How to Choose the Astrologer

A good astrologer should be able to explain how they work. Ask which system they use (Vedic, Western or KP), how many years they have been practising and whether they will prepare your chart from your exact date, time and place of birth. If someone gives you predictions without asking for those details, treat it as entertainment rather than guidance.

Watch out for fear-based selling. Genuine astrologers talk about tendencies, timing and choices; they do not insist that something terrible will happen unless you buy an expensive remedy today. Simple, affordable remedies such as mantras, charity or small lifestyle changes are a better sign than pressure to purchase.

Finally, notice how you feel after a first conversation. A reading should leave you clearer and calmer, with practical ideas you can act on. If you came away more anxious than before, it is fine to look for someone else.
