Jyotish is the Sanskrit word for Vedic Astrology. It means ‘Science of Light’ and is a system of astrology that has been in use 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 vs relationship, education, spirituality etc) and revealing your dharma, or life’s purpose. It’s also excellent for
choosing auspicious times (for example for a wedding, vacation, starting a business, buying a home, launching your marketing etc).
Jyotish is part of daily life in traditional Hindu culture. Whereas in the West astrology is mostly 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 science colleges alongside physics + maths.

Both systems use the Sun, Moon and planets and divide the zodiac into 12 signs. However there are 5 key 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 or Upayas, are strongly
recommended and are available as an add-on for every reading. 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 will also receive instructions on how to perform a traditional Hindu mantra, ritual or actions curated specifically to your horoscope to support you in clearing past karma. Many of these mantras and rituals have been being practiced for over thousands of
years. Because they help.

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
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.

Dasas refer to periods of power and influence when specific planets dominate your chart, and are always changing. They are key to providing accurate predictions and advising on which areas of life to channel your precious time and energy towards so that you can experience the
most ease and flow.

Sidereal Zodiac.
Vedic Astrology uses different zodiacal calculations based on ayanamsha. What does that mean for you? Well, if you are a Leo Rising in Western Astrology, in Jyotish there’s about an 80% chance you will 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, true map of the sky we see today. And in case you’re interested, I use True Chitrapaksha ayanamsha.

Rahu and Ketu.
Jyotish gives a lot of 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.

Absolutely! You do not need to have any special belief system or be Hindu to benefit
from a Vedic Astrology reading. The principles revealed through the planets are
Universal.

I read for clients and seekers from many parts of the world including USA, India, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, China, South Korea, Germany, Finland and Nepal. Readings are in English.

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 that after their 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 as an astrologer interpreter + guide. I am here to provide helpful information and if you request it can help you in healing + fulfilling your unique soul’s purpose potential that is 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 along with sharing your karmic gifts and challenges so that you can move through your human experience smoothly, with more ease, clarity, confidence and grounded peace.

Astrology should never be scary. Sometimes the idea that aspects of our lives are ‘fated’ is frightening or distasteful to a Western mentality. The fact is, of course, we have free will (called kriyamaana karma) to choose our actions. Unfortunately, very traditional Vedic Astrologers don’t always emphasize this.

So, while certain events in our lives are fated (for example, the family we’re born into + our physical features) the choices we make and how we live our lives have an enormous impact on how our karmas manifest.

To soften challenging karmas and enhance positive ones, you can order Curated Celestial Cures. Your Curated Celestial Cures act as an astral attunement. Learn more about Celestial Cures by tapping this link.

Then you’re in the right place. You probably 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.

I communicate the wisdom and guidance revealed in your horoscope in a way that is easily accessible, understandable and relevant to you and your specific questions.

Before we meet you’ll complete a questionnaire providing your birth data (date, time + place of birth) and your specific questions.

Readings with me are usually on Zoom. I research your chart in advance for several hours + meditate on it before we meet with your questions in mind. During your session I’ll share your chart + provide astrological perspectives on the questions + concerns you are consulting me for.
When we meet I don’t talk ‘at’ you. Readings with me are a 2-way conversation, you are free to share as much or as little as you are comfortable with.

I am not a psychic or channeller; I act as a translator, guide + coach so you can get the most benefit from the multidimensional lens of your horoscope. If you want to ‘test’ an astrologer please choose someone else. I spend several hours preparing each reading and don’t want to waste my time or yours.

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. If you are in your car please pull over / stop driving for the duration of your reading. Try to take some time beforehand or the morning of your reading 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.
