Astrology, explained
The questions people ask us most.
Simple, honest answers about Vedic astrology, Kundli matching, Manglik, Sade Sati and the timing in your chart, and how a consultation with us works.
How does a consultation at Lumion Studio work?
It is simple. You send us your birth details, your date, time and place of birth, on WhatsApp. We study your chart for the question on your mind, and you receive a detailed written report with clear answers, your timing and simple remedies. After that you can ask us anything that is still unclear. Everything happens on WhatsApp, in your own time.
What is a Kundli, and what does it show?
Your Kundli is your birth chart, a map of where the planets were at the moment you were born. It shows your nature, your strengths and weak spots, and the timing of the big areas of life, your career, marriage, money and health. Reading it well is how we understand what is happening for you and what is coming next.
What is Kundli matching, and why is it done before marriage?
Kundli matching compares two birth charts to see how well a couple suits each other. It looks at nature, values, understanding, health, family life and timing. In India it is done before marriage so both families understand the strengths of the match and where the couple may need patience, and can take the decision with a clear mind.
What is Gun Milan, and what does a score out of 36 mean?
Gun Milan is the points system used in matching, from the Ashtakoota method, out of a maximum of 36. A score above 18 is usually considered workable and above 24 is considered good. But the number is only a starting point. A low score is not a rejection and a high score is not a promise, so the full charts should always be read, not just the points.
What does it mean to be Manglik?
A person is called Manglik when Mars sits in certain houses of their birth chart. It is feared far more than it needs to be. In many charts the effect is mild, balanced by other factors, or evened out by the partner's chart. The honest way to handle it is to read both charts properly and see how much it really matters, instead of worrying.
What is Sade Sati, and is it really a bad time?
Sade Sati is the roughly seven and a half year period when Saturn moves over and around your moon sign. It has a heavy reputation, but it is not all bad. For many people it is a time of hard work that builds lasting results, and how it feels depends on the rest of your chart. Knowing where you are in it helps you move through it calmly.
What is a dasha, and how does it shape timing?
A dasha is a planetary period in your chart, a stretch of time ruled by one planet. Life moves through these periods one after another, and each brings its own themes. Knowing which dasha you are in is how we tell you whether this is a year to push ahead, to build quietly, or to wait for a better window.
Can astrology tell me the right time for an important decision?
This is one of the most useful things it does. Your chart shows favourable and difficult periods, so instead of guessing, you can plan a marriage, a job change or a big move for a time that supports you. The effort is still yours, but knowing the timing means you act when the path is clearer.
Do you suggest remedies?
Yes, where your chart genuinely needs support. Our remedies are simple things you can do at home, a small practice or habit or change. We keep them practical and easy to follow, never costly or complicated. A remedy should bring you peace, not a big bill.
Is what I share with you private?
Completely. Your birth details, your report and whatever you tell us stay only between you and us. We never share your information with anyone. Discretion is simply part of how we work.
