Follow a chain below and tap any circle — what the consultation is, what it covers and plainly what it cannot do opens underneath, without leaving the page. Tap the same circle again for the full page: what to bring, what you get, and the questions people actually ask. If none of them quite fits, ask; the answer is sometimes that you do not need a consultation at all.
Reading a chart
Astrology 16
Sixteen ways into the same body of work. If you are not sure which you need, start with a full kundli reading — most of the others are narrower versions of it.
Best for a first proper reading, or a second opinion on one you were given
We go through your chart together: the houses, where the planets sit, which period is running, and what the transits are doing to it. You come away understanding the reasoning, not just a conclusion.
The whole floor plan, not one room
What is running now
The questions you came with
Remedies only where they apply
What it cannot do
A reading describes your chart accurately and tells you what is running. It does not guarantee any outcome, and I will not pretend otherwise. The chart is a floor plan; you still live in the house, make the decisions and do the work each room asks for. Anyone offering certainty is selling you the certainty, not the reading.
Best for families weighing a match, before anyone commits to it
Both charts are read together: the guna score and what it is actually measuring, the seventh house in each chart, Venus and Jupiter, any dosha and — importantly — whether it cancels, and the period each person is running.
The score, and what it leaves out
Doshas checked against their cancellations
The seventh house in both charts
Timing
What it cannot do
A matching can describe how two temperaments are likely to meet and can remove a label that was never earned. It cannot predict whether a marriage will be happy. Two well-matched charts belonging to two people who will not talk to each other is a worse position than two ordinary charts belonging to two people who will. Use the chart to understand what you are joining; do not use it to avoid the conversation.
Best for anyone told they have a dosha and quoted a price to fix it
The chart is checked for whether the dosha is genuinely present, whether the classical cancellations apply, and — the part that matters most — what is actually causing the difficulty that brought you. There is usually a real answer, and it is frequently not the dosha.
Is it actually there
Does it cancel
What is really going on
What a remedy would be for, if one applies
What it cannot do
I can tell you what a configuration is, how common it is, and what thirty years of records do and do not show about it. I cannot prove a negative, and I would be overstating my position if I claimed to. What I will say plainly is that nobody should be frightened into an expensive remedy by a label alone — and that if a practitioner leads with your dosha and a price, you have learned something useful about the practitioner.
Best for a decision already on the table — an offer, a move, a partnership
The tenth house and its lord, the sixth for daily work and competition, the second and eleventh for what comes back, and the period running over all of it. Read against the specific decision in front of you.
What the chart is built for
The timing question
Retrogrades and late arrivals
Partnerships
What it cannot do
This is guidance about timing and disposition from a chart. It is not business advice, it is not a forecast of results, and it is emphatically not market, stock or investment advice of any kind — I am not a registered financial adviser and I do not give that guidance on this site or in a consultation. A chart can tell you what a period emphasises. It cannot tell you whether a venture will succeed.
Best for “why is this year like this”, and “when does it end”
Your Vimshottari periods calculated from the Moon at birth, the sub-periods within them, the major transits — Saturn and Jupiter especially — and where sade sati sits if it is running or approaching.
What you are running, and when it turns
Sade sati, specifically
The planet as it is in your chart
Planning around it
What it cannot do
The dasha system tells you which part of your chart is being emphasised and roughly when. It does not tell you what will happen, and the distance between those two things is large. Anyone quoting a specific event on a specific date from a dasha is exceeding what the method supports. And no remedy shortens a transit — there is no puja that ends sade sati early.
Best for deciding whether to buy a stone — or whether to stop wearing one
Your chart is read for whether any planet is genuinely weak-and-helpful — which is the condition a stone is meant to address — and for what a remedy would actually be aimed at. Where nothing applies, I tell you that rather than finding you something to buy.
Diagnosis before prescription
What the remedy is for, stated plainly
How long, and how to judge it
When the answer is none
What it cannot do
A correctly chosen remedy supports something the chart already shows. It does not guarantee an outcome, it does not override circumstance, and it is not a substitute for a doctor, a lawyer or an accountant. If a stone is being sold to you on the strength of how worried you are, the worry was the product. I would rather tell you nothing applies than sell you something that does not.
Best for a wedding, a possession, a registration or a foundation
A short list of workable times for your activity, chosen against your own chart rather than in the abstract, with the reasoning for each so you can weigh them against the practical constraints only you know.
Chosen for the activity
Checked against your chart
Options, not a single date
What it is worth it for
What it cannot do
A well-chosen muhurat gives a venture a considered beginning. It does not guarantee the venture succeeds, and no time of day compensates for an unfinished plan, an unaffordable commitment or a partnership that was wrong to begin with. In my own notes, the value of a muhurat tracks how much preparation preceded it far more than how good the time itself was. Never let the date drive the preparation.
