Astrologer Vijay Goel Interview

How did you get interested in astrology initially? What made you come into the field of astrology, as a profession?

I was always curious to know the nature of an individual, right from my school time. In those days, I got a book on handwriting analysis which fascinated me a lot. I was a serious and meritorious student and was not at all interested in wasting my time. I favored reading academic books and preferred sports as curricular activities. Somehow, I read that book and used to tell the confidence level of my friends by looking into their notebooks. In college days, I read numerology and ‘Linda Goodman - Western Sun Sign’ just to match the nature of friends among each other.

In the course of time, I found myself helpless in carrying my most desired pursuit of becoming an engineer. I realized that there was some external power which was holding me completely. I could not find satisfied answer for this eternal quest, which was holding me back and was the cause of helplessness. Once during my PG, while I was travelling to Mata Vaishno Devi with my classmates, I purchased some Vedic Jyotish books from railway station. I thought that I will get the answer of how and why an individual gets entangled in the hands of destiny. From that day onwards, I became passionate for astrology. From that particular day, destiny has always helped me in this field. I joined ICAS in 1997 and was lucky to attend motivated lectures of Shri K.N. Rao at Jaipur, who later became my idol in Jyotish. One morning due to sheer destiny, I was called by the Rajasthan Patrika to perform some Vastu for their site. Due to my ideas of application, work and passion, they persuaded me to become their official consultant. Hence, I entered into this field as a full time Jyotish professional and started serving this planet as a Jyotish & Vastu guide and teacher from 2004 onwards. Besides being a consultant for hundreds of clients, I taught Jyotish to a large number of students under the banner of Rajasthan Patrika.

What astrological system do you use and why?

I have done two years course from ICAS, which was more focused on Parashara Astrology. However, due to Shri K.N. Rao and Shri Shakti Mohan Singhvi Ji, I was too much inspired by Jaimini system. I kept updating myself with various systems and extracted the best technical approach from all systems.

I went through all books of Shri K.N. Rao, Shri C.S. Patel, Shri Sheshadri Iyer and KAS system to make the grip over Divisional charts, Ashtakvarga, and various Chakras.

I took few years to translate original Lal Kitab and to understand the basic grammar of it. We can say LK (Lal Kitab) as Naadi astrology from North. I learnt KP system and picked up placidus unequal Chalit for prediction and went through various offshoot system based on Sub- theory. I also went through Nadi system of south to have the strong grip over ‘transits’ and went through the published works of Shri R.G. Rao and Shri S.N. Naik. I interacted with various scholars and exchanged views through seminars, workshops and various internet forums.

In this long journey of studying and teaching, I developed many rules of prediction. I always do composite approach in reading the horoscope. My preferential subject is Parashara, Jaimini, Lal Kitab and Naadi astrology.

Any incident related to astrology in your life or your prediction, which created impact that you want to share with our readers?

I learnt astrology before my marriage and applied the concepts on my family members and other near and dear ones. I declared two predictions of myself about different instances. Both were made openly in my family ceremony and according to it, my first child will be a boy. I also predicted the delivery date. When the date of delivery came nearer, doctors after having sonography examination, gave a date which was one month later than mine. My sister who was doing MBBS at that time (now gynecologist) made mockery of my prediction. Later, due to some circumstances, a male child was delivered on my predicted date. This was a shocking event for me that how planets failed science and from then onwards, my sister started believing in astrology. Today, I have hundreds of life turning predictions in my credit and I closely feel the power of almighty and destiny.

What are your suggestions for budding astrologers or for those who’re interested in this subject?

First and foremost thing one must remember is that this is divine subject and not an ordinary mundane science. With utmost sincerity and devotion only, astrology can be learnt. Jyotishi or astrologer must be honest, truthful, and positive minded in his life to get the divine blessings and grip over the subject. Always use Jyotish with the intention of welfare of native and avoid negative approach at all cost. In this way, Jyotishi will become the source of spreading divinity for the welfare of people.

According to you, which is the best astrology book that one should read?

One must have Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra which is ‘Gita’ of Jyotish. According to the subject chosen in Jyotish, one must purchase all the books of the writer cum teacher. For e.g. for KP system, one must go through all the 6 readers of Shri Krishnamurthi Ji.
