About Vedic Astrology:
Vedic Astrology is an old science like Ayurveda which originates from the southern part of India. Dr.Hari Haran hails from a family of Vedic Astrologers. His grandfather was a sought-after Astrologer by the first family of USA, his father authored 60+ books on Vedic Astrology and Dr.Haran himself is a much sought-after Astrologer around the world.
Dr.Haran says "We can prepare and support ourselves to meet and face any obstacles and challenges upon our life path with the information available to us through our personal astrology birth chart."
The information afforded to us through vedic astrology alongside our own innate insight can serve to guide us when applied to our personal birth chart or charts we may interpret for others. Layered with planetary music, chants and mantras that aid us in stabilising our mind and remediating discomforts from physical ailments serve us by evoking the spiritual power within us required to face and overcome any hurdles.
About 1-1 Vedic Astrology reading sessions with Dr.Hari Haran:
Each planet has its own portfolio of which parts of the body and life it influences. Based upon the planetary positions from your unique birth chart (the frozen, unchangable positions of the planets at the time of your birth), Dr.Haran will discuss with you matters relating to the impacts planetary energy are having upon your family, children, life patterns, finance, investments, relationships, career and/or health.
Your session will either take shape focused entirely upon your astrology reading or it can be divided into half-astrology, half musical therapy healing (planetary mantras) recommended for your particular personal challenges/limitations or ailments. You can alert Dr.Haran to your choice upon your arrival.
If the music therapy pathway is chosen for your reading, Dr.Haran will prepare remedial measures (mantras) to counter any challenging impacts of planetary energy upon your current life phase. Dr.Haran will compile and provide you with a bespoke, personalised music remediation healing soundtrack created within your session by CD, USB file transfer or emailed file transfer (whichever is your preference). Recording your session upon your own recording device so it may be reflected back upon is encouraged.
You may book into a reading alone or with a heart-connection if you wish to have a compatibility reading. This is possible in either a 50min session or you may wish to secure 2 sessions for dual-type readings.
Your date of birth, location of birth and time of birth details are requested upon booking so that Dr.Haran can prepare your astrology chart for you before your arrival.
You may access Dr.Hari Haren's support (via WhatsApp) for any questions and/or clarification relevant to your reading for one year (this extended support is included within the session cost).
