Ayurvedic Astrology

I love seeing people doing their Dharma.
I’ve pretty often given specific unusual predictions (e.g. you will be forming a healing clinic in your mother’s home), only to find that the person is doing exactly that.
I love to see that!  It’s not really for ego’s sake. (Although I try not to have ego in predictions, there’s [...]

Now we need to do an allover scan for the next level of information on the native.
I recommend at this point that you:
A. Make a printout.
