I'm Vandana Mahindra. I've been consulting professionally as an astrologer for over five years, and in that time I've read charts for more than a hundred families — in India and across the diaspora in the UK, the US, Canada and Australia. My certifications in KP Astrology, Vedic Numerology, Medical Astrology and Childbirth Remedies were completed in 2022 through Vedic Astro. The study of the tradition itself came earlier.
I trained in all four disciplines rather than settling on one because they answer different questions. KP Astrology gives you timing — when, not just maybe. Vedic Numerology reads the numbers you were born under and the names you carry. Medical Astrology traces the traditional correlations between the planets and the body, always alongside your doctor's care and never in place of it. Childbirth Remedies is where I sit with couples navigating delayed conception — reading the promise of children in the chart, thinking through timing questions around IVF, and offering the traditional practices that support the wait. In practice, they inform each other: a KP question about a career move often touches numerology; a childbirth reading often draws on medical astrology. One chart, four tools.
I work in English, deliberately. The tradition I was taught in is mostly written in Sanskrit and Hindi, and much of the best commentary still is — but the precision of it, the actual mechanics of KP sub-lords or the Lo Shu grid or the classical medical correlations, translates cleanly into English when the person doing the translating understands both sides. That's who I'm here for: families in London, Toronto, New York and Sydney whose parents and grandparents took these charts seriously, and who want the same standard of reading in the language they now think in. Astrology done properly should give you precision, not fear. A chart is guidance for reflection — never a verdict, and never a substitute for the care of your doctor, solicitor or accountant.
