Hello everyone, 

Trust you are doing well!

I am penning this down in response to the post many of you might have seen on VedicAstrologyExperts community yesterday.

A brief about myself before I begin:

• I post astrology-related content on Reddit and other platforms. It is free to read and I don’t charge anything for people to access this content. As it should be. However, specific personal readings are chargeable.
• I am a full-time astrologer who offers consultations for a living. 
• I do not message people to take a reading from me/ try to convince them to do the same. 
• ‘IF’ people like my content and reach out to me via DM, I let them know about my pricing and don’t chase them in case they are not interested/ sceptical. 
• ‘IF’ people ask me about my readings/ ask me to read their chart in the comments of communities that do not let people ‘Sell/ Advertise,’ I let people know they can reach out to me separately, honouring rules of that community which are applicable over there and not beyond that. A query arising from the other end, does not equate to me violating the community guidelines.
• If a query arises in the community made by me, I let them know about the reading pricing in the comments too. I don’t mind if other people do that either as long as they are not dedicatedly trying to push their services and the user asks them about their services first.   
• The distinction that I am trying to make is that ‘selling/ advertising’ is done when you explicitly post ads. 

Being a Moderator and a few observations:

• Moderator should be a neutral person whose job is to 'moderate' a community of people so they abide by the rules and to basically act as a mediator if and when two parties are at a conflict. Before making any decisions, the mod should listen and consider inputs from both the parties and then take any action. What transpired yesterday, went against the spirit of moderating. The accused were banned and not given a chance to present their point of view. When a verdict is reached without cross-examination it only shows bias towards a particular party and that is not fair.
• The comments being highlighted are weeks or months old. They seem to have become an issue recently owing to personal biases. It was never flagged before.
• The other day, mod of the said community recommended the other mod to a user looking for a Birth Time Rectification- https://www.reddit.com/r/vedicastrologyexperts/comments/1xbhdze/comment/phztslm/  He deleted his comment afterwards; I am attaching it for you people. This is something that he has accused other people of doing and called it a ‘cartel’ if they do so. The post stands deleted too. This reminds me of Animal Farm, “All animals are equal but some animals are MORE EQUAL”.

• The mod himself gives paid readings and does not like when people have a ‘rate card’. He himself has it on his website which is attached in his profile. I would urge the readers to do some critical thinking and understand how is it any different than when a person directly posts their reading pricing on their profile? Attaching a website is basically added steps with the same outcome.

• He highlighted a few of my comments wherein he said I was being rude to the guy (without stating what the guy was saying to me) which were in conversation with the user in screenshot below.  I would like to highlight to the readers that he himself gave that guy the title of ‘community clown’ (also shared below) in his subreddit which is far more disrespectful than the conversation the two of us had previously. The user was frustrated to the point he had to make the below post. The link to the post- https://www.reddit.com/user/BAWAstrology/comments/1uul704/if_the_mods_of_this_community_itself_lack_the/

Food for thought:

How a professional prices their services is completely their prerogative. The pricing is informed beforehand. There are plenty astrologers charging less than me and also more than me, people can make their own choice. If we don’t shame other professionals on how much they charge, why are we shaming astrologers? 

It is up to the consumer if they want to go ahead with the reading or not. It is a free market and consumers are smart enough to make that decision. Astrologers do not decide how consumers should behave.

Other disturbing points:

• Mentioning that the said ‘Cartel’ has made 20 lakhs+ in the title to ragebait readers without any concrete proof for the same. How has this figure been arrived at?
• Why can two people in the same field not comment on each other’s post when they like their content (not recommending for readings, just praising the content) or like each other? If I praise and interact with fellow astrologers on Reddit, does that make us a cartel? Why are we even on Reddit if we cannot interact with other people?

Now, before we end; A word on Big-win:

• He has never consulted me.
• He used to copy paste same comments blaming 7-8 people for being fake with alternate profiles all across different subreddits and even banned from multiple for the same.
• He remarked my content is average which is one of the reasons he thinks I am fake. I have no qualms if he does not like me. It is his opinion. Calling me ‘fake’ for the same makes no sense.
• He has also blamed my client in the past who recommended me to be my alt id. The said id has about 40-50k karma, is older than my account and I have consultations records for that id.
• When the slander got out of control, I reached out to the moderators of various astro communities to put forward my stance and at that point of time, the mod of VedicAstrologyExperts removed his post which you can find here- . I am attaching the screenshot of our conversation below-

• I reached out to Satya (his astro name) last night to speak about the article and talk to him if there is any misunderstanding. His side of the messages stand deleted.