Best for anyone who has been given a year by somebody and has been measuring themselves against it
Your chart is read specifically for the timing of marriage: the seventh house and its lord, the significators, the mahadasha and antardasha running, and the transits crossing them. What comes out is a window of a few years with the reasoning attached — not a date, because a date would not be true.
The seventh house, properly
The period, which is where the timing lives
Whether a delay is real or manufactured
A straight answer about what is not settled
What it cannot do
A reading can describe when the conditions for marriage are best supported in your chart, and it can remove a label that was never earned. It cannot produce a spouse, guarantee a wedding, or make a marriage happy once it exists. A favourable window is a stretch in which things are easier, not a door that locks behind you — and people marry outside the obvious windows all the time. Anyone offering you a month and a year is selling certainty rather than a reading.
Best for planning a year properly, rather than reading twelve generic paragraphs for your sign
The varshphal or solar return chart is cast for the moment the Sun returns to its natal position, and read against the birth chart and the dasha running. It describes what this particular year emphasises, which months carry the weight, and where the year has some give in it.
The solar return chart itself
Read against the period, not instead of it
Where the months sit
What not to expect from it
What it cannot do
A year reading describes what a stretch of months emphasises. It does not list events, guarantee outcomes, or see decisions that other people have not made yet. It contains no market, stock or investment guidance of any kind — I am not a registered financial adviser and I do not give that advice at any price. Used well it helps you time things you were going to do anyway; it is not a substitute for doing them.
Best for a single urgent question, or anyone whose birth time was never recorded
You bring one clear question. A chart is cast for the moment it reaches me, and read for that question alone — what the situation actually is, which way it is moving, and what the chart declines to settle.
One question, framed properly
The chart of the moment
Particularly useful without a birth time
A clear no, where that is the answer
What it cannot do
Prashna answers one question at a time, and it answers it as a reading rather than as a certainty. It cannot locate a person, decide a legal case, diagnose an illness or forecast a market — and I do not offer it for any of those. A question about somebody else’s private intentions is also outside what I will do. It works best on a matter that is genuinely undecided and genuinely yours.
Best for families choosing a stream, a course or an examination to commit to
The chart is read for how this particular young person learns and works — the fourth, fifth and ninth houses, the condition of Mercury and Jupiter, and the period covering the next several years. It is offered as one input to a family decision, deliberately not as a verdict.
How this person actually works
The houses of learning
The years immediately ahead
Said to the student, not only about them
What it cannot do
A chart cannot name a course, predict an examination result, or tell you whether a seat will be offered. It cannot substitute for aptitude testing, for teachers who know the student, or for the student’s own sense of what they can bear. What it can honestly offer is a description of temperament and timing, treated as one input among several. Anyone who hands a sixteen-year-old a career verdict from a chart is doing something I would not defend.
Best for anyone about to commit serious money to an application or a move abroad
The chart is read for its relationship with distance and displacement: the fourth house you would be leaving, the ninth, the twelfth, the involvement of Rahu, and — most practically — which periods support movement and which obstruct it.
What you are leaving, not only where you are going
The houses of distance
Which years support the attempt
A straight answer when the period is against it
What it cannot do
No chart can obtain a visa, influence an application or make a country admit you. It cannot see a policy change announced next year, and it has no view on whether you will be happy once you arrive — which, from the people I have read for afterwards, is the harder question. Eligibility, cost, language and the job market where you are going all outrank the chart, and anyone guaranteeing an immigration outcome is exploiting people at their most hopeful.
Best for anyone quoted a large sum, or frightened by something an app or a practitioner said
I take what you were told, check it against a correctly cast chart, and tell you whether it stands. That is the whole of it. It is deliberately narrow, it is meant to end, and a clean bill is one of its ordinary outcomes.
Is the finding actually there
Were the cancellations applied
Is the remedy aimed at anything
What is actually going on, if anything
What it cannot do
I can tell you what is in your chart, whether a named configuration is present, and whether the classical conditions that cancel it apply. I cannot prove a negative, and I will not pretend to. Nor will I tell you that another practitioner acted in bad faith — I do not know that, and it is not my finding to make. What I will say plainly is what the chart shows, and that nobody should be frightened into an expensive remedy by a label alone.
Best for anyone who has been told sade sati is running and given a number to fix it
Your Moon is located, the three phases of Saturn’s transit over it are dated, and we work out which one is running and what remains. Then we separate what Saturn is genuinely emphasising from what is being blamed on it.
Whether it is running at all
Which of the three phases
What is Saturn and what is not
What is worth doing
What it cannot do
This tells you where you are in a transit and what it tends to press on. It does not shorten sade sati, and nobody can. Any practitioner offering to remove it is selling you the offer. Saturn periods end on their own schedule; what is genuinely within reach is understanding what is happening and not making avoidable decisions in the middle of it.
