What a reading with Andrew is like
A Jyotish reading uses sidereal positions, the Vimshottari dasha system, and divisional charts (varga) to map life themes by timed period. Andrew typically opens with current dasha and antardasha, examines house-lord conditions, and may suggest remedial measures (gemstones, mantras, charity) consistent with classical Jyotish practice rather than modern psychological framing.