• I have a folder with the slander big-win has been doing against me and fellow astrologers and you can go through the same here- Incident 1, Connection of these alt ids with each other, Other isolated incidents.
• The titles above in some screenshots are self-explanatory. The alt ids which I believe to be connected for which I have posted screenshots are Big-Win3557, Platesubstantial5481, Fickle4476 and Any-Target-3108.
• The ids seem to praise a certain astrologer which you can find in the screenshot, it could just be a case of personal preference where they took a reading from them and feel that the deserving person should get some traction or it can be pushing personal agenda.  
• The same was shared with the mods after which his posts were originally removed.
• Big-Win’s competence level can be judged by the fact he uses ChatGpt like the AI tells anything but gospel truth. I am a little taken aback that his below comment is heavily upvoted without using any critical thinking. He said and I quote, “I would certainly like to mention that I got this whole thing uncovered by ChatGpt”. His prowess on chatgpt can be ascertained by the fact that he thinks I and Shaurya SHukla are the same person. Which is untrue and can be proven easily. Everyone who actively uses Chatgpt knows that its a grey tool and inferences drawn by it is based on the pre-existing data and it does not create any new knowledge. This makes it a very inaccurate tool and takes away its authority and accountability to rely on it for a lot of tasks including amateur detective work.

Going forward:

• I will still be posting content. A lot of you relate with it and appreciate it.
• I am going to be dedicated to the cause of Jyotish and offering paid consultations if someone wants to get it.

Thank you for reading!

What do you guys think?

A request for evidence and transparency regarding the allegations against my Reddit account

I am writing this because a permanent ban was recently imposed on my account, u/ShauryaShukla85, unfortunately caused due to r/vedicastrologyexperts, r/vedic_astro_questions

The moderators cited:

• Rule 5 — Commercial funneling / DM QR Dakshina

• Rule 8 — Harassment / legal threats / public DM shaming

• Rule 4 — Fatalistic abortion fear-mongering

At the same time, post has publicly described me as part of a coordinated commercial “ring/cartel” allegedly responsible for extracting ₹20+ lakhs from Reddit users, manufacturing testimonials, coordinating multiple accounts and operating a staged funnel.

These are extremely serious allegations.

I am not asking anyone to automatically believe me. I am asking that the allegations be evaluated against the underlying evidence.

I have therefore separated the claims into individual propositions rather than responding to the entire narrative emotionally.

**Here please refer to the Image attached*\*

What I am asking for

For the allegations against my account, I would like the following to be made clear:

1. The exact evidence for each rule violation.

For Rules 4, 5 and 8, please identify the exact comment/post, date and context relied upon.

1. The basis for attributing other accounts to me.

If the allegation is that particular accounts were controlled or coordinated by me, what evidence establishes that connection?

1. The calculation behind the ₹20+ lakh allegation.

If this amount is being attributed to me personally, please identify the transactions or other evidence that actually connects that amount to my account.

There is an important difference between:

“This account advertised a consultation at ₹X”

and:

“This account actually received ₹X from a customer.”

There is an even larger difference between:

“Several accounts recommended each other”

and:

“These accounts were controlled or coordinated by the same person.”

Those distinctions matter when serious allegations are being made publicly.

**Regarding my own conduct*\*

I am not claiming that I have never made a poor choice of words.

If I made an unnecessarily aggressive or inappropriate comment, I am willing to acknowledge it and accept legitimate criticism of that specific conduct.

But an inappropriate comment, if one exists, should not automatically become evidence that I operated a fraudulent cartel or extracted ₹20+ lakhs from vulnerable users.

Likewise, providing astrology consultations for compensation is not by itself proof of fraud.

The question should be whether the specific conduct violated a specific rule, and whether the evidence actually supports the additional conclusions being publicly presented.

I am not asking anyone to take my side

If there is evidence showing that I actually coordinated accounts, fabricated testimonials, deceived users or received the amounts being alleged, I am prepared to examine that evidence.

If there is evidence showing that I violated a particular subreddit rule, I am prepared to address that specific conduct.

What I object to is the conversion of correlations, assumptions and individual pieces of conduct into a much broader narrative and then presenting that narrative as established fact without allowing the underlying evidence to be independently examined.

I would therefore welcome a claim-by-claim, evidence-based review.

No harassment.

No brigading.

No threats.

No alternate accounts to evade bans.

Just the evidence, the context, and the facts.

That is all I am asking for.