Best for anyone whose birth time was never recorded, or recorded roughly
We take the window you believe the birth falls in, test candidate times against events in your life that are already dated, and narrow it until one holds up better than the rest — or until I tell you honestly that it cannot be narrowed further.
Establishing the window honestly
Testing against dated events
Checking the candidate across divisions
Saying what is still uncertain
What it cannot do
Rectification is inference from evidence, not recovery of a record. It produces a working time that explains your history better than the alternatives — it does not produce proof, and an honest practitioner will not present it as such. Where the events you can date are few or vague, the result is a wider window, and I would rather hand you that than a confident minute I invented.
Best for understanding a difficult stretch — never for diagnosis or treatment
We read the ascendant and its lord, the sixth house and its afflictions, and the period you are running, to identify the stretches where health has historically needed more attention in your chart — and I say plainly, more than once, that anything symptomatic belongs with a doctor.
Constitution in the chart
Periods that ask for more care
Habits worth changing
When I stop and send you to a doctor
What it cannot do
This is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a treatment plan. It cannot detect, confirm or rule out any condition, and it must never be used to delay or replace seeing a qualified doctor. If you have symptoms, see a physician first and treat this consultation as something you might do afterwards, or not at all. I do not sell any medicine, supplement or therapy, and I will not tell you to stop a treatment a doctor has prescribed.
Your own plan on the sixteen-direction grid — house, flat, workplace, factory, or a plot you have not bought yet — with corrections that in the ordinary case need no demolition.
Best for a home never properly assessed, or one you have just moved into
An on-site visit or a remote assessment from your plan, going through the property room by room, followed by a written set of corrections in priority order, each marked by what it costs.
The sixteen-direction grid, aligned to true north
Room by room, with you
Corrections in priority order
No demolition in the ordinary case
What it cannot do
A Vastu assessment describes what a space is doing and what can be changed about it. It does not guarantee an outcome in your life, your health or your business, and I will not claim it does. Some situations fall outside what this work can address, and when that is the case I say so rather than finding something to correct.
Best for offices, plants, showrooms and clinics, including multi-site groups
A five-stage engagement: brief, site study, report, implementation support and review. The report is written in practical language — entrances, circulation, seating, storage and light — so it can be handed to a facilities manager or an architect and acted on directly.
Practical language, not interpretation
Phased around operations
Before you buy
Confidential by default
What it cannot do
A commercial assessment describes the space and what can be changed about it, phased so it does not disrupt the business. It does not guarantee a commercial outcome, and no reputable practitioner would tell you otherwise. Where a problem is operational rather than spatial, I will say so — it is a more useful answer than a correction that was never going to help.
Best for anyone about to buy land or a property, while there is still a choice
The plot or property is assessed before you commit: shape, slope, the roads meeting it, what surrounds it, the orientation, and what can and cannot be done with it. Where a site has a fault that cannot be corrected without demolition, you learn that while you can still choose another.
Shape, slope and level
Roads, approach and what adjoins it
What the sixteen-zone grid says about it
A comparison, where there is a shortlist
What it cannot do
This is a Vastu assessment and nothing else. It is not a valuation, a legal check or a survey — verify title, approvals, encumbrances and measurements with the appropriate professionals, and do not treat my report as covering any of that. It carries no investment or market view: I do not advise on whether a property is a good purchase financially, and I am not qualified to. And no site is perfect; the useful output is a clear account of what you would be taking on.
Best for manufacturing units, warehouses and industrial sheds, at planning or after
The unit is assessed on the sixteen-direction grid as a working process: the placement of furnaces and heat, heavy machinery and load, raw material and finished storage, administration, and how people and material move through the building.
Heat, load and the heavy end
Storage, in and out
Movement and administration
What can be corrected without demolition
What it cannot do
Vastu is not engineering, and this consultation does not replace structural, electrical, fire or safety assessment by qualified engineers — where those overlap with what I recommend, they take precedence without argument. It carries no view on the commercial performance of the business, no investment or market guidance, and no guarantee of any outcome. What it offers is a considered reading of the layout and a set of corrections in priority order, most of which cost very little.
Best for flats, builder floors and society apartments, owned or rented
Your flat is put on the sixteen-direction grid as it actually is, and the corrections are found in what you can genuinely change: which room is used for what, where beds and desks and the kitchen platform sit, storage, mirrors, colour and light.
The grid over your actual plan
Room use before room structure
Placement inside each room
What the society will and will not allow
What it cannot do
Vastu concerns the space, and a space is one influence among many on a life. Correcting a flat does not guarantee any outcome, and I will not suggest it does. In a rented flat some corrections will simply be unavailable, and I will tell you which rather than have you breach an agreement. Where a flat has a serious structural fault that placement cannot address, you will be told that too — including, occasionally, that the honest advice is not to take the flat.
