Yes. All Jyostro consultations are available online via video call or phone. Online sessions are available for clients across India and internationally - UAE, USA, Canada, UK, and Australia. In-person consultations are available at our Delhi office (West Punjabi Bagh) by appointment.
Session length varies by service: Personal astrology consultations are typically 30-40 minutes. Career and business astrology is 45 minutes. Kundli matching consultations are 45-60 minutes. Astro-Vastu sessions are 60-90 minutes. Numerology consultations are approximately 30-45 minutes. All sessions are one-on-one with Acharya Lokesh Dhamija.
Once your booking is confirmed, our team will reach out via WhatsApp or email with your session details - the date, time, video call link or phone number, and any preparation notes. You will be asked to share your birth details (date, time, and place of birth) in advance so Acharya Dhamija can study your chart before the session begins. On the day, simply join at the scheduled time - the session begins with Acharya Lokesh Dhamija responding to your queries.
Yes - you are encouraged to bring all the questions on your mind. A typical session covers 3-5 areas of life in depth, depending on the session length and how much chart background is needed. To make the most of your time, we recommend writing down your key questions in order of priority before the session. If you have a very long list, Acharya Dhamija will guide the conversation to ensure the most important areas are addressed fully.
Each consultation is a complete, self-contained session. However, many clients return for follow-up consultations as their Dasha periods shift, or when facing a new major decision - a job change, property purchase, business launch, or marriage. There is no obligation to book again, and no pressure to do so. Many clients find an annual review session useful to reassess their chart in light of how the year has unfolded.
Sessions are not routinely recorded, as many clients share deeply personal information and prefer confidentiality.
Yes, you do receive a written summary of the key insights, remedies, and guidance discussed during the session. This enables you to follow remedies and follow up with the team.
Vedic astrology remedies and guidance are tied to your current Dasha (planetary period) and the active transits at the time of the consultation. Remedies are typically relevant for the duration of the current Dasha sub-period - which can range from a few months to a few years. Guidance on life decisions and career direction may remain relevant much longer. As planetary periods shift, a follow-up consultation helps recalibrate remedies and reassess conditions. Think of each consultation as a seasonal review - most accurate and actionable at the time it is given.
Consultation fees vary by service type and session duration. Please visit jyostro.com/book-consultations for current pricing, or WhatsApp us at +91-9355250111 for a direct quote. We offer consultations across a range of price points to serve both individual and professional clients.
Absolutely. All consultations at Jyostro are strictly confidential. Your birth details, personal circumstances, and everything discussed in the session are never shared with third parties. Jyostro operates under a clear privacy policy - you can read it at jyostro.com/privacy-policy.
Please visit jyostro.com/refund-and-cancellation for the full cancellation and refund policy. Generally, sessions cancelled with sufficient notice can be rescheduled. We recommend contacting us at least 24 hours before your scheduled session if you need to cancel or reschedule.
Yes - Jyostro consultations make a thoughtful and meaningful gift for weddings, birthdays, and special occasions. Contact us on WhatsApp at +91-9355250111 to arrange a gifted consultation. We can send the booking confirmation directly to the recipient.
Before your session: (1) gather your exact birth details - date, time, and place of birth for all individuals involved. (2) Write down your key questions or the areas of life you most want clarity on. (3) Be in a quiet space where you can speak freely. (4) Keep an open mind - the most useful consultations happen when the client is willing to receive the reading honestly, not just confirmation of what they hope to hear.
Yes. Many clients return for annual review sessions as their Dasha periods shift, or for specific consultations around major life decisions - a new job, a property purchase, a marriage, or a business launch. Returning clients can contact us directly via WhatsApp to schedule follow-up sessions.
Kundli Matching and Relationship Astrology
6 questions
Kundli matching, or Kundli Milan, is the Vedic process of comparing two people's birth charts before marriage to assess compatibility, potential challenges, and long-term harmony. The traditional Ashtakoot system scores compatibility across eight areas - Varna, Vasya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi - with a maximum of 36 points. At Jyostro, we go beyond the point score to assess Navamsa compatibility, Dasha synchrony, and Mangal Dosha - giving a more complete picture than a number alone.