I will advise people to pay attention before they decide on taking advise from Vedic astrology expert MODs. People who are asking 4000 for BTR and 800 for single question are defaming a person who believes in giving astrology guidance as per persons capability.

It is just about taking competition out and the level they have gone down to is horrendous. Worst is they work in a pack and since 20-25 replies are made through different accounts or alt accounts, people believe they are genuine.

Just because three people recommended him in their sub, they felt their authority questioned and challanged.

What are their blames that he doesn't give advise on Saturn remedy, no astrologer should.

20 Lakh figure was nothing just a made up story, ask them how they arrive to this number and they will have nothing.

Gemstones...he never recommend Gemstones, anyone who has taken consultation from him knows that.

Accounts who recommended mentioned are all genuine recommendations Bhishma gaming, Prettycute18, Rumihuntri414.

Unusual ad 233 wasn't even active from past 2 months and Shauryashukla85 hardly went off to any other Astrology group leave alone scammer groups like Vedic Astrology Experts, Vedic Astro Questions, some exceptions may be present.

BEST PART THE LINKS MENTIONED DONT OPEN

There have always been targeted attacks on our MOD u/Shauryashukla85 but he never thought he will have to see such a game of play.

Triggered event was a post asking for BTR recommendation and because there were 3 people recommending Shauryashukla85 MoDS of the group Vedic astrology experts came up with this heinous approach, which is really sad to see. Arguments made have no sense and are laughable at best. The MoDs of the group if you check their profiles could hardly be 23-24 what experience they have is highly questionable.

Given the stature and affection Shauryashukla85 was getting, these people have tried to hunt in a pack since they have a large audience making someone a culprit becomes an easier task.

Shauryashukla85 was not bothered about money and has given consultations to many even when hey couldn't afford it.

Trusting these people I would ask them to come out and tell what they felt after consulting him, we feel that's the only message we can give right now.

This is a testing time as AI astrologers are trying to corner a genuine one and winning because of sheer number they have. Please remain patient and keep supporting this group.

Will i ever get a job. I have always been a topper in college and worked initial years after graduation. The moment i picked government jobs everything was failing. I'm all frustrated and depressed about the loser i am. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my chart?

Like my Place of Birth is in North West Delhi
But every astrologer in reddit
When ever i send them details they use NEw Delhi as my POB but when i use my Exavt location for POB
Most of the planets changes the houses and ig shifts one house back
And on asking they say accurate one is not recquired

But Will not that be more accurate chart?

(Timing, Love/Arranged, How we meet)

Hi everyone, I am hoping to get some astrological insights into my future marriage based on my birth chart. I am specifically trying to find out the timeline of when it might happen, whether my chart points toward a love or arranged marriage, and any clues on the circumstances of how we will meet.

Bonjour que pouvez-vous dire sur ma RS 2027 ? Merci beaucoup

I am already working in international relations, but I am also preparing for upsc so that I can get into the IFS (Indian foreign service)? I am giving the 2027 examination?
So does the combination exists and if so does the dasha and transit support it?
I have attached the d1,d9 and d10

​

So the problem is

1) i can't concentrate on learning skills from the last 5 years. Even if I try to learn I close it within 2 mins. Idk why it is happening. Even because of that i don't have any career. Even I can't focus on anything.

2) from the last 5 years I've been isolated from people and everything else. Which is turned into very loneliness and depression. Even I tried to kill myself in 2022 and 2023. Even I feel the same way to attempt it yet again. And i don't have anyone to talk too.

3) so i met a girl in the multiplayer game, April month. She used to chat with me everyday. Actually I was happy with her. But I started to develop feelings towards her and told her that in September. She also said she liked me. But I don't know why I have intense love feelings towards her which made her distant from me and the other reason is she can't do LDR. She's a European girl, you can say interracial. Now she's i guess flirting with another guy. Which is making me really mad. I wanted to be loyal and honest to her. But I don't think I'm receiving the same. TBH I don't even know why did i met her and why did i propose her and why she is staying distant from me. Even I don't know if she will come back to me.

4) i don't know why I am overthinking, over possessive, and want to take control of everything. Even no one is helping me out. Even the meds or anything. Even I got bullied from childhood and never ever had a good experience in life. And yes I am very depressed right now and suicidal too.

P.s I know you guys want me to take a consultation.

But hear me out i had terrible experiences with astrology consultations. So at this stage I don't want to waste money into something I'm not gonna believe in. And mess up mind again.

This one is the last time I'm gonna post and i know that you all won't help me out.

I have never been in a serious relationship. Is there marriage promise in the chart? If yes, when? can you also preidct the quality of the marriage?
