Vedic Astrology offerings are online via Zoom or WhatsApp, or phone. Let me know what is most convenient for you.  Rarely, I give in-person sessions as my schedule allows.  Certain readings are pre-recorded and will be emailed to you in .mp3 format.

Then you are in the right place.  You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t curious or seeking answers and at least a little intrigued about exploring deeper parts of yourself, and seeing your life in the context of being part of a greater whole or purpose, would you?

I make every effort to communicate the wisdom and guidance revealed in your chart in a way that is easily understood and relevant to you.

It depends on what sort of reading or session you are requesting.

An astrology reading can last anywhere from 20 minutes for a burning question reading up to 2 hours for an in-depth life reading with forecast.  Past Life Healing Hypnotherapy sessions can take 2 hours or longer.

Check the offerings page for the reading you have chosen.

Jyotish is the Sanskrit word for Vedic Astrology.  It means ‘Science of Light’ and is a system of astrology that has been used consistently for over 1,500 years.

Vedic Astrology is an incredibly accurate astrological tradition.  It is revered for its depth of insight and for its accuracy in identifying and timing life events, cycles of life (for example whether your time and energy are best applied toward career vs family or education, etc) and revealing your dharma, or life’s purpose.  It is also excellent for choosing auspicious times (for example for a wedding, vacation, launching a business etc).

Jyotish is part of daily life in traditional Hindu culture.  Whereas in the West astrology is often used for entertainment purposes, in South Asian Hindu countries astrology is taken quite seriously.  As strange as this may sound to a Westerner, the Indian government regulates certain aspects of Jyotish, which is taught in colleges.

Both systems use the Sun, Moon and planets and divide the zodiac into 12 signs. However there are core differences between Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) and Western Astrology.

Celestial Cures | Remedial Measures!
You are not a victim of your fate!  Vedic Astrology assumes that we have come into this life with karma from previous lifetimes.  (Karma is simply the law of cause and effect).  AND we have the ability to improve some of that karma by taking certain actions now that benefit us on the mental, emotional, subtle vibrational and spiritual levels.

Recommended remedial measures, which I call Celestial Cures, are included as part of all consultations 50 minutes and longer. Of course it’s up to you if you want to try them out or not.  I design modern-day remedial measures to soften or dissolve challenges revealed by your planets and time cycles. You can also receive instructions on how to perform a traditional Hindu ritual or actions to clear past karma, many of which have been being practiced for over 1,500 years.

Everything is nature and vibration. Clients report time again that Celestial Cures help them feel more in control of their circumstances, which also tend to shift and improve.

Nakshatras & Dasas.
Have you ever wondered why timing predictions are more accurate with Vedic Astrology than Western?   A lot of it has to do with Vedic Astrology’s incorporation of Nakshatras & Dasas.

Nakshatras are also known as lunar mansions and relate to the position of the moon in the sky on a particular day. The most famous is your Janma Nakshatra, or birth star.  Some Western Astrologers use lunar mansions, but the way in which they are used in Jyotish is unique.  Dasas refer to periods of power and influence when specific planets dominate your chart, and are always changing.

Sidereal Zodiac.
Vedic Astrology uses different zodiacal calculations based on the ayanamsha. What does that mean for you?  Well, if you are a Leo Rising in Western Astrology, in Jyotish you will probably be a Cancer Rising. Gulp!

Let me explain: The Sidereal Zodiac used by Vedic Astrologers is based on the position of stars, whereas Western Astrologers use the Tropical Zodiac which is based on the position of the equinox.  Because of the precession of the equinox, the Tropical Zodiac is about 24 degrees ahead of the Sidereal Zodiac, and does not accurately reflect the position of the constellations at this point in history.  In fact, the Tropical Zodiac was last astronomically accurate about 2,000 years ago.

Having used both zodiacs in my own work for 25 years I now almost always use the Sidereal Zodiac, which is an accurate map of the sky we see today.

Rahu and Ketu.
Jyotish gives additional emphasis to the nodes of the moon which we call Rahu and Ketu.  These are extremely powerful and karmic points in the chart.  Rahu refers to what you came here to learn and evolve towards, and Ketu relates to the karma you came in with from past lives.

Traditionally Jyotish doesn’t use the outer planets Uranus, Pluto and Neptune though I do sometimes incorporate them in consultations.

Have you ever noticed that some years it has simply been easier for you to move forward with your happiness and goals, while others there have been distractions and challenges, even tragedy?  A Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) reading helps prepare you for those cycles so that you can take advantage of ‘lucky’ periods and prepare yourself for road bumps ahead.

Vedic Astrology is a powerful wisdom tool for understanding and developing yourself into the best person you can be. The information revealed will help you live more skillfully and more in harmony with yourself and the cosmos.

For 1,500 years Jyotish has given profound insight into the cycles of life as they relate to the human experience including relationship, family, finances, creativity and more.  All areas of life can be analyzed and revealed using Jyotish.

Clients have told me the that after readings they feel more clarity & peace, more grounded, powerful and strong, a sense of freedom, that they know themselves more deeply and intimately, and that they have a better sense of their purpose, direction and life path.

Readings with me are completely non-judgmental. I’m here to provide information and if you request it can help guide you in fulfilling the potential revealed in your charts.  (You actually have over 30 charts in Jyotish!)

I am a choice revealer not a choice maker.  I cannot make your difficult decision for you.  However it is my privilege to provide you with as much information as is appropriate for you to understand your karmic gifts and challenges so that you can move forward along your path more smoothly, armed with more clarity, confidence and peace.

There is nothing specific you need to do to prepare for your reading.  However the information revealed can be healing and transformative.

To get the most out of our time together, I recommend you be in a quiet place during the session, and try to take some time beforehand to settle your mind. A few ideas are taking a walk in nature, meditating, listening to music that calms you or applying a soothing essential oil like Lavender.

Fee depends on what type of session you are ordering.  Prices are indicated next to the appropriate reading on the Offerings page here.