Traditionally, a score of 18 or above out of 36 is considered acceptable, and 24 or above is considered good. However, the Ashtakoot score is not the only determinant - two charts with a score of 22 may be highly compatible in practice if the Navamsa charts align well and both individuals are in supportive Dasha periods. Acharya Dhamija always interprets the score in the full context of both charts, not as a standalone number.
Mangal Dosha occurs when Mars is placed in specific houses (1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th) in the birth chart. It is associated with challenges in marriage - particularly conflict or early loss of a partner. However, Mangal Dosha is significantly overstated in popular culture. Many conditions cancel its effect (Neecha Bhanga, specific planetary placements, or matching the Dosha in both partners' charts). Acharya Dhamija assesses each chart individually rather than applying blanket conclusions.
Yes - but with reduced accuracy. Without an exact birth time, the Lagna (ascendant) cannot be calculated, which means house placements and the Lagna lord's influence cannot be assessed. The Moon sign and Nakshatra-based analysis can still be done. Wherever possible, we recommend obtaining the birth time from a birth certificate before the consultation.
No - a low score is an alert, not a verdict. A score below 18 indicates areas that will require conscious effort and mutual understanding. Many couples with lower scores have strong, lasting marriages because they were aware of the potential friction points and worked with them. Acharya Dhamija's role is to give you an honest, nuanced reading - not to approve or forbid a marriage.
Kundli Milan (Ashtakoot) is the traditional Vedic compatibility scoring system - structured and point-based. Synastry is a technique used in both Vedic and Western astrology that examines the planetary interactions between two charts - how one person's Mars aspects the other's Moon, for example - to understand the dynamics of the relationship in depth. Jyostro uses both approaches for a comprehensive compatibility analysis.
Numerology and Name Alignment
5 questions
Numerology is the study of the energetic patterns encoded in numbers - particularly the numbers derived from your name and birth date. In the Vedic tradition, each number (1 through 9, plus master numbers) carries a vibrational quality that influences personality, opportunity, and life direction. At Jyostro, numerology is used both as a standalone tool and in combination with Vedic astrology for a more complete picture.
Your name is not just a label - it carries a vibrational frequency derived from its letters. Name numerology calculates the numerical value of your full name and compares it with your birth date numbers. When the name and birth numbers are aligned, life tends to flow more easily. When they conflict, there can be friction in relationships, career, or finances. Name correction or adjustment - sometimes a minor spelling change - can bring greater alignment without altering identity.
Yes. Business name numerology is one of the most practical applications of the system. The name of your business carries its own vibrational frequency that influences public perception, financial flow, and long-term success. Acharya Dhamija analyses the business name in relation to the founder's birth numbers and the business's founding date to assess alignment - and recommends adjustments where needed.
The Life Path number is the most important number in your numerology chart. It is calculated from your full date of birth (day + month + year, reduced to a single digit or master number). The Life Path reveals your core purpose, natural strengths, and the themes most likely to define your journey through life. For example, a Life Path 1 person is built for leadership and originality; a Life Path 7 person is built for analysis, depth, and spiritual inquiry.
Yes - and many people do, particularly for professional names, business names, or social media handles. A full legal name change is not always necessary. Often a slight modification to spelling, or adopting a specific version of a name, achieves the desired numerological alignment. Acharya Dhamija will recommend the minimum effective change rather than a disruptive overhaul.
Vastu and Astro-Vastu Consultations
6 questions
Standard Vastu Shastra applies universal principles of direction, energy flow, and spatial alignment to a home or office - independently of the occupants. Astro-Vastu, as practised at Jyostro, goes a step further: it combines your birth chart with Vastu analysis to understand how your personal planetary placements interact with your space. The result is guidance tailored to you as an individual, not just to the building.
