itself.
Hope it helps. If you have any further questions, please do ask. If you find any deficiencies, please point out the same, for improvement in future.
Regards,
Your brother
Sikhism believes every moment is auspicious and should be spent living in a relationship with the creator and serving the creation of the creator.
