MODALITIES

I am Rushali, an astrologer, tarot reader, and spiritual coach rooted in Goa, India. My practice weaves together the ancient wisdom of the nine planets (Navgraha) with the intuitive language of tarot to help people find answers to the questions that keep them awake at night.

I came to astrology not through a classroom, but through a period of deep personal questioning, a time when nothing in my life made sense and I desperately needed to understand why. Astrology gave me that. It didn't just predict, it explained, and that changed everything for me.

Originally from Lucknow, I spent years as a digital marketer, someone who lives in data, patterns, and systems. Astrology, I discovered, is the oldest system of pattern recognition there is. The two worlds aren't so different.

The Journey

How I Got Here

01

☉ The Question That Started Everything

Like most people who find astrology, I didn't seek it out, it found me. During one of the most challenging periods of my life, I kept asking the same question: why is this happening to me? Then I found astrology, specifically Vedic astrology and the ancient text of BPHS, and for the first time, the patterns of my life began to make sense.

02

☽ The Study: Self-Taught & Soul-Led

I learned astrology the way most serious practitioners do, obsessively and independently. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS), the foundational classical text of Vedic astrology, became my primary guide. Tarot entered as the perfect complement, where astrology gives the map and tarot gives the moment-to-moment conversation with the soul.

03

✦ The Readings: Skeptics Welcome

Over 100 readings later, I've noticed something: the people who come in most skeptical leave the most amazed. When someone walks in thinking "this is probably nonsense" and walks out saying "how did you know that," that's when I know astrology is doing what it's supposed to do.

04

♓ Astrology as a Tool, Not a Verdict

I do not practice predictive astrology as fortune-telling. For me, the birth chart is not a verdict, it is a map: a tool for understanding your patterns, your karma, your dharma, and the timing of your life's seasons.

How I Work

My Approach

01

The Chart as a Living Map

I read your birth chart not as a fixed destiny but as a living, breathing reflection of who you are. Life is a blend of free will and what is written, and I honour both.

02

Honesty Over Comfort

I will not tell you what you want to hear. I will tell you what the chart says, with compassion, but without sugar-coating.

03

Understanding Over Prediction

My goal is never to make you dependent on readings. It's to give you enough understanding to begin reading your own life's patterns and timing.