No. Online Vastu consultations and in-person vastu consultation are available for clients across India and internationally. You will need to share the floor plan of your home or office (a sketch or photograph works), the directions of each room, and photographs of the space if possible. For in-person consultations, Acharya Dhamija visits residential and commercial properties in Delhi NCR and travels as needed.
A residential Vastu consultation assesses: the overall plot and entrance direction, room-by-room placement and function alignment, the location of the kitchen, master bedroom, children's rooms, and study areas, remedies for existing Vastu defects that cannot be structurally altered, and Astro-Vastu alignment where Acharya Dhamija correlates your birth chart with the energy of your space to provide personalised remedies.
In most cases, yes. Most Vastu defects can be addressed through non-structural remedies - repositioning furniture, adjusting the colour scheme, placing specific materials or objects in strategic locations, or using mirrors and lighting to correct energy flow. Demolition is rarely necessary. Acharya Dhamija specialises in practical, implementable remedies that work within the existing structure.
Yes. Commercial Vastu covers offices, factories, shops, showrooms, and warehouses. It addresses the placement of the owner or CEO's cabin, cash counters and safes, team seating arrangements, the entrance and reception area, and direction-based energy alignment for business growth and staff productivity. Many Delhi NCR businesses have consulted Jyostro for commercial Vastu.
A residential Vastu consultation typically takes 60-90 minutes for an online session, and 2-3 hours for an in-person visit depending on the property size. An Astro-Vastu consultation (combining your birth chart) takes approximately 90 minutes. You will receive a written summary of remedies after the session.
Vedic Astrology Consultations
7 questions
Vedic astrology (Jyotish) is a 6,000-year-old system from India that uses a sidereal zodiac - based on actual star positions - while Western astrology uses a tropical zodiac based on seasons. This means your Vedic sign may differ from your Western sign. Vedic astrology also uses the Moon sign and Lagna (ascendant) as primary identity markers, and employs the Dasha (planetary period) system for timing predictions - a tool Western astrology does not have. This makes Vedic astrology particularly precise for timing life events.
Three pieces of information are required: (1) your date of birth, (2) your exact time of birth, and (3) your place of birth. The time of birth is the most critical input - even a 30-minute difference can shift your Lagna and change the chart's interpretation significantly. If you do not have your birth time, please mention this when booking - Acharya Dhamija can use birth time rectification techniques.
A personal astrology consultation with Jyostro covers: your Lagna (ascendant) and Moon sign analysis, the strength and placement of all nine planets in your chart, identification of key Yogas (favourable combinations) and Doshas (challenges), your current Dasha period and upcoming planetary transitions, and practical guidance on the life areas most relevant to your current situation - career, relationships, health, finances, or major decisions.
Vedic astrology identifies planetary periods, tendencies, and windows of opportunity or challenge - it does not predict a fixed future with absolute certainty. The chart reveals karmic patterns and timing. The choices you make within those patterns shape the actual outcome. A good astrologer gives you the weather forecast so you can dress accordingly - not a decision you must obey.
The Vimshottari Dasha is a 120-year planetary period system unique to Vedic astrology. Each of the nine planets rules a specific period of your life - for example, Saturn rules for 19 years, Jupiter for 16 years, Venus for 20 years. During each planet's Dasha, the themes and experiences associated with that planet become dominant in your life. Knowing your current Dasha explains why certain life areas are activated right now - and when conditions will shift.
The Lagna is the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. In Vedic astrology, the Lagna sets the entire framework of the birth chart - it determines which sign occupies which house, and therefore how every planet's placement is interpreted. The Lagna lord (the ruling planet of your ascendant sign) is one of the most important planets in your chart. A consultation without knowing the Lagna is significantly less accurate.
Yes - career astrology is one of the most practical applications of Vedic Jyotish. The 10th house (Karma Bhava) in your chart reveals the type of work most aligned with your nature. Saturn's placement shows career timing and the likely path to professional authority. Your current Dasha period indicates whether this is a time for stability, growth, risk-taking, or consolidation. Acharya Dhamija can also use Muhurta (electional astrology) to identify the most auspicious timing for a job change, business launch, or major career move.
