Who Is Ritesh Shukla?
Journalist. 70 million readers.
20+ years studying ancient scripture.
A different kind of astrologer.
His grandfather, a scholar of both mathematics and astrology, introduced him to Vedic astrology at a young age. He studied quietly for decades while building a journalism career. Writing on social and cultural issues. Interviewing Jay Shetty, Nobel laureates, and world leaders.
He is a pattern observer before he is a spiritual interpreter.
His Method
"I think of myself more like a translator. The ancient scriptures reveal patterns. My job is to translate those into practical insight you can actually use in your life."
Personal proof: He used this framework to save his own arranged marriage 22 years ago, after trying to sabotage it by calling his future in‑laws at 4:30am. Read the full story →
What Clients Have Experienced
"Vedic Astrology is a science based on a system of mathematical calculations. Until I met Ritesh Shukla, I did not think such a system was possible, let alone be accurate in its predictions. But Ritesh's work on my own birthchart has given me insight into my own life that I wrongly thought was troubled and coming to an early end. His interpretations based on the birthchart calculations he did for my son's family life and business dealings were not just helpful but proved to be useful and accurate. So thanks to Ritesh, we are learning. But more importantly, we are trusting that the Universe does indeed have our back."

"What amazed me was how clearly his insights landed. Some of the things he shared hit me on a deep level, while others helped me understand the bigger patterns and support present in my chart. His readings have shifted how I relate to my life, my path, and even my appreciation for the planetary influences at play."

"My experience with Ritesh was outstanding. He was patient with me during the information-gathering process. I have a better understanding of the bigger 'why' behind the major traumatic events in my life. It has given me a sense of peace knowing my life has unfolded exactly as it was meant to."

"I am so grateful for my chart reading with Ritesh Shukla. It has enhanced my understanding of my life purpose and answered many questions about my life journey to this point."

What People Seek Clarity On
Real questions. Specific situations.
Here's what people ask about.
Relationships & Compatibility
- Where do we align, and where do we clash?
- What patterns keep causing the same fights?
- How can we work with our differences instead of fighting them?
Purpose, Direction & Growth
- What am I built for?
- Am I on the right path, or should I pivot?
- What kind of work fits my nature?
Career & Business
- Which roles align with my natural strengths?
- When's the right time to take a big risk?
- Is now the right time for a career change?
Breaking Patterns & Cycles
- Why do I keep ending up in the same situation?
- What am I not seeing about this situation?
- How do I stop repeating the same mistakes?
Children & Parenting
- What is my child's nature and potential?
- Why is my child wired so differently from me?
- How can I parent in alignment with who they actually are?
Major Decisions & Timing
- Is this the right time to make a big decision?
- What's coming up that I should prepare for?
- Why does everything feel stuck right now?
Don't know your exact birth time?
We can discuss options for approximate times or time-rectification methods.
Who This Is For:
This is for you if:
- You're in a transition: Starting a business, changing careers, or navigating a major life change. You want to know when to move.
- You want relationship clarity: You keep hitting the same patterns with partners, or you're in a relationship that feels stuck.
- You're seeking self-understanding: You've done the therapy, read the books, tried the frameworks. But something's still missing.
- You're a parent: You want to understand your child, not force them into who you think they should be.
- You value analysis and openness: You don't want vague generalities. You want something concrete.
This isn't the right fit if:
- You want fixed predictions: This is pattern recognition, not fortune-telling. Ritesh won't tell you exactly what will happen.
- You want passive answers: This work requires your participation. You'll learn to recognize your own patterns.
- You want validation, not insight: Ritesh will tell you what he sees, not what you want to hear.
- You want someone else to decide: This can clarify your options, but the choices remain yours.
Note: Healthy skepticism is welcome.
We're offering a framework, not a belief system.

What Is Vedic Astrology?
Vedic astrology (also called Jyotish, "the science of light") is a mathematics-based system that maps twelve key areas of your life.
The goal isn't prediction. It's understanding your nature.
Recognizing repeating patterns. Knowing when to act and when to rest.
The Twelve Life Sections
Your chart maps patterns across these twelve areas
Self & Foundation
1. Identity & Vitality
2. Resources & Values
3. Courage & Initiative
4. Foundations & Peace
Growth & Interaction
5. Creation & Intelligence
6. Resilience & Problem‑Solving
7. Partnership & Mirroring
8. Transformation & Depth
Purpose & Result
9. Wisdom & Expansion
10. Impact & Career
11. Fulfillment & Network
12. Release & Rest
A Note on Naming
Traditional Vedic terms can sound alarming out of context. The 6th section is classically called "enemies and disease" but really governs your capacity to face obstacles. The 12th ("loss") is actually about release and rest. We use names that reflect what these areas actually do in your life.
Learn more about the twelve sections →Vedic vs. Western Astrology
Western astrology (horoscopes, astrology apps) uses the tropical zodiac based on seasons. It emphasizes your Sun sign for personality insights.
Vedic astrology uses actual star positions and mathematical calculations that don't change based on preference. The numbers are objective.
But translating those patterns into practical insight requires experience, informed intuition, and deep immersion in the calculation process.
Vedic astrology emphasizes your Moon sign, which shifts every 2-3 days (vs. your Sun sign, which changes monthly), offering far more granular insight.
In short: Western astrology groups people by birth month, giving you broad personality types. Vedic astrology calculates to the minute, offering precise timing and patterns.
Why Timing Changes Everything
Life has seasons. When you understand yours, you stop pushing against the tide and start moving with it.
The same seed planted in spring vs. winter yields different results. The same business plan launched during expansion vs. consolidation sees different success. The same conversation when someone's open vs. defensive lands differently.
"When something isn't working, often the timing is wrong, not the intention."
This system has been refined through thousands of years of documented observation. Ritesh brings both the mathematical rigor and the interpretive depth to translate it into guidance you can actually use.
Timing awareness doesn't guarantee outcomes.
But it helps you choose when to act and when to wait.
Common Questions
Do I need to believe in astrology for this to work?
No. This can be approached as a framework for self-reflection and pattern recognition rather than a belief system. The value comes from noticing what resonates.
Is this fortune-telling?
No. This is pattern recognition and timing awareness. Ritesh doesn't predict fixed outcomes. He helps you understand the rhythms and patterns at play so you can participate with them consciously.
Will you tell me scary things about my future?
No. Ritesh's philosophy: "Knowledge should make you lighter, not heavier." Challenges are framed as patterns to understand and work with, never as fixed fate.
What if I don't know my exact birth time?
We can work with approximate times, though precision is reduced. Time-rectification methods can sometimes help. Contact us to discuss your situation.
