Notes fromthe desk.
Jyotish, Vastu and tarot, written plainly by the two readers — what a chart says, how a date is chosen, why a card answers yes or no. New notes as the desk finds time; no newsletter, no noise.
Yes or no — how a one-card tarot answer works
One question, one card, one word. Why a narrow reading is more useful than a wide one, and the four cards from the Rider-Waite deck that do most of the work at my table.

What to bring to a first sitting
The three details that make a chart exact, the one question that makes a sitting useful, and what happens in the first hour at either desk.

What a kundalī actually tells you — and what it doesn’t
A birth chart is not a verdict. It is a map of weight — where a life presses hard and where it gives — read against the question you bring to it.

Vastu for a new house — the first five questions we ask
Before the plan, before the plot, before anyone talks about a kitchen — five questions that decide whether a house will sit easily on the people in it.

Rāhu and Ketu — the two shadows, plainly
They are not planets, they have no bodies, and they move backward. The two nodes of the Moon are the least understood grahas in a chart and the most blamed.

Kundalī matching beyond the gunas
Thirty-six points is where matching begins, not where it ends. What the guna score measures, what it misses, and the two things we weigh after it.

Choosing a muhūrta — how we pick the day to begin
A wedding, a foundation stone, a shop’s first day. Muhūrta is the craft of beginning at a good hour, and it is more arithmetic than mystery.

बैठकa sitting
A note answers in general. A sitting answers you.
The chart with Sachin, the card with Lakshya — in Ludhiana or on video, any time zone.