For when distance, or a date that cannot be moved, is the only thing standing in the way — performed properly, with a plain list of what to arrange at your end.
Best for families abroad, or anyone who cannot travel to be there
The puja is performed at Haridwar on your behalf, on a date fixed with you. You send the names and details needed, and you are told plainly beforehand what will be done and what it is for.
A date fixed with you
Told plainly what is being done
Performed at Haridwar
Nothing promised about the result
What it cannot do
I will say here what I say about everything else on this site: a puja is not a guarantee of an outcome. It is performed properly, at the right time, with the right intent. What follows after that is not something I control, and I will not promise it.
Best for families moving into a new home, new office or newly completed floor
The date is selected from the panchang against your own chart rather than from a generic auspicious-dates list. The sequence is explained in advance, the requirements are given plainly, and the ceremony is conducted or arranged — in Delhi in person, elsewhere by arrangement.
A date chosen for your family, not from a list
What the sequence actually is
A plain list of requirements
The house itself, if you want it looked at
What it cannot do
A ceremony marks an occasion and carries meaning for the family taking part in it. It does not guarantee prosperity, health or harmony in the house, and I will not suggest otherwise. Nor does it substitute for a proper Vastu reading of the building, which is separate work answering a different question. If a date genuinely cannot be moved to a well-chosen one, the ceremony is still worth doing — an imperfect muhurat is not a catastrophe, whatever you may have been told.
Best for families naming a newborn, in person or with the ceremony performed remotely
The child’s chart is cast, the nakshatra and its pada identified, and the corresponding syllable given to you. A date and window are chosen, and the ceremony is performed — at your home, or online with you following on a call.
The nakshatra established from the chart
The syllable, and what it is worth
The date and the window
The ceremony itself
What it cannot do
A name chosen on the traditional syllable is a custom observed with care; it is not a guarantee of anything about the child’s life, and I will not present it as one. Nothing here should be used to pressure a family into a name they do not want. If you have already chosen a name outside the syllable, that is entirely legitimate and the ceremony can be performed on it without apology.
Offered with the caveat printed on the front of it: a separate discipline from astrology, useful for choices that are still reversible, and never a reason to respell a name you have already built something on.
Best for choosing between names or numbers you are already considering
Your birth number and name number are worked out and read as a description of temperament, alongside your chart rather than in place of it. Where a reversible choice is genuinely on the table — a business name, a registration, a number you are picking between — I will give you a view on it.
What the two numbers are, and where they come from
Read alongside the chart, not instead of it
Choosing between options you already have
What I will not do
What it cannot do
Numerology does not change your circumstances, and nothing in this consultation is financial, legal or medical advice. If what is actually wrong has a concrete cause, a digit is not where the answer lives. I will not recommend a personal name change at any price — a name is your records, your degree, your bank and the word every person who thinks well of you has in their head, and altering it imposes a certain cost for a benefit nobody will specify in advance or measure afterwards.
Best for a name not yet registered, printed or trademarked
You bring a shortlist you are already willing to trade under. Each name and spelling is worked out numerologically, read against the founder’s chart where you want that included, and ranked — with the ranking presented as one input among many rather than a verdict.
A shortlist, not a search
Spelling variants
Read against the founder’s chart
Dates and numbers you are choosing anyway
What it cannot do
Numerology is a separate discipline from astrology and a much smaller instrument. It cannot make a business succeed and no name will compensate for a weak product, thin capital or a market that does not want the thing. I use it only for choices that are still reversible and cheap to change. I will not tell you to respell an existing brand you have equity in, I do not give market, stock or investment advice of any kind, and none of this substitutes for trademark or company-name legal clearance.
The chains above are the pleasant way through. This is the plain one — every consultation on the site, grouped as it is offered, one link each. A dot marks the ones asked for most often, which is a fact about demand and not a recommendation.
Birth details for an astrology consultation; a floor plan or a video walk-through for Vastu. Nothing else is needed to begin.
I study it before we speak
I do not open your chart or your plan for the first time while you are on the call. The work happens before the conversation, which is why the conversation is useful.
We go through what I found
What I am seeing, and why I think it matters. You will understand the reasoning, not just the conclusion. If I cannot explain why, I should not be recommending it.
We agree what changes
In priority order, and realistically. There is no point in my recommending something you will not do. Most of it costs very little.
You get it in writing
A written summary you can act on over the following weeks, without having to remember what was said.
Before you enquire
There are free self-assessments in the books section drawn from the faults I find most often. Each takes about ten minutes with your own home or chart. If working through one settles the question, that is a good outcome and you owe me nothing.
A note on what I don’t do
I do not use fear to sell consultations. I do not guarantee outcomes. I do not encourage dependency — a consultation should end. And I do not give market, stock or investment advice of any kind; I am not a registered financial adviser.
