Jyotish Astrology Readings
Jyotish is the astrology of India and a Vedanga or limb of the Veda-s, making it a sister science of Yoga and Ayurveda. Jyotish literally means “light” and is meant to illuminate the life path of the individual providing insight into one’s karma, strengths, weaknesses, personality, and dharma. Jyotish is part astronomy, mathematics, cosmology, omens, the setting of auspicious times for coming events, as well as horoscope interpretation.
Your Natal Chart
At the time you were born the planets were in a particular configuration that offer a map of your life and karma. Understanding your natal chart helps you to understand yourself and give you a glimpse into your destiny, including valuable insights into personality, career, relationships, psychology, health, finances, children, family, and spiritual inclination.
Jyotish Vedic Astrology empowers you to interpret the obstacles and good fortune that comes your way with the tools that you are inherently equipped with. The natal chart reveals your dasha cycles or planetary periods that rule your chart at particular times, as well as ongoing transits and periods of good and back luck that affect your life in a unique or significant way.
To help you navigate and gain greater insight about yourself and your life, I will at times synthesize Vedic Astrology with mystical traditions and tools of Human Design, Relocation Astrology and Western or Tropical Astrology.

Locational Astrology Reading
Locational Astrology Reading is based on your Jyotish Natal Chart and a map of the earth with planetary lines at the time of your birth. The Locational Reading determines how these lines affect your stay in any given location. Simply changing locations can affect how you perceive and experience life. Some places are more supportive, while others more challenging. This technique offers the best place to live or visit for happiness, health, prosperity, spiritual growth, security, creativity, marriage, and family–depending on what you want to experience.

Your Personal Mantra and Ishta Devata
Your Ishta Devata (literally “cherished or desired divinity”) is the one beloved personal deity who will protect you in life and guide your soul to peace and liberation. It is said in Jyotish that the Ishta Devata is the form of the Divine with whom you will feel the most affinity and whose gifts will best assist you in life. This reading reveals and teaches you about your Personal Ishta Devata based on your Jyotish Natal Chart, as well as how to chant (silently and aloud) the associated ancient mantra that symbolizes and activates your unique Ishta Devata. Through love and devotion to your personal God you deepen your spiritual practice and learn to communicate directly with your higher Source. This Jyotish reading is 60-min.

Jupiter and Saturn Transit
Planets are always in transit or moving. These transits have an influence on your Natal Chart and on your life during the entire time that it’s transiting. The slower outer planets Jupiter and Saturn spend longer in each sign or house. Jupiter, the guru and most benefic planet in Vedic astrology, stays in a sign for about a year. While Saturn, the most feared planet in astrology, known for hard work, challenges, delays, obstacles, discipline, and denial, spends around two and a half years in each sign. In the Jupiter and Saturn Transit Reading we identify both the potential in terms of ambitions and limitations in your chart at any given time. This Jyotish astrology reading is 45-minutes long.

Relationship Karma
Based on the birthdays of two people we can foresee the gifts and challenges that are likely to emerge in relationship, whether the union is romantic, work, family, or friendship. The Jyotish Relationship Karma Reading is to better understand this relational karma, for better or worse. While this is not a traditional synastry or compatibility reading, it will help you understand how much attraction, intensity, and compatibility there is between two people. It will also help shed light on the purpose of the relationship in terms of spiritual gifts and challenges. This Jyotish astrology reading is 60-minutes long.

My Jyotish Journey
I have been a casual student of Indian astrology since 1995, but it wasn’t until 2015 that I began to study formally.
I traveled to Sivananda Yoga Farm in Grass Valley, CA, for three years to study Jyotish astrology. Here I met Jyotishi William Surface who encouraged me to analyze natal charts and invited me to study with him.
On the 2020 Winter solstice and great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, I received a spiritual name (Mukambika) from Swami Jnaneswariananda, a spiritual leader at Sivananda. “Mukambika” is the Tridevi: Lakshmi, Sarawati and Parvati. Her shakti is to bestow speech to others.
I am currently working on my Jyotish astrology certification through the Council of Vedic Astrology with in-depth studies from renowned American astrologer Dennis Flaherty, as well as James Kelleher.
