I have consulted many astrologers in my life, and have met many people who have consulted other astrologers. One common thing I learnt in the process was – most astrologers, with time, start becoming very money minded, and under the pressure of their favourite clients say something just to soothe them. They aren’t bad astrologers, but then many lose focus midway. And on the clientele side, I have met many who tell me that they spent a fortune on astro consultations, changing names, wearing gems, and performing pujas – and nothing worked. What remains in the minds of a client at the end of day is a feeling of being fooled by astrologers. We get fooled by the government day in and day out, we get fooled by doctors everyday, we get fooled by 1st world countries, we get fooled by auto guys everyday, we get fooled by friends, relatives and women – but still we make it a point that astrologers and saintly people fooled us the most!

When I started my career as a professional astrologer after leaving behind my 8 years of IT experience, I had only one thing on my mind – that I will not do astrology ‘ONLY’ for money. Of course I need money to survive, to watch movies in multiplexes, and to dine in star restaurants. Hence I made it a point that the fees I charge should be affordable by a common man, and I should always give out more than what I get in return. It works out perfectly for me. And also I try my best to avoid instances where in people might talk bad behind my back – saying they got fooled by me. So I always return the fees taken from people for whom my predictions have not worked. This way – none of my clients are at loss!

I have had incidents where in people buzz me on yahoo messenger and say – they are sick and tired of astrologers, and that they would want me to tell something about their past before they place their trust on me. I love these kinds of challenges, and by habit I have always gone into the future only after confirming the past by looking at the chart. But these days this practice irritates me a bit. It is like biting an apple before buying it – you can always return the apple if it is rotten inside, you surely will get your money back, but you cannot buy by tasting it.

In this scenario I had to think about a way wherein I continue taking up challenges, and at the same time don’t give up myself for cheap. I am always ready to prove my abilities as an astrologer at any given forum, but then I should get some massive returns. Hence took up this new resolution.

As a rule I return the fees, when my client wants it back – so no gain, no loss for anyone. But for people who want to test my astrological abilities before investing their ‘fortune’ for a reading, here is my new product.

I won’t charge to tell few incidents about their past – with time range. It will be completely free of cost. This is to gain his/her trust. And if I am on dot about the past, and you want your future to be predicted by me then my charges will be 10 times more than my usual charges. My normal charges are Rs 500, and after I have passed your test it is Rs 5000!

Just today morning I got someone who wanted me to tell – whether he is married or not – looking at his chart. I mailed him ‘you are not married.’ And he said, I was right!
