What a reading with Dennis is like
A Jyotish reading uses sidereal positions, the Vimshottari dasha system, and divisional charts (varga) to map life themes by timed period. Dennis 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.

Does Dennis Flaherty practise Vedic / Jyotish astrology?
Yes. Dennis works within the Jyotish framework — sidereal calculations, the Vimshottari dasha system, divisional charts (varga), and remedial measures consistent with classical Indian practice. This is distinct from Western tropical astrology and clients often seek it specifically for that lineage.
How experienced is Dennis Flaherty?
Dennis has 35+ years of consulting experience and holds CVA Certified and School Founder. OAP's directory only lists practitioners who completed multi-year coursework with feedback at recognised schools — not psychic-marketplace listings or unverified bios.
Does Dennis Flaherty read charts remotely?
Yes — most consultations are conducted via video. You'll typically need to provide your birth date, exact time, and location. If your birth time is uncertain, Dennis can advise whether rectification is appropriate before the reading.
Is Dennis Flaherty a psychic?
No. Dennis is a credentialed astrologer who reads charts using technical methods taught at CVA Certified and School Founder. There's no claim to clairvoyance, mediumship, or per-minute intuitive consultation. Astrology is a structured interpretive practice — it's closer to depth-oriented consulting than to a psychic reading.
